Jimmy was knowledgable, courteous and passionate about his work.
I am impressed by the services that Jocky Tours and Safari offers to its clients. I travelled to Maasai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha and I trully enjoyed myself. Jimmy was passionate about his work and he prided himself in providing the best care to his clients. I travelled with him on a group trip to Maasai Mara and later on an exclusive excursion to Nakuru National Park and Naivasha for a boat ride along Lake Naivasha. On both trips, I asked a lot of questions and I felt safe and comfortable with Jimmy in the driver’s seat. I would recommend Jocky’s services to women travelling alone, families, and to groups in search of team building and recreational opportinities. Bravo!

An unforgettable adventure
I went on a 3 days trip in Masai Mara with my group of volunteers, after two months of intensive volunteer work in Kenya. This trip was the best way to end our journey and to reflect about our experiences in Kenya. Our guide, Jimmy, showed a high professionalism during the whole experience: with his joy and enthusiasm he created a great atmosphere in the car, he provided us with detailed explanations about different animals and their habits, and he showed us a lot of animals, from very close. It was an experience we will never forget and an adventure which we want to repeat.

If it's Kenyan Safari, it has to be Jocky Tours
We visited Kenya in Dec 2021 with Jocky Tours, and had an amazing 7-day safari experience. Minneh explained each and everything in detail at the time of booking, and was quick and patient to answer all our queries.
We managed to see all of the Big 5 and even Cheetahs, thanks to Jimmy, our guide for the safari, who was simply amazing. He made our 7-day safari experience a memorable one, and even exceeded our expectations. Spotting the animals, driving quickly and safely, explaining things about animals in detail, and many times putting extra efforts just so that we could see the animals - Jimmy did it all. He was very polite and friendly, and helped us whenever we needed help even outside of safaris. Game drives with Jimmy ensured we managed to see all the major attractions at Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru, and Naivasha.
If you're planning a Kenyan Safari, would highly recommend Jocky Tours, and especially with Jimmy.

Once in a lifetime Safari experience
We used Jocky tours to take us to Masai Mara and Amboseli. Both safari experiences were incredible. The 4x4 they provided was clean and in great shape. Our driver/guide and now a good friend, Kikitu was very knowledgeable and took great care of us. He has a great personality, very warm and kind person. The Jambo Mara lodge in Masai Mara is nice, clean, and modern. The only slight drawback is they shut off power for a free hours couple of times a day everyday. Not a big deal. The AA resort in Amboseli was mediocre, but met or needs. I highly recommend this tour operator and specifically Kikitu.

Amazingly smooth, flexible organization & family like approach
Safari with Jocky Tours was an outstanding and amazingly organized experience. Starting from the first email finishing with the ‘goodbye’ at the airport everything was smooth, very well thought and enjoyable. Even when we had a doubt about one of us coming to safari just 2 days before the start (luckily we were both able to make it in the end), jocky was very flexible in reorganizing the trip for 1 person with very good conditions. Richard our guide was a very pleasant company , again very flexible, however keeping the eye on the schedule to show us maximum possible. Being 2 girls not used to wake up at 5 am, that was quite helpful :) He also knew a lot about the animals and Kenya in general that was very interesting to discover during our long conversations on the way. Even though our safari was in English, it was an unexpected surprise that Richard spoke fluent Russian and sometimes it was helpful to check the exact name of the animal or if we needed to discuss something privately. Also he took into account all our wishes even if it was last minute. As he always said his goal is to make the dream come true and that is what actually happened! We saw all the animals that we couldn’t even imagine to see , mind blowing sunsets and sunrises, breathtaking nature and enjoyed one of the best accommodations we had in our lives (our stay at Zebra Plains Collection Camp was just beyond all expectations). Also we felt that everything was taking care of, so we don’t need to even think about anything and just relaxed and enjoyed our time. It was really ‘family’ kind of approach. We really recommend the trip with Jocky Tours&Richard to make the best of Kenya wonders.

Unforgettable experience
This tour was AMAZING! Starting from the pickup on time with the driver James. The trip was great with a fabulous group. We saw all the animals. Dennis, out tour guide answer all our questions and was always letting us know what we were doing and the plan ahead.
I love the respect for the animals. Dennis, our guide was always respectful to keep a safe distance from the animals in a way that was relaxed for them and we could enjoy seeing them in their environment without disturbing them.
The people at the camp, especially Helen were incredible making sure we had everything we needed it.
It was an unforgettable experience.
Thanks for showing the world your beautiful country :)

Experience of a lifetime!
We loved traveling with Jocky Tours! Jimmy Thenyai was the best tour guide! We never lacked anything and he was always willing to help by answering questions, planning outings, and genuinely making our trip outstanding. Jimmy always had a smile for us and patience for many, many questions and our special requests for finding that perfect, safe, scenic spot. We saw all the big five animals and many more outstanding and amazing organisms found in the Masai Mara Reserve and the Lake Nakuru Natural Park. We even saw two leopards in ONE day!! All I can say is, Wow!! This was a life changing experience for us and Jimmy and Jocky Tours made all the difference in making our trip the experience of a lifetime!

Laughs, great atmosphere and the best experience in Maasai Mara
We went in a 3 days tour with Kikitu as our guide and it was a great experience. He was punctual to take us in Nairobi airport and the road trip to Maasai Mara, although it's long, was fun and amusing! Kikitu is really funny and makes everything looks easy! First day in Maasai Mara we were already surprised by lots of animals and we saw a beautiful sunset. However, second day was when it was really amazing! Kikitu took us to see the sunrise in the most beautiful place and from then, we spent whole day in a game ride seeing animals. He is a great guide, able to find and see all the animals around the place, and he looks truly respectful with them and their space. We saw a huge number of animals in their own habitat, eating, sleeping, hunting, swimming... and all the big 5 expect for rhino. Also, Kikitu explained us lots of things regarding the habits or life forms of the different animals, as well as information about nature and the Maasai Mara itself. He was a great guide, and also a great company for us!We had a great time together. We finished our tour on the third day with a visit to a Maasai Village to learn a bit more about such a different culture, and we were taken to the airport on time again.
Great experience Kikitu! Thanks!
