Simple clear and efficient
Pacifique our driver was great. Super chill. Very knowledgeable and helpful. The tour was great. Hotel was decent. We did the mid range. So don’t expect luxury but the service was very good and the food decent. The cultural experience was a bit of a tourist trap but still interesting. The gorillas were at the edge of the forest so we didn’t get to hike much. No one can predict that. But it did take a bit away from the overall experience. The golden monkeys were definitely a highlight. They were in the field eating potatoes which made them easily accessible

Great experience:)
Paul was our Tour guide and we had amazing experience with him.
He is knowledgeable and very friendly and managed to provide us with all additional information and our requests.
He can organise transport, tours or anything that you want;)

A highly reliable tour operator that gave me a smooth, safe and truly memorable safari experience.
Our safari was an absolutely incredible experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Nelson. From the moment we started, he made us feel safe, comfortable, and completely taken care of. His knowledge about the wildlife, nature, and the local areas was unbelievable — he could spot animals from impossible distances and always knew the perfect place and moment for the best sightings.
Nelson wasn’t just professional; he was genuinely kind, patient, and fun to be around, which made the whole trip even more special. You can see how much passion he has for his work, and it truly shows in every detail.
Thanks to him, we experienced unforgettable moments that we will remember for a lifetime. I couldn’t imagine a better guide, and I recommend him and the tour operator 100%!

Perfectly well organised
Had a great time during our 3-day safari with Gosheni. It was very well organized from the very beginning to the very end. Our guide, Bariki, was very knowledgeable and patient and exhaustively answered and explained everything we asked him. Everything was perfect, and we’re already thinking about visiting other parks with them next year. Highly recommended.

Amazing
We had the most incredible African safari for our honeymoon truly an experience we will never forget. Our safari guide, Obedi, was absolutely amazing. He is exceptionally skilled at what he does and spotted so many animals we never would have seen without his expertise. His deep knowledge, warm personality, and genuine passion for wildlife made every moment special. He made us feel completely welcome and comfortable from start to finish.
The booking and organisation were also flawless. Everything ran smoothly and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip.
It was the perfect honeymoon adventure unforgettable, beautifully organised, and made even more special thanks to Obedi. Highly recommended!

Amazing and surreal and cost efficient compared with other tours 😊
3 day Masai mara/1 day Nakuru
Midrange package tour
Two months before our trip, I made the query to jocky tours related to the package tours, costs, options, suggestions and adjustments. It was handled seamlessly by maureen and the back office team. All information and answers where provided fast and on time. I paid for the reservation online 100USD for our group of 4. The link sent by their team is secured, and I did not encounter any error. Once I sent the payment confirmation, all is booked and reserved.
The day of the start of the tour, we where picked up by Papa John who will be our designated driver for the entire trip. We where led to pay the full amount to their small office in Nairobi. Their office is in the 2nd floor, and you will be met by 2-4 people in the office. You will be chose to pay either cc or in cash as per agreement.
The travel to/fro nairobi- Maasai mara- nakuru- airport is around 3-7hrs . It was bumpy, and felt quite long, a lot of dust so be prepared if you have allergies. Be prepared to bring chips, crackers along the way, because lunch will be in the designated hotel upon arrival for the nairobi to masai mara (morning trip).
Our game drive was fun and bumpy with a lot of excitement. We saw the big 5 (the leopard we only saw thru the hit air balloon). The hot air balloon was a surreal experience, expensive but worth it. It was arrange by the team and Papa John.
Our designated driver Papa john is highly recommended. He is nice, has a lot of knowledge about the animals and the area, most importantly drives safe from start till the end of the trip.
Overall it was exceptional except for the long drives although expected as per chosen tour. Thanks for Papa John and the team of jocky tours for a job very well done!

Thoughtful, Custom, Personal, and excellent execution.
Our objective was a short, luxury safari with latitude for customizations on lodging and transport. Sereland set the tone early with attention to a solid initial proposal, but more importantly, detailed attention to custom requests. By draft two, we are almost perfect, and then several inbound and outbound travel changes were addressed quickly and professionally. On the business and organizational front, our family was 100% satisfied with planning, communication, execution, and follow-up.
In the field, our guide was professional, knowledgeable, and made every effort to provide a safe and rewarding experience. Skill and patience are key, especially on short safaris...but to hit the big five (and almost "baby big five" as we called it...missed a young leopard) in an afternoon and next morning is unthinkable, but true. Our guide was also keenly aware of limiting impact to the parks, the wildlife, and courtesy to other safari goers. Schedules were clearly communicated, yet flexible, which only added to maximizing the value and reliability of our journey.
In short, we will not hesitate to send friends and family directly to Sereland for their needs, and will do the same should we return in the near future.

An experience of a lifetime!
We went on a safari to Masai Mara with Rocktrek and had the experience of a lifetime we will never forget, which we will talk about for the rest of our lives. Our driver, Linus, was incredibly knowledgable. We had so much fun with him and he made the experience what it was. He knew all the right spots to see certain animals and covered so much of Masai Mara so we could see the beauty of it. The overwhelming and blissful feeling of our 4 days here left us not wanting to leave! The whole process of booking with Rocktrek was simple from start to finish, and was tailored specifically to our preferences to make the most of our trip to Masai Mara. We would without a doubt book a tour to Masai Mara with Rocktrek again, specifically with Linus as he made us feel welcome, comfortable and went out of his way to ensure we had the most amazing experience. They have even gone out of their way to arrange sending a forgotten bag of things we left in Masai Mara back to the UK for us, which we are so appreciative of. 10/10 from us.
