I’m very happy having a good tour guide Saleamlak, he is nice and knowledgeable.
During the holiday seasons,we encountered some non-human-caused problems, but the tour guide resolved them promptly, allowing us to complete the trip smoothly.

OUr tour guide Saleamlak is a knowledeable, willing to learn, helpful and service-oriented person.
The tour was great, but the qeuipments provided were not that great, especially the vechicle was broken during the trip.
Well the 3 days volcano trip with 4x4 was fatastic, the food, the service are also great.

I was amazing to do the safari with you
The safari was great! We saw so many animals and the guides where very good too. Everything was well planned!
We had unfortunately two broken cars during te safari, what was a bit sad because we had to wait for long times and did not quite everything that day, but these things can happen.
Thanks a lot for the wonderfull experience we had in Kenya and Tanzania

Prompt response and correct itinerary
Reasonable pricing, no unplanned hotel changes. Only downside: last-day itinerary misaligned with flight time, causing long airport wait. Our guide Ken was outstanding—experienced, punctual, accent-free English, great at finding all the animals we wanted to see. He shared fascinating animal facts and Kenyan culture/ customs during the safari, adding wonderful cultural depth to the trip.

Timely responses with queries
We all really enjoyed Arathusa. 100% for everthing!!
The directions to the lodge were vague and confusing. Perhaps if you liaised with Arathusa about the road conditions (Vian was very helpful on our return journey) then it would be more accurate.
We changed our party size from 5 to 6 and it felt like we had to do all the work to organise the change of dates to accommodate us.
All my daughter Emma’s queries were answered by one sentence responses. (Caileen Fortune) 😔
My communications with Dorothy were good and helpful.
She was helpful with the price reduction I asked for. 😊

green and bright
Tanzania turned out to be very green and vibrant. The people are very kind and welcoming, with a very distinctive culture.

Great value and knowledgeable tour guide
The tour was great, and 3 days was the perfect amount of time. We had a chef with us that provided hot meals, which was nice because a lot of groups had sack lunches. There were some slight miscommunications but my tour organizer Oscar was quick to clarify, and easy to get ahold of. I ended up with a different company for the actual tour but Im sure this is quite common especially for solo travelers who might be placed to fill in empty spots. Oscar put me with a reputable group. The tour guide was friendly and experienced. The only disappointment was that as I was traveling solo, I was paired with a group that was doing budget camping so each night I was separated from the group and on my own at the lodge which was a bit lonely. Overall it was a great tour, a fair price, and an excellent safari experience. I would recommend booking with Kale Voyage Expedition.

Very organized and responsive tour operator, excellent driver
I took the 5-day Safari for Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, lake Nakuru and Hell’s gate. Positive:
1) Our driver, Dennis, is an excellent professional, very friendly and knowledgeable. He did everything he could to bring us as close as possible to all the animals and was giving us enough time to take photos and observe them.
2) all the hotels/accommodation booked by the operator was of very good quality
3) Also the hikking at Hells gate was an amazing experience and the local tour guide very cool guy
Negative:
1) I think that 5-days for this trip was a bit too much. Lake Naivasha and Nakuru could easily been seen in one day, so the customer could save the expenses for the 4th night. When in Lake Nakuru and Naivasha, we arrived quite early at our hotels and it felt kind of boring at some point.
All in all, it was a great experience thanks to Dennis (out driver), I highly recommend Jocky tours, but maybe for shorter duration safari.
