Very knowledgeable about the parks and animals, patiently answered questions & went above and beyond
The tour was great! Clean jeeps, good driving, knowledgeable guides. The food wasn’t the best, all the served meals were the same and the box lunches included chicken that had been sitting in a car for 6 hours. At the Masai Mara camp the food was uncovered with flys swarming around and at one point a beetle was observed crawling in the rice.

Lovely guide Francis and great views of animals!
I had a fantastic safari experience with Jockey Tours, and a huge part of that was thanks to our driver and guide, Francis. He was incredibly well organized, friendly, and always willing to help with anything we needed throughout the trip. Francis is also an excellent safari driver and guide. He has an amazing eye for spotting wildlife and consistently managed to position the vehicle so we had very close views and great photo opportunities. It really felt like we were in the best possible place for every sighting.
We chose the camping option, which overall was a great experience and a fun way to do the safari. The only downside was the food at the Masai Mara camp, which unfortunately was quite awful. Aside from that, everything else about the trip was wonderful.
Francis truly made the safari memorable, and I would absolutely recommend Jockey Tours to anyone considering a safari, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Francis as your guide.

Amazing organization for a 5 days safari trip to Kenya
I only had 6 days in Kenya and wanted to book a full tour for Massai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli parks. Due to the short time, I contacted many different operators and Raibon was the only one that was willing to adapt the tour to fit my agenda. The organization was impeccable. The tours happened on time and I got a daily assistance from the operator. Everything went exactly as expected and the experience will be forever in my mind. I will highly recommend the agency to my colleagues who are also planning to go to Kenya. Thank you very much for all the assistance. 10 out of 10.
Excellent service providers
We were a group of 7 senior managers from Dar-es-Salaam Independent School. After our training we had Damas our tour guide and driver come pick us up and drive us first to Manyara Lodge then to Ngorongoro crator. He is such a lovely man, he explains all important parts of the trip. Very knowledgeable. We learnt much about the birds found in the area Manyara and Ngorongoro. His car was packed with snacks so we never felt hungry we munched all the way!! Quite a funny guy he is, he would inject some jokes here and there so we were jolly giggling most of the time.
In the crater he drove carefully and stopped whenever there was an an

Provided a great and well organized safari experience.
I had a wonderful safari experience visiting the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The wildlife and scenery were incredible, and both parks offered unforgettable moments.
Our tour guide, Francis, was excellent—very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and great at getting right to the animals. He truly made the trip special and helped us get the most out of every game drive.
The lodgings were comfortable and nice. The only downside was the food at the Lenchada tourist camp, which wasn’t very good and seemed to be reheated from earlier in the day.
Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend it, especially with Francis as our guide.

The best safari experience with knowledgable and friendly guide.
We had an amazing time on safari with Francis who was a great driver and knew all the best spots to stop. Very flexible with the itinerary and great communication with Alekes Safaris made this fantastic trip very easy to plan. Highly recommended.

Great safari!
I recently went on a safari in Kenya and overall had a great experience. Our guide, Francis, truly made the trip exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and always went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Francis worked hard to ensure we saw as many animals as possible and was excellent at spotting wildlife and positioning the vehicle so everyone could get a great view. His enthusiasm and professionalism really enhanced the entire experience.
The accommodations throughout the trip were generally nice, though fairly basic, which is to be expected on a safari. Most places were comfortable and suited the adventure-style nature of the trip.
However, the food at Lenchada Tourist Camp was unfortunately quite disappointing compared to the rest of the experience. While the location itself was convenient for the Maasai Mara, the meals there were not very good and could definitely be improved.
Overall, it was an unforgettable safari and I’m very grateful to have had Francis as our guide. His dedication and positive attitude made the trip special, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Israel is caring, considerate and great spotter!
On my first trip to Tanzania I went on two Safaris. My experience w this tour group was amazing! Professional and caring are just two words to describe this company and the leaders who run it.
We had an orientation the day before. Our driver was fantastic and also a great spotter! Israel was our guide and did a great job finding animals. He was full of information about the park and the wildlife we encountered. I will be back in Tanzania next year and will definitely hire this company for any and all expeditions and tours.
