Robin was an amazing guide I recommend
Our safari with Robin was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife. His ability to spot animals, explain their behavior, and answer every question made every game drive exciting and educational.
Robin always made sure we were comfortable, safe, and in the best positions for amazing wildlife sightings. His experience and dedication gave us incredible opportunities to see Kenya's breathtaking landscapes and wildlife up close.
If you're planning a safari in Kenya, we highly recommend Robin. His professionalism, patience, and enthusiasm turned our trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Robin, for making our safari so memorable—we hope to return and explore Kenya with you again!

A perfect safari.
This safari experience under Jocky Tours has been incredible. First of all, the planning has been excellent. The company offers flexible planning, and makes the itinerary for you, granting all your wishes. Madam Mineh has organized everything for us according to our preferred route, including the park entrance payments, accommodations and meals.
Secondly, the safari itself has been unforgettable, and our guide and driver Kikitu has been its heart and soul. He's and endless well of excitement, knowledge and kindness; wether you wish to see animals, learn about the country or just have a good time in the nature, he's got you covered! He's hard-working, commited, flexible and always accommodating. Also, he's been able to get us good spots for animal sighting every time.
Lastly, the value for money is very satisfactory, and it is a very reliable company. Be sure to book your safari with Jocky Tours and Kikitu!

Personalized and fascinating experience with amazing itinerary and guide.
We were a family of four, the youngest of us being 19 years old, and went with Jocky Tours. We wanted a longer safari of 12 days, and together with Maadam Minneh, we planned a personalized trip.
We did Nairobi to Aberdare to Samburu to Nakuru to Masai Mara to Naivasha/Hells Gate to Amboseli to Tsavo east, and then they took us to Diani Beach where the safari ended.
The itinerary was excellent; it left room to adapt and breathe where necessary. If it weren't for this adaptability, we wouldn't have been able to see rhinos in Nakuru due to having poor luck in the only game drive planned. Luckily we could adapt and do a quick game drive the next morning and saw plenty of rhinos the next morning.
Now enters the star of the show, our guide Kikitu. If I had to describe him in a few words, it would be. Incredibly hardworking, funny, knowledgeable, and social.
This man literally knows everyone: all the staff in the hotels, all the other guides, all the national park workers, and everything, and they all like and love him. This often helped as they gave us tips on where animals were, helped us when needed, and plenty of other things.
He also explained to us a lot of things about the country. From the animals and the parks to the history, religion, and modern politics of the country. He always knew what to say and explain.
He also worked very many and long hours just to make our safari as good as possible. The game drives always delivered, the long car trips were always interesting and felt short (the car trips were lowkey sweet for catching up on sleep).
Masai Mara was the crown jewel for me. We had two unforgettable full-day game drives, and both were special, fresh, different, and constantly entertaining.
But it's also the most mainstream park, and while being both full of fauna and astonishingly beautiful, I also felt like it didn't show the whole picture of the natural beauty that Kenya offers
That's why for me Samburu and Tsavo East, being much less popular parks, were absolutely essential for the trip. Samburu for the multitude of animals only found there and Tsavo for the breathtaking red elephants and red earth.
Just as a final statement. Kikitu always went above and beyond in order for us to have the best experience possible, and there is nothing I could ask of a guide that he didn't deliver.
An unforgettable safari
Me and my family have had a safari that will remain in our memory forever. We wanted to discover different Kenyan landscapes and animals, so we asked Jocky Tours to propose a customised safari that would include Aberdare NP, Samburu NP, Lake Nakuru NP, Masai Mara NP, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli NP, Tsavo East NP, and to be dropped at our hotel in Diani. Minneh from Jocky prepared a perfect private 12-day mid-range safari. The communication with Minneh was perfect, all emails were answered in just few hours. All accommodations were great and all of them were located inside the National Parks or at the exact border. But the thing that has made the safari unforgettable is our guide Kikitu.He is the best guide I could ever imagine. He has been great at spotting animals, has explained to us many things about Kenya, and has taken care of us every single day of the safari. Even, it has been very nice to see how many people around the country, parks and lodges knew him and enjoyed his company. Even children playing on the street next to the parks were screaming his name when we passed by with the car!!
Kikitu, you have won a place in our hearts forever.

Excellent
When we were booking our trip, we had some specific wishes, and the contact about this with Minneh went really well. She gave us good advice and adjusted the trip to our needs. Once in Kenya, our 11 day trip with our guide Kikitu went really well. Communication and information was clear. Kikitu is very knowledgeable about Kenya and its wildlife. Moreover, he is great at spotting animals and finding the right angle for the perfect photograph, and he is very pleasant to be with. I would really recommend Jocky Tours and their guide Kikitu: they really do that extra effort to make your holiday unforgettable.

Excellent
I think the experience in the Masai Mara Park is the best because it already includes most of the wild animals, almost covering all the types of animals one wants to see. Nakuru is also a very worthwhile place to visit because it has beautiful scenery, fresh air, and rare flamingos and rhinos. I think the entire trip, compared to the excitement and thrill, I would rather describe it as warm. Because while chasing the animals, I also experienced the warmth and enthusiasm of the locals. I believe this is one of the main reasons why Kenya's tourism industry is developing well. Every guide or hotel staff at each scenic spot greets every tourist with the greatest sincerity. I learned to say "Hakuna Matata" when there was no solution to a problem. This trip will be a memory that I will never forget for me. I am very grateful to David (Mukami) for being able to go through this journey with me. You are a very responsible and humorous good tour guide. You always solve difficult problems first and understand that my English is not good and is willing to communicate with me using some simple words. Traveling with you made me feel very at ease. If friends come here for travel in the future, I will definitely recommend you to them. I hope you can meet more like-minded friends in your future work and constantly find your own sense of achievement and personal value from this job.

Very well organized
I had a great experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris and would highly recommend them.
I joined the 3-day shared Masai Mara safari and added the optional hot air balloon safari on the morning of Day 2. Apart from the balloon safari, the itinerary included about three hours of game drive on the first day and a full-day game drive on the second day.
Of course, every safari is different, but in my case, we were lucky enough to see almost all of the major animals on the first afternoon. That meant the second day’s game drive was much more relaxed, allowing us to enjoy the scenery and wildlife without feeling rushed to search for specific animals.
The entire trip was very well organized. Transportation between Nairobi and the Masai Mara, pickups at the camp, and breaks during the game drives were all smooth and convenient. Everything was arranged so that I never had to worry about the logistics.
When I arrived, I learned that my originally planned camp had become unavailable due to overbooking. Jocky Tours immediately upgraded me to another camp at no extra cost, which I really appreciated. They handled the situation professionally and made sure it did not affect my overall experience.
One piece of advice for future travelers: if you plan to join the hot air balloon safari, bring a warm down jacket or another warm outer layer. The early morning before sunrise is surprisingly cold. Also, the early wake-up combined with a full day of activities can make you very sleepy later in the day, so I recommend getting a good night’s sleep before the tour.
Overall, I was very satisfied with both the safari itself and the service provided by Jocky Tours, and I would happily travel with them again.
