Amazing safari and tour guide
My 5 stars is for 4 day Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha tour rather than the 5 day option which I did as :
From the time of booking initially, then having to change dates due to an emergency, until Moses left me in Naivasha for the 5th day, everything was perfect.
+++ great communication, very polite and caring staff (in the office, the drivers, the guide, helpers), amazing tour guide that looked after us well and made sure we saw the Big 5 and many more.
Accommodation in Mara was at Shankale Camp which was clean and welcoming - if they can fix the water pipes, this will be great campsite. Other hotels we stayed at were good - clean, good food.
I fully recommend the 4 day tour with Jocky Tours and Moses as a tour guide - very good value and great experience.
However, I did the 5 day option with visit to Hells Gate which I think can be skipped unless one wants to see the Gorge and thermal powerplant.
My recommendation is to:
- book directly through Jocky Tours on Safaribookings and do not go through agents
- verify how many people on tour with you and that it is the Jocky Tour staff taking care of you throughout the tour.
Happy safari!

An unique memory
A great trip together as family through the beautiful nature of Rwanda and Uganda. With many highlights, the gorilla family visit was one of them! The trip could not be as complete as it was if Smith was not our guide. An unique memory!!!

The operator was well organised
I recently climbed Kilimanjaro with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris, and I can't recommend them enough! The main guide, August, was exceptional—knowledgeable, supportive, and truly passionate about the mountain. He spotted all the wild animals in the rainforest at the start of Lemosho. The entire experience was well-organized, and the team made every step enjoyable. If you're looking to conquer Kilimanjaro, Zanzi Trekking and Safaris is the way to go.

Zephaniah was very flexible in customizing our itinerary to our needs.
We highly recommend our safari guide, Justin. He was thorough with our itinerary and was quick to learn what would excite my family. After we started our tour, we mostly just relaxed and enjoyed it while he took us to his targeted game drives for what he wanted to show us each day. He is extremely knowledgeable and was able to show us 80% of wildlife (animals and birds) species that Tanzania has to offer. My whole family felt like we learned a lot about wildlife, animal behavior, and patterns of how the whole ecosystem operates. We were lucky enough to be at right spot at right time to watch three cheetahs hunt and kill wildebeest.
Accommodations are decent with staff always willing to go above and beyond in making you comfortable.

Trip Uganda 🇺🇬 Rwanda 🇷🇼
What an amazing trip! The gorillas experience was super special. The tour guide Smith, the BEST in the business. He is always happy and tries to find positives in everything even if something isn’t going your way! For sure try to get him as your tour guide.

Our awesome guide cum driver Deo was the best.
The tour organizer Lillian was very responsive to our questions and very quick to resolve any concerns regarding the tour, accommodation or food.

Dedicated experts
I don't usually book anything through travel agencies. But for my Namibia trip I felt that I needed some local expertise for my tailor-made trip. I had spoken to 1-2 other agencies at first but didn't feel that they understood my needs at all or couldn't provide solutions that were accustomed to my specific needs. Then I found Viatu and Alexandra was amazing at giving me the type of insights I needed. I was very keen and willing to do a lot of self-driving each day in order to view as many spots as possible to do my photography. Everything went smoothly and all the accommodations were amazing. The TravelKey app was super helpful to keep track of the accommodations and where to head next.
Viatu feels like a modern travel agency I can highly recommend it!

Amazing operator and guide, planned a wonderful safari
The planning process was incredibly simple, they handled all of the bookings and details for us and we stayed in their recommended lodging. The lodging was beautiful, and the check in was super simple at every spot. Francis was the best driver in the park, and was very nice and very knowledgeable about all animals. He made sure we got our money's worth during the safari. The communication was always great and quick, and they made the entire safari very easy and relaxing for us.
