Reviews
John has been the best guide! He made us feel safe, educated us, and was attentive. 10/10
The safari and tours were great, we learned so much and felt like we were given as much time as we wanted to explore and see everything we intended. We will definitely be recommending this tour for future guests/friends

Extremely wonderful trip!
I took my mom on a safari trip to Kenya. Initially, I was hesitant because online reviews mentioned that African safaris are very expensive. However, I booked a midrange package with Jocky Tours and didn't spend as much as those reviews suggested. I didn't have high expectations for the accommodation standards, but I was absolutely thrilled from the first day. Our first stay in Maasai Mara was fantastic – the lunch was incredibly sumptuous, and the roast beef was the best I've ever had. The staff were exceptionally warm and kind, and we even had zebras right outside our room.
The second hotel in Nakuru was equally impressive. We could see the sunset over Lake Nakuru and flamingos right from our window – it was breathtakingly beautiful, almost to the point of tears. The third night in Naivasha was more standard, with clean accommodations, although the shower wasn't great. On the fourth day, we stayed at a tented camp at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, which was beyond amazing. The tent was enormous, with constant hot water and clean facilities. The food was fantastic, and they even made pizza on request.
Our guide, Jimmy, was phenomenal. Everyone seemed to know him, and he took great care of us, always asking for our input. He arranged an excellent boat trip and a guided tour of Hell's Gate, where the guide showed us fish eagles catching fish and took us to spots featured in the Lion King. I bought fifteen small sculptures from his shop at a great price. Thanks to Jimmy, our trip was smooth and enjoyable. He provided detailed explanations and drove safely, ensuring we had ample rest stops.
Jocky Tours' hotel selections exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend upgrading to the midrange package, especially for family trips. I cannot praise Jimmy enough for his dedication. He even helped a stranded vehicle on our way, and despite feeling unwell one day, he continued to guide us tirelessly. The overall itinerary was relaxing, except for the long drive to Amboseli, which Jimmy handled meticulously. Jocky Tours should be proud to have such a dedicated employee. I'll definitely recommend Jocky Tours and Jimmy to my friends planning to visit Kenya.

Magical Memories with Tour Guide Jimmy
The three-day Masai Mara luxury lodge program was an unforgettable experience. The company is responsive to emails regardin g any questions before the trip. They handle all the details, ensuring seamless pick-up and drop-off arrangements. While the lodge is decent, there is room for improvement in its food and facilities. Bringing snacks is advisable as there are no opportunities to get anything between meals. Special thanks to Jimmy, the best tour guide in Kenya! His experience and adventurous spirit provided us with the most breathtaking views imaginable.

We met the Papa. It helped us a lot. He never gets tired and tries to help every second. We want to
I had some concerns before coming to Kenya. I could not fully communicate via email. But our tour guide was incredibly good. Hotel room safari comfort is at a high level. And I think we were given the best room in the hotel because you can watch Klimenjero from the balcony. thank you jocky

Wonderful experience in the Masai Mara!
In the beginning of June 2024 I did a three-day mid-range Safari to the Masai Mara with Jockey Tours. In one word: it was wonderful!. Jockey Tours did a great job. The tour was very well organized, the location I stayed (Jambo Mara Lodge) was excellent. Our driver and guide Raheem was awesome! He is a very good driver and guide (so we didn’t get stuck in the mud like some others), he knew where to go and tried everything to show us the wildlife of the Masai Mara. Besides that he provided with all kinds of information and he was very kind and polite. I will certainly book again with Jockey Tours (and Raheem) for a safari in Kenya.

Trustworthy operator who goes to great lengths
The seven day safari brought us to some very beautiful places in Kenya. The tour operator was very kind, and went to great lengths to drive us everywhere. The value for money and reliability is incredible. I wouldn’t have expected that for a budget tour. Sometimes the communication could’ve been better. I would’ve personally liked to have a clear idea about the next day on the evening before. Sometimes it was a surprise what we were exactly going to do.

Some improvements can be made like being more responsive and coordinated.
It was pretty good experience for first timer travelling to Kenya alone. The tour guide jimmy was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend getting him to others as a tour guide. The accommodation was okay but could be better for the price that we are paying in my opinion.
