Restauranter i nærheden af Kenya Safari Budget 4x4 Jeep Adventure

a two-hour afternoon safari, which was a fantastic start to the trip. July is a busy season with abundant wildlife and many visitors, but our guide, Francis, took us all around the Masai Mara and made sure we had a thorough and memorable experience. Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru were also beautiful destinations, and the accommodations throughout the trip were simple, comfortable, and convenient. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Jocky Tours.

I have just returned from an unforgettable Jocky tour safari and cannot speak more highly of the entire experience. All of my online communications before coming to Kenya were friendly and the organization was impeccable. On the day of our tour we were picked up and guided to the safari truck that would be our base for the next few days and introduced to our first guide, Francis. From the beginning he was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for the long journey to Masai Mara. We checked into our tented camp, Sankale, that was close to the park entrance. Everyone at the camp was friendly and accommodating. The facilities at this rural camp exceeded our expectations. They provided delicious food, comfortable beds, generator power to charge devices and additional comforts like a bar and snack service. They even have constant hot water which isn't a given at remote camps. We felt incredibly safe and really enjoyed the experience. From there we got our first experience in the park. This was an incredible experience. Although the evening game drive was short Francis made sure our minds were truly blown working all his magic to allow us to meet exciting animals including zebra, giraffe, lions and elephants. With the sun setting as we left I was able to capture some really magical shots and couldn't believe my expectations had been so exceeded. I was sure the next day couldn't get better but Francis proved me wrong! He was a man on fire taking us to the best spots and ensuring we got the best views of animals. His 16 years of experience gave us a better experience than anyone else I've spoken to from other tours. Knowing when to drive like a maniac to reach a spot versus waiting patiently to get into the best position is his greatest skill. I couldn't have enjoyed my time in Masai Mara more! From here we journeyed to Lake Navasha and to allow us the most time in the park and to give us some optional extra time Francis was flexible with the itinerary. In Lake Navasha we saw Rhinos (black and white!) and many Rothchilds giraffes. Here Francis uncanny ability to know what the animals would do next and where they would approach and cross roads was incredible. On our final morning with this group we journeyed to Naivasha and took a boat ride to see crescent island, hippos and many bird species. This was a wonderful experience and we were grateful for the flexibility shown allowing us to do this! After this we left Francis and continues our journey with Jimmy. Jimmy was very welcoming to newcomers to his group and was exceedingly accommodating to other group members allowing them to make additional shopping pitstops that were quite inconvenient to him. He worked tirelessly to get us to Amboseli in good time and even when we were rushed he took the time to point out animals en route so we could enjoy the experience. We checked in to our second tented accomodations, mountain view, and this was really very luxurious for the budget classification of the tour. Electricity and hot water 24/7, wifi, bar, beautiful surroundings and a view of Kilimanjaro (when it's not cloudy!). The food was good and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend. The next morning Jimmy took us on a full day game drive through Amboseli and found herd of the giant elephants for us to see. He was patient and helpful for avid photographers in the group who wanted to perfectly picture the many bird species in Amboseli. His keen eyes and amazing experience helped us see species we definitely would have missed by ourselves! Our final activity of the tour was an early morning game drive before heading back to Nairobi. Here Jimmy was amazing at finding the best spots with elephants. We got so many up close pictures of multiple family groups and adorable babies! He used his extensive knowledge to guide us and put us in the perfect spot for pictures. When other group members thought they knew better where to take pictures he was kind and explained why we were doing what we were and of course he was right! Our journey back to Nairobi was very smooth with Jimmy and I cannot commend him more highly for dealing with difficult issues with hotel drop offs! In all I would recommend Jocky Tours to anyone who wants to go on a safari and when my nieces are old enough to do a safari I'll be returning with this company and would be delighted to stay in all the same accomodations and meet again with the fantastic guides!! For reference all pictures were taken with a phone camera only (not a new one at that!) .

We booked a budget 6-days Safari group (7 persons) tour with Jocky Tours to visit Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli parks. The communication, assistance and clearness of staff was excellent from beginning. Once picked-up from hotel, the real and amazing experience started: Joseph, the super experienced, kind and gentle driver, brought us to discovery the beauty of african savannah with all landscapes, trees and animals. We could see all the big 5 and plenty of different species, living within their habitat. We spent four nights in two beautiful and authentic tend camps (Kilimangiaro view was Amazing) and also relaxed one night in a semi-luxury resort in Nakuru. This was exactly the kind of dream we has about Kenya and african experience.
