Incredible Trip
We chose Martin as our driver because, during our initial communication over WhatsApp, he came across as extremely knowledgeable and was excellent at answering all of our questions. I’m happy to say that our first impressions were absolutely correct.
Martin was an incredible driver who took great care of us throughout the seven days we spent together. He communicated clearly and consistently throughout the trip, helped us manage logistics, and made the entire journey feel seamless and stress-free.
Martin was incredibly informative, answering all the questions we had, from questions about the wildlife we saw to the history of the country. He even accompanied us on game drives and was often more informative than some of the guides we met. Along the way, he recommended fantastic places to stop and visit, which made the experience even more special.
The car was extremely comfortable and spacious, which made long drives very enjoyable. Martin was also incredibly friendly and professional, and we always felt completely safe travelling with him.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better driver or guide for our trip, and we would highly recommend Martin to anyone visiting Uganda.

AMAZING!!
Our safari in Tanzania was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and our guide Richard was amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Seeing wildlife up close in places like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely breathtaking.
We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests and even a cheetah amen here new born cubs in the wild. Richard was amazing at spotting animals and explaining their behavior, which made the experience even more special.
The lodges and camps were comfortable, the food was great, and waking up to the sounds of nature every morning was unforgettable. The landscapes were stunning, and every day felt like a new adventure.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend it. It’s an incredible way to experience nature and wildlife in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Friendly, responsive, and experienced—truly dedicated to creating an unforgettable safari
My mum and I went on a 6-night (7-day) safari with Jocky Tours in March 2026, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience.
From the beginning, the booking process was handled very professionally. Communication was quick and efficient, and it was easy to adjust the safari according to our wishes. One thing we really appreciated was the flexibility regarding accommodations—you can choose your own hotels or tents, and people traveling in the same vehicle may stay in different places depending on their preferences. Jocky Tours even helped us with other arrangements in Kenya, such as booking a train ticket. Compared with other quotes we received, Jocky Tours was also the most affordable option, even though we stayed in comfortable hotels rather than budget accommodation.
When we arrived at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, we were a little nervous. It was our first trip to Africa, and we didn’t quite know what to expect. On top of that, our flight was delayed and we arrived a day later than planned. However, this was no problem at all for Jocky Tours. They even responded to my messages at 4 a.m. and quickly reorganized our airport pick-up.
After meeting our guide, Francis, we immediately felt that we were in very capable and trustworthy hands. We were impressed with how well he organized each safari day. He always explained what was planned and asked if we would like to change anything. Francis took care of everything—from preparing lunch packs to checking us into the hotels—and was clearly dedicated to making our safari an experience of a lifetime.
Everything during the safari was exactly as described in the itinerary—or even better. We made a few small adjustments with the group during the trip, and everything was always discussed openly and arranged without any issues.
Since I was traveling with my 69-year-old mother, we decided not to stay in tents. That turned out to be a great choice. The hotels, food, and staff were all of a very high standard, comparable to what we are used to in Europe. Francis was also very thoughtful and helped rearrange the seating in the safari vehicle, so my mum wouldn’t have to climb to the back and we could sit together. This made the whole week much more comfortable for us.
During the safari we saw an incredible number of animals. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five more than once, as well as many other species—often very close to the vehicle. Despite this, we always felt completely safe. This would not have been possible without such a skilled and experienced guide. Francis has over 15 years of experience, and it clearly shows. He knows exactly where to go and is both a fast and very safe driver.
In addition to the game drives, we also enjoyed a few other activities, including visiting a Maasai village, a guided walk near the Mara River, and Crescent Island, which we can absolutely recommend—you can walk among giraffes and other animals there. These experiences were wonderful additions to the safari and gave us the opportunity to learn a little more about Kenyan culture and daily life. We could always ask Francis questions, and he was happy to share his knowledge not only about the animals but also about Kenya and its people.
We can give Jocky Tours and Francis our warmest recommendation. They truly do an outstanding job, and with them you can be sure to have an unforgettable safari experience. If we ever return to Kenya, we will definitely ask for Francis as our guide again.

We found the tour operators to be friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
African tours on a whole are expensive and in our case booked from halfway around the world. I kept waiting for an unpleasant surprise that did not happen. The tour went as advertised and exceeded our expectations in every way. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We felt that we had made a true friend at the end of our time together. All of our accommodations were excellent with the wait staff that could not do enough to please us. At the end of our tour, we felt that we had received an exceptional experience at a value price. We highly recommend Crimson Brook Safaris.

Very Happy we went with Meru Slopes!
Meru Slopes Tours
The staff at Meru Slopes was welcoming and gave us a sense of family. Both of our guides were knowledgeable and excellent drivers. Victor, our city guide had to navigate through extreme traffic and unscheduled road closers to help us get to our destinations. He could backout and turn around in complete gridlock. Douglas our Safari Guide was very knowledgeable, an excellent driver and super friendly. He could see things that that would undoubtable be missed, explain all of the details and habits of the animals and found everything and more that we were hoping to see. The Meru safari camp made us feel like family as well. We miss them already.

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure in Tanzania
Our safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti was truly one of the most amazing travel experiences we’ve ever had. Everything was very well organized, which made the whole journey stress-free.
The planning of the safari was excellent. Each day felt perfectly balanced — full of adventure but never rushed.
The accommodations were also great: comfortable, and located in beautiful natural settings. My personal love is staying in tented camp-lodge Tukaone Serengeti camp surrounded by the African savannah! It made the experience absolutely special! Waking up to the sounds of nature and watching the sunset over the plains is something I’ll remember for a long time.
A big part of why this safari was so special was our driver-guide, John. He was fantastic! Not only is he a very skilled driver (which is important on some of the park roads!) If anything unexpected came up, he handled it easily and always found a solution.
He also has an incredible eye for wildlife. Time after time he managed to spot animals that we would have completely missed on our own — lions resting in the tall grass, a leopard hidden in a tree, even rhinos far away in the distance.
Thanks to his skills — and a bit of luck — we managed to see the entire Big Five. That alone would have made the trip unforgettable. But we also had fun spotting the famous “Ugly Five”, which made the experience even more unique.
So, if you want to have the safari of your dreams, then with John as your driver you will on heaven!
Each park had its own atmosphere:
the massive baobab trees and huge elephant herds in Tarangire, the perfect place to see elephants - just an arm's length away!
the breathtaking views and dense wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater. An unique park in the crater of an ancient volcano. Absolutely stunning views from above and a multitude of wild animals living their lives in a relatively small area, all the while allowing people to gaze upon them with rapt attention.
and the endless plains of the Serengeti - Oh, this is my personal crush! - filled with animals everywhere you look.
Words and descriptions are powerless here – the Serengeti simply has to be seen!
Overall, the safari exceeded our expectations — great organization, comfortable places to stay, incredible wildlife, and a truly excellent guide. We’re very grateful for this experience and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who dreams of seeing Tanzania’s amazing national parks. It was a trip we’ll never forget. 🐘🦁🌅

Absolutely fantastic
I did a tour to Mahale mountains, I had to cancel twice but was determined to go so I went at the beginning of February. From when I booked the tour until after the tour, the communication was superb, the organisation of the tour was amazing and the tour itself was incredible, I can’t compliment the company enough, I highly recommend Gogiraffe safaris to anyone visiting Tanzania.
