They were very kind and willing to meet all our needs
We couldn't hope for a better tour operator. They were so helpful and willing to meet all our needs since the first contact. They supported us creating a perfect tour for us and giving us a perfect picture of the tour. They thought about everything so we can enjoy our trip. Our guide was so prepared and fun, so the trip was even better.
In our last day we had a lot of free time and asked to them if there was a guide available to take us on a city tour to spend our spare time. There was no problem and our tour was immediately organized.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Bush Craft Safaris
From the very first email to the final goodbye, Bush Craft Safaris exceeded every expectation. The communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, making the booking process stress-free. Our guide Frank was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife—he went out of his way to ensure we had the best sightings while respecting the animals and their habitat.
The itinerary was perfectly balanced, offering a mix of breathtaking landscapes and up-close wildlife encounters. At Murchison Falls National Park, we watched the sunrise over the Nile, witnessed elephants drinking by the water’s edge, spotted lions lounging in trees, and came within arm’s reach of graceful giraffes. A mother-and-baby olive baboon strolled right past our vehicle, a Nile crocodile slid into the river, and we even received a memorable “death stare” from a dominant hippo.
In Queen Elizabeth National Park, our lodge was magical—each evening we fell asleep to the calls of weaver birds, and every morning an elephant came to visit our veranda while hippos grazed on the shore. The Kazinga Channel boat cruise was a birder’s paradise, with countless species darting across the water.
The absolute highlight, however, was the mountain gorilla trekking. The moment we locked eyes with the silverback, my heart raced—I felt the raw power of our closest primate relative, and it was both humbling and electrifying. I joked that he could punch me all the way back to China!
The value for money was outstanding—every lodge, meal, and transfer was top-notch, and the reliability of the team meant we never worried about a single detail. This was not just a holiday; it was a life-changing adventure. I am already planning my return trip. Highly, highly recommended!

Perfect safari with Isaac!
We had an amazing safari and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guide, Issac, was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and always went the extra mile to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible. Thanks to his determination, we saw an incredible variety of animals, including the unforgettable sighting of a black rhino.
The accommodation throughout the trip was excellent. Every lodge was clean, comfortable, and in beautiful locations, making it the perfect place to relax after each day’s game drive. The staff were welcoming, the food was great, and everything was very well organised.
A huge thank you to Issac for making this such a memorable trip. We would highly recommend both him and this safari company to anyone visiting Kenya.

Absolutely fantastic!!!!!
We booked a 3 day safari to Amboseli national park, We were really struggling to decide who to book through as the amount of safari companies out there were overwhelming. We didn't know anyone that had been on a safari to Amboseli previously to recommend us, and so we did our research and looked through the reviews of a lot of different companies, and to us jocky tours and travel stuck out. And we're so glad we went with them!
They helped us organise it from the beginning and answered any questions that we had. They helped put a personalised package together with our wishes and needs. Vincent met us at the airport at the start of the tour for transfer.
Our tour guide was Francis and he was amazing! We booked a private tour, so it was just the two of us for the 3 days and Francis became a friend, we laughed and joked and had such a great time!
Francis was able to recommend us things to do as extra activities and we really enjoyed..
We were able to see 3 of the Big 5! We had some extremely close encounters with Elephants and two big male Lions!
It was a truly magical experience and having Francis as our tour guide completed it for us!
He was extremely knowledgeable. We learnt so much from him and he was able to spot animals, even from so far away! For example, he spotted a cheetah in the distance! Many animals we wouldn't have spotted if it wasn't for Francis !
The safari was clean and was very comfortable and we have no complaints whatsoever!
We will be back, and we'll be using jocky again, especially asking for Francis !!!! Thank you so much jocky and Francis ..

Amazing
We had a short stay for a safari, with only 3 days available, but Nicholas managed to accommodate all of our wishes perfectly. Always in a great mood, he made each day even more enjoyable.
Nicholas also has an incredible knowledge of wildlife and enthusiastically shared many stories, facts, and interesting insights about the different species we were lucky enough to see. It was a truly enriching and memorable experience!
We will definitely be coming back in a few years to experience this wonderful adventure again.
Professional, reliable operator with expert guides, great hotels, and an unforgettable safari.
We had an amazing experience on the Maasai Mara + Lake Nakuru + Naivasha Mid-Range Safari with Imara Africa Safaris. Booking and communication were smooth, professional, and hassle-free from beginning to end. The itinerary was exceptionally well organized, giving us plenty of time to enjoy each destination without feeling rushed.
Our guide, Simone, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and always made sure we had the best wildlife-viewing opportunities. His experience and sharp eye helped us spot an incredible variety of animals and birds.
During our safari, we saw lions, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, zebras, African buffalo, rhinoceroses, hippos, hyenas, thousands of wildebeest crossing during the spectacular Great Migration, gazelles, impalas, warthogs, baboons, monkeys, crocodiles, ostriches, majestic eagles, vultures, and many other colorful bird species. Witnessing the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara was truly breathtaking and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, which added a wonderful variety to the safari.
The accommodations selected by Imara Africa Safaris were excellent. Every hotel and lodge was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, with great food and friendly staff, making it easy to relax after exciting days of game drives.
This safari exceeded all of our expectations. From the excellent planning and comfortable accommodations to the incredible wildlife encounters and exceptional guiding, everything was first class. I highly recommend Imara Africa Safaris and the Maasai Mara + Lake Nakuru + Naivasha Mid-Range Safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable Kenyan safari adventure.
