People on the ground are devoted and do an amazing job
Though due to government hikes the programme was reduced (and office did not a good job communicating this and refused to accept that this business risk was theirs and not that of the customer), the tour itself could not have gone better. The camp was charmingly basic yet reliable, James our guide was a constant source of bubbly energy and knowledge (he knows his birds extremely well) and during the road trips everything was communicated timely and clear. A next time I would happily book again here. During the trip I never got the feeling that we were taken advantage of in a negative way or that shortcuts had been taken.

Good value for money
James was an excellent guide, knowledgable and very friendly. I would definitely recommend.
Value for money is also great, however communication around the new safari rules could have been better communicated.

overall a very good price performance tour. Food could be better
Our driver was Denis. He is both a good driver and a good person. If your driver is Denis, you can be sure that your tour will go well. About Jocky tour, It was a really good service compared to the price. The only issue we had a problem with was the lunch served. Frankly, I can't describe as food what I was given as lunch. Nevertheless they gave us a very good experience and thank you for all of that.

Good budget safari experience for solo traveller to Masai Mara
I enjoyed a three nite stay at Lenchada camp just outside the Mara. It is basic accommodation with limited electrical power so bring a power bank with you. The food was hearty, and tasty, lots of cooked veggies which I loved. My two guides over the days were Evans and Moses, both were very good. My only complaint was the organization, timing for pickup which I reported to the owner. I will hire Jocky again, as a budget traveller Jocky provided exactly what I am looking for. I am an experienced safari person and have been in a number of budget places and Lenchada was fine. The most important thing to consider is clean, good food and excellent guides. Keep up the good work.

A great authentic experience with a lots of animals
The communication with the agency was without any issues, and they were always fast to respond.
The safari was definitely value for money! The campsite surprises us positive and it was quit cozy.
On the safari we saw a lot of wild animals like we expected, so no complaints.
The only thing that could have been better was if the guide offered a bit more information about the program of the day and more about the animals.
We will still highly recommend it.

Great guide and itinerary, but accommodation varied from super to awful
Our guide, Johnny, was fantastic and knowledgeable, with a great sense of fun. He made everything work and nothing was too much trouble. We thoroughly enjoyed the few days we spent with him.
Everything was well organized and ran very smoothly. The parks were astonishingly beautiful and Johnny did a terrific job of showing and explaining the huge variety of wildlife they have to offer.
Sadly, the quality of the accommodation proved to be highly variable:
The Lenchada camp in Mesai Mala was very basic, but decent;
The Flamingo Hill Camp at Lake Nakuru was an absolute delight;
The Dove's Nest in Naivasha was simply appalling.
This is such a shame as it cast a pall over the otherwise excellent work of our guide and good organization of the safari.
