Very well organized tour and good communication between organiser and I.
Very high value for the money spent. The coordinator was fantastic and clear on the itinerary. The driver was very professional and had tons of experience to look for animals.
Overall, I really enjoyed the tour with them.

Shavi Tours made our African honeymoon magical!
We enjoyed a private safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, followed by a romantic beach getaway in Mafia Island. The guides were friendly, professional, and knew exactly how to make the experience special. Every aspect of the trip was flawlessly organized, and the accommodations were luxurious. Highly recommended for couples seeking an extraordinary adventure.

Luxury and Wildlife in Nairobi..
Me and my family November completed our second trip with African Hartebeest Safaris..
Our stay in Nairobi with African Hartebeest Safaris Ltd was incredible. From the luxurious Ole Sereni Hotel to the enriching visits to Nairobi National Park, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and the Karen Blixen Museum, every moment was well-planned. Jeremy’s knowledge of the city’s history and culture added depth to our experience. Nairobi’s vibrant markets and restaurants were the perfect way to end our tour.

A Lifetime of Memories on the Mid-Range Safari
We chose a mid-range lodge safari, and it was worth every penny! Timothy, our guide, ensured we didn’t miss any wildlife moments, from the elegant Rothschild’s giraffes in Lake Nakuru to the herds of elephants in Amboseli. The scenery of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background was magical. Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris made the entire process seamless, and their 20+ years of experience truly shone through.

Wonderful!
My boyfriend and I had the trip of a lifetime with African Big Cat Safaris! The entire process, from booking to the actual safari, was seamless. The team was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful.
Our guide Obed, was amazing! So knowledgeable, experienced, and kind. He always knew where to find the best wildlife and made the experience fun and unforgettable.
We can’t recommend African Big Cat Safaris and Obed enough. If you’re planning a safari, this is the company to choose!

Jocky tours was great value for money. As a solo traveler it was very difficult to arrange transportation on my own to amboselli and tsavo. In the end it was significantly easier and affordable to book the 5 day Masai mara, Nakuru and Naivasha safari with Jocky tours. Communications trough email with Hellen were prompt and professional. All national park fees are included and there were no hidden suprises when I arrived in Kenya.
This was my first time going on an african safari. As such I don’t have any point of reference.
The pick-up on the day of was early and I was able to snatch a good seat on their new 4x4 safari jeep. The journey from Nairobi to Amboselli was a long one. Luckily our driver Geeman, made several stops along the way for us to go to the bathroom and strech our legs. In the late afternoon after arriving at the Masai Mara he took us on a game drive. We saw elephants, lions and the African buffalo. The next day we saw many lions and a leopard. In Nakuru he showed us the white rhino completing the African big five! In Naivasha we did a boat ride around the lake. Some other tourist did crescent island. This is actually a hidden gem and a better experience than hellsgate national park (the last park of the trip).
What I liked:
- Our driver Geeman showed us many animals and was a very reliable driver. He got us everywhere safely and he wasn’t on the phone yapping the entire time like other safari vehicles.
- the hotel in Nakuru was actually an upgrade over the one mentioned in the correspondence over email.
- communication troughout the trip with jocky and the driver.
Points for improvement:
-different safari agents used the same vehicle. So there was a lot of waiting around to pick-up other guests as they were staying at different accomodation. It would have been more efficient if people staying at the same accomodation go on the same safari.
-I feel like we departed quite late for the Safari. Everyday was around 8am. Some safari groups left at 6 to be at the park when it opened. This increases the chances of seeing lions and leopards just roaming around. As such I am a little disappointed that we never left on a early morning sunrise safari. It also felt like we spent less time than we could have on the Safari.
I also specifically asked if we could leave earlier for hellsgate as it would be less hot. But this request was completely shut down.
-Time wasted being too early at some spots. On the 3rd day we departed from masai mara to visit the masai village. After that I feel like we could have drived around the area, maybe to spot some zebras up close. Instead we departed for the lunch stop. We were there almost 1 hour before lunchtime. So we had to wait around instead of for instance checking out some animals
Overall Jocky tours provide a very good value budget safari and I definitely enjoyed my self😄

Friendly, knowledgeable and very easy
Best price I could find for a game drive in Mikumi National Park. They were very accomodating with price expectations and altering the package to suit us.
We did see a good amount and selection of animals

Amazing experience
We had a wonderful time on safari with Ayo Jenga. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, giving us lots of extra facts and information about the different animals we saw. He also engaged beautifully with our 4 year old throughout.
We were taken around the park expertly and saw a huge variety of animals throughout the time we were there.
Leaving Ayo Jenga to arrange all the details from collection and drop off at the start and end to arranging accomodation and ensuring a quick and smooth entry at the gates, meant it was all very stress free. I highly recommend Ayo Jenga Safari for a truly fantastic experience.
