“I recently had an incredible private safari experience with Joppy Tours. Our knowledgeable guide made our game drives in the Serengeti National Park truly unforgettable, spotting wildebeest, zebras, lions, and leopards. The accommodations provided by Joppy Tours were top-notch, offering both comfort and stunning views. The visit to the Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely breathtaking, with sightings of the ‘Big Five’ and a variety of bird species. I highly recommend Joppy Tours for their professionalism and exceptional safari experience.”
