Jocky Tours was well prepared.
The safari was well prepared. We were picked up at the agreed time at our hotel on the first day and each following day the pick-up time for the next day was clearly said by the driver (who was also the guide) David Mukami, and he was always there on time to pick us up.
In the parks, David coordinated well with other people in the park to show us the animals. We saw many lions, as well as other animals.
The accomodations (tent camp) at Masai Mara were okay for a budget safari, the hotel at Nakuru was very nice.

There was clear communication and everything was planned well
The whole experience was great. The communication was clear from the beginning to the end. They indeed are a reliable operator. The accommodation was also well planned in advance.
The driver, David Mukami, who doubled down as a tour guide was great. He was well versed with Masai Mara and explained everything clearly.

Responsive
I’ve interacted with this company and I’m impressed by how professional, responsive, and knowledgeable they are about Kenyan safaris. They clearly understand destinations like the Maasai Mara and are passionate about giving clients a great experience. I would confidently recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Almost 5 star safari on a budget
I traveled solo during the low season and wanted to experience a safari in Tanzania on a budget. Joining a group was the only realistic way to make that happen. I booked the tour about five months in advance and chose mid-range accommodation.
Because travelers in my group stayed in different accommodation categories (budget, mid-range, and luxury), there was additional time spent each day picking everyone up — sometimes up to an extra hour of driving. It wasn’t ideal, but I understood it as part of a mixed-group setup, especially during the low season.
Derick handled the arrangements and was friendly and easy to communicate with. The company used vehicles and guides from another operator, which I assume is a common practice during low season to consolidate groups.
The only unpleasant aspect was that two out of six nights my accommodation was slightly downgraded without advance notice. Better communication here would have made a difference. That said, it didn’t overshadow the overall experience.
I was asked in advance about food preferences, but no special arrangements were actually made. I adjusted and simply avoided meat and chicken in the lunch and breakfast boxes, which was manageable but worth noting for travelers with stricter dietary requirements.
The safari itself was outstanding. Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire were unforgettable, and the guides, vehicles, and Serengeti lodge were genuinely five-star in terms of the overall experience.
In most lodges (except the first and last nights in Arusha), there was no internet in the rooms — only in common areas like dining or reception — something to be aware of if connectivity matters to you.
Overall, the safari experience was excellent and deeply rewarding. For a solo traveler on a budget, it delivered exactly what I came for: remarkable wildlife, strong guiding, and unforgettable days in Tanzania’s national parks

Exceptional Samburu visit (3 days games drives)
Communication with Eunice is fast and clear, which led us to right choices. She is helpful, kind and she provided different quotes depending of our budget.
The whole experience was exceptional and the guide Joseph is nice and calm. He managed to show us all the animals (except hipo) we wanted to see in Samburu even Cheetah and Leopard.
One point of criticality is that Joseph is not proactively giving color on the topics like historical context and social interaction of the animals. While he always gently answered our questions, he hadn't often raised the topic himself. Overall it was a great experience but this point ruined a bit the games.

He was a great operator, when above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed. 100% recommend Brian Ondigo.
Bonfire adventures delivered an amazing planning for both hospitality and the tour itself. I had an amazing time.

Committed
The safari experience was very good, mainly thanks to our guide Bin, who was exceptional. He was kind, caring, professional, and did his absolute best to ensure we had an amazing experience throughout the trip.
The only downside was the food, which did not meet our expectations. Improving the food quality would greatly enhance the overall experience.
