Professional and well-knowledge driver with an unorganized company
There's not enough praise I could write for our driver, Khalifa. We deeply appreciate that he didn't follow other drivers and instead took the risk to find the Big 5 during the safari. We felt lucky to have had him as our safari driver. Khalifa took great care of us throughout the safari, creating unforgettable memories.
The main reason I gave four stars instead of five was due to the disorganization at the Jocky Tours office, which affected our waiting time. There was a lack of communication in the morning during the pickup, and when we arrived at the office, they had the wrong information, thinking we were a group of three instead of two. Because of this, we had to change safari drivers. Additionally, they didn't inform us about a 5% transaction fee for using a credit card. Had we known, we would have used cash to pay for the safari tour.
Would we use Jocky Tours again? If I knew I could get the same driver, then yes, I would definitely use them again.

Wonderful safari with Johny Jackson
We saw many animals. There was a stunning safari in the beautiful national parks of Kenya. We liked everything: the organization, the hotels, the car, the wonderful driver-guide! We will have only the best memories for the rest of our lives! Thank you!

nice organization, kind and warm hearted person.
Our Kenya safari was unforgettable, thanks to our incredible tour guide and driver, Steve. He was exceptionally kind and took great care of the seniors in our group, ensuring their comfort and safety. Steve's expertise in tracking animals and his deep knowledge of their habits made our safari educational and exciting. His problem-solving skills and willingness to help others were impressive and greatly appreciated. Thank you, Steve, for making our safari adventure truly memorable!
It was a reasonable cost, and the tour operator had the ability to deal with customers’ demand.
It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience! I will remember it forever! We started from Nairobi, then went to Mar-samara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli. The journey far exceeded my expectations. Our driver and guide Steve tried his best to make us gratified and feeling comfortable, who took good care of us. He is a very reliable and warm-hearted person, who is good at looking for a good position to make sure we can take a master picture. Besides, Steve’s good communication skill makes everyone like him very much.
It’s an amazing travel experience that it show us an energetic and wild Africa.
Our driver is very conscientious and responsible.He always try his best to help us to deal with accommodation’s issues .One day ,because of the hotel’s problems, we almost had no place to live. But Steve helped us negotiate with the travel agency, finally, we got to a nice hotel.

Would recommend and book again with them.
Incredible experience that I don't think anyone would not absolutely enjoy.
The accomodation was clean with comfy beds and hot showers making it hard to get up in the morning. There wasn't much waiting around though the tour always doing something and seeing the animals that came to see. Our guide Leroy was friendly and very knowledgeable of all questions asked of him.
Tour communication was good when booking and picking up/dropping off. would recommended

Everything we'd hoped for!
We did a 5-Day Private Kenyan Safari with Jocky which included Masai Mara, Nakuru, Navaisha, and Amboseli. The tour was for my teenage son and myself. This was our first trip to Africa.
I chose Jocky based on the reviews - and I am so glad I did! They were excellent to work with in the planning stage, answering all my questions. No problems or concerns on that end!
Our guide was James Gichina, and he was EXCELLENT! We saw the Big 5 and everything else we wanted to see! James always managed to get us "front row seats" to all the action and animals - he was very intent on making sure we were satisfied at every turn. I have no idea how he was able to manage the parks/reserves so well, but he knows those places like the back of his hand. Sometimes he would instinctively lead us to where animals were hiding, and other times he would get a tip on the radio and speed up to get us right into the spots where animals were spotted by others. James was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.
All 3 lodging sites exceeded my expectations - Enkorok Tented Camp, Nakuru Lodge, Amboseli Sopa. The staff at each location was absolutely lovely and the food was fantastic each night.
The safari jeep was clean and just as we imagined. Plenty of water available.
I HIGHLY recommend Jocky (and James Gichina!) to anyone looking for a wonderful safari experience in Kenya!
