Diligent, efficient and experienced.
We just completed a 4 day safari around Masaai Mara and lake Nakuru and it was incredible!
The agency got everything spot on and were super efficient and diligent.
The safari itself was out of this world! One of the most magical things we have ever done.
The biggest bit of praise must go to our safari guide Richie. The man is a living legend and really made the experience exponentially better! He was knowledgable, easy going, professional and experienced.
The biggest compliment I can give Richie is that he’s an excellent driver. I felt safe in his care whilst driving at all times! Often when you travel abroad, the difference in driving makes you fear for your life, but Richie was calm and drove excellently throughout.
If I had to be pushed to find a fault is that he supports Chelsea FC, but then again, I guess someone has to! 🤣
Thank you so much Richie. You made our holiday even more amazing!

Amazing tour with the incredible Kikitu
We had the best 3 day tour with our guide Kikitu in the Masai Mara. We were picked up from the airport in Nairobi on day one, dropped off at Jocky Tours office to pay the final balance (bring cash to avoid a 3% card fee). Once the bill was settled we met our group and guides ready for a 6/7 hour drive to the Masai Mara. Once arriving we had lunch at Enkorok camp (which was great) and then went out for our first 3 hour drive in the park. On day 2, we had a full game drive all day and transferred back to our hotel in Nairobi on day 3 following a visit to the Masai village which was incredibly interesting. Kikitu was extremely knowledgeable about the Masai Mara and was able to use his vast knowledge of the park to tell us all about the animals. He made sure we were safe at all times and even when getting stuck in a huge pothole still having fun! We went in low season in November which was great as we weren’t following any others cars and therefore really felt like such an authentic adventure. A couple of highlights were giraffes walking incredibly close to the car, a lion taking a nap after a kill and spotting a leopard in a tree! Thank you kikitu for making our trip to the Masai Mara so memorable and we would highly recommend booking with him for an exciting and unforgettable experience!

Invested in client safari experience
The experience was amazing. Jocky personalized the itinerary according to our preferences and needs, including changes such as addition of one person.
Papa, our guide, was helpful, competent and knowledgeable. He always made sure to cater to our needs, so that we saw plenty of animals, including all of the Big 5 (including the elusive leopard 3x in one day!). It seemed that Papa is highly regarded amongst other guides, which allowed him to pinpoint where the various animals are dwelling based on other's chance meetings. He also made sure to position the car in ways that allowed us to observe and take pictures/videos from good points.
I would - and will - recommend Jocky Tours (and Papa especially) to my family and colleagues.

Albert was knowledgeable, professional and an amazing guide. Highly recommend booking with him
I recently went on a three-day safari in the Maasai Mara National Reserve with Jocky Tours, guided by Albert, and it was an incredible experience! Albert went above and beyond to ensure that every moment was memorable. His knowledge of the wildlife and the park was outstanding, and his keen eye enabled us to see the Big Five and much more.
Albert’s dedication to providing us with the best experience truly stood out. He found the perfect spots for viewing animals, shared fascinating insights, and ensured we were comfortable throughout the trip. The whole safari was well-organized, and the attention to detail was impressive.
I highly recommend Jocky Tours and especially Albert as a guide for anyone looking to experience the beauty of the Maasai Mara. This trip was truly unforgettable!

Great tour for a solo traveler
I was nervous booking a safari as a solo female traveler, but the staff at Jocky Tours and Safaris was responsive and professional throughout the entire experience. They were quick to answer all of my questions before booking, and they were very helpful throughout the whole experience. Albert was an incredible guide who worked hard every game drive to get us as close as possible to as many animals as we could find! We ended up seeing 4 of the big 5 (the elusive leopard strikes again) and overall had an incredible experience.

Responsable, profesional and kind
I had an incredible experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris! I think The communication before the safari Can improve.The service was top-notch—our guide Roger was not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely passionate about the wildlife and local culture.
The tour itself exceeded my expectations. The vehicle was comfortable, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. The value for money was good,as we were able to enjoy breathtaking scenery, spot the Big Five, and the ugly five, experience moments we’ll never forget.
I would highly recommend Jocky Tours to anyone looking for a reliable, well-organized safari adventure. Thank you.

Best Safari
We spent 5 days with Francis as our guide, and he made our trip absolutely fantastic. We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Hell’s Gate, and everything went smoothly thanks to him.
Francis was always on time, super friendly, and happy to answer all our questions. He really knows his stuff and was always in a great mood, which made the experience even better.
In Masai Mara, he worked really well with other guides to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. His efforts paid off—we had some incredible sightings! Plus, he always stopped at shops with clean toilets, which was a big bonus. I also recommend to stay at Sopa lodge during your visit if you dont like spend the night with lizards and other bugs 😉
At Lake Nakuru, we got to see all kinds of birds and other animals. It was such a cool experience!
At Lake Naivasha, he set up a boat ride for us, and we got to visit a park where we could get closer to the animals. The park guide there also gave us a lot of interesting info, which made it even better.
At Hell’s Gate, we decided to walk. We saw some animals, but they were a bit far away. However going early in the morning or riding bikes might give you a better chance to see more wildlife.
Overall, Francis was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and always making sure we had a great time. If you’re planning a safari, we can’t recommend him!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience!
We recently went on this amazing tour, and it exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Francis, was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to assist us. He shared so much valuable information and ensured we were well-guided throughout the trip.
The tour started with a visit to the Maasai Mara, where we saw an incredible variety of animals—it was truly breathtaking! Next, we visited Lake Nakuru, which was teeming with beautiful birds and we even got to see rhinos up close. The optional trip to Lake Naivasha was also worth it; we enjoyed bird watching and had the opportunity to get close to animals at the end of the excursion. On our final day, we explored Hell's Gate, which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Overall, we were thrilled with this experience. The only minor downside was the accommodation in the Maasai Mara, which we had to change, and unfortunately, we weren’t refunded for this part. However, this didn’t overshadow the incredible adventure we had.
I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who loves animals or even has a slight interest in wildlife. It’s an experience of a lifetime!

Everything was really good
A great safari tour that we definitely recommend. Excellent service, we saw everything that was promised, including the BIG 5 and not only them but also other exotic animals. Special thanks to our guide - Joshua, who was unbeatable. We consider him the Safari King because he managed to do the impossible, showing us all the animals, driving to seemingly inaccessible places, and taking us to truly remarkable sights. Joshua is very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. We definitely recommend him. Thank you for the amazing adventures and emotions.
