Over the top local tour operator
We worked out with Chris (owner of Sunup) a tailor made trip to the center & north of Kenya. With my friend we love to visit a country without the mass tourism of some places. During our 8 days trip with Sunup we went to Meru Reserve, Samburu, Naivasha lake and Hell's gate reserve. Every day was different and amazing. The guide/driver took care of us like we were family. We highly recommend this local tour operator, and honestly we prefer to book via local tour operators than large international tour operators.

Easy and responsive communication. Quality service. Amazing trip.
Gorilla trekking in Rwanda is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I could not recommend this trip more. And Daphne and her team at Hirwa made it smooth, easy, and very comfortable. Do not hesitate to use them.
Daphne made the booking process easy. She was always quick to provide options and update an itinerary based on my changing needs. There are lots of ways to do this - from high end to moderate - and she can guide you through. The trip she put me on was amazing.
Vazquez (Dani) was a terrific guide throughout my journey. Easy to talk to. Kind. Responsible. Knowledgable. Respected by his peers at the National Park as well, which opened me up to extra opportunities- like driving with our trek guide to and from the trailhead and learning even more about Rwanda and gorillas.

Great value — basic but good
Great value for money! Walter was a great guide—knowledgeable, accommodating and very funny (in a distinctly deadpan way). He literally went out of his way to help us get closer to animals like lions and hyenas.
Lenchada camp, where I stayed, is basic but clean, sufficient, and family who run it are friendly. Communication from Jocky was good, staff were always on time. Evening and morning drives are the best (more animals are active), so make the most of those. Would’ve liked one more morning drive on final morning (in total 1.5 days’ of game drives). However, this was a great experience for the price and I recommend.

Exceptional
Hello, I wanted to thank you for this exceptional safari. Everything was perfect: the guide and the chef, the food was good, the lodges were exceptional, and we were lucky enough to see many animals, including and the famous Big Five. Thank you again so much 👍👍👍

Dishonest company
Don’t book any service through this tour operator. In our experience, we felt scammed — they took our money and did not follow the agreed itinerary. Afterwards, they stopped responding and left us stranded. They kept saying ‘Hakuna Matata,’ which, in hindsight, felt misleading and dismissive.

The trip of a lifetime thanks to Mali guide
This was by far the best experience of my life!
I chose a package of 4 days and 3 nights, exploring Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Parks.
It was my first Safari but I was lucky enough to see all the big 5...you can see so many spices of animals and birds...
I spent the 1st evening inside a beutiful Lodge, the 2nd and 3rd one in a tent camp.
Despite these one were less confortable than the Lodge, falling asleep under an amazing sky and with animal sounds, and waking up with zebras all around while the sun was rising, was a touching experience that I will never forget!
A shout-out to Mali, our guide, what an incredible man! He was kind, patience and wise; ready to embrace every request we had and aswering to all our questions.
He knows these parks by memory and one thing I really appreciated is the respect that all the guides have for each others and for the animals too, making sure that we understood what were the behaviours forbidden towards the animals.
I can't wait to do it again!

Walter brought all the excitement and knowledge! He’s the best I’m thankful he was our driver!
Jocky Tours and Safari went above and beyond to make my trip truly special. My guide Walter was not only knowledgeable about the wildlife and parks but also incredibly friendly and passionate about what he does. Every stop felt thoughtfully planned, and I always felt safe and cared for. I totally recommend booking through them and if you get Walter you will have the best time!

Very good value safari
I booked 6 days in Kruger through viva safaris. Such good value. I stayed in marc’s treehouse camp. The staff were fabulous. Meals were excellent. I had a lovely cabin with a comfortable bed and good hot water. I thoroughly enjoyed our safari drives - seeing fabulous wild animsls close up.

Amazing experience
Everything was perfect! The place we stayed at was great, and our tour operator, Mr. Hasan, was very kind and knowledgeable. He welcomed us at the airport, helped us settle into the hotel, and took great care of us throughout. I highly recommend him to everyone!
