Organized, Professional, Fun
Booking a safari without from afar is really difficult and we took our time. Jocky Tours were recommended to us from multiple sources and we got in contact with them and conveyed our plans (7 day safari that includes Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lakes Nakuru and Naivasha as well as Hell's Gate) and our flight details. We really wanted to make sure that our experience was smooth and the accommodations were clean and the food was reliable, so we wanted to go for the mid-range option for those. Also, since it was me and my friend (both girls) we wanted to be with a group instead of private safari to feel also safe and comfortable. Jocky Tours absolutely delivered on all of these - in terms of organization, from the pick-up from the Nairobi Airport to the drop-off, we completely felt safe and taken care of. Anything we wanted changed, we need not ask a second time, they took care of it immediately.
All of the mid-range hotels (except for one in Naivasha called Panaroma Lodge) were clean and comfortable. The food in general for all safari bookings is not very impressive, but fulfilling nonetheless and the organization of for example lunches during game drives were all taken care of by the tour. You do not need to go out of your way about anything, they really take care of it.
One highlight of the trip for me was our guide Francis. He is immensely friendly and very knowledgable. For some guides, you hear that they memorized some texts and are just reciting those, and they do not know which terrain to drive on or how to behave when entering the parks or engaging with other people but Francis was exceptional. First of all, he answered at least a million questions, not only about the animals but also about conservation efforts, our questions about Kenya and football in all earnest. Second of all, you can see that he has been doing this for 14 years as everyone knows him and respect him. Further, the roads and the situations with the animals, especially us as two girls, etc., it is important that you feel comfortable, safe and secure with your guide, which we did. So huge credit goes to Francis for the success of our trip.
Overall, I appreciate the amazing hospitality shown and the professionalism and am grateful. I would recommend this tour company wholeheartedly to all friends and family.

Excellent safari with great guide
We had an amazing safari experience with Jocky Tours, who were very responsive from the start and arranged everything for us smoothly without any problem. They were 24 hours reachable and answered all our questions and requests promptly.
Our guide Francis was great, very friendly and knowledgeable, also a competent guide and a game-driver. He made us feel secure on the game drives, and he knew where to find the best wildlife sightings. He also shared with us his insights and stories about the culture and history of the places we visited and he was always ready to help our needs.
We enjoyed every moment of the safari and we highly recommend Jocky Tours and Francis as a guide for anyone who wants to have a memorable and hassle-free safari adventure.

An unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya
I recently embarked on a safari adventure in Kenya that turned out to be one of the most remarkable journeys of my lifetime. From the moment we arrived, the level of service provided by our guide, Jimmy, was truly outstanding. His commitment to our satisfaction and unwavering sense of responsibility significantly enhanced our overall experience.
Throughout the safari, Jimmy's attentiveness and keen sensitivity to the movements of wildlife were truly impressive. His extensive knowledge of the animals and their behavior allowed us to witness breathtaking moments of nature's wonders. Jimmy's genuine passion for his work shone through, and it often felt like he possessed a sixth sense when it came to tracking the animals. He was always available to answer our questions, share fascinating facts, and cater to our every need.
In addition to his expertise, Jimmy's exceptional character and patience deserve special recognition. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that everyone in our group felt comfortable and engaged. His friendly and approachable nature created a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the safari. Every interaction with Jimmy reflected his dedication to providing us with an unforgettable experience.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jimmy for making this safari a truly extraordinary adventure. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for our enjoyment left a lasting impression. I would not hesitate to choose Jimmy as my guide for future trips, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a remarkable safari experience in Kenya.
I would also like to extend my thanks to Hellen for her detailed introductions and excellent organization upon our arrival. Her efforts in ensuring that everything was well-arranged added further value to our safari experience.

Sailing smoothly on the sea of action
Have to thank our tour guide Francis the Bushman, who had it all together. Very good driver, knows his way around and if there is animal action noticed somewhere, he took us there to see it all. That was a great experience to encounter Kenyan wildlife! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

An agency that I highly recommend
After comparing several agencies, we finally chose Jocky Tours and Safaris because it offered us a competitive price based on our requested itinerary and hotel preferences, surpassing our expectations in both safari experience and service. Our guide, Jimmy, excelled in finding wildlife, ensuring we saw the Big Five in Africa. He also shared a wealth of knowledge about animals throughout the journey and we were highly satisfied with the entire safari. We hope Jocky Tours maintains competitive pricing and service, and we'll definitely come back!

Excellent safari with perfect guide
If you are expecting an excellent safari in Kenya, you must not miss Jocky Tours. With the experienced guide Jimmy, we had 8 wonderful days.
Before starting the trip, we just provided some preferences and they gave us a very detailed plan day by day, including preferred hotel, vehicle and total fee. They also reacted in time in case we change our preference.
Of course, the most impressive is the safari with our guide Jimmy. He's very nice and enthusiastic. He has a great skill of driving. So don't be worry about the road condition. It was always comfortable with the 4x4. During these days, every game drive is a surprise. Because Jimmy is always able to find rare animals. So yes, we are lucky to see the big five from Amboseli to Maasai Mara!
We are already considering the next safari to Samburu with Jimmy!
