Friendly, knowledgeable and a good driver.
5/5

Francis was absolutely excellent. From the moment we met, he was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we had a great conversation on the drive to the lodge. As an experienced safari guide, Francis knew exactly where to go for the best views of elephants and other wildlife, making the experience truly unforgettable.

He was also extremely accommodating, going out of his way to ensure we had the best possible time. No request was too much trouble, and he always responded with warmth and professionalism. Francis answered all of our questions in excellent English, and he shared fascinating insights about the local culture, environment, and Kenya as a whole. His knowledge and passion made our safari experience even more special.

Kibo Camp was also excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them. The rooms were lovely—clean, spacious, and well-maintained—and the food was consistently excellent.

We were also lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro, which made the experience even more special. Overall, it was an outstanding tour from start to finish.

An excellent safari tour
5/5

The tour was amazing. Well organized and very satisfying. Our tour guide and driver Samuel Chege drived us safely everywhere, took care of every detail of our safari, explained everything about the animals. He did make every detour he could so we could have a better view of every animal we spotted. And we spot so many!

Unforgettable Safari Experience!
5/5

An absolutely unforgettable 3-day safari experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris! Everything was perfectly arranged, but what truly made this trip exceptional was our guide and driver, James Gichina.

Thanks to James’ outstanding driving skills, we were able to reach areas where we spotted an incredible variety of animals, sometimes far from the typical routes. His deep knowledge of wildlife and his ability to explain everything with such clarity and enthusiasm made every moment special.

James not only guided us, but brought the safari to life. His passion, patience, and professionalism made this trip an unforgettable experience.

Highly recommended, ask for James Gichina if you can!

What an amazing experience in Africa
5/5

We joined a 3 days safari tour to Masai mara. And it is much much more fun and exciting than what we expected. Especially our guide James Gichina, he is an amazing driver, excellent guide with professional knowledge and driving skills to show us how’s all the animals. He focused on the game drive and we were amazed by how skilfully and quickly he found the animals.

Great appreciation for James Gichina again!

5/5

7D6N Safari Tour is amazing .
Ist time my life watch with My own eye of the wild animals.
Infact it is not describe or express by writing.it was so surprise while the Giant elephant just standing in front of you not more than 10 meter away .
Papa John is a lives GPS and knowledgeable likes Google encyclopedias ,what ever you point or asked what kind of animals .he is able to explain to you.
The only thing regret we suppose to stay Manjaro Tented Camp site Near to the natural .but we was shifted to Amboseli Gateaway resort.
Any way the whole journey is perfect⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
One again Appreciated to our driver cum tour guide Mr.Papa John for his hospitality
and warm hearted.

Fantastic Tour, Fantastic Guide!
5/5

I absolutely recommend this tour, and especially this tour guide, Andrew/Kabaya!

I did the 7-day safari, joining a group, and had a wonderful time. We saw so many animals, in such beautiful landscapes. The group was really fun, a mixture of people from China, Italy, Iraq, and the US. The hotels and campgrounds we stayed in were really nice. (The camps were more like glamping than camping.) The company was very communicative when I emailed and called, and took care of literally everything.

Finally, our tour guide, Andrew was absolutely splendid. He knew so much about the flora and fauna, and was so thoughtful and communicative with us. (And he was a great driver.)

Thank you Jocky Tours and Andrew for a wonderful safari!

6 day Kenya safari
5/5

We had a great time on our 6 day budget safari trip to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Our guide Joseph was wonderful, very knowledgeable, friendly, kind and we felt very safe with him as we traveled by road across Kenya.
