An Unforgettable Safari with John Walter – Highly Recommend!
We just finished a three-day safari in the Masai Mara and honestly, it was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had – all thanks to our amazing guide, John Walter.
From the moment we met him, John was so friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He knew exactly where to go to find the animals, and his ability to spot them from what felt like miles away was seriously impressive!
Thanks to John, we had the chance to see a pride of lions up close many times – including a few cubs which was such a special moment. He also found a beautiful herd of elephants at a watering hole. And one of the absolute highlights? Watching a cheetah gracefully cross the national park and seeing a leopard sleeping in the tree- something we’ll never forget!
John made every drive feel exciting, and we always felt safe, well-informed, and totally looked after. He was patient with our endless questions and shared so much about the wildlife, the landscape, and the culture of the area.
If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, we couldn’t recommend John Walter enough. He truly made this experience unforgettable, and we’re so grateful to have had him as our guide!

Unforgettable Safari with John Walter – Highly Recommend!
We had such an incredible experience in the Masai Mara with John Walter from Jockey Tours. From the start, he made us feel completely at ease – he’s professional, friendly, and knows the reserve inside out.
Thanks to him, we saw everything we could have hoped for and more – lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, hyenas, and even a leopard lounging in a tree. He has a real talent for spotting animals, even from a distance, and always made sure we were in the best position for viewing (and photos!).
What made the experience even better was how much he shared along the way – little facts, stories, and insights about the animals and the area that you wouldn’t get from a guidebook. His passion really came through, and it made every drive that much more special.
We honestly had such a positive experience and would recommend John and Jockey Tours to anyone planning a trip to the Mara. It was a proper once-in-a-lifetime trip, and a huge part of that was down to having such a great guide.

Absolutely recommendable
The tour was very well organized and our guide was fantastic. We had a 2-days-safari at the national parks in Tarangire and Ngorogoro. We passed the night at a beautiful lodge in the mountains with a gorgeous view.

Petrus is a great tour guide, amazing sense of humor
Everything went as described in the previous information. Punctual pick up/drop off. Safe drivers. And our tour guide Petrus couldn’t been better: he knows about animals and do everything to have the chance to see all of them. One detail: can be COLD in this time of the year so be sure to come well prepared

Excellent communication and responsiveness
I don’t have enough wonderful things to say about Mo Afrika and Rishen. Everytime I had a question, regardless of the day of the week or time of the day, I got an almost immediate response. The lodges we stayed at were incredible. Safari, food, drinks, hospitality. All 10/10 recommend.

Amazing Safari Experience
Our family of three contacted Axis Africa (among others) for guidance and help in planning an 8 day safari in Kenya. Cynthia was very responsive, patient, helpful and detailed in her emails with itineraries, addressing questions, making changes, etc all without any pressure which was nice.
Once we decided on a plan, we had a full itinerary, step by step, from arrival until departure including all logistics and everything worked out as planned. Cynthia kept touching base with us during our trip and we got to meet her and the team on our last day.
Our experiences during the safari were nothing short of incredible, as we got to see a variety of animals up close and observe how different species interacted with each other. Our driver Marcus was very knowledgeable about African wildlife, and was able to identify all the animals we encountered. He was constantly looking for animals to show us and was kind enough to move the vehicle so we could take better photos.
Our tour exceeded expectations, and we are grateful to Axis Africa for all the work they did to make our trip special.

Rodger is really kind, energetic and caring!!
This is our first Safari and my friend recommended Jockey to me. It was a very impressive experience to us. Our guide, Rodger, made the experience truly exceptional. His knowledge of the local wildlife, culture, and history was remarkable. Every time we went out to spot animals, Rodger ensured we had the best viewing spots and patiently answered all of our questions. Also, he took care of us very well. We appreciate that we could have him as our guide！

Ernest was amazing!
We had a 6 day safari including Tarangerie/Serengeti and Ngorogoro.
Each day Ernest taught us something different about the ecosystems and the animals within-even some Swahili lessons. The best guide. The route was planned well and we were lucky enough to see the big 5, small 5 and the ugly 5 thanks to Ernest’s eagle eyes.
Our guide, Ernest has a natural charm to make all guests feel comfortable and relaxed. Whilst being a highly knowledgeable guide. We were very lucky and cannot recommend Ernest enough-we will be returning with friends thanks to Ernest.
Suricata boma lodge and Serengeti safari haven were incredible sites. Made to feel very welcome and safe-even with the nighttime visit of buffalo’s! The food was good and the facilities plentiful. We would definitely recommend staying here
Food on the safari was basic, rice and chicken/fish each day followed by a piece of fruit. Simple food, could be improved for mid/luxury budgets. Having dinner in the bush was a wonderful experience.
Unfortunately the Maasai tribe experience was quite intimidating when going alone/as a couple, we would recommend groups only. With hindsight we wouldn’t have done this part of our chosen package. We did not feel welcome/overly comfortable. This is the only ‘matata’ of our trip.
In summary a wonderful safari, we feel very lucky to have had Ernest as our guide
