Jeff was amazing! We learnt so much about the animals on safari and we laughed a lot thanks to him!
Our safari with Jeff was wonderful! We had really interesting conversations about Kenya and its culture, laughed a lot, and he taught us so much about the animals in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. With thanks to Jeff this was a 10/10 safari trip! I will certainly recommend my friends and family to do a safari with Jeff and Jocky Tours!

The agency, especially our guide Stanley was reliable, helpful, knowledgable and enterntaining.
Before our trip to Kenya we’d done research and Jocky was the best válíš for money. We chose moderate accommodation standard and it was amazing in all locations. What we appreciated the most was our incredible senior guide Stanley, who was trying to deliver the highest quality experience to us during the whole 6 days. As so we were able to see everything we wanted.

offers immersive and captivating safari journeys that showcase the breathtaking wildlife/landscape
I had the most incredible experience during my safari in Masai Mara with an amazing guide Charles Sharuq. His deep knowledge of the wildlife and the area made every moment exciting and educational. Not only did he spot animals that I would have easily missed, but his stories and explanations added a whole new layer of understanding to the safari.
Their dedication to ensuring we had the best experience possible was evident in every aspect. His friendly and approachable demeanor made the entire journey feel like exploring with a knowledgeable friend.
This safari experience exceeded all my expectations, largely thanks to the exceptional driver,guide and friend Charlse Sharuq from Safari Africa. I couldn't have asked for a better companion to share this adventure with. If you're looking for a safari that combines thrilling wildlife encounters with a knowledgeable and personable guide, I wholeheartedly recommend them and Charles S.

Great Experience!
I had an incredible safari experience that left me in awe. Sir Charles, our guide, had so much information about the animals; I learned so much from him. The landscapes were breathtaking, and visiting the park for sunset was an unforgettable and breath-taking. I really appreciated how attentive Sir Charles was to provide us a great experience. The resort accommodations were also great. Everyone was extremely friendly. I would highly recommend others to take this tour.

Chill, fun , considerate individual that was more than happy to help with problems along the trip
When we first arrived in Nairobi the Jocky Tours and Safaris staff were welcoming and friendly.
Our tour operator Jimmy drove us around the Masai Mara, Lake Nakaru and Amboseli all of which was an amazing experience. Jimmy was fantastic at navigating the Safaris, allowing our group to take the best pictures possible. Jimmy is a great personality conversationally and assisted with any problems that we had.

Friendly, patient tour organziers with a gem of a Tour guide
We went to Kenia the first time and it was also our first safari. We booked flight and safari tour separately and nagged the tour operators with dozens of emails. They always responded quickly and we very helpful. Since the booking process is very lean and all done via email we were not sure if this was all legit, but in the end we took the risk and booked the safari with a small deposit… it seems this is how safaris are booked.
Even though the safari started a bit bumpy (our driver was about 1h late) all worked out well in the end. We were taken to the office to pay the remaining amount and as a next step brought to our tour guide Jimmy who was already waiting with some other safari guests for our group safari. We booked a 7 day safari starting from nairobi: masai mara, nakuru, amboseli, tsavo ending at our hotel on diani beach.
The accomodations were all as described in the emails and even though we booked the budget variants, the camps and lodges were all nice and much better then we expected.
Among the tour itself the highlight of the safari was definitely our tour guide Jimmy. He speaks flawlessly english, is always friendly and helpful and knows an answer for even the dumbest questions. He knows his ways around all the parks and knows a bunch of rangers, drivers and park employees which helps a lot when searching the rare animals in the parks. Within 3 days we have seen Leopards, Lions, cheetahs, Elefants, rhinos and also the common animals like zebras, impalas, etc. I suggest you take Jimmys recommendations concerning the right time for the game drive seriously. Even though getting up at 5:30 in the morning hurts sometimes, we always got compensated with beautiful sceneries ( flock of gepards right beneath the jeep, lions feasting a zebra, etc). If you are looking for a driver with several years experience, he is your man.
If you you are also planning a tour as we had, i would recommend to skip lake navaisha as the boat tour is pretty expensive… maybe the walking tour is nicer, but we did not do that due to lack of time. So far masai mara and amboseli are our favorite parks.

Amazing Safari
Best Safari I've been on. Our guide Jeff did an amazing job of driving, both getting to the park and driving thru the park. He was able to find all Big 5 as well as a cheetah, hundreds of giraffes, zebras, hippos, wildebeest and all kinds of antelopes, all in the same day! The accommodations were above average with a good hot water shower.
I also enjoyed my visit to an authentic Maasai village on the 3rd day. I’d recommend Jocky Tours to anyone interested to have a great Safari experience at Maasai Mara.

Amazing Safari
Best Safari I've been on out of at least 20 others. Our guide Jeff did an amazing job of driving, both getting to the park and driving thru the park. He was able to find all Big 5 as well as a cheetah, hundreds of giraffes, zebras, hippos, wildebeest and all kinds of antelopes, all in the same day! The accommodations were fine with a good hot water shower. However, the power is only on for a few hours in the morning and evening.
