Joseph is so professional, calm and has sharp eyes. He is excellent driver for us!
We had an amazingly eye-opening 6-day Safari experience, thanks to our driver and guide Joseph. He shared many interesting facts about the places we visited and especially about the animals in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru (their habits, their ways of life, whether they from the same families,...) - it feels like he knows them personally very well. We highly appreciate that he was also actively in touch with other drivers to get the latest updates on the best locations to spot the animals, particularly lesser-seen ones like lions, cheetahs or rhinos. Apart from that, Joseph was calm and accommodating, which made us feel safe throughout the journey so we could enjoy the best safari memories. Highly recommend having your trip with Joseph!
The only thing that could have been better is clearer communication about methods of payment. We had some disagreement with the village representative during our visit to Masai village, on what dollar bills were accepted for payment (e.g. with series later than 2013). Later we also found out Kenyan shillings were also accepted but not mentioned in the tour information. Had we been informed properly in advance, we could have made payment in shillings and ended the village visit on a high note. Hence, we suggest stating the accepted currencies and notes implicitly under the tour information to avoid misunderstandings to future guests.

Excellent safari experience with great organization, professional service, and outstanding wildlife
My tour guide - Dennis was an excellent guide and driver during our 3-days safari in Amboseli National Park. Thanks to his experience and knowledge, we were able to see a wide variety of animals throughout the trip. He always chose the best positions for wildlife viewing and patiently ensured that we had great opportunities to observe and photograph the animals.
Dennis was professional, polite, careful while driving, and very easy to talk to. His friendly attitude and enthusiasm made the safari even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Dennis to anyone visiting Amboseli and looking for a knowledgeable and reliable guide.

Thanks to Jocky Tours, especially our guide Papa Jones, every detail of our Safari was excellent
My and my friends had an amazing safari experience, thanks to our guide Papa Jones. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we are satisfied. Throughout the safari, he always cared about our comfort and went above to ensure we had the best possible experience. The organization, accommodation and meals were also very well, making the entire journey even more enjoyable. We are grateful for these 5 days spent in a very friendly atmosphere. We highly recommend this safari experience!

Papa Johns is an excellent tour operator. He is very kind, engaged and have a big knowlage
We (me and my friends) saw all animals which are able to see during safari. We are grateful to our tour guide - Papa Johns - becacuse he was very engaged in our trip. He searched all species for us, told us a lot of information about Kenya, people who live here, we got a lot of knowlage about animals and nature.
During car rides he answered all questions and was talkative so we aren't bored.
He is very cultural, has good taste of music and sense of humour.
We felt very safe with him (as a driver and during all safari).
When we wanted extra trip or atraction he organised everything on the time.
If I come back to Kenya I will surley choose Jocky Tours and Papa Johns!

Papa Johns gave us the best Safari experience, we loved him.
Papa Johns gave us the experience of seeing all 5 of Big Five wild animals. He was really good at spotting and chasing the animals. He was trying to be flexible and to meet our needs and requests. He also told us a lot of stories about safari, animals and Kenya. In this firm you get what you pay for and the price is really good for this kind of experience. I will recommend it.

The best value for money, great guide papa John.
We had an amazing 5-day budget safari with our guide, Papa John. He truly cared about making sure we were happy throughout the entire trip. He was excellent at spotting different animals during the safari and always did his best to ensure we saw as many as possible. He was very dedicated, attentive, and caring, and shared many interesting facts about Kenya with us. I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Fantastic safari experience and an amazing guide
We had a wonderful safari experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris. Everything was well organized from the beginning, from the hotel pickup to the entire itinerary.
The biggest reason this trip was so memorable was our guide and driver, Dennis Koome Kithinji. He was professional, patient, and always focused on making sure we had the best possible experience.
On our first afternoon in Maasai Mara, we witnessed a pride of lions hunting a buffalo. Dennis repositioned the vehicle four times to give us different angles, and at one point we were only about one meter away from the lions. It was absolutely incredible. We even saw three of Africa’s Big Five on the first day.
Throughout the trip, Dennis never rushed us. Every time we stopped to watch animals, he always asked if everyone was happy with their photos before moving on. His ability to spot wildlife was also impressive – many times he could see animals long before we could.
We also appreciated his flexibility. Since we arrived in Kenya very early and were tired, he allowed us to start a little later the next morning. When we wanted to buy souvenirs, he arranged a stop and gave us plenty of time without any pressure.
Amboseli was another highlight. We saw huge elephant herds, and Dennis always seemed to know exactly where to position the vehicle to get the best views.
A safari is not only about seeing animals – having the right guide makes all the difference. Dennis truly made this trip unforgettable, and we would definitely choose Jocky Tours and Safaris again in the future.
