Mr Stanley - the best tour operator we have encountered. Very comitted & dedicated to his job
Jocky Tours has made our trip to Kenya a memorable one. Probably the best trip we had so far. Our guide was very helpful & kind. He never bore to tell us a lot regarding this beautiful Kenya country. He is very enthusiasitic & informative regarding animals during our game drive. He tried his very best to make sure we win the game drive. We would highly recommended Mr Stanley for your spectacular Kenya trip 🔥

5 day safari masai maara/nakuru/lake naivasha/hells gate
We did the five day package including masai mara, lake nakuru, lake naivasha and Hells gate with mid-range accommodation.
We had the pleasure of having Dennis as our tour guide. Cool, calm and collected, very knowledgeable about the nature and the parks and how to see as many animals as possible. Thank you Dennis, we could not have asked for a better guide and driver.
Regarding the package 5 days was good. Bicycle at Hells gate and the game drive in Nakuru to spot the rhino in the rainforest were definitely pleasant surprises and top of the list of experiences. Also the masai maara game drives are very very cool and well organized. The drives between the parks also give you a glimpse of the Kenyan countryside, its small towns, its fields and landscape.
Some minor feedback: Would have preferred to split the full day gamedrive in Masai Maara into one morning and one evening drive with pause back in the camp in the middle to spend lunch and the hottest hours (when the animals are the slowest). Also, I would have liked to change the boat ride in lake naivasha to walking safari on creaent island, to have some more physical activity - maybe one could have the option to choose? There will be a lot of hours sitting in the car, so suggestions for the customers on physical activity, such as an independent evening walk in Nakuru to the national park, or similar, would have been appreciated.

An Unmatched Experience
Our guide, Papa, delivered an experience that was nothing short of perfect with his impeccable driving and guiding skills. He provided us with an unforgettable journey that exceeded all expectations.
The safari experience was truly unparalleled, and Papa made every effort to help us spot the Big Five. He was always attentive to our needs during the drives and executed his job flawlessly. His extensive knowledge of the safari and the wildlife made the trip even more enriching.
The accommodations and meals were also highly satisfying, adding to the overall experience. We strongly recommend Papa and Jocky Tours for anyone looking for an exceptional safari adventure.

Awesome experience
Dickson was a lovely guide - he got us amazing views of animals on our game drives and was always ready to answer questions. Jocky Tours was affordable and great quality, and communicated well while planning my trip. Hot air balloon ride was a life highlight. One note: bring enough cash to pay for the whole tour though, otherwise they’ll charge a 5% fee if you want to use a card.

Perfect safari tour
It was a really great tour. I participated for 5 days, and my guide Solomon was very kind and reliable. I chose it because of the high reviews, and it was definitely worth it. If anyone is considering participating, I highly recommend it.

Excellent and understanding
We recently completed a week-long safari with Jocky Safari, and we must express our utmost satisfaction with the experience, particularly thanks to our exceptional driver, John Mungai.
From the outset, John displayed not only a welcoming demeanor but also a remarkable level of engagement that significantly enriched our journey.
His extensive knowledge of wildlife and the surrounding landscapes was impressive; he offered insightful narratives and expertly answered our myriad of questions, deepening our appreciation for the environment we were exploring.
What truly distinguished John was his flexibility and attentiveness to our family's needs and preferences.
He adeptly adjusted our itinerary, ensuring that we could maximize our experiences, whether it was on a quest to spot elusive wildlife or lingering at stunning viewpoints. This adaptability demonstrated not just his professional skill, but also a deep understanding of customer service.
John's kindness and genuine passion for his work shone through in every interaction, making what could have been a simple tour transform into an engaging and meaningful adventure.
His commitment to preserving the beauty of the natural world was clearly evident and added a profound layer to our experience.
We wholeheartedly recommend Jocky Safari Tour and specifically advocate for John as your driver. His exceptional engagement skills, combined with his deep knowledge and considerate approach, will undoubtedly enhance your safari adventure.
Thank you, John, for an unforgettable week that will remain etched in our memories for years to come!

Reasonable company
Thank you my guide David for the caring on our 6days private tour during Christmas. His driving skill was good for the long day travel from one national park to another. He took us to see most of the animals as he could during the safari. On time and follow the schedule as we agreed. He is nice and peaceful man. Sometime, luck and experienced guide play an important role in the game drive.

Effective and wholesome experience
Raymond is an experienced guide and able to spot the animals even from far away. They have a strong network of guides over walkie talkie in the Mara to ensure you get good sightings - we managed to see all of the Big 5 including the elusive leopard.
We got the budget - private option with a jeep to ensure we could maximise the experience, but the budget accommodation itself is pleasant already and it’s more important for us to have full use of the jeep and free range of the vehicle to get 360 views without restriction and maximise space on the long drives between Nairobi and all the national parks
Be aware that any extras on the trip, i.e. extra tours, souvenirs from the locals etc that is beyond what Jocky provides can be overpriced, I tried one or two and didn’t feel good about spending the money vs what we were getting. The main value and experience is already in what Jocky includes and you would not miss much without the extras

Experienced, organized and efficient.
This was once in a lifetime experience, we (my GF and I) got the Private tour on budget Accomodation and we couldn’t be happier! Accomodation, food, service was efficient and greay. For the experience - They were abundant wildlife, beautiful landscapes and rich culture all around. I can’t be happier with my experience and big shout out to our guide Raymond. He was knowledgeable, caring, kind and accommodating to our time on the trip. We always felt safe, guided and cared for the entire trip. I recommend Jocky Tours and specifically Raymond to guide you if you’re on the fence. This is a very special life experience!
