Kush The Best Driver

We expeeienced the thrill of encountering Kenya’s etraordinary wildlife and dramatic lanndscape up close with our inspiring guide Kush, who was dedicated to crafting unforgetable moments admist breathtaking lansdscapes during our 6 days safari. We have donw several safaris but this one was a special one, with a huge variety of animals. We are glad we chose Jocky tours, the safari left an indelible mark filled with great memories. Thank you.

Exceeded my expectations
I was a bit anxious to book a safari tour via email, especially with a down payment, but the great reviews convinced me. Jocky Tours was fast to reply and answered all my questions.
On the day of the tour I was greeted (punctually) by a friendly driver who brought me to their office for payment after which we proceeded to the safari vehicle. Our guide was Kikitu and we set off in group to Masaai Mara.
I had booked the 5 day budget safari and it far exceeded my expectations. This was mostly due to our excellent guide Kikitu who made sure we were entertained and had an amazing trip! When our first day did not go fully as planned due to unforeseen circumstances (road blocked) he made sure we were fed (as we were not able to reach our lunch spot) and when we did reach our destination he made sure we still had a wonderful evening. The rest of the week he gave us a premium experience with humor, interesting knowledge, making sure we saw the Big Five and a big smile.
Personally I did have high expectations for the accommodations as this was a budget tour but we had three meals a day, very decent accommodations and we definitely got value for our money. The meals were buffet with similar options yet enough variation to keep you satisfied.
The car was cleaned daily with a box stocked with water. I always felt safe during our drives even though the roads were bumpy (especially towards Masaai Mara), our guide was definitely an experienced driver.
The only “negative” I have to note is that we had one day solely dedicated to a long drive, but then again it was also a welcome rest as we woke up early most days and we had a very active and long day the day before.

Simply the best 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We had a 4 day safari trip with Jocky Tours & Safaris. Our driver/guide was Richard (Richie). Richie was very punctual, professional and courteous at all times. He went above and beyond to ensure that our trip was one to remember. Thanks to Richie's efforts, we got to see every animal on the Big 5 list and then some. He got us into prime position to get superb videos and photos. Richie's knowledge of the flora, fauna and wildlife was incredible. We never felt rushed or short changed on any aspect of the trip. He answered all our questions and he also somehow made the whole experience fun and unforgettable. All credit to him for being an utter gentleman with 6 Irish women in his jeep. He quickly adapted to our Irish banter and was well able to keep up with our sense of humour. I would have no hesitation in booking another safari through Jocky Tours and would insist on having Richie as our driver/guide. Richie deserves a 5 star rating. Such was our experience that we were all very sad to return back from the Masai Mara to our hotel in Nairobi. Thank you so much Richie for giving us an unforgettable experience and one we won't forget in a hurry. Don't hesitate to book your safari with Jocky T&S and insist on Richie being your driver/guide.

Unforgettable!!! 10/10 with an amazing guide.
A once in a lifetime experience!! From start to finish our safari was exceptional. Our driver Richard (Richie) was outstanding his knowledge & gift to get us up close & personal with the animals was unreal not to mention just being a gent & genuine lovely guy we had such a laugh with him everyday. There was no animal on our list we didn't get to see including the Big 5 the Ugly 5 & the Special 5. Being a budget safari the camp was overall surprisingly good it was clean & food was good. Helen the head lady of the camp could not do enough for us. Overall could not recommend Jocky Tours enough 10/10.

Perfection
We did a tour with Jockey Tours in Feb 2025 , our driver was Richard (Ricky), this man is a gentleman, he is professional, courteous and great fun to be with . He made our trip so much more memorable, his knowledge of the fauna and flora was exceptional there was no question he couldn't answer .He got us close to the animals every time, we have amazing photos and videos. If you are doing a tour with this company request Ricky as your driver and you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic guide with great knowledge, experience, and insights
This safari exceeded all my expectations. Kevin our guide was so skilled in finding the animals and bringing us close to them. We felt he always knew what he was doing and he was always so respectful to the animals, not staying for too long or keeping the engine on beside them. He was also full of information and could answer all our questions. Incredible safari all round

Unforgettable experience
Kevin was the most fantastic guide which made this experience so amazing. I always felt so safe and we got to see so many different species so close up which didn't expect. This experience has far exceeded my expectations and is one that i will never forget. Great value for money, our vehicle was slightly crowded but that is the package we had chosen and it did not hinder our experience. Food was exactly what was needed and they kindly catered to our dietary requirements. Our tent was gorgeous and equipped with a hot shower and comfy beds. Overall 10/10
