In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best.
Masai Mara review
We had taken the Masai Mara trip with Jocky Tours. In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best. We recommend a Matatu over the Landcruiser as it's cheaper and nearly same experience.
The communication over email and phone was perfect.
A longer feedback follows. They picked us up promptly from our place. We had a good drive with Simon to Masai Mara. The road is not very good but Simon was a skilled driver. The lenchada camp site was very good and our tent was really comfortable. During the game drives, Simon was very actively coordinating with others to make sure we see as much game as possible and was also very knowledgeable. He told us about the living habits, gestation period and breeding habits of each of the species. They also made us see the sunrise in the national park which was amazing.
The Masai village tour was also fun.
Overall we recommend the tours and ask for Simon as your driver and guide. He is really friendly. We saw a lot of game, great wildlife, good car and an amazing tour.

Review about Greater Kruger by Martin James Ledger
It was good but compared to other parks/game reserves it is a little too organised. I knew this would be the case but, as I was with someone who had never been before, I felt it a safe option. I prefer the "wilder" option and will return to South Africa to perhaps re-visit a location appearing less well "controlled". Having said that, where else can you drive among a pride of 19 lions and then park beside the male lion, lying a little way off, walk along a river bank watching a croc on the other bank and hippos in the water, at times be hassled by monkeys and baboons (in the nicest way of course) and drive past herds of zebra, impala and other animals. A fair range of sightings but after four safaris, I have still to see a leopard - next time perhaps!

My fourth in 20 years and just as good
Wildlife - good, scenery - fantastic, weather - mixed, but mostly good, accommodation - good to excellent (mostly the latter), food - fantastic (even if portions were a bit on the large size!), transportation - always good, guides - all excellent and informative. We had 3 holidays in one, first safari in the Kruger, then to Port Elizabeth, hire car and drive down the Garden Route and finally 6 days in Cape Town. All those running the guest houses etc we stayed at were very friendly and helpful. All accommodation was clean and generally well maintained. Most importantly we never felt anything but safe and felt comfortable wherever we went. No doubt there is crime (as anywhere) but it never raised its ugly head. In fact we were impressed by the honesty of all we met.

when I recalled the tour, I recognized this is a dangerous country.
the capital Nairobi is a city full of gang of robbers. be careful! better skip the capital or other big city.

Review about Tarangire National Park by David
Great national park, saw lots and lots of elephants. Quite a bit smaller than the neighbouring parks, has a bit of a theme park feel rather than actual wilderness (like Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Watch out for the monkeys stealing your lunch!

A real adventure!
It was a good adventure! The wildlife, the parks were amazing! The only thing we did not enjoy was our guide. Not very nice, not available to show us around the park, we were always the last to leave the the camp and the first to return. The last day we waited 2hours for him to get inside the park, he was sitting aroud and talking to some other drivers. Our cook was great, and al the meals were perfect!

Nice safari experience
It takes about 8 hours to get to the Masai Mara. Our guide was very nice and made sure we would see as many animals as possible which we did.
We also got to picnic in the Mara which was a fantastic experience.
The tents were also fine and private, there was no mosquitoes inside, and there was hot water.
We also visited a Masai village: do not miss it, it is very eye opening and we learn a lot from them.
Good quality for money.
Thank you for this wonderful experience.

Very good budget safari
We had a 4 day safari in Masai Mara and lake Nakuru. We had a minivan with pop up roof. James was a great guide who enjoyed his job and was good in spotting the animals. We saw a lot of animals thanks to him. He also helped us a lot with finding transport to our next destination which was hard just before Christmas. The accommodations were basic but fine, as what you can expect from this budget safari. We (group of 4 students) really liked it and would recommend this safari.
