FANTASTIC
I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Jocky Tours! Coming from Australia, this was my first solo international trip. I was quite nervous but honestly I made the best decision by booking them! They were kind and very hospitable.
Before the trip, I sent countless of emails with various questions and I found that the Jockytours team responded very quickly and very professionally compared to other companies which is why I picked them.
When I landed in Kenya, I was picked up from my airbnb and taken to the Jocky tours office where I met the other travellers and our safari tour guide Kikitu. Everyone was so nice and kind which settled my nerves!
The trip was fantastic and value for money. What makes a good safari are the people you go on the safari with and having a good and knowledgeable driver. It felt like a family for the 3days. Kikitu our driver went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable. We saw 4 of the big 5 which was amazing.
I requested to stay at Empayian Luxury Camp while joining a shared vehicle when I tell you it was 'princess treatment' all around, I mean it. I really enjoyed my trip and have so many memories. I felt safe as a young female and would highly recommend you book with Jocky tours. I would also recommend you ask for Kikitu as he is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond!
This was an amazing trip and I definitely see myself coming back again soon!

Friendly, helpful and professional service
great care from pick up to drop off at the airport. The guide (James) with a great sense of humor and intuition led us so that we saw the so-called the big five and lots of other animals. His knowledge is impressive. .sunrises on the Serengeti and Ngorongoro provided amazing experiences. Musa, the chef assigned by the company, effectively made sure that the culinary experience was not worse than the aesthetic one... Amazing...

An amazing experience
Big thanks to Tarakwai for organizing a great trip I will never forget. The walking safari in the wild, seeing the animals without a shield of a car was priceless! The local guide Ahmidiwe shared his valuable knowledge about the animals, the plants and the symbiotic relationship. The trip was well organized and the connection with and support to the local community was something I appreciated. I can highly recommend Tarakwai Safaris.

Amazing! Highly recommend!

We did a 5 days, 4 nights safari to the Masai Mara and we highly recommend this Dream Africa Tours. The safari itself was just amazing. We saw all the big 5 and many more wonderful animals.
Our guide, Antony, was great. Antony always had a good attitude, arrived on time and is a very good driver (including on off-roads trips). Antony was also very respectful to the animals and obeyed to the strict rules of the Mara Conservancy.
The company was also very flexible and responsive. Our original international flight was canceled, so we missed our domestic flight to the Masai Mara. The company quickly and seamlessly arranged for us a perfect alternative flight (with no extra charge) and made sure we make it to the flight. This really saved our day.
As many other reviewers wrote, the visit to the Maasai village was super-touristic, but that’s not the fault of the company.
We stayed at the Losokwan Luxury Camp, which is perfectly located just in the middle of the Mara north. We stayed there 4 nights and in every game-drive we saw something different (so I suggest staying at least 3 nights there, and potentially even longer, time permitting).
Overall, there are so many tour operators and it’s hard to choose one company. After spending hours on reading reviews, we chose Dream Africa Tours and we had high expectations. They exceeded all the expectations (and for a reasonable price compared to other operators).

Amazing
The trip with Bamboo Ecotours was fantastic, I enjoyed every single part of it. It was super well organized. Edison answered quickly to each of my emails and explained every single thing to the max. Thank you!. The accommodation selected at each place was a spot on, clean, magical views and plenty of space. The food provided was tasty and well cooked too. I was never hungry! The landscapes were amazing as well as the people. I saw Gorillas, Chimps and Leopards, so good! The vehicle was also very comfortable. I was a solo traveler and felt comfortable the whole time.
My tour guide Godfrey was lovely and kind. He is such a good driver and has lots of knowledge about the area and the fauna of the place.
Thank you both for an amazing trip!

An operator who treated you like family from the very beginning
An absolutely incredible operator who paid attention to every little detail when it came to service, accommodation, staff, the safaris itself, and any extra requests, etc.

Truly Amazing Experience
The entire four day safari with Migration Venture Africa was an amazing experience. As soon as we met our guide, Noel, he let us know that the most important thing for him was that we felt happy about not only what we were about to do, but happy about the value we received for the dollars spent. To say he over-delivered would be an understatement. We felt well cared for the entire time and Noel made sure we saw all the animals and took the best photos - we got the Big 5!! The lodging and accommodations also exceeded expectations. Staff at both the Octagon Lodge and Tukaone Camp were inviting and welcoming and all the food was delicious (breakfast and dinner buffets were full service and packed lunches never disappointed). I would highly recommend this company to everyone visiting Tanzania, both for safari and Kilimanjaro hike.

Punctual, service minded and good value for money
The communication with Dream Africa is always very punctual and swift. The choise of accommodation is away from the crowd and with an eye on sustainability. The guides are very guest friendly and have a lot of knowledge on Kenian culture and nature. They were also very good with our kids. We have enjoyed the safari and also during our beach-stay we are very happy with all the accurate and on time transfers to and from the trainstation and airorts etc. So I can say that Dream Africa Tours makes your travels carefree with a personal touch.
