Perfect days in Masai Mara
I had an amazing experience with the Maasai Mara safari guide service and would highly recommend it to others. Our guide, Peter, was outstanding — he had an incredible ability to anticipate the movements of the animals, which allowed us to see them at the best possible moments. Thanks to his deep knowledge and keen instincts, we were able to enjoy unforgettable wildlife encounters. Truly a five-star experience!
Thank you so much Peter kapino!

An unforgettable safari with Brian!
Our safari in the Masai Mara was an incredible experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide and driver, Brian Ondigo. He was amazing from start to finish - super knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.
Brian knew exactly where to go and how to time everything perfectly. We managed to see so many animals, including lots of lions - we even watched them hunting and eating wild hogs, which was just unbelievable! He always got us in the best spots to see the animals up close, and you can see from the photos we’ve shared how incredible those moments were.
What we really appreciated most was how easygoing and kind Brian was. He made us feel completely at ease and made the whole experience smooth and fun.
If you ever go on safari in the Masai Mara, definitely ask for Brian Ondigo. You’ll be in the best hands, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

Incredible
We did a 3-day safari in the Masai Mara, and while it can feel a bit overwhelming at first because there are so many agencies to choose from, we honestly couldn't have been luckier with ours — especially with our guide, Bryan.
Safaris always involve an element of luck — spotting animals depends on so many factors — but one thing we've learned is that a good guide makes *all* the difference. And Bryan Ondigo went above and beyond. He was professional, super knowledgeable, clearly passionate about his work, and made the whole experience unforgettable. Every time he said his classic “Surprise, surprise”, we knew something incredible was coming… and it always was!
We came in with low expectations, thinking seeing the Big Five on our first safari was close to impossible — or that if we did see lions, they’d be miles away. But we honestly lost count of how many lions we saw: some having breakfast on a buffalo, others in the middle of a hunt… absolutely unreal.
Of course, not every safari is the same, but having a committed guide like Bryan Ondigo changes everything. Also, the communication with the agency beforehand was great — they answered all our questions quickly and clearly, and everything was well organized from the start.
All in all, this was a 15/10 safari. If we ever come back — or if anyone asks us for a recommendation — we wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

Professional, great value, and action packed safari!
We were very happy with our 7 day safari from Jocky Tours! The program is well thought out, the home cooked meals are great, and most important of all our guide Dennis was the best! Dennis is very professional, patient, and he kept our ship running smoothly. We felt very lucky to have him as our guide. We were pleasantly surprised by how many different animal and bird species we saw! We could see them quite closely at road crossings and other vantage points. We saw all of the Big 5, and much more!
As to be expected on a budget safari, accommodations in one of the tented camps was fairly basic. I was still impressed at what they could put together with very simple infrastructure. All tents and hotel rooms on the trip had private bathrooms. They all did very well at the two things that matter most, having comfortable beds, and delicious home-cooked meals!
My one (small) comment would be to investigate options for refilling water bottles from 5 gallon containers. We drank individual bottled water the entire time, and I felt bad for the amount of trash we produced.
If your values are to maximize experience and viewing animals in Africa, then this is the trip for you! It’s a long drive and an action packed itinerary, but the best way to see 3 major parks in 7 days.
We are happy to say that everything exceeded our expectations, and we are already talking to Jocky Tours again on their other trip offerings. Before we started with them I was skeptical of so many five star reviews, but now I see that it’s true and we are joining the list of happy clients!

True to their promises and often exceeding them!
I booked the tour via safari booking and then on to Jocky tours! Communication was easy and quick (I only booked 2 weeks in advance).
Instructions were clear and airport pick-up/hotel drop off worked well. No complaints.
The 4d/3n Mara-Nakuru tour with our guide (Stanley) was amazing, saw the best wildlife (Cheeta chase and kill, need I say more..) and had informing and funny talks with our guide.
The stays and food were a bit basic and repetitive, but overall fine and for a 'budget' tour to be expected.
All in all, very happy to recommend this tour and these people! Cheers

as promised
We had Steven as guide/driver. I can highly recommend him as he was a good driver, excellent guide and well informed about the animals in the park. He was always on time and flexible with the wishes of our group. He made the whole trip an amazing experience.
