Our safari with Africa Jocky Tours & Safaris was an unforgettable experience! Everything ran incredibly smoothly from start to finish. A huge, special thanks goes to our amazing guide, Francis. He was absolutely fantastic—extremely knowledgeable, patient, and an expert at spotting the wildlife. Thanks to him, we had the most incredible game drives. The service exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend Jocky Tours and Francis to anyone planning a safari in Africa! 5 stars!

Exceptional safari with jockey- perfectly organized and led by a truly outstanding guides 5/5
Our 5-night (6 days) safari with Jocky tours and Safaris was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the entire experience was professional, smooth, and thoughtfully designed.
Flawless Planning and Communication
Our consultant understood exactly what we were looking for — a well-paced, comfortable safari with beautiful camps and strong wildlife opportunities, but without feeling rushed or exhausted. She translated our preferences into a perfectly structured itinerary.
All 3 camps were stunning, comfortable, and very well chosen. The routing was logical, the transitions were seamless, and at no point did we feel fatigued by long drives or unnecessary backtracking. Everything felt balanced and intentional. The logistics throughout the journey were handled effortlessly.
The Hidden Gem: Our Guides, James and Francis
What elevated this safari from excellent to unforgettable was our guides, Francis and James
With over 5 years (James )and 15 years (Francis ) of experience — their depth of knowledge was interesting.
Francis is calm, respectful of nature, and deeply intuitive in the field. He doesn’t just drive around looking for animals — he reads the landscape. By observing tracks, bird movements, alarm calls, and subtle environmental signs, he anticipates where wildlife might appear. His instincts are remarkable.
He truly has eagle eyes — spotting animals in the distance without binoculars when the rest of us would see nothing. Thanks to them, we saw everything we had hoped to see, including several breathtaking predator hunting moments. Even more impressive, they always positioned the vehicle at the perfect angle for viewing and photography, without disturbing natural behavior.
Extraordinary Knowledge and Professionalism
Francis knowledge goes far beyond the Big Five. He recognizes nearly every bird species we encountered in Amboseli — which makes sense, as he even keeps a dedicated bird reference book in the vehicle. His passion for wildlife is genuine, We saw other vehicles getting stuck, but not once did we. Both guides driving judgment and control in difficult terrain were impressive and reassuring.
Every morning, despite mud/ dusty and long drives, the vehicles were clean and ready. Hot lunches were prepared daily, and we felt consistently well cared for.
The last guide (Francis ) is clearly respected among other guides and was always supportive and professional on the radio. His humility, experience, and kindness made a lasting impression on us.
Final Thoughts
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Francis as our guide on the last few days , He is truly a hidden gem within Jocky — and if you have the opportunity to request him, do so without hesitation.
Jocky organized a beautiful safari. Francis and James made it unforgettable.

Jocky tours and the two guides Francis and James were amazing
We were incredibly lucky to have Francis/james as our guides during our safari, and we honestly could not have asked for a better experience.
From the very first moment we met them, they were friendly, welcoming, polite and professional. They immediately made us feel comfortable and throughout the entire safari they constantly looked after the group. They were always thinking ahead, making sure we were comfortable, had everything we needed and were enjoying ourselves.
One thing we especially appreciated was Francis communication. Francis always kept us informed about what was happening and what to expect next. Whether he was collecting park permits, planning the next game drive, driving to a new destination or organising lunch, he continuously explained the plan and what we were going to do. This made us feel relaxed, informed and completely taken care of throughout the safari.
His knowledge of the wildlife, nature and parks was outstanding. He shared fascinating information about animal behaviour and answered every question with patience and enthusiasm. We learned so much from him during our Amboseli part.
What truly impressed us was both Francis and James incredible ability to spot animals. Thanks to Francis/james we experienced sightings that we never imagined we would see. During our safari we saw all of the Big Five, including a leopard and the rare black rhino. We also saw a cheetah, lions, lions eating , elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, countless antelopes and many beautiful bird species.
Some moments were simply unforgettable. We had lions , cheetah and a leopard right next to our jeep, watched elephants feeding only a few metres away and witnessed incredible wildlife encounters throughout the trip. Many of these sightings would never have happened without Francis and James sharp eyes, experience and dedication.
Beyond being an excellent guide, Francis is simply a wonderful person. He is kind, respectful, patient, funny and genuinely passionate about his work. It never felt like he was just doing a job. It felt like he truly wanted us to have the best safari experience possible.
We would also like to compliment jocky Safaris on the accommodations. Every single stay exceeded our expectations. Lenchada camp was fantastic, with beautiful tents , excellent food and incredibly friendly staff. Buraha Zenoni Nakuru experience was absolutely magical, Our final accommodation which was Mountain View amboseli was equally impressive and provided the perfect ending to an unforgettable safari.
What surprised us most was how much comfort and service we received throughout the entire trip. The staff at every accommodation were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. You truly receive far more than you expect.
If you are lucky enough to have Francis as your guide, you are in the very best hands. He is a true professional, an exceptional wildlife guide and a wonderful ambassador for Kenya .
Thank you Jocky , James and Francis , for the memories, the knowledge, the laughs and the adventure. We will never forget this safari.

qualified English-speaking guide, very kind, great with group vibes. Always there to help us!
We just arrive at the end of this 7-day budget adventure through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli, and our guide Francis made it unforgettable. He knows these parks like the back of his hand — he spotted the Big 5 and plenty of wildlife, he knew exactly where to go.
Beyond the spotting skills: the vehicle was a comfortable open-roof vehicle, lodges were nice with hot shower, and all meals + park fees were handled smoothly. No hidden costs, no rushing.
Francis is also a qualified English-speaking guide, patient with photos, great with group vibes, and he kept us safe, hydrated with bottled water. He’s knowledgeable, fun and made our Masai Mara to Amboseli trip seamless. Professional, safe driving, he went above and beyond.
If you’re booking this group safari, ask for Francis. You won’t regret it. Asante sana Francis!

We saw breathtaking wildlife up close—lions, elephants, all the big 5 and even a cheetah hunt! The whole trip was seamless, fun, and absolutely unforgettable. I can’t recommend it enough—book your tour with David now!
