A Word of Caution!
My buddy and I booked a 8-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Key2Africa Safaris and while it was an unforgettable experience overall, we did have quite a few issues with the Tanzanian portion of the safari. Key2Africa partnered with another safari company for the Kenya portion of our trip (separate review already submitted) and handled the Tanzania portion themselves (that is where they are based). We were supposed to have 4 days of tours in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks, however, we were only able to successfully complete 2 of those days. The vehicle provided was in poor condition and suffered the following issues in the first 3 days: 4 separate flat tires, a dead battery and a broken clutch pump. That meant we had to spend extended time everyday looking for help to change tires, pushing the truck to get it started and a clutch pump bypass done on the street. Now, our driver/guide, Jessy, was extremely calm and patient as we went thru all of this and the Key2Africa team was extremely apologetic for all of the issues that we encountered and did offer to make things right. I know that things happen but after the Kenya portion of the trip went so amazingly, I believe that our Tanzania experience could have gone much better with a different tour company and/or vehicle. I do not dissuade anyone from booking a tour with Key2Africa Safaris, but I wanted to ensure that our experience was shared in case someone was debating whom to book their bucket list trip with.

4 WONDERFUL DAYS OF SAFARI
Through Bernardo's Agency, we met Samir and Anderson, who accompanied us on our safari. The experience was wonderful; they knew the parks well and were very patient in their search for animals. We saw four of the Big Five (lions, buffalo, leopard, and elephants), as well as hyenas, giraffes, impalas, zebras, oryx, and gazelles.
The end of the trip on Diani Beach was the perfect finale. Samir and Anderson shared many interesting facts about the animals with us (in English). Thank you!

I would recommend "good luck".
Our tour guide, Good Luck, is awesome! Since day one, we've had a great experience. He follows the rules. When there's dust, he'll close the windows and he's always ready to give us a hand. He took us to see wildebeests crossing the river four times, and we also saw the Big Five, cheetahs and a bunch of other animals. I'd recommend you guys to get Good Luck as your driver!

Easy and smooth organisation, extremely good choose of accommodations.
We had an absolutely wonderful 6-day safari through the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, and a big part of what made the experience so special was our fantastic guide, Ali.
Ali is an exceptional guide and an incredibly skilled driver. We always felt safe and comfortable with him, even on some of the more challenging roads. His knowledge of nature and wildlife was impressive. He could spot animals hidden in the bush that we would never have noticed ourselves!
Beyond his professionalism and expertise, Ali also has a great sense of humour and brought so much fun and joy to our days.
We are very grateful to Ali for making our safari such an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and skilled safari guide.
We would also highly recommend Jocky Tours as a safari provider. Organisation and communication were smooth.
I would extra highlight accommodation choose. We had a mid-range safari, and it was totally worth the money! Extremely good accommodation after the all day safari game drive is exactly what you need.

Fantastic safari with excellent guide Alex! Well‑planned trips, amazing wildlife sightings and unfor
I had an absolutely wonderful safari experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris. Our guide Alex was outstanding. He is an excellent driver who skillfully avoided heavy vehicle traffic during our game drives. Thanks to him, we witnessed breathtaking sunrise and sunset over Mount Kilimanjaro, spotted the Big Five on the African savanna, and also met many friendly people along the way. Alex was attentive and helpful throughout the whole journey. I highly recommend Alex and this tour operator to every traveller coming to Kenya!

Unforgettable emotions
We had an unforgettable 6-day safari, and we are very thankful to our incredible guide and driver Ali! From day one, his professionalism, deep knowledge of wildlife, and incredible spotting skills blew us away. We managed to find the Big Five, he knew the best routes to avoid crowds, and kept us safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. Always punctual, warm, attentive and very patient. If you're planning a safari, book with Jockey Tours — you won't regret it!

Everything you could hope for!
What an amazing experience! The Selous Safari Lodge was spectacular! Gorgeous rooms, lovely pool and great food... But the staff made it! From Maria at the front desk to all the other employees were kind, spoke English and went out of their way to make your stay. (Note they do not sell alcohol but will have it delivered 20 minutes from the nearby village if requested)
Martin and Poli made our trip one of a lifetime! They went out of their way to make sure we saw a wide variety of animals. Poli was a calm and respectful driver who would often point out animals or reposition the vehicle for a better view. Martins kind, gentle and warm laugh brought so much joy as he shared his vast knowledge of the plants and animals!

A special mention goes to Osmane, our guide, who was simply perfect. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and always attentive to our needs. His passion and expertise made the safari even more special, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
We highly recommend this organization to anyone looking for a well-organized, reliable, and memorable safari experience. Everything was beautiful, precise, and exactly as it should be. Thank you for an amazing experience!
