Beyond my imagination
Their tour package is the most cost-effective one I’ve found after comparing several agencies. You get better offerings at the same price range, with overall expenses kept relatively lower, which is fantastic. All the hotel arrangements were great, except for Amboseli Sopa Lodge. Its rooms were small with old facilities, and I didn’t like the bedding.
Meanwhile, our guide Francis is professional and humorous. He always manages to get us to the best photography spots. What’s more, he is a wonderful man with a deep love for animals, life and his family.

If you want real and safe safari, book with Jemmy safaris!
We have booked several safaris with Jemmy Safaris—both as a couple and as a family with teenagers. Everything was always well organized. Ali deserves special mention; he is the best driver and guide we have had in over 30 years of visiting Kenya! He is incredibly knowledgeable and versatile, flexible, entertaining without being overbearing, a very safe driver, and excellent at spotting wildlife! If we go on safari, it has to be with our "rafiki" Ali! Thanks for everything!

Everything is perfectly organized from arrival to departure.
This safari with our guide Elias through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro National Parks was an incredible experience.
First, the organization: everything was perfectly planned from the moment my plane landed until my departure. You don’t have to worry about a thing—you simply enjoy the journey. It makes the whole experience incredibly relaxing.
The meals were also excellent, and we never lacked anything. Camping is naturally quite basic: the water is sometimes cold, the bathrooms can be simple and a little dirty after being used by many campers, and there isn’t always an internet connection. But none of this took away from the experience—it was exactly what I expected.
As for what we saw, it was simply breathtaking. The landscapes, the wildlife… Elias did everything he could to ensure we saw the very best that Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro have to offer, while sharing fascinating information about the animals we encountered.
It was an unforgettable experience that I wouldn’t change for anything. Thank you, Elias, and thanks to the entire team for making this amazing adventure possible.

Our tour operator is fantastic
We booked Jungleroam Safaris for our trip to Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru, and it was an incredible experience. Our guide, Jimmy, was fantastic—enthusiastic, passionate, knowledgeable, and highly professional. He drove incredibly smoothly, even on the bumpiest roads, and had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw and learned about so many different animals, and every item on our safari bucket list was checked. We couldn’t be happier with his service and would highly recommend both Jimmy and Jungleroam Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Recommended guide Hermann
I highly recommend our guide, Hermann. He's been a guide for 12 years and is extremely experienced in animal hunting. We were very lucky to witness the wildebeest migration twice in two days.

excellent and professional RECOMMEND
The travel agency was highly professional. Mr. Ramadhan quickly provided an itinerary after understanding our needs, and answered all our questions promptly, professionally, and meticulously.
Our guide, Mr. Hermann, was also very professional (he has been a guide for 12 years). He took us to see many animals and the much-anticipated Milky Way crossing, explaining the habits of various animals along the way and taking great care of us.

Outstanding in every way.
I have just returned from an unforgettable Jocky tour safari and cannot speak more highly of the entire experience.
All of my online communications before coming to Kenya were friendly and the organization was impeccable.
On the day of our tour we were picked up and guided to the safari truck that would be our base for the next few days and introduced to our first guide, Francis. From the beginning he was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for the long journey to Masai Mara. We checked into our tented camp, Sankale, that was close to the park entrance. Everyone at the camp was friendly and accommodating. The facilities at this rural camp exceeded our expectations. They provided delicious food, comfortable beds, generator power to charge devices and additional comforts like a bar and snack service. They even have constant hot water which isn't a given at remote camps. We felt incredibly safe and really enjoyed the experience. From there we got our first experience in the park. This was an incredible experience. Although the evening game drive was short Francis made sure our minds were truly blown working all his magic to allow us to meet exciting animals including zebra, giraffe, lions and elephants. With the sun setting as we left I was able to capture some really magical shots and couldn't believe my expectations had been so exceeded. I was sure the next day couldn't get better but Francis proved me wrong! He was a man on fire taking us to the best spots and ensuring we got the best views of animals. His 16 years of experience gave us a better experience than anyone else I've spoken to from other tours. Knowing when to drive like a maniac to reach a spot versus waiting patiently to get into the best position is his greatest skill. I couldn't have enjoyed my time in Masai Mara more!
From here we journeyed to Lake Navasha and to allow us the most time in the park and to give us some optional extra time Francis was flexible with the itinerary. In Lake Navasha we saw Rhinos (black and white!) and many Rothchilds giraffes. Here Francis uncanny ability to know what the animals would do next and where they would approach and cross roads was incredible. On our final morning with this group we journeyed to Naivasha and took a boat ride to see crescent island, hippos and many bird species. This was a wonderful experience and we were grateful for the flexibility shown allowing us to do this!
After this we left Francis and continues our journey with Jimmy.
Jimmy was very welcoming to newcomers to his group and was exceedingly accommodating to other group members allowing them to make additional shopping pitstops that were quite inconvenient to him. He worked tirelessly to get us to Amboseli in good time and even when we were rushed he took the time to point out animals en route so we could enjoy the experience. We checked in to our second tented accomodations, mountain view, and this was really very luxurious for the budget classification of the tour. Electricity and hot water 24/7, wifi, bar, beautiful surroundings and a view of Kilimanjaro (when it's not cloudy!). The food was good and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend.
The next morning Jimmy took us on a full day game drive through Amboseli and found herd of the giant elephants for us to see. He was patient and helpful for avid photographers in the group who wanted to perfectly picture the many bird species in Amboseli. His keen eyes and amazing experience helped us see species we definitely would have missed by ourselves!
Our final activity of the tour was an early morning game drive before heading back to Nairobi. Here Jimmy was amazing at finding the best spots with elephants. We got so many up close pictures of multiple family groups and adorable babies! He used his extensive knowledge to guide us and put us in the perfect spot for pictures. When other group members thought they knew better where to take pictures he was kind and explained why we were doing what we were and of course he was right!
Our journey back to Nairobi was very smooth with Jimmy and I cannot commend him more highly for dealing with difficult issues with hotel drop offs!
In all I would recommend Jocky Tours to anyone who wants to go on a safari and when my nieces are old enough to do a safari I'll be returning with this company and would be delighted to stay in all the same accomodations and meet again with the fantastic guides!!

Safari with Sebastian & Brian
The safari was incredible. The guides gave us plenty of information about the animals and took us right up close to them. We were lucky enough to see elephants, leopards, lions, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, and many others... We will cherish the wonderful memories of these two days.

A friendly and helpful tour operator!
Communications with Zanzi prior to the trip were excellent, Honest and Denis were very helpful and arranged an excellent itinerary to allow us to see all of the major sights of the safari in 5 days. Excellent value for money, Zanzi provide very competitive prices for their trips. The tour itself was good, and we were able to see all of the animals - well done Zanzi on a good trip!
