Very good tour to see the wildlife in Mikumi Nat. Park
The communication with the manager and guide was fluid and perfect before and during the tour. The service very good, the guide has a huge experience and everything was very good. I had to change my schedule just the days before, for reason of my work, and they solved everything very quick, so the tour was a success. I had very little time after my work in Tanzania but they made the best of that time; in the Mikumi we watched many giraffes, elephants, the hippos at the pool, gazelles, wildebeest, etc. I stayed in the little houses/cottages of the Nat. Park and it was good for me to see some wildlife in the night and in the early morning.

Nice experience
We had a really good time visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
Our camps were super nice and varied.
Our driver adapted the programme to our wishes, but almost forgot Lake Manyara...
We would have appreciated if he spoke French.

Unforgettable safari experience with Jocky Tours
We went on a 10-day safari in Kenya and we are extremely satisfied with Jocky Tours. We had absolutely no problems starting from the initial emails to Minneh to the drop off at the airport at the end of the trip. Minneh is very friendly and responsive. We never had to wait for more than a day to hear a reply from her. The overall cost of the safari was very reasonable even though we had a customized itinerary. We had our own private safari vehicle and John, our driver cum guide was beyond excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the national parks and the animals and we had a number of excellent sightings of the big five. Our accommodations at Amboseli (Kibo safari camp) was excellent and a nice end to the safari.
If there was one thing that could have been better, it would be the accommodations at Masai Mara and Nakuru. We were in a camp at Masai Mara and in a regular hotel in Nakuru city. Both these places were clean and comfortable but it could have been better. One suggestion to Jocky Tours would be that they should offer the customer the option of staying at slightly more expensive campsites/lodges and then let the customer decide if they want to pay more or not.
But overall the entire experience was wonderful and I would definitely recommend Jocky Tours!

Fantastic moment
We spent 4 days in Madikwe, staying at Tau Game Lodge. The safaris were fantastic, with a lot of wild life (all the expected ones except the wild dogs). Tau Lodge is also very nice with its pond in front of the rooms where the animals were coming all day long to drink and play (elephants - a lot, lions, girafes, ....)

Review about Tarangire National Park by Lynne
We enjoyed all the wildlife and scenery of this park. It's also not as busy with tourists in jeeps. Animals are comfortable being close so it's great for watching their behavior and photographing.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Lynne
I had heard there was so much wildlife congregated in the crater but felt I saw more in other parks. Maybe it was the time of year, as we visited in the winter.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Lynne
Much wildlife was seen in this park as well as many birds. Not real crowded with other tourists.

Cape Town to Vic Falls (Accommodated)
My partner and I did the 20 day Cape Town to Vic Falls trip and were very happy with the overall experience. We made enquiries with a number of companies, but Gelle at go2africa was by far the most helpful and responsive. In addition, after we booked she answered a myriad of our random questions with speed and expert advice.
The trip itself was wonderful, our group only consisted of 8 people so we had lots of space in the truck and our tour leader (Shadwell) and cooks (Saima and Norman) were really kind, informative and professional. The range of accommodation was dependent on the varying places we visited, however, it was always very clean and well maintained.
The highlights of the trip for us were Okavango Delta, Chobe national park, Dune 45, Deadvlei, desert walk, night game viewing at Etosha national park and Fish River Canyon.
We would strongly recommend anyone to do this tour, as it is an amazing experience.

Review about Matobo National Park by ernst schade
Matabo is a great destination, scenic wise. We stayed at the Shumba Shaba Lodge in a spectacular setting.
Affordable safari, comfortable accommodations and we saw a lion up close!
Our tour guide, Tony, was very kind. He answered our questions as we drove to the national park and throughout the safari. His English was fine; we did need to repeat questions and did not always understand him. We would have liked him to share a little more information with us on his own (without us asking). We always felt safe with Tony driving.
The hotel accommodations were very comfortable - better than I expected for the low price we paid for the safari. It was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful and we had all the amenities we needed.
We saw wildebeest, elephants, giraffes, baboons, hippos, impalas, zebras and several other animals on the safari. Our highlight was seeing a lion from 10 meters away. Tony always made sure we were ready to move on before driving away from an animal.
Kanuth was timely in responding to our emails and questions. We were very happy with the low price for the 2-day safari.
