Kindness, flexibility and nature knowledge
I did a 4 day mara safari. Rita was very helpful and accommodating with my schedule and my arrangements. The admin communication is very clear since the beginning. Rogers was a great guide these days. He knows nature very well and was always willing to solve our questions and needs. He also consult with us if it was ok to move on, everytime, and I find that nice for a Safari.

An amazing & adventurous vacation.
Maggie made booking the safari & all the organization beforehand super easy. She was always quick to answer & very accomodating.
Ken, our safari guide & driver, was absolutely AMAZING. He was very professional, knowledgeable & fun.
We booked the 6-day budget safari (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli) & it was the most amazing vacation we ever had.

Exceptional!
3-day, 2 Nights Maasai Mara Safari (Royal River Zebra Camp)
Communication: Communication with Lewis was mostly easy, reliable and fairly quick. He accommodated all of my requests without issues. We even got a complementary visit to the Giraffe Center.
Transport: We were taken to Mara by a normal car with a kind and friendly driver (Nicholas), we didn't know any details beforehand. He was an excellent driver but the roads to Mara are horrible - the ride took ages and it was quite exhausting; I would highly recommend taking the 4x4 wheel jeep! On the way back we were taken with the Safari Jeep with our guide and the difference was extreme (took us 2h less).
Guide: Our guide Davis was exceptional! Funny, clever, kind and highly competent! He easily accommodated all of our wishes (safari times, animals we liked to see) and showed us awesome hidden gems. He could answer all of our questions, always tried to get us the best spots at crowded places and communicated a lot with other guides and rangers to offer us a variety of sightings. We saw all of the animals imaginable (Leopard, Cheetah, Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Hippos, Crocodiles...) - only one missing was a Rhino which is very hard to find. We even did a short walking tour with a separate guide on the Mara River to see the Hippo Families and the crocodiles up close. Sunrise and Sunset game drives were incredible! On our way back to Nairobi we even stoped to have some Nyama Choma for lunch. We got along quite very well, it nearly felt like traveling with a friend! :)
Accommodation: We booked Zebra Plains Mara Camp which belongs to a company that has 8 different camps in close proximity. However, we were upgraded to Royal River Zebra Camp - it was unbelievable. This camp only hosts 25 people in total and is a true gem. Its close to a river so we also had the chance to spot animals right from the lodge. We saw a buffalo sleeping and a hippo grassing in the morning. We sadly missed the giraffes and the cheetah because we were out on a drive. We had an incredible "room" (it was basically an apartment). Spacious, calm, clean - an outdoor bathtub, an outdoor shower, a small cabana. The staff was also amazing - chatty, helpful and friendly at all times. Food is a set menu but there is a variety of different options and they were all very tasty!
Overall we couldn't be happier!!

Fantastic safari! Ki Ki Tu was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly professional throughout.
We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience. Our guide, Ki Ki Tu, deserves special recognition. We built a great friendship during our journey, learned so much from him, and shared countless laughs along the way. His knowledge, professionalism, and warm personality made the trip even more memorable.
Although the journey involved long drives, we hardly noticed the time passing because we were enjoying every moment. The safari was exactly what we had imagined and hoped for.
All of our accommodations were comfortable, well-organized, and exceeded our expectations. We did not encounter any problems during our stay.
On the first day of our trip, we experienced a misunderstanding with another tour company. However, the Kenyan people we met were incredibly helpful and quickly arranged an alternative plan for us. Thanks to their efficiency and kindness, we were able to continue our journey without losing valuable time.
What impressed us even more was that the original company personally delivered our deposit refund all the way from Nairobi to our accommodation in Maasai Mara and sincerely apologized for the inconvenience. Their honesty, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction genuinely surprised and impressed us.
The kindness and hospitality of the Kenyan people made a lasting impression on us. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy at least once.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks once again to Jocky Tours and Safaris and especially to our guide, Ki Ki Tu, for making this trip so special. A fantastic company with outstanding staff. We highly recommend them.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience, Perfectly Organized
Our 5-day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti was absolutely incredible and unforgettable.
We would especially like to thank our guides, who made this trip perfect from start to finish. Their professionalism, extensive knowledge of the wildlife and environment, and genuine passion for what they do were truly exceptional. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to see an incredible variety of animals, including the famous Big Five, which exceeded all of our expectations.
Beyond the amazing wildlife sightings, our guides constantly cared about our well-being and comfort. They were always attentive to our needs, happy to answer our questions, and made sure we enjoyed every moment of the safari.
The organization was flawless. Everything was perfectly planned and coordinated, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience without worrying about a thing. Every day was filled with unique moments, spectacular landscapes, and unforgettable encounters with wildlife.
We highly recommend this safari and these guides to anyone looking for an authentic and extraordinary African adventure. They made this journey a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget. Thank you so much for making a dream come true!

Amazing service and such kind people
Patricia the organizer was an absolute Jem! She went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met and even when we forgot our yellow fever cards and had to get the mailed to Kenya she went above and beyond to go to dhl and pick it up personally! Her recommendations and choices of our tour and hotels were great. Nick was a great driver in Nairobi who picked us up a t the airport and took us to the argyle hotel the first night which was an amazing hotel.
We started with two days in Masai Mara where we were picked up by our driver Peter! He was amazing and the best driver we had super knowledgeable and took us to all the right places in the Mara to see the animals and even tracked down a leopard one of the rarest animals you can see in Mara! Can’t say enough good things about Peter. Our stay in the Mara was at the Ashnil Mara camp which was all inclusive and the tented luxury facilities were impeccable this was our favorite place to stay the food was great and all the people working there were so friendly and hospitable.
Our next stop was amboseli national park where we were greeted by Hassan as our driver who was also very knowledgeable and the amboseli Serena lodge was also great.
I can’t say enough about we tours everyone from the driver nick at Nairobi to the drivers in the camp Peter and Hassan and Patricia our organizer were just phenomenal. This was our first and most memorable safari experience and we will definitely recommend this team for our friends and family and will definatley be doing another safari with this group again! Thank you all!

Professional, well-organized, and highly recommended
I had an amazing 12-day tour through Namibia and would highly recommend it. The itinerary was very well planned and included all the major highlights that first-time visitors to Namibia should experience. Traveling by car across the country was a fantastic way to explore Namibia's breathtaking landscapes and diverse scenery.
A special thanks goes to the tour guide, who was knowledgeable, funny, and very easy-going. His relaxed attitude and great sense of humor made the whole experience even more enjoyable and memorable.
Overall, the tour offered a perfect combination of adventure, stunning nature, and unforgettable experiences. As a solo traveler, I always felt comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely book with this tour operator again.
