Albert
Albert is a very reliable, interesting, enthusiastic, cheerful, friendly, and very professional and dedicated guide in the Safari process.
Safari:
Albert will explain to us every animal carefully, including the animals I mentioned casually. Even if Kenya doesn't have them, he will open the book and try to find the corresponding or similar. He will explain the lifestyles and customs of the locals to us when passing through the living areas or special sections of Kenya.
At the same time, Eli will try to obtain the location information of animals from various channels on the road: from the radio or constantly negotiate with the vehicles we meet by chance to ensure that we can see as many animals as possible. So on this journey, we saw almost all kinds of animals [ye R] and when queueing for animals, he was very anxious and kept looking around and negotiating, especially afraid that we would miss it. And it will always adjust the position of the vehicle so that we can take pictures of the animals at the best angle.
In addition, many other details can be felt that he is 100% sincere and wants us to have a perfect experience.
Daily service:
Every day after we get out of the car, Albert will clean and organise the items in the car, and also wipe off the dust on the windows so as not to affect our vision.
Albert loves learning Chinese very much. He can say some simple words and sentences in Chinese, and his pronunciation is very good! He has learned Pinyin by himself, so every time he translates Chinese, he can read it (although he may not know what it means), and he is keen to learn new Chinese from us, and loves to share his favourite Chinese songs with us. He can also sing Zebra Zebra! The most important thing is to say God! Bodhisattva! Very standard!
He greets us very warmly every day when he meets us, saying good morning, good afternoon, good afternoon, good evening in Chinese. Whether we can open the windows or spill water in the car, he will help us deal with it as soon as possible.
In addition, Eli is very interesting. It's a long way from Amboseli to Nawasha to Nakuru to Masai Mara. Chatting with him on the way will feel that time flies. We talk about culture, politics, history, differences, misunderstandings, emotions, life... And he will think about all my strange problems seriously.
He is really a very dedicated guide. No matter what happens, he will deal with it calmly and not bring our emotions to us. He will always face us in the best state.
About 10 hours a day is spent in the off-road vehicle. The guide is the only medium that links us with the animal world and the land, which means that they determine the experience of the whole Safari journey.
Therefore, if you choose Jocky, I highly recommend you to choose Albert.

A delightful trip
After seven days and six nights, the trip has come to an end, and I'm truly reluctant to let go—I know I'll cherish these memories for many years to come. Jocty Tour was incredibly reassuring; even when our flight was delayed, our driver waited for us at a café outside the airport and then drove us separately to catch up with our teammates who had left earlier. Our guide, Albert, was professional and enthusiastic throughout the journey, skillfully leading us to spot various animals and fulfilling all our requests, including watching sunrises and sunsets. We were truly lucky—big thumbs up to this outstanding team!

A great surprise
This tour was such a great experience. We had no idea what we were signing up for but I'm really glad that we did. It was great value for our money and Dickson treated us like family the entire time. I highly recommend it!

Amazing Safari Experience with David Mnyama!
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with our guide, David Mnyama!
David was an excellent driver and guide. Thanks to his incredible skills and experience, we were able to see so many wild animals, often from a very close distance.
He always did his best to find the animals we wanted to see and took us to the best spots for incredible wildlife encounters.
We were truly impressed by his professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. Thanks to David, our safari became one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives!
We would definitely love to come back to Kenya and go on another safari with David.
Highly recommended! Thank you so much, David!

5 stars for Davy Mnyama
I really liked my guide Davy Mnyama and would love to work with him again. He was excellent over the two days I was with him. It was incredible how much we could see in such a small time.
For Jocky overall, I feel they can communicate things a lot better. Overall everything went well, but you really have to chase them for answers or responses. Based on chatting to other safari tourists I felt the prices were good.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to James Gichina for making our Masai Mara safari such an extraordinary and unforgettable experience.
James was an exceptional driver and guide who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible wildlife experience. Thanks to his dedication, knowledge, patience, and incredible efforts, we were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five! He did everything possible to locate the animals and position us as close as safely and appropriately possible, giving us the best views and wonderful opportunities to capture perfect photographs.
Beyond his outstanding guiding skills, James was incredibly friendly, polite, punctual, and accommodating. He listened to all our requests with a smile and was always willing to go the extra mile, even beyond his regular duties, to make sure we were happy and comfortable throughout the safari.
His passion for his work, genuine kindness, and commitment to creating memorable experiences truly set him apart. He made us feel well cared for and turned our safari into something truly special.
I wholeheartedly recommend James Gichina to anyone planning a safari in the Masai Mara. If you have the opportunity to have him as your guide and driver, you will be more than happy. You can be confident that he will do his very best to make your experience exceptional and unforgettable.
Thank you, James, for your outstanding service, dedication, and warm hospitality. I will always remember our wonderful safari experience with great appreciation! Asante sana

James Gichina is an amazing safari guide! Incredible Masai Mara experience. Highly recommended!
My experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris was exceptional from start to finish, and I truly couldn't recommend them more!
From our very first inquiry, their team was prompt, transparent, and incredibly helpful, customizing our itinerary to perfection. However, the absolute highlight of our safari was our guide, James. Thanks to his incredible driving skills and masterful sense of orientation in the vast reserve, we managed to track down and see all of the Big Five in the Masai Mara! His deep knowledge of the wildlife, combined with his warm and engaging personality, made every moment unforgettable.
They were punctual, professional, and delivered 100% on every promise. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.
If you want a safe, authentic, and professionally run safari in Kenya, look no further than Jocky Tours and Safaris. Five stars all around!
