We met the Papa. It helped us a lot. He never gets tired and tries to help every second. We want to
I had some concerns before coming to Kenya. I could not fully communicate via email. But our tour guide was incredibly good. Hotel room safari comfort is at a high level. And I think we were given the best room in the hotel because you can watch Klimenjero from the balcony. thank you jocky

Magical Memories with Tour Guide Jimmy
The three-day Masai Mara luxury lodge program was an unforgettable experience. The company is responsive to emails regardin g any questions before the trip. They handle all the details, ensuring seamless pick-up and drop-off arrangements. While the lodge is decent, there is room for improvement in its food and facilities. Bringing snacks is advisable as there are no opportunities to get anything between meals. Special thanks to Jimmy, the best tour guide in Kenya! His experience and adventurous spirit provided us with the most breathtaking views imaginable.

Extremely wonderful trip!
I took my mom on a safari trip to Kenya. Initially, I was hesitant because online reviews mentioned that African safaris are very expensive. However, I booked a midrange package with Jocky Tours and didn't spend as much as those reviews suggested. I didn't have high expectations for the accommodation standards, but I was absolutely thrilled from the first day. Our first stay in Maasai Mara was fantastic – the lunch was incredibly sumptuous, and the roast beef was the best I've ever had. The staff were exceptionally warm and kind, and we even had zebras right outside our room.
The second hotel in Nakuru was equally impressive. We could see the sunset over Lake Nakuru and flamingos right from our window – it was breathtakingly beautiful, almost to the point of tears. The third night in Naivasha was more standard, with clean accommodations, although the shower wasn't great. On the fourth day, we stayed at a tented camp at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, which was beyond amazing. The tent was enormous, with constant hot water and clean facilities. The food was fantastic, and they even made pizza on request.
Our guide, Jimmy, was phenomenal. Everyone seemed to know him, and he took great care of us, always asking for our input. He arranged an excellent boat trip and a guided tour of Hell's Gate, where the guide showed us fish eagles catching fish and took us to spots featured in the Lion King. I bought fifteen small sculptures from his shop at a great price. Thanks to Jimmy, our trip was smooth and enjoyable. He provided detailed explanations and drove safely, ensuring we had ample rest stops.
Jocky Tours' hotel selections exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend upgrading to the midrange package, especially for family trips. I cannot praise Jimmy enough for his dedication. He even helped a stranded vehicle on our way, and despite feeling unwell one day, he continued to guide us tirelessly. The overall itinerary was relaxing, except for the long drive to Amboseli, which Jimmy handled meticulously. Jocky Tours should be proud to have such a dedicated employee. I'll definitely recommend Jocky Tours and Jimmy to my friends planning to visit Kenya.
John has been the best guide! He made us feel safe, educated us, and was attentive. 10/10
The safari and tours were great, we learned so much and felt like we were given as much time as we wanted to explore and see everything we intended. We will definitely be recommending this tour for future guests/friends

Amazing 6 days experience with Solomon
We had an amazing experience during 6 days with Solomon. He did his best to help us to see all the animals in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. I recommend it 100%. Unforgetable moment!

Unforgettable amazing tour with Dennies from Jocky Tours
Unforgettable amazing experience to meet the wildlife with Dennis. We joined a 6 nights/7 days safari tour from Mara-Nakuru—Naivasha-Amboseli, lucky to see all the big five and hunting of the lions and cheetah , Leopard and rhinoceros, elephants walking in front of the mountains, hippopotamus eating grass at night. We do enjoy our trip very much and Dennies took a really good care to make sure we are comfortable during this trip. He is very gentle and thoughtful, shared stories of the wild animals and culture in Kenya. All the hotels are very nice too with good service and view. We do recommend going safari with Dennis and jocky.

Amazing safari trip with Dennis and Jocky Tours
My wife and I planned our trip to Kenya well in advance. We spent a lot of time comparing different safari options and agencies. Finally, we chose Jocky Safari.
Our driver and guide -Dennise was great. He's a great driver (really important driving from one national park to another), we has a great eye so he caught a lot of animals for us, he was always on time and took a good care of the car. Everything, with one exception, was according to plan and our guode didn't try to make us do something.
While safari, we were lucky enough to see cheetahs and lions hunting, large groups of elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and gazelles. Even more fortunately, Dennies always got information, he found a leopard in Nakuru Park and collected all the big five for us. He also shared a lot of information and stories of the wildlife and the culture in Kenya.
Jocky Safari isn't the cheapest option, but as safari is always expensive, it's worth for money to have fun in Kenya.

Safari Tour Beyond Expectation!
This is first time to visit wild African animals.
In Masai Mara, we could see a lot of animals which we wished that we could before this safari time.
Highlight was a couple lions we observed together and also a picnic lunch under tree.
Such memorable moments.
Thank you a lot guide, Kikitu!

Amazing
Wow… what an amazing 3 days. The whole trip was fabulous. Jambo lodge was lovely very accommodating and the staff were happy to help in anyway very welcoming. The rooms were clean and spacious. I am pleased we chose this lodge as opposed to alternative tented camps it was worth paying that little bit more. The safari itself was unbelievable thanks to our guide Kevin who went the extra mile to ensure we saw as much as possible and that the experience was magical. Communication and organisation was seamless. Could not have asked for anything more. We also took the extra option of the visit to the local village this was also a great experience and would recommend this as a must do.

Awesome
The tour is made excellent by our driver and tour guide James Gichina. He is a very knowledgeable guide and a very kind and considerate person. He has made sure we get to see as many animals as we can. I not only enjoyed the safari but also learned so much about the ecology and environment of Masai Mara from the journey.
