5 star experience and 5 star guide (Venance)
We had the most amazing 5 day guided safari with African Big Cat Safaris. Our guide Venance made the experience, totally professional with impressive knowledge of the wildlife and habitats and exceptional eyesight. Venance managed the whole trip and led us to see the big five, cheetahs, and black and a white rhino. I cannot recommend this company enough to anyone looking for a safari trip, 5 star guide, 5 star service and a 5 star experience. We especially loved the Zuri camp accommodation in the Serengeti which had great food, amazing rooms and the staff were brilliant.

Incredible
Gerald, and everyone else involved with the tour helped us have the best experience. We asked for lions on the first day and he made sure we saw so many. The drive was exciting but also very safe, we felt very comfortable. Gerald is also very knowledgeable about the whole park and all the animals, so I could find the answer to any question I had. I would highly recommend.

Quality employees results in a quality product.
We have traveled extensively, but this was our first time on a safari. Lisa and Nadine were awesome from the get go!! Trust is built on prompt and professional replies. Lisa communicated during the week and over the weekends from start to finish. We looked at two other tour operators. Neither one responded to us as timely as Lisa. She asked, then listened to what we were looking for. She then gave her recommendations. We gave her a “10” on the two lodges she booked us in. The hotels in Cape Town in the beginning and Johannesburg at the end were in great locations and we felt safe at all times. Do not try booking hotels in these locations on your own. Nadine then stepped in and confirmed our travel arrangements (two in country flights) and had our seven transfers all waiting on us. She was aware when we landed and confirmed the drivers name. Talk about a felling of trust knowing someone was there for us. Lisa and Nadine are “can do” and “will do” people. An awesome tour for the money! Again thanks to Lisa, Nadine, and African Family Safaris.

Exceptional safari with jockey- perfectly organized and led by a truly outstanding guides 5/5
Our 5-night (6 days) safari with Jocky tours and Safaris was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the entire experience was professional, smooth, and thoughtfully designed.
Flawless Planning and Communication
Our consultant understood exactly what we were looking for — a well-paced, comfortable safari with beautiful camps and strong wildlife opportunities, but without feeling rushed or exhausted. She translated our preferences into a perfectly structured itinerary.
All 3 camps were stunning, comfortable, and very well chosen. The routing was logical, the transitions were seamless, and at no point did we feel fatigued by long drives or unnecessary backtracking. Everything felt balanced and intentional. The logistics throughout the journey were handled effortlessly.
The Hidden Gem: Our Guides, James and Francis
What elevated this safari from excellent to unforgettable was our guides, Francis and James
With over 5 years (James )and 15 years (Francis ) of experience — their depth of knowledge was interesting.
Francis is calm, respectful of nature, and deeply intuitive in the field. He doesn’t just drive around looking for animals — he reads the landscape. By observing tracks, bird movements, alarm calls, and subtle environmental signs, he anticipates where wildlife might appear. His instincts are remarkable.
He truly has eagle eyes — spotting animals in the distance without binoculars when the rest of us would see nothing. Thanks to them, we saw everything we had hoped to see, including several breathtaking predator hunting moments. Even more impressive, they always positioned the vehicle at the perfect angle for viewing and photography, without disturbing natural behavior.
Extraordinary Knowledge and Professionalism
Francis knowledge goes far beyond the Big Five. He recognizes nearly every bird species we encountered in Amboseli — which makes sense, as he even keeps a dedicated bird reference book in the vehicle. His passion for wildlife is genuine, We saw other vehicles getting stuck, but not once did we. Both guides driving judgment and control in difficult terrain were impressive and reassuring.
Every morning, despite mud/ dusty and long drives, the vehicles were clean and ready. Hot lunches were prepared daily, and we felt consistently well cared for.
The last guide (Francis ) is clearly respected among other guides and was always supportive and professional on the radio. His humility, experience, and kindness made a lasting impression on us.
Final Thoughts
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Francis as our guide on the last few days , He is truly a hidden gem within Jocky — and if you have the opportunity to request him, do so without hesitation.
Jocky organized a beautiful safari. Francis and James made it unforgettable.

Extremely helpfull and very nice people
We loved everything about our trip to Rwanda with Hermosa life tours. Our trip to Rwanda set out in order to get a once in a lifetime experience seeing the world famous mountain gorillas and with the help of Hermosa life tours we were able to do just this. From arranging the needed permits, helping us getting the right documents and vaccinations to enter the country or just helping with questions in general. One of the clearest examples I can give of their helpfulness was when my mother got foodpoisoning on the day of the hike to the mountain gorillas. Normally, this would mean bye permit(1500$) and bye chance to see the mountain gorillas unless you want to pay for the permit again. However, Hermosa went above and beyond driving us to various hospitals and clinics until we finally found a doctor that would sign for the fact that my mom was sick. Later, after some fighting with park officials and showing the sick note from the doctor Hermosa was able to send my mother up the next day to see these majestic creatures without us having to pay for anotherr permit. And this was just one example of the amazing service they had provided througout the few days that we stayed with them.

Jocky tours and the two guides Francis and James were amazing
We were incredibly lucky to have Francis/james as our guides during our safari, and we honestly could not have asked for a better experience.
From the very first moment we met them, they were friendly, welcoming, polite and professional. They immediately made us feel comfortable and throughout the entire safari they constantly looked after the group. They were always thinking ahead, making sure we were comfortable, had everything we needed and were enjoying ourselves.
One thing we especially appreciated was Francis communication. Francis always kept us informed about what was happening and what to expect next. Whether he was collecting park permits, planning the next game drive, driving to a new destination or organising lunch, he continuously explained the plan and what we were going to do. This made us feel relaxed, informed and completely taken care of throughout the safari.
His knowledge of the wildlife, nature and parks was outstanding. He shared fascinating information about animal behaviour and answered every question with patience and enthusiasm. We learned so much from him during our Amboseli part.
What truly impressed us was both Francis and James incredible ability to spot animals. Thanks to Francis/james we experienced sightings that we never imagined we would see. During our safari we saw all of the Big Five, including a leopard and the rare black rhino. We also saw a cheetah, lions, lions eating , elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, countless antelopes and many beautiful bird species.
Some moments were simply unforgettable. We had lions , cheetah and a leopard right next to our jeep, watched elephants feeding only a few metres away and witnessed incredible wildlife encounters throughout the trip. Many of these sightings would never have happened without Francis and James sharp eyes, experience and dedication.
Beyond being an excellent guide, Francis is simply a wonderful person. He is kind, respectful, patient, funny and genuinely passionate about his work. It never felt like he was just doing a job. It felt like he truly wanted us to have the best safari experience possible.
We would also like to compliment jocky Safaris on the accommodations. Every single stay exceeded our expectations. Lenchada camp was fantastic, with beautiful tents , excellent food and incredibly friendly staff. Buraha Zenoni Nakuru experience was absolutely magical, Our final accommodation which was Mountain View amboseli was equally impressive and provided the perfect ending to an unforgettable safari.
What surprised us most was how much comfort and service we received throughout the entire trip. The staff at every accommodation were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. You truly receive far more than you expect.
If you are lucky enough to have Francis as your guide, you are in the very best hands. He is a true professional, an exceptional wildlife guide and a wonderful ambassador for Kenya .
Thank you Jocky , James and Francis , for the memories, the knowledge, the laughs and the adventure. We will never forget this safari.
