good experience worth coming
Did not see the crossing though, however the guides are trying their best to find animals.

Andrew Kamau was a very thoughtful and funny guide for our group, he did his best.
I had a very good time with the group during these 2 days Safari. The car and the driver (Andrew Kamau) were both very good and I saw basically everything I expected from a Safari. Andrew is a very experienced, funny and caring person, I would definitely suggest to take a safari with him.

Excellent
My boyfriend and I chose the group tour with mid-range accommodation, after the agency was recommended to us by a colleague who had taken the same tour two years earlier.
We arrived in Kenya at Nairobi Airport, where a driver from the agency picked us up and took us to their offices. There, we met our guide, James Gichina, who accompanied us throughout this wonderful safari experience.
We decided to visit just one park, the largest and most famous one, the Masai Mara, with the itinerary also including Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha.
James was absolutely outstanding. His knowledge of wildlife and the parks was impressive, and he explained everything we were seeing in great detail. Thanks to his experience and incredible ability to spot animals, in just a few days we managed to see all the Big Five, as well as many other animals.
He was also an excellent and very safe driver, even on the more challenging roads. His professionalism, knowledge and passion made our safari truly unforgettable. We could not have asked for a better guide for our first safari in Kenya.

Extraordinary
My safari experience in Kenya was truly unforgettable. I chose to visit the Masai Mara, the largest and most famous park, while also including Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha in the itinerary.
A huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide, James Gichina. He was extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, the parks and the local environment, and he was always happy to share interesting information and answer all of our questions. His passion for what he does was clear throughout the entire safari.
Thanks to his experience and incredible ability to spot wildlife, we were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five within just a few days, along with an amazing variety of other animals. James always seemed to know where to go and what to look for, and he could spot animals that we would have completely missed. Every game drive was different and exciting.
I also really appreciated his skills as a driver. Even on rough roads and during long days in the parks, we always felt safe and comfortable. He was patient, careful and incredibly attentive.
James was not simply our driver and guide; he was an essential part of the experience. His professionalism, expertise and genuine passion for the safari made our trip even more memorable. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari in Kenya

Worth the price and a good memory in first Africa trip
We were upset when there was no brochure sent after the reservation confirmation. However it turned out a good one-week safari trip. First of all I like the efforts they help us arrange the routine while we want to go Hell’s Gate for a walk instead of watching the rhinos. And the traffic was tough and took longer time than I was expected, but washroom, lunch hours were secure. James was the driver and guide, I think he tried best to let us see the big5 such as lions and elephants both in masai and Amboseli while not disturbing those animals too much like some of the drivers kept turning on the engine when animals was so close. It will be more than better if the staff could prepare a brochure with more detailed schedule and locations - actually I cannot well remember some of the specific names of locations or animals.
Straight forward and clear
Special shout-out to Moses, who helped me book the whole trip — fast responses and great value for money!
The only thing I would have hoped for was a clearer itinerary throughout the trip. Information about the following day, including the starting time and schedule, was often only announced the night before when we were being dropped off at the hotel, which honestly felt a little uncomfortable and uncertain.
Especially when it came to the safaris, things sometimes seemed to end quite randomly, which made me wonder whether the schedule was really the best setup — for example, entering the park after 9:30 a.m., leaving before dawn, or doing game drives during the hottest hours of the day when even the zebras seemed to be hiding!
That said, I would definitely recommend this trip to my friends. It was such a lovely experience, and we saw everything we could have dreamed of! A special thanks as well to our reliable guide, James, who always made sure we were okay and well taken care of throughout the trip.

Great
We just finished an incredible 7-day family safari with Jocky Tours, covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. Our guide, Francis, was exceptional from start to finish! He was extremely patient, kind, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our family's needs. Thanks to his great eyes and deep understanding of the wildlife, we had an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

Review of Francis
We spent about a week with Francis during our trip to Kenya, and we had a really great experience. Francis was very kind, patient, and friendly throughout the whole trip. He always made sure we were comfortable and having a good time.
During the trip, we visited different places in Kenya, including the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and we saw lots of animals on safari. Francis helped us find the animals and taught us interesting things about them. It was really fun traveling with him and learning about Kenya and the places we visited.
We really enjoyed our time with Francis and would definitely recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Kenya. He was an excellent guide and a very nice person, and he made our trip a special and memorable experience.
