He is the kindest person ever!
The tour was amazing! The food was good and the tour guide really tried to find all the animals. It is like a fun hide and seek game he always said :). We saw the sunset and the sunrise in the nationalpark. I absolutely loved ur.

Friendly, patient tour organziers with a gem of a Tour guide
We went to Kenia the first time and it was also our first safari. We booked flight and safari tour separately and nagged the tour operators with dozens of emails. They always responded quickly and we very helpful. Since the booking process is very lean and all done via email we were not sure if this was all legit, but in the end we took the risk and booked the safari with a small deposit… it seems this is how safaris are booked.
Even though the safari started a bit bumpy (our driver was about 1h late) all worked out well in the end. We were taken to the office to pay the remaining amount and as a next step brought to our tour guide Jimmy who was already waiting with some other safari guests for our group safari. We booked a 7 day safari starting from nairobi: masai mara, nakuru, amboseli, tsavo ending at our hotel on diani beach.
The accomodations were all as described in the emails and even though we booked the budget variants, the camps and lodges were all nice and much better then we expected.
Among the tour itself the highlight of the safari was definitely our tour guide Jimmy. He speaks flawlessly english, is always friendly and helpful and knows an answer for even the dumbest questions. He knows his ways around all the parks and knows a bunch of rangers, drivers and park employees which helps a lot when searching the rare animals in the parks. Within 3 days we have seen Leopards, Lions, cheetahs, Elefants, rhinos and also the common animals like zebras, impalas, etc. I suggest you take Jimmys recommendations concerning the right time for the game drive seriously. Even though getting up at 5:30 in the morning hurts sometimes, we always got compensated with beautiful sceneries ( flock of gepards right beneath the jeep, lions feasting a zebra, etc). If you are looking for a driver with several years experience, he is your man.
If you you are also planning a tour as we had, i would recommend to skip lake navaisha as the boat tour is pretty expensive… maybe the walking tour is nicer, but we did not do that due to lack of time. So far masai mara and amboseli are our favorite parks.

This was such an excellent trip! You definitely get more than your money’s worth.
I had an amazing experience. I booked the 3 day budget safari ( I keep wondering where budget came in as everything was so excellent). We had great sightings at the game drives, the accommodation was great, tasty food, big portions. Biggest props and thanks goes to our guide Kelvin who made this a trip of lifetime. HIGHLY recommend.

Highly recommend!
We went on the 4 day Masai Mara / Nakuru safari and got dropped off in Naivasha. Andrew our tour operator was very knowledgeable and worked hard to make sure we all had a great time. We stayed in Enkorok camp and Buchara Zelione and both were great: clean, good food and great pools. Jocky tours were very communicative. I was worried about the weather as March is supposed to be a shoulder month but we had fantastic weather at start of month with no rain. The trip was a lot of driving and time in car so bear that in mind when you book.

The safari was amazing, an unforgettable experience. The team were very helpful when organising the safari, and answered all our questions with very quick responses. It was very good value for money, and our guide Jonny was very reliable and absolutely made our experience. Would highly recommend this company and would book again in a heartbeat.

A great authentic experience with a lots of animals
The communication with the agency was without any issues, and they were always fast to respond.
The safari was definitely value for money! The campsite surprises us positive and it was quit cozy.
On the safari we saw a lot of wild animals like we expected, so no complaints.
The only thing that could have been better was if the guide offered a bit more information about the program of the day and more about the animals.
We will still highly recommend it.
