Knowledgeable and experienced
We had a 11 days safari trip with Amshar. Edward responded very quickly when we approached for quotation. He adjusted the agenda and hotel per our wish, and provided us with the competitive price compared with other companies.
We enjoyed the trip very much thanks to Aloyce. He helped us buying phone SIM cards and bought us to the supermarket for necessities on the first day. And he shared a lot of knowledge about different animals along the way. We saw all the big five (except Rhino from a very far distance) and the migration of wildebeest and zebras. We are so amazed by all the animals we saw on the way. We had a small hiccup on the way that one of the hotel does not have hot water provided in the shower and it took quite some time to solve the problem. Luckily at the end, they have changed another room for us and we can have hot shower.
We also did a one day hike to Kilimanjaro and one day trip to Materuni waterfall which was highly recommended. African was our hiking guide on first day and he shared so many culture and plant knowledge on the way up to hut. Daniel was our second day guide to waterfall, coffee plantation area and the hot spring, he and the team were so enthusiastic, we felt so welcome and spent such a good day together. However the hot spring is very packed on Sunday when we went, but highly recommend to go on weekend as the hot spring itself is beautiful.

Magical
Bonjour ! Traveling with Heart of Savannah was a dream! Everything ran smoothly, no stress, just pure enjoyment. Naitu organized everything perfectly, and Jennifer and Paul made the experience unforgettable with their kindness and passion. The lodges, especially in the Masai Mara, were amazing. Truly one of the best trips we’ve ever had. Asante sana!

From start to finish the tour was excellent!
I am sure that we had the best driver in all of the Masai Mara, John Mwangi is his name, if you want to watch all the animals, make sure you are fir him by name! He really went out of his way to make sure we watch all the animals and as close as possible! Thank John, you helped me live a lifelong dream!

Great experience made possible with well organized team and special thanks to our guide Boni.
Detailed trips sharing and information guidebook provided beforehand based on customization request. Clear briefing and agenda listed with flexibility I adjust on the start day. Good understanding of information in Kenya.
Great tour guide Boni made the whole trip even better, capturing leopards, lions group, Rhinos etc. he seems to know lots of people on the road and has been working on this for decades.
Price is not the cheapest but worth it as we’re four people.
One thing could improve is to reduce driving hours. Also would be great to know the Flamingo 🦩 migration situation for us to skip some spots as they’re not in Kenya this year.
Overall will definitely recommend.

Nature Insight Safaris made our Kenya trip seamless, joyful, and truly unforgettable.
We recently travelled to Kenya with Nature Insight Safaris, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly planned and executed with great attention to detail.
Thanks to their professional team, our itinerary was seamless — we could comfortably cover all the destinations we had hoped for and were lucky enough to spot almost every animal on our list. The hotels they selected were excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised by the availability of delicious Indian vegetarian food everywhere we stayed.
A special mention to our amazing guide Sammi and coordinator Audrey — both were extremely knowledgeable, warm, and made sure every part of our journey was smooth and memorable. My kids had a fantastic time too, which says a lot about how family-friendly the entire experience was.
We were referred to Nature Insight Safaris by a friend who travels often to Kenya, and we’re so glad we took her recommendation. We’d definitely recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Kenya!

Overall, a satisfactory trip was planned.
During the designated process of this trip, Leisureway's response was very timely and provided WeChat service for Chinese people, which was very convenient.
Perhaps due to the peak season of the National Day holiday, we encountered the problem of hotel overbooking. The booked hotel was informed before triggering that it needed to be replaced, but the salesperson gave us several acceptable options. Most of the hotels that were replaced were acceptable although there has been no upgrade or even some downgrade.
But most importantly, the guide service provided was also good. Therefore, we were quite satisfied with this trip.

Professional guides with a deep understanding of both people and animals.
I can't stop thinking about our safari experience. It had been my longtime wish—and now, it’s truly a dream come true. Jackson was an excellent guide, with exceptional driving skills, a keen eye for detail, and just the right touch of humor. And with just the right amount of patience, allowing us to capture those rare, special moments like the great migration river crossing. We were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five. Beyond the Big Five, we were lucky to encounter cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, zebras, and others we had wished for. The accommodations were excellent, and waking up in the heart of the wilderness was truly special. We were most impressed by the Serengeti, and we're already planning to return—this time with our son. Thank you once again for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. We loved it! There are already a few things on my wishlist for the next time.

Excellent experience
I recently had an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya with Jocky Tours, and I want to start by expressing my deepest gratitude to our incredible tour guide, Sir Charles. In my opinion, he is absolutely the No.1 guide! Charles is not only an excellent driver but also a skilled tracker and "hunter" (in the best sense). He has an extraordinary ability to find the perfect spots for us to capture stunning photos of wildlife. Thanks to his professional expertise and keen instincts, we were able to witness some truly remarkable moments, including a lion hunting, spotting Simba, and even observing male and female ostriches switching shifts to guard their eggs.
One of the highlights of our trip was seeing the rare black rhino, which we were told is incredibly difficult to spot. This was such a special and memorable experience, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Charles’ expertise and dedication.
As for Jocky Tours, I must say their service is highly cost-effective and offers great value for money. The accommodations were well-chosen, and staying at Kibo Safari Camp for the last two nights was absolutely fantastic—it was the perfect way to end our trip.
That said, I do have one small recommendation for improvement. I would have appreciated receiving the driver’s contact information a few days prior to the safari. In our case, we only received Charles’ WhatsApp contact at 8 PM the night before our departure, which felt a bit last-minute. I had to call the company to request the information, and they shared it with me afterward. I hope the communication process can be more proactive in the future to make the experience even smoother.
In conclusion, this was a truly amazing safari experience, and I highly recommend Jocky Tours to anyone planning a trip to Kenya. And if you’re lucky enough to have Charles as your guide, you’re in for an exceptional adventure!
