Hugely knowledgeable, excellent communication
Rose was superb in helping us choose the right location, type of safari and which lodge.
We gave Rose a very broad brief (Safari in Africa), and over the course of several discussions, we found a safari that suited our preferences, timing and budget, which was healthy but not unlimited or extravagant.
From that point onwards, the organisation and communication was excellent, and we traveled in the reassuring knowledge that Rose would be available should the need arise, which it didn’t.
Overall, we travelled as a family of four (2 x adults + 2 x children aged 12 and 14) to Machaba Camp in Botswana for four nights. It was heaven. Lions, Leopards, Hyenas plus as many Elephants, Zebras, Hippos and Giraffes as you could count.
The Camp was extremely comfortable, but it was also very real. We felt very connected to the animals, and the African bush. My family were worried about sleeping in tents, but their concerns were unfounded. It was a joy to sleep safely in luxury tents listening to our surroundings. We felt safe at all times.
Many fellow travelers were splitting their safari across several different camps, eg 2 nights at one camp and then 2/3 nights at others. We choose not to because we preferred to be relaxed and minimize travel. It’s purely personal preference.
Overall, the trip could not have been better. Thank you, Rose and The Luxury Safari company.

Top tier!
We chose a 4 night/5days safari and it was more than I expected. Really good value for the price we payed. Spent two nights in Maasai Mara and was able so see all of the big five. Accomodation was «budgety» but really nice. Jimmy was an amazing and patient tour guide - really recommend him.

The tour operator is very friendly and professional.
The communication in English is clear before the tour. We saw many animals during the 3 day tour, which is great value for money. Our guide, Jack, is very responsible and knowledgeable. The accommodation, Mara Chui resort, is safe and clean and has 24-hour hot water although water pressure is quite low.

Excellent, great communication and service
Our guide Jack was super! We saw so many animals and had a great 3 day safari. I would recommend the optional Maasai Mara village visit too! Lenchada camp is very basic but has showers, beds, breakfast and dinner and a campfire in the evening! Would recommend Jocky safaris to friends, especially with tour guide Jack!

Incredible views, great people, slightly disorganised.
The tour of the Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Hells Gate was incredible. We managed to see the big five and enjoyed a lot of great lodges/hotels along the way. The tour was slightly rearranged and disorganised but we still managed to see everything. Between our tour guides - Edward, Joffrey, and Moses - we were given really great information and help throughout the trip to ensure we managed to see everything. In terms of value for money - there is a lot of driving around which may feel like the fees paid can be somewhat too much. But as one realises the fees are predominately for the really great places you stay along the trip. One recommendation I do have is to try to get the jeeps instead of the vans (these make a massive difference to viewing and travel). Also, to take the bicycle ride at Hells Gate as opposed to driving. The long hours in the car can really add up so getting out and stretching your legs is very much needed.
