Jocky's strength is in their Safari and Guides!
Our overall Kenya Safari experience was a huge treat. The wildlife, the stories, the history, the people, culture all a hit.
A big shoutout to our Safari Guide Andrew/ Kamao! What a storyteller! While the safaris were rewarding intself the stories brought to life scientific facts, local lores, histories and myths. Kamao clearly loves the Safari and is not dropping a chance to keep the adventure at an all time high for his guests. A total fun person with a natural gift to connect to people.
Some areas which we felt could use improvements are accomodation, variety in local food, a better sense of organisation and transperancy.
Accomodation in Mara was very basic, could definitely be better in terms of food and hygiene. Naivasha too,they could consider options as there are many stays with better facilities.
Also as a tour company keeping guests posted on what to expect in terms of weather, what to pack, providing stay options,better communication and organisation can help Jocky up their services.

Wonderful safari but do not recommend
Do not recommend.
Good: Wonderful safari with skilled wildlife driver. We enjoyed what we would like to see, great river crossing, big 5 animals, etc.
Bad: 1. Office response is not speedy after we paid the balance.
2. The unacceptable thing is the office changed our camp without any information. Even I pushed them to provide the details and explanation, they still not tell me the new camp’s name. Please image you will be taken to an unknown place at wildlife park, what do you think?!

Best experience of our lives with perfect tour operator - Big 5 and more!
We have dreamed about visiting Tanzania for a long time, and we choose Meru Slopes for our Private 8-day tour because of the good reviews that we had read online.
We are very happy with our choice, the trip couldn't be better!!
We started our safari in Lake Manyara NP, where we were able to spot a lot of wildlife (baboons, giraffes, elephants, lions and much more).
Then we continued with Serengeti NP, were we spotted hundreds of animals, inluding a close look to the Big Cats (lions, leopards, cheetas).
At Serengeti we were also able to see the Great Migration, a marvel of nature, including witnessing the famous crossing of river Mara.
Then we proceeded to Ngorongoro Crater, where we saw all the Big 5 in a span of minutes (including 5 Black Rhinos).
The last park that we visited is Tarangire NP, the paradise of elephants and baobab trees.
At the end of the trip we came home with hundreds of photos and videos (including stunning scenes like lioness hunting and river crossing), a lot of touching memories and the desire to come back again.
The trip was very well organized, rooms were comfortable and food was delicious. All the staff was very friendly and welcoming.
A special thanks goes to our driver and safari guide Omari, extremely expert in animals and also a very good company for the trip.
The way he was able to spot all animals was magical.
Also thanks to Almachius for assisting us with all our questions before the trip, with kindness and professionality.
We highly reccomend this trip and tour operator for unforgettable memories, and will sure come back as soon as we can!

Phenomenal trip with all the animal sightings we had hoped for and more
We went with Safari Soles in August 2026. Our driver was Fadhil, and we had a 5.5 day safari, with 1.5 days in northern serengeti, 2 in central serengeti, 1 in ngorongoro crater, and 1 day in tarangire.
Fadhil was the most amazing guide. He was so good at finding animals, always positioned the car perfectly for amazing views and pictures (even when tons of safari cars were also in the way), was very knowledgable about the park and the animals, and was a very kind-hearted individual. When we return to Tanzania, I hope to have him as my guide again.
Safari Soles was a great tour company - when planning our trip, they were very accommodating in creating our custom trip; once we landed in Tanzania, they handled everything from airport to airport; any small issues we faced on the way, they were immediately responsive, considerate, and accommodating.
Overall, we had a 10/10 experience, largerly in part to Fadhil. We would use Fadhil and Safari Soles again and highly recommend to all.

Everything goes well.
The entire Kenya‑Tanzania safari circuit went very smoothly overall. The only setback was two issues with hotel bookings while in Kenya; there were no such hotel‑related problems during our time in Tanzania. Both our drivers‑guides were highly professional, making this a pleasant experience on the whole.

The overall safari trip is fantastic. Peter is a professional and friendly tour guide. He took us to see a number of fabulous wildlife like lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos and so much more. Besides, he knows the route in every national park and sightseeing spots. Also, he has a good view when safari as he can always find animals we could not find. Without him, we may see much less animals. He is also knowledgeable and prepared since he could recognize every animal we met and explained everything about it, such as its habituation, what it fed on and so on. It is so confident and safe to have him as our tour guide. The Land Cruiser vehicle he drives is also outstanding. It has a strong performance and can bring us to anywhere despite the various bad road conditions. Moreover, hotels we lived are all very comfortable and quaint.

Very professional, great experience
Carolyn has been incredibly helpful throughout the whole time; and our guide Eric is very professional, can quickly help us locate animals. Pallid is a great tour company that not only helped us with our booking (we booked one week before the trip), but also quickly adjusted with our sudden change of plan. We had a great time and will definitely come back for more.
