Amazing tour!
5/5

We all had a wonderful day in Pilanesberg national park. Tour was on schedule the whole day and we were well taken care off.

On the safari itself we saw four of the big five and we where also lucky enough to see a pack of lions on a hunt.
Solemon our driver was really good with tons of knowledge and humour.

Would definitely recommend!

A perfect travel service provider
5/5

I recently had an amazing trip that I'd highly recommend. The communication was excellent, with clear updates and helpful information throughout.

The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel welcome and well taken care of.

Everything was well-organized, and all the promises were kept.

Overall, the tour itself was fantastic, with beautiful sights and fun experiences. I couldn't be happier with the entire journey

the company is pleasant to communicate with and responsible in fulfilling its promises
5/5

I booked a safari excursion from my country. The company answered all my questions right away and I sent a deposit to reserve plane tickets because the hotel was in Zanzibar. As we had agreed, a driver came for us in the morning and took us to the airport where we were taken to the plane. Everything was on time and the road to the airport was pleasant. Then we flew on a small plane straight to the park where we immediately transferred to jeeps. The excursion lasted the whole day. The jeep was very comfortable. The guide was very nice and told us a lot about the animals. We got a lot of positive emotions, it was an amazing excursion.

A brilliant experience
5/5

Really good experience for 1st time seeing these animals really up close. The driver knew a lot of information and the animals and any questions asked he always had an answer for. We got pickup and drop off in Randburg that is good to those that don’t have a car or would rather not drive that is good. In all was a good day out.

Absolutely blown away with this trip! Jackson made our time memorable and is a recommend 100%
5/5

Going on a safari was high on my wife’s bucket list, and while I love to travel, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. She found Jackson online, and he offered to hop on a video call to answer any questions we had. He was thorough in asking us the right questions to understand what we were hoping to get out of the trip, ensuring he could tailor the experience to our needs. As a photographer, I decided to book a private tour with Jackson, which ended up being more valuable than we initially realized. The flexibility it provided allowed me to take the time I needed to get the perfect shot and linger in spots that caught my interest.

One of the standout qualities of Jackson as a guide is his deep connection to the region—he grew up as a Maasai, which gave him an extraordinary knowledge of the parks, animal behaviors, and the best spots to find wildlife. We focused on tracking big cats and the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River, and Jackson's expertise was invaluable. Having been a guide since 2008, he’s known by everyone—other guides, park rangers, and even the hotel staff. During our drives, he would frequently help less experienced guides over the radio, demonstrating his leadership and generosity in sharing knowledge. I was also amazed at how he could identify animals and birds nearly 100% of the time when I asked.

As for accommodations, my wife and I were very pleased with the mid-level package we chose, which included a mix of permanent and portable tented camps, as well as a few nice hotels. The food was fantastic, especially the lunches Jackson prepared for us. Unlike the usual box lunches, we had hot meals served with tablecloths and real silverware—an unexpected and wonderful touch! I really appreciated the fact that Jackson worked with our budget and accommodated accordingly.

Jackson and his staff were on time when picking us up from the airport. Towards the end of our trip, our flight was delayed a number of hours and Jackson made sure we got the most for our money in that he was able to stay out a little longer instead of us waiting all day at the airport.

All in all, this trip far exceeded my expectations. I captured amazing photos, made unforgettable memories, and had an incredible time. My wife and I are already planning our next safari!

5/5

I had an amazing experience with this company. From start to finish, everything was so well organized, and the team really went above and beyond to make sure my trip was smooth and enjoyable. The guides were all fantastic, super knowledgeable and passionate, which made every game drive exciting and informative. The accommodations were comfortable and in great locations, with stunning views that made it feel like you were right in the middle of the action. I also loved how they focus on sustainability and supporting local communities it added so much meaning to the trip. If you’re looking for a memorable safari, I’d definitely recommend them!

5/5

Our recent 5-day private safari through Kenya’s Amboseli, Tsavo East, and Tsavo West National Parks was nothing short of spectacular. Despite traveling during the rainy season, our experience far exceeded expectations, thanks to the excellent planning, diverse wildlife encounters, and the unparalleled expertise of our guide, Joeffrey.

Our safari concluded with a scenic drive to Diani Beach, where the turquoise waters and pristine white sands provided the perfect ending to an action-packed adventure. The transition from Kenya’s wild landscapes to the serene coastline was seamless, and we truly appreciated the opportunity to unwind after days of thrilling game drives.

Joeffrey played a pivotal role in making this safari unforgettable. His patience, professionalism, and enthusiasm for wildlife were unmatched. Whether it was maneuvering through challenging roads, sharing in our excitement during wildlife sightings, or answering our endless questions about Kenya’s ecosystems, he went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience.

Traveling during the rainy season added a unique twist to the safari. While some roads were muddy and required extra effort, the vibrant landscapes and plentiful wildlife were worth it. Seeing four of the Big Five and even cheetahs was an incredible accomplishment, especially given the seasonal challenges.

Ending the tour at Diani Beach was a stroke of genius. The chance to relax by the ocean after days of adventure perfectly balanced the trip, leaving us refreshed and fulfilled.

For anyone considering a safari in Kenya, I wholeheartedly recommend this itinerary. Amboseli, Tsavo East, and Tsavo West offer diverse landscapes, abundant wildlife, and unforgettable moments. Pairing the safari with a beach retreat in Diani is a brilliant way to experience the b

About: Kenya
a beginners guide to east africa
Overall rating
5/5

from the masai mara to amboseli, the south of kenya is a wildlife enthusiasts heaven. i had never been to east africa before and this was my first trip into the dark continent. i realised very quickly it was'nt going to be a matter of just buy a plane ticket, book a nairobi hotel and lob up. it would require a little more planning if i wanted to maximise my limited time there. so with this in mind i searched through lots of advertised safaris looking for the best balance to suit my needs. i came up with two separate safaris with two different safari companies, the first being masai mara which i chose to fly in and out of rather than waste the best part of two days driving in and out, also i was intrigued to be flying over the great rift valley and received an expansive view of the same so this turned out to be a great decision and while costing a little more meant that when i was collected from the airstrip inside the reserve the drive to the hotel/camp was effectively a game drive in itself. i then chose the drive in and out option for my second safari which was to amboseli as it is closer to nairobi and i wanted to experience the journey through the kenyan countryside as well as the nature reserves. while the many animals you will encounter are similar in both parks the habitats are vastly different, adding a dimension of flavour to my experience which i was not expecting, the masai mara is large open savanah while amboseli is mainly a large wetland being fed from the snows of kilimanjaro. both destinations displayed their unique charms gloriously. i did not deliberately choose to use use two different tour companies but as i had decided to do two separate safaris i researched them individually and i am happy to report that both tour providers were exemplary in both communication and organisation earning multiple five star reviews each. if you are a newbe to africa and looking for a safari then i can recommend kenya as a very well organised and hospitable destination for this activity.
