He was helpful and went the extra mile to help us see the Big Five in Kenya.
5/5

Jocky Tours and Safaris gave us an incredible experience. Our guide was helpful, knowledgeable, and truly went the extra mile to ensure we saw 4 out of the Big Five in Kenya. The entire trip was well-organized, comfortable, and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and professional safari operator.

Absolutely amazing!
5/5

Our experience with Jocky Tours exceeded every expectation from the very first moment.
We booked our entire honeymoon safari from Colombia, and Maureen was incredible—she helped us organize every detail of our itinerary with patience, clarity, and genuine dedication.

Once in Kenya, we had the privilege of traveling with Isaac, the best guide we could have ever asked for.
From day one, his knowledge, professionalism, and calm confidence made every part of the journey—from Nairobi through Maasai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli—truly exceptional.

On our very first safari day, we managed to see 4 of the Big Five, and the following day Isaac gifted us one of the most unforgettable moments of our trip: thanks to his experience and determination to explore the right area, we were able to spot a black rhino that hadn’t been seen in more than six months! Absolutely magical.

Beyond being an expert guide, Isaac made every day even more special:
his amazing playlist, perfect timing, safe driving, and incredible eye for wildlife turned every game drive into something magnificent, emotional, and surreal.

All the accommodations chosen by Jocky Tours were warm, comfortable, and hosted by wonderful people who took care of every detail to make our honeymoon truly unforgettable.

Would we do it again? Absolutely.
And without hesitation, we would choose Jocky Tours and Isaac again—the best guide of all.

The best time!
5/5

I was back to Kenya for the second time this year with Sir Charles and, like last time, had the best time! Honestly would say that safari is the most special and amazing experience, and Charles does it best. I’ve seen all of the big five both times & got the most special photos. It was really well organised from start to finish, good value for money (unbelievable!) and going in November was perfect (the weather ideal and not as busy). The back office team were also great and answered any questions really quickly. My only tip would be to stay in the Jambo when in the Mara if you can, the other accommodation on the budget option was great (bring some snacks)! But if you’re thinking about it don’t hesitate and ask for Charles if you can - thank you for the most beautiful memories and trip!!!

5/5

We liked safari with Jocky tours. Everything was arranged for you, and all you had to do was enjoy the safari. Pick-up and drop-off were from/to the location you specified in Nairobi. Our guide Joseph was excellent. We also enjoyed visiting the Maasai village, except for the moment when the locals took us to show the hut and the unpleasant money requests started. But everything else was perfect.

Unforgettable two-day safari filled with incredible wildlife sighting
5/5

We had an amazing two-day safari experience and truly enjoyed every moment. We were lucky to see a wide variety of animals up close, and the entire trip felt smooth, safe, and well organized. Our guide Richie was fantastic—very well informed, patient, and genuinely passionate about the wildlife and the region. His explanations and spotting skills made the experience even more special. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure and we highly recommend it!

Professional, knowledgeable and a great value
5/5

I had high hopes for my trip to Kenya, and those were definitely fulfilled with Jocky Tours Safari. It exceeded expectations in every way and was an incredible value. Our driver/guide Joshua was truly outstanding, both friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The vehicle was comfortable, not overcrowded (7 passengers and 1 driver), and we loved opening the top for better views and photos. The overall itinerary was great, taking us to areas of Kenya with differing terrains and wildlife. Accomodations were better than expected for the budget. We stayed in tented camps for 4 of the nights and hotels for 2. In every case we had a private room and our own bathroom, with hot water. Food was nothing special but always plenty to eat, and tasty. Didn’t get sick and bottled water included everywhere. The safaris themselves were just amazing, and always something new and interesting to see. Had a great time with other fellow travelers from all over the world (Russia, Finland, and India). Highly recommended.

Great itinerary and a great tour guide.
5/5

We had a great experience with Jocky tours. Everything was as described, David our guide was extremely knowledgeable and really helpful throughout the entire safari. He always went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience possible. We managed to see the big 5 on our trip which would not have been possible without a knowledgable person like David.
We initially booked budget accommodation and then upgraded closer to the trip. All of the hotel were very nice.

I would recommend hockey tours and David for any friends and family visiting Kenya.

Review for James – Safari Driver
5/5

James was an exceptional driver. In the chaotic driving conditions of Kenya, he remained professional, calm, and extremely careful. Throughout the safari, he was actively spotting animals for us—far more than I ever expected, and honestly even more than what I’d seen in all the YouTube videos I had watched beforehand.

He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience exciting and unforgettable. I would recommend James to anyone, and I will definitely be telling my friends to book with him as well.
