Amazing Budget Safari, highly recommend
The 6-day safari tour to Masai Mara, Lake Naikuru and Amboseli NP was amazing and I can highly recommend it!! Thanks to our experienced guide and driver Sir Charles, we saw countless animals: Lions, giraffes, elephants, a cheetah, a leopard, a rhino, lots of buffalo, antelope and wild boar. We had plenty of time to observe the animals and our guide told us lots of exciting facts about the animals.
As we were traveling in the rainy season, it was a great advantage to be in a 4x4 jeep. Our talented driver managed to get out of even the deepest mud! And the drives on dirt roads were a lot of fun too!
The safari was a budget safari so we knew it wouldn't be luxurious. The vehicle was not new but overall in good condition. However, my biggest criticism is that many of the seats did not have working seatbelts. As the traffic in Kenya is very dangerous, I think they should replace these to give tourists a safe ride!
Apart from the first one (which was still okay except for a totally broken mosquito net - so better bring your own), the accommodation was really great and exceeded my expectations.
The meals were all included and most of the more local dishes were really delicious! We only had to buy our own water as the one from the company ran out after a day.
In terms of optional activities during the trip, I can recommend visiting the Masai village next to the Masai Mara (20 dollars). You get an insight into their daily life and they tell you a bit about their culture. Of course, they also try to sell souvenirs. However, I cannot recommend the boat tour on Lake Naivasha as it was quite expensive (20 dollars) and not that interesting.
Overall, it was a great trip that I really enjoyed and would highly recommend if you are keen on seeing all the beautiful animals and the African savanna!!

Excellent!
We were on safari for the first time. We didn't know what to expect, but everything went perfectly! The guide named Kikitu is very cheerful and has a great sense of humor! He was attentive to every guest, gave us a lot of interesting and useful information. The guide tried to show us all the animals! We saw everyone except the rhino. I hope that next time he will show it to us! Kikitu, you're doing great!

Sir Charles was the best tour guide i could have asked for, he explained everything perfectly
They picked us and drop us out at the hotel, the place we slept in was pretty nice surrounded by nature and they gave nice food. Sir Charles managed to show us all big five and explained a lot about each of them so we could understand how the animals live.
We also visited a masai village which was really interesting. I would recommend this tour.

Exceptional Safari tour with Albert
We had a very nice safari tour. The communication was very good and clear. We saw all the big five animals and much more. Thanks to Albert our guide and driver who went out of his way to navigate us around the park. He drove us very close to animals such as lions and elephants. Once he heard there was a rhino nearby he went out of his way to spot it for us. Definitely worth the money, much recommended!

Fantastic tour company
Our guide and driver Evans was fantastic always punctual, made the journey from Nairobi to amboseli really smoothly. We stayed at Kibo for 2 nights which was amazing, the staff, the food, the views and the accomodation. Our game drives were all incredible, Evans was always able to spot and find the animals and had a lot information about them. He also knew a lot about the different species of birds. We had such an incredible time and hope to be back.

It was a very good trip. I appreciate David Kariuki Mwangi's commitment. Full professionalism. We saw the big five, a leopard in a tree and many other animals. We have a comparison because later we were on a safari that was supposed to be in Polish. It wasn't in Polish and it turned out much worse. I might add that it was much more expensive. So I recommend Jocky Tours.
