Thank you very much to Albert and Jocky Tours for making this a trip of our lifetime! We loved our 6 day tour, it was informative, inspiring and well organised. We were picked up from the airport and dropped off back at our hotel at the end of the trip. We were well taken care off my Albert and Jocky would highly recommend everyone to book with them!

Papa John’s truly an amazing guide
An Amazing 7-Day Experience in Kenya!
We had an absolutely wonderful 7-day experience in Kenya.
Our itinerary was:
Nairobi → Maasai Mara → Nakuru → Naivasha → Hell’s Gate → Amboseli → Nairobi
There were two things that especially impressed us about this tour.
① He always helped us find the best angles for animals and scenery.
Papa John would communicate with other operators by phone and also carefully observe the surroundings himself to find out where animals were or where they might pass through. Thanks to this, we were able to see many different kinds of animals and take amazing photos from great angles.
It felt like he was always thinking about how to give us the best possible experience, rather than simply following a fixed route.
② He repeatedly and clearly explained the schedule for the next day and throughout the trip.
Papa John always made sure to tell us the meeting time for the next day clearly and repeatedly. This made it very easy for us to plan our days, and we could enjoy the trip without worrying about being late or missing anything.
Papa John also had a very positive attitude. He would say “Good!” about almost everything, including price negotiations and the scenery. As someone who tends to be a little more negative, I found his optimistic personality really fun and refreshing!
He also has a great deal of knowledge about the animals, and whenever we asked questions, he was happy to explain them to us.
He was also very honest when giving us advice about the places we visited, such as whether it was better to explore on foot or by bicycle. We felt that he gave us his genuine opinion rather than simply recommending something because it was part of the tour.
Thanks to Papa John, we had an incredible experience in Kenya and made many wonderful memories.
If we ever come back to Kenya someday, we would definitely love to travel with Papa John again.
Thank you so much, Papa John! Asante sana! 🇰🇪❤️

Papa John’s brilliant guide on board
In the Masai Mara, I felt as if I was in a wild, open-air zoo. We were able to get so close to the animals that we could almost feel their breathing. At Lake Nakuru, the large number of flamingos was especially impressive. At Lake Naivasha, we enjoyed a boat ride and were able to get close to a group of hippos. Seeing them calmly staying together made me feel very happy and peaceful.Papa John’s the best
Hell’s Gate reminded me of scenes from The Lion King, and it was wonderful to walk through such beautiful nature. In Amboseli, we saw a large herd of around 30 elephants, and I was very happy to see a super tusker as well.
Our guide, Papa Jones, was excellent. He listened to our requests as much as possible, took us to a supermarket, and kindly responded to our requests to see both the sunrise and sunset. He also parked the safari vehicle in great spots so that we could see the animals clearly. Overall, it was a very satisfying and unforgettable safari tour.

Papa John is an amazing guide!
I joined Papa John's 7-day tour and visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli.
Papa John carefully planned each game drive so that we could see the animals we most wanted to see. Thanks to him, we even witnessed the hunting scenes we'd hoped for, which moved us deeply. He also happily accommodated our extra requests, like stopping at a souvenir shop or catching the sunset, and through him we experienced the warmth and kindness of the Kenyan people. Overall, having him as our guide let us relax and fully enjoy the safari and Kenya without any worries. Thank you so much, Papa John!

My first safari experience was absolutely amazing, and my driver was Geeman.
My first safari experience was absolutely amazing, and my driver was Geeman.
He was excellent at reading the animals’ movements and also watching what the other safari vehicles were doing. He always knew exactly where to drive to get us into the best position to see the animals.
His driving skills were incredible. Even on the very rough and bumpy safari roads, he drove safely and confidently while getting us close to the animals. I trusted him completely throughout the entire safari.
If I ever go on safari again, I would definitely want Geeman to be my driver again.
And next time, I hope he can enjoy my Thai massage again in another amazing location!
