Giving us the most amazing experience during Safari
We have seen many wonderful events during Safari. And we can communicate with our guide to solve problems easily. The most of our accommodations are perfect but some are just so so because of the limited expense maybe.

Checked off the Top of my Bucket List
Thank you, Serengeti Clarity, for a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our trip truly wouldn’t have been the same without our guide, Chalamila.
From the moment we met him, he told us that he doesn’t listen to or talk on the radio and instead goes with what he is feeling, which we really appreciated. Visiting during Tanzania’s high dry season, we were mentally prepared for the big crowds, but we were pleasantly surprised by how many unique and special moments we were able to experience all to ourselves.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, and so much more! Of course, we were especially looking forward to seeing the Great Wildebeest Migration, but in addition to that, we unexpectedly witnessed an elephant herd crossing a river, and even a lion making a kill during a wildebeest river crossing!
It’s truly special how much your experience can change depending on the season you visit, but even visits on the same day can be completely different depending on your guide. We witnessed firsthand how some guides around us, who didn’t have as much experience reading animal behavior, sometimes disrupted special moments by trying to get as close as possible for a quick photo. We also saw others stranded because they didn’t know how to use a jack to change a tire.
Chalamila, on the other hand, has extensive knowledge of animals, Land Rovers, people, and the vast Serengeti National Park. He carries a map of the entire park in his mind! The roads can be treacherous, with dust, steep hills, and even deep puddles, but we always felt completely safe with the way Chalamila drove.
With years of experience, he was able to answer every question we threw at him. After seven days together, we felt like toddlers asking questions all day long, but he was always so patient and kind with us.
The only things I was bummed about were that the fridge wasn’t really working, so our beers were warm, and the side where I liked to sit didn’t have a handle. Minor things that have probably already been fixed by now!
But everything else, the attention to detail, logistics, food, and accommodations were amazing. I always looked forward to our lunches, and after having to eat a boxed cold lunch on our Kilimanjaro day, I can confidently say that the warm lunches are far superior!
We feel incredibly blessed that we got so lucky choosing Serengeti Clarity and being paired with Chalamila. I truly don’t think you could go wrong with anyone on their team.

The tour operator is very good.
I joined a the tour last minute and there were no problems. The tour guide, David, was very friendly and was doing his best to make the us confortable and see a lot of different animals. He knows a lot about the wildlife. The best part of the tour was Maasai Mara.

Five Unforgettable Days in Kenya
Our safari with Jocky Tours was a truly memorable experience. David was an excellent guide and driver: knowledgeable, reliable, attentive, and passionate about his work. He took us to beautiful places and helped us enjoy some incredible wildlife sightings.
The entire itinerary was interesting and varied, from the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru to the boat ride on Lake Naivasha and the Maasai village visit. A small issue with our final hotel booking was handled quickly and professionally by the agency.
Many thanks to David and the Jocky Tours team. We would gladly choose them again!

An Amazing Safari with David
We had a fantastic five-day safari through the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. David Mnyama was a wonderful guide: professional, punctual, friendly, and always smiling.
Thanks to his experience and remarkable ability to spot wildlife, we saw many animals from very close by and learned a great deal about them. We also loved visiting the Maasai village and taking the boat trip on Lake Naivasha.
Everything was well organized, and Jocky Tours was always quick and helpful in responding to our messages. We felt safe and well looked after throughout the journey. Highly recommended!

A truly magical and unforgettable experience
This safari was honestly one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Even now, just thinking about it makes me emotional. It was absolutely magical from beginning to end.
Everything was so well organized and we felt taken care of throughout the entire experience. A very special thank you to Meshaki, who accompanied us during our safari. He was wonderful, kind, attentive and helped make this adventure even more unforgettable.
Being in Nyerere, surrounded by such incredible wildlife and landscapes, felt almost unreal. There are moments from this safari that I know I will remember for the rest of my life.
It is difficult to put into words how special this experience was. We came for a safari and left with memories that will stay with us forever.
Thank you to the entire Lekobe Adventures team for giving us such a beautiful experience. I would recommend them without hesitation. ❤️

Welcoming
Jasmine and Jason were great tour operator and guides. They were both very welcoming and even gave us gifts upon our arrival. The price for the safari was affordable to us and we had no complaints. We saw the big 5 animals and so much more! Would recommend to anyone!

Great Safari at Reasonable Price
When my friend and I were choosing a safari operator, we were skeptical to see only glowing reviews of Top Selected. Based on our outstanding experience, I can say that all the great reviews are deserved. We did a 7-day itinerary with Top Selected: 1 day visiting Materuni Falls and a coffee farm, 1 day hiking (up to the first camp of Mount Kilimanjaro and back), and 5 days on safari. The 5 days of safari covered Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti, including the Mara River (where we went to see the herds cross the Mara River as part of the Great Migration). Between Emmanuel's expert guiding and our good luck, we got to see everything we could have possibly hoped to see on safari. That even included seeing a herd of hundreds of wildebeests and zebras crossing the Mara River. We also got leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, lions, elephants, and more coming right up to the car.
Beyond the animals and natural landscapes that we got to see, Top Selected was a great operator. In addition to being an expert guide, Emmanuel is a kind person and fantastic company, so spending 5 days with him was fun. Jackson checked in regularly to see how our experience was. The camps and hotels where we stayed were very comfortable and not overly crowded. The team was communicative and easy to reach, both before and during our trip.
Overall, everything went smoothly, which made it easy to enjoy our safari experience. Top Selected is a great choice of operator that offers safaris at a very fair value, and I think they'd be great for any size of group, including solo travelers. I can't say enough good things about the company and, since I got home, I've been recommending it to all of my friends and colleagues who are considering going on safari.

Amazing creativity and attention to detail made our time in Namibia so wonderful
We had a wonderful experience in Namibia and a huge component was Tokkie’s thoughtful approach to tailoring our bookings to our interests. She is amazing! Terrific value! Her customer service was outstanding. Highly recommend engaging her to put your adventure together!!!
