Excellent safari operator with a superb top class guide. Very good value.
We have just completed a totally fantastic 8-day and 7-night trip, definitely one of a lifetime with so many amazing memories to cherish for years to come. We started in Tangire NP, followed by Lake Manyara, Olduvai Gorge, Serengeti, Ndutu and Ngorongoro Crater. Our first day seriously exceeded expections as we saw large groups of wildebeast, impala, warthogs, elephant, zebra, elands, grant’s gazelle, giraffe followed by lions with cubs and more. And the birds were also numerous and colourful and our guide was knowledgeable on all the animals. We wondered if we had peaked too early but each day we saw animals in different environments and numbers. The gorge and museum was an extra and very well worth visiting to learn about the origins of hominids and homo sapiens. Serengeti is probably the jewel for vastness and numbers of animals and we added leopards, cheetahs, an enormous number of hippos, crocodiles, dik-dik, and more new birds. Stunning giraffe encounters, includimg during our walking safari. Ndutu stands out as having massive numbers of buffalo and wildebeast, including mothers with calves, and literally many thousands of zebras. Ngorongoro Crater is a very special place and we loved that as the finishing location. Black and white rhino were spotted and a herd of buffalo chasing three lions as we entered the crater was a remarkable sight. We saw two servals which completed our list of things we had hoped to see, and watched one hunting and catching a very large mouse.
The guide makes the trip as much as the animals. Tom ((Tumsifo Ayo) took us to the right spots every day so that we saw about 40 different large animal species, including crocs and ostrich, plus well over 100 birds. He was knowledgeable about all the animals and environments, as well as the landscape. We also learned a lot about local history, habitats, and cultures. We enjoyed his company a lot and spent many dinners learning about his family and life. He also knew so many other guides and was so experienced with 16 years as a guide. More than one guide told us that he was the best! All the accommodation was great but funnily enough the most fun night was at Safari Haven Tented migration camp in Ndutu, which wasn’t the most expensive, certainly had the best atmosphere. Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented camp and Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge were excellent places to stay.
All in all, highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda and our knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining guide Tumsifu.

Not professional, and the response efficiency is slow, without considering the customer's feelings.
I booked a trip for my guest from January 18th to January 24th, 2026 on November 18th, 2025. Good review:
1. The cars in Tanzania are relatively new and the drivers are also good;
It is bad:
1.our confirmed itinerary was to stay at the Fairmont Hotel for one night and at the Mara Bushtops Luxury Camp for one night. We charged accordingly, but it was very unprofessional to inform us a few days before the trip that we could not arrange Mara Bushtops for at least two nights. Why wasn't the itinerary confirmed?
2.Regarding the bush dinner, it is the same. It was informed at the last minute that there were at least four people and it lacked professionalism.
3.On the second day of the trip on March 19th, from Amboseli to Navasha, the vehicle broke down, causing a delay of at least five hours that day, and the subsequent trips were disrupted.
4.The promised open Jeep on April 20th was not arranged properly, resulting in a delay of over an hour in the afternoon's Safari due to a direct car change.
5.From May 18th to January 22nd, the tour guide service in Kenya was poor. On January 22nd, we were forced to charge $200, but this was not actually required. We have already given enough tips. And the promised refund of $200 has not been refunded.
6.From January 18th to January 22nd, the cars in Kenya were very poor and very old.
7. It should be the boss James Macharia who communicated with me. The response speed is slow, and when problems arise, it's not a sign of good service.

Jocky Tours Safari.... amazing!!
We just completed a 7 day tour of Masai Mara, Nakuru, Lake Navaisha and Amboseli. Let me begin by telling you how prompt and accommodating Jocky Tours were. From beginning to end, they answered all my questions (and there were alot!) They were accommodating to my requests and logistical arrangements that needed to be made. This is a well organized tour company.
The safari itself was amazing....Kenya will always hold a special place in my heart! The parks were exquisite and we loved all the experiences. We requested upgraded accommodations and these seriously exceeded our expectations The places we stayed were luxurious and the food was amazing.
We were travelling with others who were staying in budget accommodations and we felt a bit guilty every time we were dropped off....once even to a live sax player in the lobby! 🤣🤣🤣
Lastly, a huge shout out to our driver and tour guide Joseph. He told us his his father was a guide and he grew up in the passenger seat with his father. He knew all the back trails and was so knowledgeable about the parks and the animals. He had a wide network of colleagues that he communicated with and we were able to locate the big 5 in the first 2 days. He was able to spot animals so quickly, then maneuver the truck to give us the best view. I think the most exciting was when a mama lion and her 4 cubs jumped out of the bushes and entertained us for 30 minutes!
This was an epic adventure. Trust Jocky tours...they won't let you down!

Amazing Botswana safari!
I've had 2 safaris with Pioneer Safaris, both were incredible. We got to experience the best of Botswana's National Parks, such as Moremi, Khwai, Central Kalahari and Savuti. We stayed in spacious tents, with separate bathroom and shower tents. The staff were incredibly professional, they had everything prepared to the last detail, the food was great, and the game drives were amazing. The main driver and tour guide always went above and beyond to get us to the best sightings, and position us for the best photographic situations. Highly recommended!

Peaceful 4 day family time in Tanzania
My family adventure 2026 in Tanzania and this 4 day safari experience we will always remember.
Traveling with Agama Tours and Safaris on a budget safari, not expensive it was very affordable. We explored Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ndutu It was not only wildlife thrilling but also very beautiful in Tanzanian nature. The camps were simple but safe and comfortable enough for families, and the food was simple but filling. Our guide was patient with our questions and was good with the children, explaining the animals in a way they could understand. We returned home with stronger wildlife action memories, highly recommended KAKA our very experienced and professional driver guide.

Feisel is the best!
We absolutely loved the two days safari. It’s the perfect amount of time, and our guide, Feisel helped us see everything we wanted to see. He was very knowledgeable and diligent in making sure we saw everything we needed to. I would highly recommend him for any size group.
The booking process was very easy, and Mercy provided all of the necessary details to ensure we were booked and paid.

Punctuality and service exceeded expectations; spectacular sights made the safari unforgettable.
My safari experience with this tour operator was exceptional. From the start, their punctuality ensured a smooth journey. The experienced service in all areas—from catering to accommodation and transport—greatly exceeded my expectations.
The value for money was excellent, enhancing the overall experience. The spectacular sights during the safari, especially witnessing life and death in the Serengeti, were unforgettable.
The viewpoints showcasing the vastness of Africa were breathtaking and left a lasting impression. Overall, the tour guidance was outstanding, contributing significantly to an unforgettable adventure.

Smooth safari experience
Our guide Danford were friendly and so knowledgeable about the animals! He was so good at bringing our vehicle for a good position to see the animals. We saw hippos, giraffes, elephants, hogs, impalas, antelopes, lions!! Lunch was also nice and generous.
