The tour operator has been reliable and most of all has assigned us the best driver and guide:Papa.
We had an experience above and beyond expectations. Papa, our driver and guide, made us feel safe and like family from the very first moment. He always had a positive attitude and accommodated our requests with a smile. Always punctual, he allowed us to see the best of the parks we visited (masai mara, nakuru and amboseli), demonstrating perfect knowledge of the best places and observation points. Credit for the success of this trip goes to him, and I hope to do another one soon.
thank you Papa!

Everything thoughtfully planned by professional staff and guide
The price included everything except a few beers and entrance to masi Village and boat trip which weren't expensive.
Considering that the entrance fees to the parks has increased a lot its really good value for money.
The food was good and plentiful.
Stanley our tour guide was first class and nothing was too much trouble for him.
He had a vast knowledge of the wildlife and where to locate it. I would certainly be happy to go one a tour with him again

Unforgettable memories
We‘ve been on a 4-day safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with our guide Papa. We have seen all for what we could have asked for and Papa always made sure, that we are in the best spot to see the Big Five the nearest as possible. Thank you very much Papa, for making unforgettable memories!

Smooth and fruitful
A great experience with Jockey Tours. First time on safari, including 3 kids. The whole process was very smooth. Met on time in Nairobi and the schedule went exactly as advertised.
We had an amazing guide in Joshua who with 13 yrs experience, seemed to know everything and everyone of note. Accommodation was varied, but again as described and was absolutely fine as part of the safari.
Most importantly we got to see everything we could hope for. Lions aplenty in Masai mara, a family of cheetahs just after they made a kill. Plenty of elephants and giraffes and a total of 3 of the elusive leopards. We finally saw Rhinos around Lake Nakuru which rounded off everything we wished to see.
Joshua knew where to go and had loads of information to share with us. Very pleased.

Passionate and Friendly. Jeff is an awesome guide and really did great work as a guide.
The tour itself is great and includes everything one hopes for. You get to visit multiple national parks and get a chance to stay in tents within parks/reserves and see all the animals really close.

Jocky Tours made our safari trip fun, informative, and easy to navigate!
From the first day, Jocky Tours picked us up from our hotel, we met at the office to complete our trip payment and to meet our guide John. From there we went to Masai Mara which was a long journey, but John was very friendly and taught us a lot about the area and the different towns and villages we passed along the way. He made a long drive fun and informative! At the park he was an excellent driver and guide. He new exactly how to maneuver the jeep so that we got the best view every time and when other jeeps saw an animal for a few minutes they would drive off to the next location. John was more patient and we would stay behind and because of this we saw the animals up close and in person more frequently than other groups of visitors!! This allowed us to see some amazing animals in action and we saw nearly every animal aside from the rhino which are very rare here.
We then got transferred back to our Nairobi hotel and picked up the next morning by a new guide- Rodger- to go to Amboseli national park. The camp that Jocky helped us book (Kibo Safari Camp) was absolutely a hidden gem (would rate 10/10). Rodger and his intern Tribon were so nice and extremely knowledgeable about every plant, animal, and question we had to ask (we asked a lot!!!). We had a lot of fun together and also learned a lot of Swahili words and fun slang surrounding Nairobi culture. They were a pleasure to spend our days with at Amboseli and we will never forget our trips.
Thank you to John, Rodger, and Tribon(- good luck finishing your studies to become a safari guide)!!
We highly recommend to book with Jocky Tours! Asante -Brian and Kelly

Unforgettable Kenyan safari: Big 5, stunning views, and seamless hospitality!
booked a 7-day safari tour with Jocky Tours, and from the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. We were picked up from the airport right on time, and our guide, Jeff, was truly exceptional. He had an incredible knowledge of the Maasai Mara and the wildlife. Jeff went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best possible experience, and thanks to his keen eye and persistence, we were fortunate enough to witness all of the Big 4 ( we couldn’t spot leopard) during our safari.
The accommodations throughout the trip were comfortable had electric sockets and running hot water in the tent .
As a group of four vegetarians from India, we were concerned about meal options, but we were pleasantly surprised. The team made sure that we were provided with vegetarian meals every day, which added to the overall positive experience.
From the breathtaking landscapes to the thrilling wildlife encounters, every moment of the safari was memorable. Jeff’s passion and dedication truly made the trip special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in Kenya. We left with wonderful memories and a deep appreciation for the beauty of Maasai Mara.

Excellent tour!
I experienced four wonderful days!
Thanks to our guide PAPA, I saw a lot of animals!
I will ask papa to guide me again next time I come to Kenya.
I made good friends with the other groups on the tour!
The tour lasted 4 days, but it was short, so I would like to join a longer tour including Amboseli next time.

★★★★★ Unforgettable Safari Adventure!
As a solo female traveler, I couldn't have asked for a better birthday gift to myself than this 5-day Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Naivasha group safari with Jocky Tours. From start to finish, this experience exceeded all my expectations.
There were so many highlights on this trip, from the incredible animal sightings to breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and even visiting a Masai village. Of course, none of it would have been possible without the exceptional skills of our tour guide, Sir Charles. His vast knowledge of the wildlife, landscape, and local culture was truly impressive. Sir Charles went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible safari experience, always positioning our vehicle for optimal wildlife viewing and sharing fascinating insights about the animals we encountered. His enthusiasm was contagious, and was patient in spotting the most elusive animals, such as a leopard in Masai mara. Thanks to his expertise, we were treated to incredible sightings of the Big Five and so much more!
The itinerary was well-planned, offering a perfect balance of game drives and relaxation time. Each location - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha - offered unique and breathtaking experiences. The accommodations were comfortable, and the meals were delicious.
I must also commend the Jocky Tours team, particularly Minneh and Hellen, for their excellent communication and support throughout the booking process. They were responsive and helpful, which you do not always get through online bookings.
This safari was nothing short of magnificent - a birthday celebration I'll cherish forever. If you're considering a Kenyan safari, look no further than Jocky Tours. With guides like Sir Charles at the helm, you're guaranteed an extraordinary adventure that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
