very special experience!
My partner and I went on the 4 day Masai Mara + Nakuru private tour, and had an unbelievable experience:
The highlight of the trip was definitely our driver and guide, Mr. David Mwangi. He was not only very knowledgeable and patient in explaining features of all the animals we saw, but he very quickly adapted to what we liked and how much we wanted to linger at a spot. Aside from the animals, he also told us more about the Masai culture and life in Kenya in general. Overall, he was always ready to share with us what he knew, but also gave us our alone time to chat and nap whenever we needed. We left earlier and returned later than most of the other parties, as he really wanted to make sure we got the most out of the trip. In short, David was a true professional and educator, and he was incredibly respectful to the animals, nature, and other people, while seemingly always in a lighthearted mood. Not to mention, he is a very careful driver, and we really felt safe in his hands throughout the trip. We didn't specifically request David as we just booked through the tour coordinator via email, but if you can, I can highly highly recommend booking a private tour with him, and I hope to return with him guiding my friends and family soon!
As for the tour itself, the last week of May seemed to be a good time, after the heavy rain season but before peak season. Of course we didn't see the wildebeest migration because it was out of season, but that was fine since we got to spend much more quiet time at each spot and saw the animals up close without other cars constantly coming in and out. Mara and Nakuru had very different landscape, so it was very much experiencing sceneries in both parks. As for the optional activities, the Masai village was a unique experience you obviously can't get anywhere else, and the boat ride on lake Naivasha was also interesting, but in general they costed more than what they were probably worth.

5-star Safari Tour
An unforgettable safari experience! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide, Francis, was outstanding — knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five and so much more. The vehicle was comfortable and ideal for game viewing, and the lodges were beautiful with excellent service. Highly recommend this safari — and be sure to request Francis for an exceptional experience!

Incredible All-Around Experience
I chose the budget safari, and it exceeded my expectations. The accommodation was just what I wanted, and the food was better than expected.
The game drives themselves were a blast, and we saw every animal that I wanted.
Richard (Richie) was incredibly knowledgeable and quite literally answered every single question that anyone had regarding the animals, flora, and even Kenya more generally. He was also great to chat with and got us super close to the animals for an amazing view while not disturbing the animals or disrupting their hunt.
I would highly recommend this option for budget travellers, but families and others as well!

Sublime
A quick review of Sarafi: I really enjoyed the few days spent in the savannah with an excellent guide, Moses. He managed to help us spot five of the Big Five and explained all the secrets of the savannah.
On top of that, he's a very skilled driver.
Thanks to him, I’ll carry unforgettable memories forever.

Extraordinary
Our experience was incredible. We had the chance to see the Big Fives thanks to our guide Moses, who was exceptional.
Everything was perfectly organised, we had a free mind, our guide took care of everything during our stay. He knew the animals by heart, and his passion for his job was very much appreciated. Thank you again, Moses, we made a dream come true on this safari.
The agency was very responsive, and the value for money was extremely interesting.
Don't hesitate, go on safari with Jocky Tours and ask for the Moses Guide, he's the best!

Excellent
I did the tour over Maasai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha and it was great! Our driver was Kenn, great driver and great guide, he did everything to show us the big 5 and he succeeded on it. Always the correct information about place and animals. It’s amazing as he is in contact with lot of people to know where and when to drive. It was great, totally worth it.

Absolute ripper!!
Moses made the tour. Not afraid to get in the right spot/location to not only see, but get the best photos with lighting as he considered it all. He also knew a lot of the rangers and other guides, so was constantly getting tips on where more animals were.
