Unforgettable Safari Experience with Francis at Masai Mara
Our three-day safari in the Masai Mara with Francis from Jocky Tours was an absolute dream come true, deserving nothing less than a five-star rating. From the moment we embarked on our adventure, Francis impressed us with his exceptional driving skills, navigating the rough terrains of the park with ease and ensuring our journey was as smooth as possible. His resourcefulness was evident in every aspect of our trip, from finding the perfect spots for wildlife sightings to addressing any unexpected challenges that arose.
What truly set Francis apart was his unparalleled knowledge of nature, the Masai Mara, and its inhabitants. His passion for wildlife was contagious, and he shared fascinating insights about each species we encountered, enriching our understanding and appreciation of the natural world. Among the highlights were elephants, giraffes, zebras, and both male and female lions, alongside many more. His friendliness and approachable demeanor made us feel comfortable and welcome, creating an atmosphere where all questions were encouraged, adding depth to our safari experience.
The schedule Francis curated for our safari was nothing short of perfect. Remarkably, within the first few hours of our initial game drive, we had already spotted an incredible variety of wildlife, thanks to Francis’s keen eye and expertise in tracking. Among the unforgettable moments was witnessing two female lions embarking on a hunt, showcasing the raw beauty and thrill of nature at its most primal.
His ability to spot these magnificent creatures from afar and navigate to strategic locations ensured that our sightings included not just the usual suspects but also rare glimpses of cheetahs and a leopard, a testament to his skill and deep understanding of the animals’ habitats and behaviors.
Beyond the wildlife, Francis’s choices of routes took us through some of the most breathtaking landscapes the Masai Mara has to offer, allowing us to witness the beauty and diversity of the park’s ecosystems. Each day was filled with awe and wonder, making our safari experience not just a series of animal sightings but a profound journey through the heart of Africa’s wilderness.
In conclusion, our safari with Francis from Jocky Tours was an extraordinary adventure that exceeded all our expectations. His professionalism, expertise, and warmth made our trip unforgettable. For anyone looking to explore the Masai Mara, Francis comes highly recommended as a guide who will not only ensure you see all the marvels of the park but who will also leave you with a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

Excellent Customer Service
I enjoyed every bit of my Kenya and Tanzania safari especially the ngorongoro crater. It's unforgettable. I'm so grateful to Kentau especially Dominic and his staff. The planning and coordination of my tour was professionally done. There were minor changes to my itinerary from the original one but nothing unsatisfactory and the communication was brilliant all through. I highly recommend Kentau Safaris. I will plan my hiking adventure with them next time.

Professional, always on time, Great experience
We took a 5 days safari tour with Jocky and our driver was Jimmy. He was extremely helpful and guided us through Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha. He had a great knowledge about animals and we have seen all we could imagine to see. The trip was safe, Jimmy was always on time and everything was organized well.
Additionally I’d like to mention that one of us got really sick during the trip and we had to go to the hospital. Jimmy not only helped us finding it but also waited for us when we were inside. I would like to express our gratitude to him.

Our tour operator was thoughtful, unique and adaptable to our preferences.
What can I say about Alpine Chat! Communication right out of the gate was excellent. Erick personalized our trip to fit the time, budget and experience we were looking for. The 3 day, 2 night trip to Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti exceeded any expectations we might have had. John lead our tour and the details and thoughtfulness was fueled by his warmth and passion for bringing a world class experience to his clients. Lunch with the hippos, taking the road less traveled and not getting caught up in a zoo of safari jeeps were two examples. I would recommend Alpine Chat and John to anyone interested in a fun loving group who puts the client first at every turn of the corner! Thank you John, Erick and the Alpine Chat Team!

High CP value!
The guide is good, nice to communicate with and very helpful ( even I borrow money from him many time due to the lack of cash). Overall the journey is very worth it.

Very good quality for a fair price!
The whole experience was very well-organized. Our guide really made an effort to show us as much as possible. We also saw rhinos. It's worth wearing - or bringing along - higher boots for the walk to see them. The food was deliciously prepared and there was plenty of it. We recommend everything.

Confident and stress free experience
We booked a gorilla trek in Volcanoes national park with Makario Safaris from the UK. This included transport from Kigali to the excellent Five Volcanoes boutique hotel, a gorilla trek and onward transport to lake Kivu. Given the high cost of trekking permits and bad experience of some travellers with other companies, we wanted to book with a reliable agent. Marario Safaris stood out and our confidence grew with our communication with their director, Mwake Utange. We received tailored quotation with detailed itinerary, confirmation and copies of our trekking permits, contact details of our driver and Makario managers in the event of any problems. Nothing was too much trouble. As a result we have had a stress free lifetime experience, with everything taken care of for us at each part of our journey. We wholeheartedly recommend Makario Safaris as a professional, friendly and reliable agent.
