Dickson is an all star tour operator!
5/5

My 4-day Maasai Mara/Nakuru safari with Dickson was phenomenal! I was traveling by myself and was a little bit nervous initially, but Dickson made me feel right at home! It was fun being “copilot” for our group’s journey! We got to see the big 5 along with the difficult to spot cheetah, leopard, and black rhino! Dickson always masterfully maneuvered the crowds of vehicles to ensure that we all had a good view of the animals, and he was very knowledgeable in answering all of my questions! When I accidentally left my sunglasses at the accommodations in the Mara, Dickson arranged for them to be brought back to the office in Nairobi without me even having to ask. The Jocky staff are also all helpful and accommodating! My safari experience wouldn’t have been the same without my amazing guide Dickson. If you have the chance to go on safari with him I 100% recommend it! You’ll be in for a fun and amazing experience!

Absolutely incredible safari experience with a very organised guide and company
5/5

Myself and my wife did the 7 day Masai Mara/Nakuru/Naivasha/Amboseli camping trip with Jocky Tours and it was absolutely amazing! It was our first safari and met all of our expectations.

We had Joseph as our guide and he was brilliant throughout the trip, being very patient and always getting us to a suitable place to take good pictures of the animals. His knowledge had us seeing the 'Big 5' within 3 days but also plenty of other animals and he was very knowledgeable telling us about the different animals when we had questions.

We booked this safari through Jocky Tours as they had excellent reviews online and the tours seemed like very good value for money. They were very flexible when we asked to push out the tour by a day but keep the tour the same and the facility to pay by card was also appreciated (there was a 5% extra fee for this but it was outlined beforehand).

We booked the tour in the 4x4 jeep and feel it was worth the extra cost ($40 total extra) as it could go off-road in more places than the vans with more comfort. We had no more than 8 people in our group which was an ideal size.

Overall we highly recommend this safari and company and would book with them again.

Incredible and unforgettable experience. Amazing safari guide.
5/5

We had an incredible experience on our safari with Jocky Tours for our honeymoon, thanks in large part to our exceptional guide, David. He was not only amazingly kind and professional but also demonstrated an impressive ability to spot animals quickly and brought us to the parks very early each day so we could optimise our time and opportunity to see all of the animals. He was very punctual every day and great to chat to during the long drives. His keen eye and extensive knowledge of the wildlife made our journey truly unforgettable. He is an excellent driver and we felt completely safe throughout. Throughout the trip, he ensured that we were comfortable and happy, always ready to answer our questions and share fascinating insights about the animals and their habitats. David ensured we had a unique experience which involved a trip to a Masai village which was unforgettable, a boat trip on Lake Navaisha and a cycle and a hike through Hells Gate national park. We got to see the Big 5 and many many more. It wasn’t just the Safari we enjoyed but the whole experience and Jocky Tours are great to deal with and at a very reasonable price. All of the accommodation and food was great. We highly recommend David to anyone looking for an outstanding safari experience!

Good service for an affordable price, Expect Anything ;-)
5/5

Jimmy has been a wonderful friendly guide through out the tour. His careful but at the same time adventurous driving helped us to see good places in the park and our experience was great. He took time to explain each animal that we saw on the safari and so it was a good knowledge session as well. If you are with families/kids, Jimmy is the right person due to his careful driving.
The boarding facilities were reasonable and we were decently surprised with the food in a good way. Some delicious food for sure!

Joseph is an amazing tour guide who really walked the extra mile to make our trip worth while.
5/5

I did my market research prior to finalizing our travel arrangements and found that Jocky Tours offered some of the best deals out there for this kind of activity. The camps and lodging facilities that they use are the same facilities that other pricier tour operators also go to yet they are able to offer more affordable packages. Overall, we enjoyed every minute of our trip and owe it all to Jocky’s Tours and our wonderful tour guide, Joseph!

A trip which ticks all the boxes. A dream.
5/5

Our trip with jockey tours was amazing.

Our guide Khalifa was amazing and really made our Safarai brillant. He got us to see all the big 5 along with a leopard attack. Along with all the big 5s cubs such an amazing journey being so close to such animals.

The Accom along the way was great as well as the food which was all super value for money.

Could not recommend more to Safarai with jockey and ask for khalifa a top guy and a great guide.
