Excellent operator, if someone wants to go on safari, definitely choose them!!!
I read a lot of comments before I chose the company I wanted to go on safari with. Based on the comments I chose Jocky tours and I don't regret it at all! In fact the tour was even better than I had imagined.
Johny Jackson was our driver and we cannot thank him enough. An excellent driver who loves animals and knows a lot about them and Kenya as well. During the safari it was an extra help that he could spot an animal from up to 1km away, like the cheetah, so we were the first to arrive and we could admire it from 2m away. This is an everlasting experience for me. Any request we had he always found a solution, we were really lucky to have him as our guide all along. The safari was well organised, the jeep comfortable, the accommodations excellent, especially the Manjaro camp. We also saw the Big 5 and the Ugly 5.
Thank you Jocky Tours and special thanks to you Johny Jackson!

Incredible Maasai Mara adventure with Bison Safaris
I had an incredible Maasai Mara adventure with Bison Safaris .Our guide was knowledgeable,ensuring we saw the big five and other animals. We even got to see the famous Mara river. The camp was beautifully nature -oriented,offering a peaceful and comfortable stay. The meals were delicious,and the Maasai Mara landscape was breathtaking,especially the stunning sunset. Bison Safaris provides great value for money with a well-organized,unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent, I deffiniatly recommend them!
We were on a 7 days safari tour. Our driver (Johny Jackson) was really kind and helpful! He’s a very good driver, he told us lot of information about the animals, and culture of Kenya. We saw all of the Big5 animals, in addition to the leopard 4 times, and we saw cheetas, elephants really really close with him!
The best park was Masai Mara and Nakuru. Amboseli was also good, but there was less animals, and they were really far away, because there is only one fix road! So you need a telescope for the good experience, that we didn’t have but fortunately Jhony has, so it wasn’t a big problem for us!
About the accommodation:
All accommodation was fine, but the absolutly best was Manjaro camp! The camp is awsome, also the employees! The food was delicous here.
It may seem expensive at first but it is absolutely worth the price.
We had an unforgettable experience!

Amazing experience
We spent 2 days and 1 night in Mikumi with guide Rajubu. He was amazing, very well experienced and did his best to show us all the animals even when it was challenging because of the rain. We saw lions, hippos, crocodiles, Buffalo, elephants... The lodge we spent the night on was amazing: beautiful, super clean, kids friendly and super friendly staff. We enjoyed every minute.

Caring people trying to make the best memories
We met Steven the day before we left for the tour at the office in Arusha. We made all arrangements about the tour, the equipment, timing, food (allergies, …) and discussed about how to prepare for the days in the mountain.
All was planned well, we got picked up at our accomodation, even it was a bit outside the center and they also brought us back after the tour.
Steven was very caring and also the team which was joining us the 6 days was awesome! All the porters and the guides were very friendly and tried to do everything to make our adventure as comfortable as possible.

Professional, knowledgeable, engaging
Picked up at the agreed time. Nice ride to the Mara. Tour guide polite and was able to elaborate any queries. He was able to take us to the right spots for excellent viewing of the animals - lions, leopard, was even able to capture a chetah devouring a gazelle, elephants, giraffes, buffalos, crocodile, hippos and many more. Also a variety of birds. The picnic was lovely. It was such a nice break and the kids loved every moment. No need to worry about your phone running out of charge as the van has several charging points. Great trip and drop off right to our door step. Loved the Fania gift pack! - thanks.

Steve is the best tour guide in Kenya!! I felt extremely safe and he gave us a 1000/10 Experience.
Absolutely loved this experience. It was better than I anticipated. First off, the people and accommodations were amazing. Everyone was so welcoming. Our Tour Guide Steve is the one person I trust with my life. He showed us an amazing experience, was super knowledgeable on where to find the animals, a great driver, funny, always brought great energy, and always made us feel safe. Also speaking about the animals. We saw an abundance of animals. We saw the Big 5 multiple times each day. We even saw animals hunting and finding food right in front of us.
