Amazing experience
I had a great experience with Geeman. He is very kind, patient, and does his job exceptionally well. Geeman went above and beyond to make sure we got to see all of the Big Five. He answered all of our questions, from the names of trees and questions about the Maasai people to what different animals eat.
He has so much knowledge to share, and I would absolutely recommend going on a tour with him and Jocky Tours. We had an amazing experience!

Papa Johns - fun tour guide
For our tour guide Papa Johns
We had a really great experience with Papa Johns. He was kind, funny, knowledgeable, and made the game drives genuinely enjoyable. He shared lots of interesting facts along the way and was always attentive to what the group needed, whether that meant stopping for a washroom break, slowing down for photos, or spending more time looking for a particular animal.
What I appreciated most was how much effort he put into helping us see the animals we were hoping for. He really takes his job seriously and you can tell he wants his guests to have a good experience. We weren’t able to spot a leopard on our first day, and he seemed genuinely sad for us, but the next day we finally found one and he did his best to position the vehicle so everyone could get a good view.
Overall, he was very friendly, patient, hardworking, and fun to be around. I had a great time and would definitely recommend him!

Perfect guide
Elias was our guide during the 5 days that lasted the experience. He was always caring of us and was the best driver and guide that we could ever dream of.
They helped us with the delay in our flight and offered alternatives to make our experience the best.
Thank you for all Elias and Mike!

very attentive
You're assigned a very attentive person who ensures all your expectations are met. Although you usually don't need to contact them because the driver is also very attentive.

Rastaman the best
The tour was great, but what makes it even better is the people. The driver, Rastaman, is the best; he knows how to get the best spots on the safari. The cook, Salim, is like Hakuna Matata; he understands me.

The best people,caring,professional and knowledgeable I’ve met in a long time
Before I got to Kenya I felt kind of lost due to the problems with my connecting flight
After arriving at the airport and getting picked up by Mohammed I instantly felt better
Mohammed has a way to make people feel good, also the way he interacts with people is unsurpassed
I don’t usually recommend anyone to anyone but after meeting Mohammed I have to say that I recommend axis and Mohammed (PAPI CHULO)
As knowledgeable and professional as he is he earned the title of “PAPI CHULO“
I truly recommend requesting him as your guide
As a business man that demands 200 % from my people I can say he raised the bar by far
Also I gained a friend

Very reliable and excellent service
We honestly had such a wonderful experience with Bushtop travel agency! From the very beginning, communication was so easy and everything felt effortless with Denis our main man. Our group was travelling from different parts of the world, so coordinating dates and plans wasn’t always simple, but Dennis was incredibly patient and flexible with us. They accommodated our preferred dates, hotel choices, and all the little changes along the way without any hassle. They even surprised us with a complimentary hotel upgrade, which we really appreciated! Everything throughout the trip was organized beautifully and ran very smoothly. Our guides James and Joseph were fantastic—friendly, reliable, knowledgeable, and made the entire journey even more enjoyable. We came home with the best memories and would happily recommend them to anyone! ❤️

Super knowledgeable and passionate about showing the best of Rwanda and Uganda!
If you are even thinking about a primate trekking trip to Rwanda and Uganda, look no further than this one right here (and ask for Elton and Dixon as your guides)! This was, without exaggerating, one of THE most magical travel experiences of my life, and it could be yours too.
My friend and I did a 6-day tour that included chimp and golden monkey trekking in Rwanda and gorilla trekking in Uganda. Elton and Dixon made every single part of this trip feel effortless, safe, and super fun. Before we even got on the plane, they sent over a super detailed day-by-day itinerary, packing list, and tips on trekking etiquette so we knew exactly what to expect. The treks themselves were unforgettable. We saw every animal we hoped to see (and more!). Elton and Dixon’s knowledge of the wildlife and local culture was top tier and I left understanding so much more about the region than I anticipated.
Safety and comfort were never a question. Meals were included and delicious and the lodges we stayed in were honestly stunning – made me question if I even wanted to go trekking when I could just enjoy the view right from my balcony.
This was the ultimate trip with equal parts adventure, comfort, and connection with nature. Our group dynamic with Elton and Dixon was genuinely a blast and you could tell they’re both clearly passionate about what they do. I cannot recommend it enough for anyone planning a trip like this. I’m already thinking about what my next trip with Hooves of Africa will be!
