Excellent tour with excellent guide
5/5

We have recently returned from a Kenyan safari with Jocky Tours.
We visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli over 6 days.
Our driver/guide was Joshua and he was amazing. He even managed to tweak our itinerary so we could fit in a boat trip and walking safari at Lake Naivasha.
Joshua was very helpful and knowledgeable and was a very safe driver. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him and he was constantly scouring the landscape for wildlife.
We managed to see all the big 5 up close and just about every other animal you can think of.
Accommodation and food was good and overall we were very happy with the whole experience.
We would definitely recommend Jocky Tours and would like to say a big thank you to Joshua.

Kevin is a rockstar!
5/5

Jocky Tours was great but Kevin, our Safari driver, is the reason I would recommend this tour company to anyone.

My friend and I planned this safari the week before because we were already in Kenya and had the flexibility to chose which dates we wanted to go. We chose a 3 day safari through Masai Mara with pickup from/drop off at Nairobi Airport. We finalized our booking 2 days before, which Jocky Tours was able to accommodate on short notice and we really appreciated. The price seemed pretty standard compared to all the other 3 day, drive-in, Masai Mara options and it seemed reasonable considering it included the transport, food, water, and accommodation. We had discussed several different accommodation options (which varied in price) and picked the one that worked best for us - Mara Chui was a great spot with delicious food, 24/7 hot water & electricity, and friendly staff.

Now, Kevin made our safari experience *incredible*. He was kind, funny, and knowledgable so he taught us a lot on this adventure - everything you want in a safari guide. But even better, he managed to find and get us close to all sorts of animals - giraffes, a parade of elephants, lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, gazelles, warthogs, wildebeest, zebras...it was incredible! I know you can't predict or control what animals you'll be able to see on safari, but Kevin managed to drive around the Mara and get us views of *everything* - including a gorgeous sunset our first evening and a stunning sunrise the morning of our second day. I always felt safe and I felt like I was truly getting a once in a lifetime experience. I will always be grateful to Kevin for what he did for our tour group and the experience he gave us.

Solomon is a professional, calm, friendly, punctual and very knowledgeable person about animals.
5/5

The booking process with Jocky was very smooth after booking everything was as described. Solomon, our guide, was a very professional person always on time. He tried his best to show us wildlife as much as possible for that reason we were able to spot 4 out of 5 of the big five. He has really good knowledge about animals. Due to his calmness and friendliness it was fun to spend 5 days with him while doing game drives.

5/5

If you’re thinking about booking this tour - do it! Every thing was great. We saw all of the big five. Everything went smoothly and our two drivers were excellent. I’m booking a new tour for November with Jocky Tours because I was so happy with everything the first time.

Great organisation of the trip, from the beginning to the end
5/5

It was a great experience in the safari tour with the guide from Jocky Tours & Safaris. Our guide, Raheem Mwema, was a great guide with good knowledge about the country, all the lands, about the people and more important about the animals and all their behaviour and way of living. He was a good driver and take care of us and our needs all the time in the safari tour. We highly recommend their tours, but have in mind that you need to follow up to them. After our safari tour, the next day we have booked an one day coffee plantation tour and was necessary to remind then in last day of our safari, but somehow they managed to make it happed (a bit expensive that we talked).
