Reviews
An experience of a lifetime
We had a wonderful time with Jocky Tours and with our guide and driver, Brian Muthui.
We were a group of 7 people. Brian Muthui knows his way around the Maasai Mara Natl Park! He spotted a male lion and we were able to see it sleeping barely a few meters in front of us. We also were lucky enough to witness the Great Migration thanks to Brian Muthui who knew to communicate with other guides and waiting until the right place and time. It was such a thrill and an experience we'll remember for a lifetime. We highly recommend Brian Muthui as a guide.

Very smooth, and our safari guide was fantastic.
The booking process was easy and clear, and Gideon kindly and patiently picked us up from the airport after a very long wait because of immigration. Everything went well from then: we arrived to do an evening game drive and all of the other activities were fun. I would like to highlight our guide especially. We are a group of one English girl and two Spanish boys and our guide, Geoff, spoke both languages excellently. He was kind, thoughtful and passionate about the animals and landscape. He answered all of our questions and gave us so much knowledge about Kenyan people and culture. It was a pleasure to be guided by him. I would only recommend that Jocky Tours make the extra costs a bit clearer when giving a quote. For example, on two occasions we paid about 30$ when we weren’t expecting to. This is not the company’s fault, but a bit more transparency would have been good.

Unforgettable experience from start to finish!
Our guide Jimmy Waweru was absolutely fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. He made us feel safe and shared so many fascinating facts. An unforgettable experience from start to finish, which would not have been possible without David Wanyeki handling all the preparations prior to our arrival. Highly recommended!

Excellent safari, but poorly organised
Jocky will arrange your pick up in a normal car and bring you to their office where you get in the safari vehicle (this was not communicated at all, but is sensible).
Good value for money - a day and a half of safari in MM, plus accommodation, park fees, food and transport. MM is totally worth it - we saw so many different animals. My guide also helped me join a hot air balloon ride.
However, I had some concerns about the way our guide treated both the rules in the MM and the animals - he often drove off road, right into/up to the big cats in the bushes, skipping the lines of other vehicles and getting in trouble from rangers. A lot of the time he trapped a lion between our car and other cars and made them uncomfortable enough to move. We got great photos but I would have been happier being more compliant. He also spent lots of the time on the phone.
Our final day was a total mess - two people on our tour were staying an extra night so Jocky gave them the guide and the car and tried and failed to organise other transport for 5 of us. We ended up taking a total of 4 other cars, with limited communication and my bag was left behind in one of the transfers and needed to be retrieved which meant the whole trip back to Nairobi took a few extra hours.

Ben showed us all we want to see and bring us everytime in the best position. Best guide ever!!!
Communication was good, the driver was always punctual, and we felt safe at all times. There was plenty of water, and it was in original sealed packaging. We really got our money's worth—it was a fantastic safari where, in addition to the Big Five, we saw many, many other animals. Many thanks to Ben from Jocky Tours.
Best Guide for the tour
We had a truly wonderful safari; thanks to our fantastic guide Ben, we saw all of the Big Five. We always felt well looked after and very welcome.

Geeman knows the park inside out, is patient, punctual, and made our safari truly unforgettable!
We had a wonderful time with Jocky Travels, and our guide Geeman was absolutely fantastic! He knows the park inside and out and always seemed to know exactly where to go and what to look for. He was very patient especially when we wanted to wait for the perfect moment to get the best pictures.
Geeman was always on time, friendly, professional, and truly dedicated to making sure we had a fantastic experience. We really appreciated his knowledge, patience, and passion for the safari.
We highly recommend Geeman and Jocky Travels for an unforgettable safari experience!
