It was a wonderful and enjoyable safari tour!
There were many tour options available, so we were able to choose a plan that suited us. During the safari, we saw many different kinds of animals, which was an amazing and memorable experience.
We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the whole tour!

Perfect
This was the most reasonably priced option we found. However, that doesn't mean the quality was low; it was a fulfilling trip. We were happy that there was hot water at the accommodation. It would have been perfect if the lunch box had been tastier.

very good
We were very satisfied with our safari experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris. The communication was smooth, and the service was reliable throughout the tour. The highlight was seeing predators hunting in the wild—it was incredibly dynamic and exciting to watch.
We were also able to see all the animals we had hoped for, including giraffes, elephants, zebras, lions, hippos, and crocodiles. It was an unforgettable experience and great value for money. We would definitely recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris to other travelers looking for an exciting and memorable safari experience.

5 stars
We had an absolutely fantastic three-day safari experience in Kenya. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and a special mention has to go to our guides, Simon, David and Joshua, who did an outstanding job.
They were excellent throughout the safari tours — knowledgeable, professional and always making sure we had the best possible experience and opportunities to see the wildlife. But what impressed us just as much was their support and attention throughout the entire trip. They were always available, helpful and genuinely committed to making sure everything went smoothly and that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.
Travelling as a family, this level of care made a real difference and allowed us to simply relax and enjoy this unforgettable experience. Five stars!

Excellent wildlife access and a standout guide
We added this safari to our honeymoon late, and I Artist Adventures pulled it together on short notice and landed us in the northern Serengeti just as the Great Migration was moving through. We flew in directly from Zanzibar and split four days between the northern Serengeti (two days), the central Serengeti (one day), and Ngorongoro Crater (half day). We saw the migration and all of the big five.
Planning was easy. Maria, our coordinator, ran communication over WhatsApp and answered quickly and warmly throughout booking. That responsiveness carried onto the ground: when beer we had discussed in advance was not stocked on our first day, she had it fixed by the next, though it did take a drive into town to sort out.
Our driver and guide, Jimmy, was the highlight. He knew how to put us in position, asserting himself at a sighting so we had a clear line rather than a view of someone else's roof rack, and he worked the radio network with other drivers to track down what we specifically asked to see. He dropped everything to get us to a mother cheetah with five cubs. That is the kind of thing that makes a safari. Where he was lighter was interpretation - strong on finding animals, less so on telling us much about them once we were parked.
My one real piece of advice is to nail down specifics before you sign, because a few things in the proposal ran ahead of what actually showed up. The lodging we originally picked turned out to be both unavailable for our dates and priced optimistically, so we chose from a set of alternatives - fine on price and well within our budget, but a step behind what we thought we were getting. The Land Cruiser was noticeably older and more rickety than the vehicles around us, and the A/C we were told to expect between game drives was not there.
A smaller note on the first afternoon. Our flight ran three hours late, which is nobody's fault, and we asked to keep lunch quick so we could get into the park. A full sit-down setup went ahead anyway, and the sundowner that followed was a flat spot with no real sense of where we were or why we were there. My wife is vegan, and her meals were handled without fuss, just without much flavor.
We would book with them again, with an upgraded vehicle and the lodging confirmed before we commit. The thing we came for was excellent, and Jimmy is a large part of why.

Very good safari with some organisational hiccups
The safari tour itself was, generally speaking, very good. We could see a lot of animals and most of all, we could see the wildebeast crossing the Mara river. The guide and driver was very knowledgeable and fun. He could have provided proactively more information on animals and nature. In some occasions, he was not very consistent pressuring us to be fast taking pictures or not stopping for animals in order to see more / better animals later that day, and the next hour, he would stop for more than an hour to help another car having a brake down... At the Mara river, we didn t have a very good sight spot as all other drivers were faster and rushed to the best spots close to the shore. Apparently our driver didn t want to get fined for being too close to the shore. Logistically speaking, it went mostly well as the safari jeep was very good and we didn t have any technical issues. The tour, unfortunately, didn t start very well as the airport pick up was late (flat tire) and then wanted to drop us up at the wrong hotel (realized that 5min before arriving at the wrong hotel). For 3 out of the 8 nights, the reservation was for a double bed instead of twin beds as requested when booking the tour (issue was solved with hotels on the same evening).

Mixed Experiences
It was mixed experiences with African nut safari.
Good things : Booking experience was superb. She guided and suggested everything what we need and planned with us accordingly.
Our Naivasha and Mombasa experience were as per planned too. We did book boat tour and cresent island tour in naivasha and mombasa we booked hotel transfers with additional requests which full filled properly
Nairobi picnic lunch was also good
Bad things: which almost ruined our safari in lake Nakuru was the van and driver provided for safari, that was way below the expectations. Even they asked more money at the last moment for safari and transfers which costed us to drop visit of equator point which we booked initially even after adding a topup amount, thats what the lowest point of our 10 days safari in kenya.
Otherwise overall good.
Absolutely fantastic
What a fantastic safari. Our tour guide Sharif was very knowledgeable and was so helpful. He was brilliant in spotting animals on our safari game drives. Very accommodating would not hesitate to book a safari through this company.
Highly recommend.

Highly Recommend Booking with Ozon Light Tours
Deus is great to work with! He’s literally available around the clock and has mastered the craft of great customer service. I came to Ozon Light Tours after nearly getting scammed by another agency. He was able to get all of my preferred accommodations booked in the high season.
The safari itself was amazing!! We had the pleasure of having Innocent and Godlisten as our tour guides. Innocent absolutely loves his job. He matched our excitement when we found hard to spot animals. We were able to see the Big Five because of his navigation!! Innocent is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate—you can literally ask him anything. Godlisten was also a huge help on the trip and worked quickly with Innocent to navigate issues. He’s also full of fun facts about birds!
Overall, this team went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely honeymoon and communicated with all of our hotels to ensure top notch hospitality.
My only critique is for the itinerary. We booked an Ultra Luxury trip, but I wouldn’t say it was ‘ultra luxurious’. Time is the biggest luxury, and I felt like we did not utilize time well. I came to Deus with accommodation preferences, but I wish he suggested alternatives. The first hotel we stayed at was nearly two hours in the opposite direction from Ngorongoro, which we needed to drive through to get to the Serengeti the next day. We should have stayed in a hotel either close to or in Ngorongoro. Alternatively, we found out that there was an airport in the Serengeti but we flew into Arusha. Arusha is 3-4 hours from Ngorongoro. When I asked why the other airport wasn’t an option proposed, Deus stated cost. If I booked an ultra luxury trip and I’m staying at The Four Seasons, an additional few hundred dollars is a drop in the bucket. We also came during the migration of the wildebeest. That’s a phenomenon that we didn’t get to experience because we weren’t told nor given the option to add on an additional day to go out west to see it. When I asked to change our itinerary to see it, I was told that it was too far and needed accommodation out there. The Four Seasons offered same day tours out west. The possibility was there.
Depending on the season you decide to book, do research and give explicit feedback on the itinerary that they propose to you can make the most out of your trip. While we got to luckily see everything we wanted to see, we spent what felt like 60% of our time just commuting (literally lost a whole day).
