in one sentence: Perfect from start to end
In a nutshell: I can highly recommand this operator.
At the beginning we contacted 4 different operators.
Before Safari:
We decided for this operator because of his very well structured offer and reasonable pricing.
Mack (The big boss ;) ) answered very quick on any questions.
The tour planning was just excellent and contained everything you need.
- Airport Pick up and drop off (on all airports) - All Hotels included - 3 Meals per day - Drinks (no alcoholics) - Guide - Park entrance fees
- everything necessary - Insurance, which was quit important for me.
Also "Extras" has been no problem for Mack! (Also: GOOD JOB, man)
While Safari:
Our Guide, Edward, was really well acknowledged, spoke perfect and easy-to-understand english and told us a lot about the country, plants, animals, culture and everything we want to know about. On some evenings we shared dinner with him - he was a very nice companion. Somehow and at any time he was able to put us on the best position to watch the animals, even when there has been lots of other cars.
We saw even more animals than expected.
Tarangire- Ngorogoro crater -Serengeti is amazing and defently worth to go there (especially with Edward - GOOD JOB, man. Thank you so much!)
We saw plenty of: Elephant, Lions, Hippos, Giraffe, Hyenas, Pigs (Swain ;), Zebras, Gazelle, leopards, gepards... everything (except Rhino- no Luck)
But baby-making lions :D straight in front of the car... :D
Housing:
The first Hotel in Arusha could have been a bit more cozy - especially in comparison to other Hotels included in this tour. It´s nice from the outside, it was clean, had a nice breakfast, recommandable restaurant, friendly staff. So no reason to complain.
The second spot was just amazing. We really regret that we couldn´t stay longer.
Nice and wonderful furnished bungalow in the middle of a beautiful tropical garden.
The Overview of the mountain side from your balcony was magnicifent. It´s like an african Toscany. Just wonderful.
Dinner was tasty and the staff/Service was absolutely outstandig.
We spend 2 nights in Serengeti (Actually not planed, but very welcomed :D) in a camp.
The tents are luxury, the staff really friendly and welcoming. A few of them spoke even very good german.
Staff also came for little small talk, which I really liked.
Songs in the evening, bonfire and just a good vibes.
In the dark you are allways accompanied by a staff member, when you go to your tent. (also dangerous) animals get very close to/ in the camp.
We heard Hyenas and lots of other animals in the night. Background noises are just super :D
One morning we head gazelle straight in front of the tent.
Other morning we saw a giant pod of zebras an wildebeest like 50 to 100m passing by.
I highly recommand to stay there :)
End of Safari, we flew back to arusha by serengeti airstrip.
This was one of the extras we asked for - on problem to organise for our operator.
After Safari:
Once again we have been picked up timely. Driver allready waited for us.
Back again to the same hostel, we spend a nice afternoon there.
Mack - the manager - came over just to ask how our trip was, if everything was allright and to take care that we are happy.
Next morning we flew to zanzibar. Also this last Drop off was included, well organized and timely.
in Conclusion:
I highly and by heart recommand this tour operator in arusha.
We had a great Trip, great experience.
Thank you for everything to Mack&Edward!

Fantastic
We were able to book the Soweto and Safari Tours. Marc picked us up for the Soweto tour and we had a great time. He was a great guide and offered tons of information about South Africa and Johannesburg. The bbq was fantastic and he showed us all the hot spots. I would definitely recommend!!!
The next day we went on the Safari tour... It was amazing. The early morning and ride to the reserve were both worth it. The weather was great but I recommend bringing a jacket or sweatshirt. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, zebras, rinnos, giraffes just to name a few... All very close and great views. The guides were very informative and helpful... Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful and reliable
I had a wonderful experience going on the 4-day hike of Mount Meru with Colors Africa. I made sort of a last minute booking. Fortunately, they were able to arrange gear rentals and a crew for me. The crew including the hiking guide, the chef and two porters took great care of me. The food was excellent. The sunrise on the summit was breathtaking. On the way down, we saw giraffes, buffalos and other animas. It was so fantastic. I’d definitely hike with them again!

My best day in Africa
My three friends and I had the most amazing experience thanks to Julius. His knowledge is endless, very profesional and always one step ahead of all our needs.
We spend one day on a safari and all I can say is I can not wait to go back to Kenia and do it all over again. Thank you Julius for giving us the best day of our holiday.

Great service. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing experience with The Kruger Safari Co. Communication was very good at all times and they offered guidance and good advices. They were very flexible and arranged some changes to our planning like including the Panorama Route (which we really enjoyed!).
Upon their recommendation, we chose the option with accomodation inside the park, which was fantastic as we would see animals even at the gate of the camp site (i.e. no long drives needed to get to the park so we made the best out of our time). The tents were comfy and the food was really good.
And finally our guide was absolutely the best. Mylord was friendly, funny and very professional. He knew every corner of the park and was able to spot all animals at a glance. Everywhere we went he knew all the people around, which says a lot about him. Mylord really made our experience special. A huge thank you to him!

Wonderful Safari Tour
We have booked Jocky Tours & Safaris as it seemed the best price for the value, and it indeed fulfilled our expectations.
We have done 6 days of Safari and visited 3 locations. Each day we have seen many animals and took some amazing photos.
Our guide, Jeff, was always accomodating to our needs and wishes and is very knowledgeble about the animals and their way of living.
The accomodation at all three locations was pleasant, there was a variety of food offered for each meal.
Overall was the safari tour very enjoyable experience, I would certainly highly recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris and their guide Jeff!!!
