Not just a tour operator...a friend. A golden friend that you always want in your life.
Who do you trust MOST in this world.....a parent? A sibling? A best friend? Remsi quickly felt like that person in my life. Conversation prior to my trip was easy and felt like I was talking to my best friend. I was so excited for my first trip to Africa and, as opposed to it being just another trip for someone, he was just as excited for me. I never felt like he asked a million of personal questions because it always felt like i was talking with a friend but he knew what to ask to make sure our time in Tanzania was geared just to us. He chose a guide who was so perfect for us. Edwin was our guide and I wanted to make sure our guide had a good sense of humor yet was knowledgeable. Edwin was a young man who was amazingly knowledgeable about the animals in the Serengeti and was an awesome spotter/tracker. He wasn’t just a walking encyclopedia about the Serengeti and the animals but he was a part time comedian and the keeper of all our things and kept us on schedule and organized. What was important to us was just as important to Remsi and Edwin. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Afrikakukaye Safaris and Tours Ltd, Remsi and Edwin. Before I was even done with one day in the Serengeti I was already planning my next trip to Tanzania. I loved every single minute of my trip.

A great comprehension resulting in a tailor-made journey that met all our expectations.
Communication by mail and skype with Thierry was always uncomplicated. Our questions were never too much for him and if he was going to be unavailable he gave us advance notice. He fully understood the kind of safari we were hoping for, the animals we wanted to see in particular and the kind of lodgings. The journey was smooth with someone waiting for us at every stop. Nearly all our transfers from one place to the next were by light aircraft, a first and memorable experience! The lodges and camps we stayed at in Zimbabwe and in Botswana all had charm and were well integrated into their environment. We started off in Zimbabwe with a sunset cruise on the Zambezi river and a visit of Victoria Falls. Gorges lodge, where we spent one night is set on the cliffs of the Zambezi gorge, a spectacular setting. From there we were transferred to Somalisa Camp, a beautiful place in the heart of the Hwange bush, where elephants come to drink in front of the camp. From Somalisa we moved onto Kasane, Botswana where we also went on a sunset cruise on the river Chobe and a safari by the river where we spent a night in a small chalet at Kudu Lodge. Our next stop in Chobe was Savute where we stayed at the Savuti Camp, another camp beautifully set in the heart of the bush, and our final stop was at the Okavango delta where we stayed at Oddballs Camp, perhaps even more integrated into its environment where the safaries are by foot and mokoro (wooden canoe) only. Each place offered two safaries per day with friendly and competent guides who enabled us to see a big variety of faun and flora. Last, but not least, the food was delicious! Thanks Thierry, no doubt you'll be hearing from us for another African experience.

Terrible Experience
We had a 5 day safari tour with Jocky Tour. First two days were as it was on the program but when it was our 3rd day things started to change. Driver canceled our early game drive because he simply didn’t want to. When we complained he said we can discuss and never showed up (we didn’t even need to discuss because we already paid for the whole thing). We let it go for the sake of the other days because we only depend on that driver and we didn’t feel safe. Next day he wanted to keep our game drive short (it was till late afternoon from 7:30 am but he wanted to finish the game drive at 10:30 and transfer us to the other location). This time we didn’t want to let ot go and told him that we paid for this service and we want to stick to the program. He found it offensive and gave us attitude the rest of the trip. Last day we had a boat tour on the river and he said it wasn’t included and we said he should call the office he went against it first and then he called and let us to the boat ride. This is not how it should be. No one has to fight to get the value that they already paid for and plus receive bad attitude for it. If you can get the value out of the program it would be a nice budget safari tour try not to shop from the shops in Kenya they stop frequently because they are overpriced. (you can buy the same stuff im Tanzania for almost %20 of the price tags in Kenya). Overall I would go for another tour company next time for sure (with more reviews and higher ratings) and maybe pay a little more for it. Maybe thats when you don’t have to worry about if they will try to screw you somehow the next day.

The Best Safari Experience
The Gametrackers team provided us with great service and experience while planning our safari holiday. Right from the itinerary, park selections, accommodation options, timely responses, flexibility and also great Safari guide. Zack, our guide was humble, kind, experienced, careful, safe and an expert to show you the best of wildlife Kenya has to offer. I would highly recommend them to all our friends.

Budget friendly and very educational.
All round a very good company. I was kept informed of what was going on and what stages we were at with booking my trip. Mostly done through WhatsApp. My driver was a proper local and a keen birdwatcher, something I didn’t know I’d get to learn about on my 12 days. Every day on safari and in the Bush were a treat as I’d constantly be getting taught something. Accommodation provided was very fair for the price I paid and the vehicle good too. It broke down, but given the condition of the roads, I wasn’t surprised.

We had a most wonderful Safari experience...they delivered above and beyond our expectations!
Wild Portraits Safari ‘fully delivered on everything they had promised us. The accommodations were excellent and the food was very good. Our two guides James Muchina and Silva Chuwa were very knowledgeable about the local culture, wildlife and had the unique ability to determine where we might see wildlife and the best time to do so. With everyone in our group being photographers getting into the Best light andbposition was critical for us. We came away from our safari completely satisfied with the sense we had found new friends.
We can highly recommend Wild Portraits Safaris and am open to have individuals contact me via email with additional questions. We are very happy customers and if we return for another Safari there is only one company we will call...Wild Portraits Safaris!
