My tour operator was great and a once in a lifetime experience!
Peter Kapino was my driver and he was fantastic!! He picked us up on time each day and was very thorough with the plan for each day. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and at no time did I feel unsafe. I highly recommend jocky and requesting him as your personal guide.

Perfect safari if you have limited time in Kenya
Had the best experience with Jocky Tours on a 3 day Masai Mara safari. It included pick up from my hotel in Nairobi, all transfers, accommodation, all meals and park entry fees - I didn't have to worry about anything.
Peter Kapino was a great driver, showing us the sights of the park and ensuring we saw as much as we could during the game drives. We managed to see the Big 5, including the elusive leopard that hadn't been seen in over a month!
The accommodation exceeded my expectations - affordable yet comfortable, and the meals were substantial and varied.
The company was very quick to respond to my requests via email, and booking direct with them was a smooth process.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and it was the perfect way to fit in a safari with my limited time in Kenya.

Great tour, as advertised
There is a lot of competition for safari tours to Maasai Mara. I was happy with Jocky Tours and our guides Peter Kapilo and Moses. The hotel pick-up and everything else was on time, and we had a great time on safari.

Unforgettable & amazing experience!!
I had an incredible experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris. Our guide, Peter Kapino, was fantastic! A true gem you’ll be lucky to get! Knowledgeable, funny, patient, brilliant driving skills and made sure we got all the perfect timely shots. Luckily we got to see the big five! Moses who translated for another couple was also great, always ready to help and answer questions.
My reservation agent Maureen was super helpful, very responsive and always answered any queries I had.
We stayed at Lendacha Camp, which was nice. The food was great, and the staff were lovely. This is a was a once in a lifetime experience and totally worth the value for money. Highly recommend this tour company.

Great Game Drive in Maasai Mara
I had a good times with Jocky Tours and really enjoyed our game drives. We could have a full day + one evening visiting the Maasai Mara park and saw lots of animals specially lions, cheetahs and leopards which we got lucky to see. Our guide, James Gichina, was really great helping to find animals and there if we needed him through our stay. The camp was as expected with good food.
The only down is the organization at the beginning of our trip as we have to enter Nairobi CBD for administration and lost lots of time there for nothing. Once we were picked up by our guide James (in a good car), everything went smoothly.

Professional organisation offering expected game drive in Masai Mara
The pick up at Nairobi is always a bit chaotic. Indeed, no matter where do you stay, a cab has to take you in the cbd where you will pay the activity (we paid in US dollars). Then, you directly go to Masai Mara in a nice 4x4 vehicle driven by your guide. For us, it was James Gichina who was really good during the game drive to bring us close to the animals and especially the big 5. Regarding the hotel, it fits the expectations, the food was good. To resume, it was a great experience to discover the wild world of Masai Mara,

Unforgettable safari with professional and caring guide
This was my first time visiting Kenya and I am very satisfied with the whole experience. The country impressed me with its abundant wildlife, pleasant climate, and the warmth of the people. The safari itself was truly amazing—thanks to our professional guide Kikitu, we were able to see lions hunting up close, encounter rare rhinos, and take many wonderful photos. Kikitu was always attentive to our safety, very responsible, and extremely reliable. I would highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris to anyone looking for a memorable adventure.

Our guide,John Faru is the best!
This safari tour was absolutely the best. The lodges were comfortable with stunning views, and every meal was delicious. I bonded with my fellow travelers, making it a memory I'll cherish forever.
The absolute highlight was our guide, John Faru, who was the most incredible professional you could ask for. His driving skills, knowledge, initiative, and kindness were outstanding. I definitely want to join another tour someday.

Not well organized, the program was not well described, we faced lot of extras.
The tour itself was beautiful; we really enjoyed the safari in the Masai Mara, but less so the Nakuru and Naivasha areas. The most disappointing thing for us was finishing the day's program at 3 PM without being able to do anything until the next day. The accommodations and lunches were mediocre for what we paid.
Despite this, John Mwangi, our guide, was very helpful and kind to all our requests.
