First and unforgettable safari in Tanzania — dik-diks in love, bird picnics and the cutest animals!
My first safari with Goldfinch Adventures was absolutely unforgettable. They organized everything from A to Z — flights, tickets, transfers, and stunning lodges with pools where we woke up to delicious breakfasts. But the real magic happened outdoors: our breakfasts and lunches were served in the heart of nature, surrounded by birds, with breathtaking views of the national parks. We got incredibly close to so many animals — lions, elephants, giraffes and more — that we truly felt like the luckiest people alive. Our guide shared fascinating and funny facts about every single animal we encountered. The adorable dik-diks stole our hearts — these tiny creatures that always come in pairs, like a real love story in the wild. On our last day in Arusha, before the flight home, we explored the vibrant city markets and soaked in the local culture. Goldfinch Adventures delivered perfect service, reliable communication, and outstanding value. If you're dreaming of Tanzania — just go, and let them handle the rest!

Amazing Safari experience
An absolute stunning life experience Everything was perfectly organised, from the incredibly comfortable lodges to the delicious food. A massive shout out to our guide, Dickson, with eagle eyes spotted animals we would have completely missed, and his deep knowledge of the bush made every single game drive educational and thrilling. Highly recommend this exact circuit for anyone looking to experience the magic of Tanzania.
Arusha: a special thanks to Eric from whom we learn about the local culture before heading into the bush with Dickson
Tarangire National Park:
Kicked off our safaris with towering baobab trees and breathtaking numbers of elephants. Watching the giraffes up close was magical and Maasai village visit offered a deeply memorable window into traditional pastoralist culture and community life before, heading out into the wilderness again.
The Serengeti:
Pure magic. The sheer scale of the endless plains is mind-blowing. We witnessed the Lions, leopards, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas and more and got so close to the wildlife it felt like we could touch them.
Ngorongoro Crater: Descending into the crater was like entering a lost world. The landscape is stunning, and the density of animals is unlike anywhere else on earth.
Our safari reconnected us with raw nature and left us with an unforgettable awe for the wild.

Amazing memories were really made!
Everything was well planned! We didnt have to worry about anything! Our guide James was amazing, his driving and animals spotting skills were on point! He really tried his best (and succeeded) to help us see every animal we wanted to see while respecting them. It was an amazing experience for us.

Jocky tours and Faru is the best guide
An Unforgettable Journey: A 5-Star Safari Experience with our tour operator JOCKY TOURS AND SAFARIS
Our recent safari was, without a doubt, a trip of a lifetime, and it's all thanks to the incredible team who offered authentically a "FULL PACKAGE ADVENTURE" and especially our guide, FRANCIS FARU. From the moment He picked us up at the airport, the deep briefing he did about how the safari would be like in the 7 days and the way we started the tour, every detail was meticulously handled, and every expectation was not just met, but exceeded. This tour deserves every one of its five stars.
The lodges were very good, especially the ashnil mara camp , The logistics were flawless, and the entire trip well organized, allowing us to enjoy the adventure.
I would like to highlight overall however, the experience with our guide Francis
Francis didn't just drive us around; he is an educator, a storyteller, a singer ( taught us so many songs) and a master tracker all whilst driving. He has an unbelievable ability to spot animals that we would have certainly missed, from rhinos in a ditch surrounded with long grass to a lion hundreds of meters away.
Francis keen eye and deep understanding of animal behavior led us to incredible sightings.
He was patient, answering our endless questions with a smile, and he always made sure we were in the perfect position for good photos since we were photographers. His
genuine love for the wildlife and dedication to our experience was evident in every single game drive.
If you're looking for an unforgettable safari adventure, I cannot recommend this tour and specifically our guide, Francis highly enough. He is a true professional and a fantastic person who will make your journey into the wild a truly magical and memorable one. And for Moureen and the entire Jocky fraternity, keep up the good work… kudos

Amazing experience and Faru was such a wonderful guide!
I recently returned from a 6 nights, 7 days safari in the Masai Mara organized by Jocky Tours and Safaris and I honestly still cannot stop talking about the experience. From the moment we booked the trip, the communication and planning were smooth and professional. Every question we had was answered on time and the itinerary was very well organized. Once we arrived, everything was exactly as promised and even better than we expected.
The safari itself was breathtaking. Spending seven days in the Masai Mara gave us enough time to fully enjoy the beauty of nature, wildlife, and the peaceful environment without feeling rushed. Every single game drive felt unique and exciting. We saw lions relaxing under trees, elephants crossing the roads just a few meters away, cheetahs hunting, giraffes feeding peacefully, and countless zebras . Every sunrise and sunset in the Mara looked like something out of a movie.
One thing that truly elevated the entire experience was the accommodation. We stayed at Sarova Mara Game Camp and Ashnil Mara Camp and both places were absolutely luxurious. The rooms and tents were spacious, elegant, and extremely comfortable. Everything was clean, beautifully decorated, and designed in a way that still made you feel connected to nature. Waking up early in the morning to birds singing and sometimes hearing distant animal sounds was such an unforgettable experience.
The food at both camps was excellent with a wide variety of meals every day. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. After long game drives, returning to such comfort and hospitality made the experience even more special. The ambiance at night around the camp was peaceful and relaxing, and it truly felt like a luxury escape in the middle of the wild.
A very special thank you goes to our guide, Francis Faru. Faru was honestly one of the best guides I have ever met. His knowledge about wildlife, animal behavior, and the Masai Mara ecosystem was impressive. He was very patient, friendly, funny, and professional throughout the entire trip. What amazed us most was his ability to spot animals from very far away and position the vehicle perfectly for the best viewing and photos. Because of him, we managed to see the Big Five and many unforgettable wildlife moments.
Faru also made the safari educational and fun at the same time. He shared interesting facts during every drive and always ensured everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. His passion for what he does clearly shows, and it made a huge difference in our experience.
This safari was more than just a holiday for me — it was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure filled with beautiful memories. I highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organized luxury safari experience in Kenya. Thank you again to the entire team, Jocky tours ,Sarova Mara , Ashnil camp Mara and especially Moureen and Francis Faru for making this trip unforgettable. 🙏
