Best experience within a budget
I was initially sceptical about the safari booking online as I didn't have direct reference (though some good reviews on the net). Completed 4 days Masai Mara+Nakuru safari. It exceeded my expectation. Definitely 5* for Maureen (sales) who responded to all my queries and a double 5* to John our tour guide cum driver who made our trip memorable. He ensured we saw the Big 5 and never missed single attempt to spend time for the right place in Mara. Thanks Jocky tours and would definitely recommend. I took a budget package. The Sankale camp was budget camp but will clean tent and toilet. Food was basic but budget was our choice. If you are with family, recomend to go with mid budget accomodation though there is nothing wrong in the budget.

all good
Safari is an amazing experience and we saw almost all type of animals. August is a good time to go because of the weather and no raining. Cornelius is a very nice person.

Friendly, eager operator with a lot of fun doing his job
We had chosen the 5 day safari and could absolutely recommend the tour. Our guide showed us a lot of amazing animals. He was very eager to give us the best experience during our journey. On our tour we had a lot of luck and could have seen all Big Five of Africa.
The different stops are totally different. That's why there is a lot of variety in the tour. From safari to a boat trip, cycling and walking into a gorge.
The first accomodation in the camp was not that good. It is very basic and in the beginning our toilet did not work and the light as well as the WIFI sometimes didn't work. But the other two hotels were okay.
The communication during the tour could sometimes be a little bit better. As well we recommend you to have US-dollars with you to pay the extra activities like the Maasai village, cycling or the walk into the gorge.
Even if there were some critical points it was a great experience with nice people and we would do it again.

He was funny and always knew the best Spots.
The Safari with Meruslope was a great experience. We had a good driver who was also funny and knew many things about the parks. The food was tasty. The only thing to improve are some washrooms in the bush camps.
Overall it was one of the best things we ever did and I would recommend it to anyone who is considering it.
