A country of contrasts
We spent 15 days in Kenya, where 6 of them were on a safari. We had an amazing holdiday. We must admit that 6 days of safari was enough - maybe 5 would be perfect. All the driving is exhausting, I'm not gonna lie. Otherelse we slept in both budget hostels and luxurious hotels, and we really got to see the contrasts in this beautiful country. We stayed outside of Nairobi for the first night, and then went to three different national parks. We then spent a few days in Nairobi, some time i Mombasa, and then a few days at Diani beach. This was perfect for us, and we feel like we got to experience al ot of culture, but also some relaxing in the end. We will probably not go back to Kenya, just because we feel like we have experienced so much there, and there are other places we want to visit, but we will recommend everyone who hasn't been there to go.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Anne Berit Myrland
We stayed at Manjaro Tented Camps. This is highly recommended and basically did our whole stay here. Otherwise being close to Kilimanjaro is great, but it's very dry and not very beautiful otherwise. Looots of elephants, which was cool.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Anne Berit Myrland
This is an amazing park, but it has a few downsides. It's very busy, and a lot of the drivers don't show the animals much respect. We also felt very pressured by the masai people to buy over priced stuff. The wildlife is amazing though.

Our contact at Discover Africa was knowledgeable and helpful and made our trip smooth and easy.
Discover Africa took my husband's outline of where we were interested in traveling and turned it into a fantastic trip. Diane at Discover Africa recommended the lodges we stayed at in South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana, and all were first rate. Each place had something special about it and each had wonderful safari guides. We had an amazing two weeks and can recommend Discover Africa Safaris without qualification. Thank you for a very meaningful and heart-opening trip!

Simply outststanding! Highly recommend.
Outstanding service and what an amazing "once in a lifetime" experience.
I cannot thank Martin and his team enough. Despite having a very narrow time window and a restricted budget, Martin managed to find a way to deliver the fantastic canoe safari experience I hoped for. I also needed to make significant last minute timing changes and Martin deftly managed to rearrange all arrangements accordingly.
The canoe safari was terrific. The itinerary, guides, food and equipment was exactly as communicated. Canoeing on the Zambezi is an amazing experience. The scenery was straight out of National Geographic and we got to see loads of animals and birds. It was such a privilege to be immersed in nature taking it all in. Simply amazing.
Martin was very helpful in planning the trip. I had lots and lots of questions and Martin was always open, courteous and quick to respond. The information he provided was spot on and made the trip for me.
The experience was great value for money.
Highly recommend.

The Great Wildebeest Migration - Magnificent! Unforgettable!
Our guide/driver Mr. Ezekiel Senkoro is a really seasoned professional. Though the chance of seeing all the Big 5 through this trip is likely at 50/50, but his effort of finding them is always 100%. So thankfully, we saw all the big 5, including two black rhinos, plus several times of legions of wildebeest crossing over Mara River.
The operator's response to my initial inquiry for a customized safari was swift and managed to secure one of the lodges that was in high demand.

Super trip that exceeded all our expectations, mostly thanks for the super guide Stanley
We have just returned from a 6-day safari with Jocky Tours, and our guide was STANLEY KANYA. Everything was very well organized; the process of choosing and booking the tour was excellent. The staff responded quickly and in detail to all our emails, and we had quite a few changes in the booking process, including dates, routes, and the number of people. In the Nairobi office, all the registrations were handled quickly and efficiently. We took the private Extravaganza tour, visiting Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli. The quality of the vehicle was very decent, and all the hotels were fantastic—no complaints whatsoever. Honestly, we didn’t expect such great organization and accommodations.
Now, the most important part: I believe that only half of a safari's success (if not less) depends on the organization and route; the rest is thanks to the guide’s work. Most of our positive impressions are directly due to Stanley. His sense of humor, proficiency in English, professionalism, love for his country and its nature, and his deep knowledge of the animal world sometimes amazed us. There are no words to express our gratitude to Stanley. Jocky Tours should be very proud to have such a guide as him. His driving on challenging urban roads and safari trails was impeccable, smooth, and safe.
A couple of times, we had issues with the tires that needed to be changed or repaired, which is typical for safari roads, but he handled it all very quickly. On safari, all vehicles from different companies communicate via radio to share locations of animal sightings. Stanley was always where we needed to be, and his skill in positioning us in the best spots, even among other vehicles, was phenomenal. We were always at the right place with the best vantage point.
When we simply asked to see some crocodiles, he said "no problem" and took us to the exact spot on the river where they were. He knows each park like the back of his hand. Need a break? No problem. Want to see a giraffe up close again? No problem. We saw the entire "Big Five" thanks to Stanley. All three parks were amazing; we even had the chance to ride a hot air balloon over the savanna and photograph Kilimanjaro at sunrise.
Thank you, Jocky, and a huge thank-you to Stanley.
