Amazing
African safaris had always been on our travel list, but we were unsure it would be worth the cost. We were wrong! Our only regret is not going on safari earlier.
We chose Jocky tours and safaris because they were highly recommended by friends of ours including incredible reviews on safaribookings and google, they were also so flexible in designing our itinerary. We wanted to spend a few days in Kenya, to see Masai Mara. Jocky tours and safaris and in specific Moureen was able to make our nice itinerary.. Our guide Francis Faru was wonderful, especially when we wanted alot to be done on the 1st day .
As for our accommodations, each of us had our own vision of how each day would end. Would it be: a refreshing dip in the pool? A cool drink and a good meal? A campfire with other travelers? Jocky made sure we would all be happy. And we were. Our accommodations were mostly tented camps, luxurious and comfy.
But as anyone could guess, the game drives were the real main features. Watching the animals living their daily lives in their own natural world was incredible. We witnessed giraffes snacking on high tree limbs, families of elephants strolling along with babies at their side, prides of lions lounging in the tall grass, gazelles frolicking, cheetahs stalking, And I cannot forget to mention all the other animals: hippos, alligators, cape buffalo, zebras, baboons, hyenas, warthogs, and thousands of birds. We saw them all and more. And all of it was amid the great green expanse of open plains and savannahs (it was May ). Truly magical!
It was all made possible by Moureen from Jocky tours and our fantastic, brilliant guide Francis . I cannot say enough about Francis . His knowledge of Kenya 🇰🇪 , of the animals and their habits is unbelievable, not to mention the delicious picnics he brought and his ability to know the perfect place to park the Land Rover for a great photo. Between the five of us, we have over 5,000 photos – after we deleted the duplicates and fuzzy ones. Francis had a knack of making every game drive into a new day of discovery and insight into the natural world of Kenya
As for tips for travelers to Kenya , we came prepared for mosquitoes, cold nights and hot days. However, perhaps because it was May , we experienced no mosquitoes, warm days (ok, hot in the direct sun) and pleasant evenings. We did use our warm clothes in the evenings at the Masai Mara , which was nippy due to the altitude. So, my best and only real tip is to let Jocky tours do your planning and let their guides take care of the rest…
We say a big thank you to Jocky tours , we say a big thank you to Moureen our planner and a big thank you to our big master Francis . We shall come back

Muhwezi shiver was very friendly and personable. Speaks great English and was very informative.
Our safaris took us to see the gorillas and golden monkeys, both were great experiences and got us up close and personal. Accommodations were very nice with clean rooms and a variety of meal options.

Edwin organized an excellent experience to Massai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar
We booked a trip to the Massai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar. I can't say enough about how great this trip was. Edwin did an excellent job organizing and coordinating our itinerary. Accommodations, service, and food were fabulous. People were very friendly and went out of their way to make this experience unforgettable. Our safari guide/driver Gideon. was very flexible and made sure we saw (The Big 5). He was the best guide driver we could ask for. He made our experience amazing: good driver, great at spotting animals from afar, and very knowledgeable about nature. Also a shout out to George (our safari guide/driver with Spirit of Kenya) for our Massai Mara safari. He also went out of his way to make our experience the best with including a visit to the Massai village.

Special experience across various Kenyan national parks
I can honestly not be more happy with our choice in Pebble! During the entire process, Carol assisted us and was very quick to respond. Whatever inquiry we had, no matter the time, we received a timely answer. The planning process was smooth, and everything was as we have wished for. Special thanks also to the most amazing guide Joseph, who probably enjoyed the animal kingdom of beautiful Kenya even more than us. He was so knowledgeable and accomodating that each game drive felt like a whole safari trip in and of itself. Thank you so much to everyone involved!

Thank you to our guide Peter Kapino for this 4-day tour. It was incredible!
I didn't expect to see so many animals (rhino, elephant, giraffe, cheetah, leopard, hippo...). He was able to answer all our questions.
We are delighted to have chosen Axis Africa.
The accommodations were great, and the food was too.
I highly recommend it.

Amazing
I had an amazing experience with Axis Safari. Everything was very well organized, professional, and friendly from start to finish. Our guide, Peter Kapino, was absolutely excellen, super informative, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer our questions. He truly went above and beyond during the safari and did everything he could to help us spot a leopard, which made the experience even more exciting and unforgettable. His passion for wildlife and dedication to giving us the best experience really stood out. We learned so much and felt very well taken care of throughout the trip. I would highly recommend Axis Safari and especially Peter Kapino to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure!
