A very excellent and kind person
The price was very reasonable, and the accommodation was better than I expected. I applied for a 6-day tour, and it was a very good and happy experience. In particular, the driver David was an incredibly skilled safari guide, with excellent driving skills, eloquence, and a very good driver who found good spots and provided convenience. Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy the safari.

Papa John went above and beyond to provide us with a great safari experience!
Jocky Tours was consistently promoted with their email communication, answering all of my questions before I even arrived in Kenya. They handled all the logistics for the safari in advance, which made for an stress-free experience.
Papa John was our driver and guide throughout the 7 day safari, and he was excellent. He was always on time, conscientious about our safety, and respectful of the wildlife we encountered. He worked hard to make sure we got to see the Big Five, which made the trip truly memorable.
At one point, I had a mix-up with my accommodation, and Papa John immediately jumped in and resolved it. That kind of responsiveness made a real difference to our overall experience.

Amazing safari experience delivered by experts
Dennis Koome Kithinji is an exceptional guide whose calm demeanor, safe driving, and punctuality made our experience truly seamless. His deep knowledge of the land and wildlife was remarkable—his expert tracking even helped us witness a thrilling cheetah hunt! The accommodations were comfortable through out the trip. We very much enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone who wants an amazing safari experience.

Incredible experience and good value tour
Dennis Koome Kithinji made our 5-day safari an unforgettable experience with his exceptional professionalism and warm demeanor. He is an incredibly skilled and cautious driver who kept us safe and comfortable on every road, while also keeping the vehicle spotless throughout the trip. Always punctual, Dennis has a wonderfully calm, easy-going, and respectful personality that instantly put us at ease. His deep knowledge of the land and wildlife was remarkable—highlighted by the incredible moment he positioned us perfectly to witness a live cheetah hunt. If you are looking for a guide who combines expertise, safety, and a genuinely pleasant attitude, Dennis is the absolute best

Amazing safari and amazing guide
Me and my boyfriend had an amazing 6-day safari experience.
Stanley, the guide, has an incredible knowledge of the parks and the animals, and his ability to spot wildlife was impressive. He was also very patient and always took the time to explain what we were seeing and answer all our questions. Thanks to him, we were able to see an incredible variety of animals, including the Big Five, and experience some truly unforgettable moments.
The safari itself was very well organised, and the communication throughout the trip was good. The only less positive aspect for us was the accommodation in the camps. They were quite basic, although still perfectly acceptable considering the nature of the trip and the overall experience.
Overall, we had an incredible safari and would definitely recommend it. If you have the chance to have Stanley as your guide, you will be in very good hands. He really made a difference to our experience!

Stanley is the best! We made sure we had a great safari!
Did a 6 days Safari with my girlfriend and the experience was great! Stanley was a great guide, he made sure we saw all the animals possible. The food and accommodations were also good! Recommend anyone to do a Safari tour!
Reliable, well-organized and responsive, with smooth coordination and a great overall experience.
Jockey Tours & Travels was a reliable and well-organized tour operator that made our trip smooth and stress-free, with timely coordination, a comfortable vehicle, a knowledgeable and professional driver-guide, and good attention to the overall itinerary. The team was responsive before and during the trip, and the arrangements were handled efficiently without unnecessary hassle. What stood out most was the consistency in service and the feeling that everything was being managed properly in the background, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience. Overall, Jockey offered a dependable, comfortable, and well-coordinated travel experience that I would happily recommend.

Trip of a lifetime
We did a 7-day safari covering Samburu, Nakuru, and the Masai Mara, and John was our guide throughout the trip. He gave us an exceptional experience that we will remember for a lifetime.
We saw several animals right after entering Samburu, and John was incredibly patient and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience. This was our first safari, and we saw an incredible variety of wildlife in Samburu. Having John as our guide meant that we are now completely hooked on safaris for life!
Next, we visited Nakuru, which was a completely different experience. Once again, John knew precisely where to go to find the best animal sightings. He was extremely knowledgeable about the park and its wildlife, and it was clear that he knew the terrain very well.
Finally, we arrived in the Masai Mara, where we spent three nights and went on several very long safari drives. John delivered again, and we were fortunate enough to witness a migration crossing. We also discovered a few lions ourselves, which was fantastic!
John seemed to know all the other guides, understood the terrain extremely well, and was constantly listening to the radio for leads on interesting sightings. He always seemed to know where to go next to find something memorable. He never rushed us and never thought twice about driving long distances if it meant getting us to a great sighting.
Beyond wildlife, John was also very knowledgeable and passionate about the local culture and traditions. Hours of driving went by effortlessly as we chatted about all sorts of topics. He was not just a great guide, but also wonderful company throughout the seven days.
All in all, this was our first safari experience, and it was an intense and unforgettable one. We are now hooked for life and have developed a completely new appreciation for Kenya, its wildlife, people, and culture.
The central character in this story was John, who made an already incredible experience so much better. We feel very lucky to have had him as our guide.
For Samburu and Nakuru, we stayed at Sopa Lodges, which were exceptional experiences as well.
Jocky Tours is also a great company. Moses was our contact throughout the booking process, and he was extremely responsive and helpful. He provided quick and transparent information, replied promptly to all our emails, and patiently answered all of our questions. We felt well informed throughout the planning process.
They also gave us the best rates, and the itinerary and driver they provided were very good as well. The only small issue was that we were asked to pay an additional 5% to cover card fees, which we had not been told about in advance.
However, this did not take away from the overall experience, and we would highly recommend Jocky Tours. We would happily give them five stars.

Professional, dedicated, knowledgeable.
The tour was amazing. I don’t think it would have been the same without the knowledge and skill of our guide, David Mnyama. He knows every nook and cranny of the natural reserves that we visited. We managed to see everything in our list and took incredible photos in close quarters. I’d highly recommend Jocky Tours.
