Dickson was absolutely amazing. He was kind, knowledgable of the park, and fun to ride with!
My boyfriend and I did a 3d/2n private Masai Mara Safari tour. We threw together this trip last minute and received helpful and quick responses to our emails ([email protected]). Our tour guide was Dickson, and we can’t stop talking about him, he was amazing!! He was always very kind, helpful, knowledgeable of the park (and where to go to see specific animals)! We really enjoyed our conversations and time spent with Dickson…you’d be lucky to have him as your guide :)
The 4.5-5 hour drive over to the Mara wasn’t bad as we stopped at shops and the scenery in Kenya is immaculate. Once we arrived we went on a 2.5 hr game drive where we saw zebras, giraffes, buffalo, lions, and even a cheetah! The following day we were on a drive from 6:45am-4pm. This day was absolutely amazing. We saw every animal possible besides a rhino, two lion kills, and a bunch of elephants. Even with the rainfall in the afternoon we were able to see a bunch of stuff! Overall, we are extremely happy with our decision on Jocky Safaris…when you book ask for Dickson :)

Great service from start to finish
Booked a 4 day tour quite last minute. Spurfowl was super responsive and had it all booked and ready to go quickly. Ruben was our driver - super friendly, safe driving, found all the animals! Visited Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and 2 days in Masai Mara. Just right for my teens and me. Accommodations are as described - comfortable rooms, varied quality of food, always friendly staff. Can highly recommend Spurfowl and Ruben.

An unforgettable, smooth trip.
Collins planed most of our stay in Zambia, all tailored to our preferences and wishes. What he promised is what he delivered and he would often go the extra mile to ensure a great experience for us. The lodges and activities he recommended were all amazing, memories for life. Fair prices, professional staff, always on time, no problems or complications.
Would definitely plan our next visit to Zambia with him again!

Kerry’s fantastic and helped make my trip of a lifetime come true!
From my first email to Pembury Tours over a span of 11 months, Kerry has always been incredibly courteous, responsive and accommodating. I had very specific game reserves in mind while planning a trip to Sabi Sand in S. Africa + Cape Town, and Kerry/Pembury was the only travel agent who was willing to work with my suggestion & budget instead of highly recommending other reserves/location. During the trip on a Saturday, my husband accidentally dropped his phone in the airport transport’s car, and Kerry quickly helped us to contact the driver to retrieve the phone. I would highly recommend Kerry and appreciate all of her help in making this incredible trip come true.

Fortunately not too popular yet. We were two of very few tourists in amazing and beautiful places.
We went during the green season, at the end of the rainy season. Lovely weather, very few tourists, a lot of wildlife easy to spot if you are with an experienced guide. Unfortunately some roads were still flooded and closed, but it didnt impact hugely our plans. We visited Kafue National Park (highly recommend Nanzhila Lodge) and Livingstone. It was perfect!

Welcoming and beautiful.
Our driver Yassin from Hyvens was so knowledgeable and accomodating. We were travelling with three children and the itinerary was perfect. All hotels were fabulous with excellent rooms, food and service. The whole experience was memorable and eye opening. The highlight was the morning sighting of a hunt on an early safari.

great company for last minute trip - solo travelers
Jockey customized my tour for me on a days' notice. I stayed at Jambo Mara Lodge and LOVED IT! Jimmy, our driver was awesome and made sure we saw all the animals you can expect to see in Kenya (Rhinos, Hippos, Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Giraffes, crocs, etc). The guides communicate a lot in the radio. Once one of them finds a certain animal (lions, leopards, hyenas, etc) they are able to tell each other where to go, so everyone gets to see it. This makes it a bit crowded around the felines (lots of cars circling them - a bit disappointing to me). I also went to Masai Mara on low season (rainy days) and various groups were driving little mini-vans and getting stuck on mud. We never got stuck and also ended up helping others to be "un-stuck". The camaraderie between the guides was cool. Lake Nakuru was nicer to me. The radio was kept off and we just drove around finding the animal on our own. Jimmy was really good at spotting them, even from far. It was much nicer, quiet and enjoyable being pretty much the only ones around some of those magnificent creatures.
