Safari with Amazing Guide
We booked Safari for 7 days, covering Masai mara, Naivasha, Nakuru, Amboseli, Hells Gate.
Before booking the trip we had read about Francis alot, and we were lucky to have him as our guide
Francis is just super and fun loving person, who goes above and beyond . He showed us all the Big 5s.
The stay in tented camp in masai mara and amboseli wer not good at all, they had hot water issues, food was not good even the picnic lunch.
The stay and Food at Nakuru and Naivasha was amazing
I would really recommend Francis as your your Guide

awsome safari
What an amazing experience!! i have had the pleasure of being able to do Safari with jocky tours and were blown away ,wildlife is incredible! nothing compares to being able to drive through the wilderness seeing the animals and being connected with nature. Dont look around , just dont The guide Leroy is best ,hes the smartest tracker of animals ,very knowledgeable of birds and animals extremely informative, you will get to learn different animal markings and see how to track them. I would highly recommend the guide and the company at large and will definitely be back.

Helpful and flexible
It was a great time with Jocky, our driver James was super knowledgeable and we got to see all the big 5 animals. They did a great job of keeping to schedule. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe and there were other solo travelers in the safari as well.
The only room for improvement would maybe be in the communication around how long we had at each stop, since we had to cut some places short because of other travelers departing for different safaris. Still, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I would recommend Jocky for Kenyan safaris.

3 day Masai Mara tour Amazing experience highly recommend
I had an absolutely amazing time on the safari on DAY ONE the evening game drive I saw nearly all the big ones including lions, giraffes and elephants up close. Day two was just as good with us even managing to see the leopard and cheetah. Khalifa the driver was exceptional we mangaged to see all the animals and some up close due to his skill and professionalism he went above and beyond getting all the information on animal locations going to his spots individually he is an amazing driver for a safari. I highly recommend this tour!!

A great experience
I had an amazing safari experience with Khalifa during our 3 day safari experience. He was very knowledgeable and friendly throughout. We managed to see all the big animals and had an amazing picnic lunch in the national park. Khalifa was great at positioning the vehicle so we could get great photos of the wildlife. I am so glad I booked through Jocky Tours

Amazing safari and tour guide
My 5 stars is for 4 day Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha tour rather than the 5 day option which I did as :
From the time of booking initially, then having to change dates due to an emergency, until Moses left me in Naivasha for the 5th day, everything was perfect.
+++ great communication, very polite and caring staff (in the office, the drivers, the guide, helpers), amazing tour guide that looked after us well and made sure we saw the Big 5 and many more.
Accommodation in Mara was at Shankale Camp which was clean and welcoming - if they can fix the water pipes, this will be great campsite. Other hotels we stayed at were good - clean, good food.
I fully recommend the 4 day tour with Jocky Tours and Moses as a tour guide - very good value and great experience.
However, I did the 5 day option with visit to Hells Gate which I think can be skipped unless one wants to see the Gorge and thermal powerplant.
My recommendation is to:
- book directly through Jocky Tours on Safaribookings and do not go through agents
- verify how many people on tour with you and that it is the Jocky Tour staff taking care of you throughout the tour.
Happy safari!

Amazing experience!
We’ve done a safari during christmas and the experience has been amazing. Our driver John (papa) was very helpful all the time and very friendly. He did all days the best for the group and we really appreciate it. We recommend the experience 100%. Thank you!

They were very attentive and flexible in handling any accidents, allowing me to have a comfortable.
Since it was my first safari tour, I had some worries, but our cheerful guide, Kitutu, created a friendly atmosphere, and I was able to enjoy the trip from start to finish. I’m also grateful to Jockey Tours for kindly answering all my repeated questions. Although there were animals we couldn’t see due to the season, it was still an incredibly exciting experience.
One thing, though, which may be unavoidable, is that the drive from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara Reserve seemed to take too long (I feel we could have arrived at least an hour earlier).
In any case, it was a wonderful experience with safety and peace of mind guaranteed. Thank you very much!

Best guide we could ever ask for and amazing tour!
I went on a safari with my family, 2 of them being my parents who are seniors. I could not imagine having a more smooth, fun, safe, and enjoyable experience than the one we had with Dennis and Jocky Tours. Everything was perfect and we truly have no complaints! Dennis was the most perfect tour guide you could ever imagine and we were able to see the Big 5 and Ugly 5 on our tour! I’m so grateful and happy to have had this experience with my family. It is one we will never ever forget! Thank you Dennis and Jocky Tours for a life-changing experience!
