Professional, informative, kind, respectful, wanted us to have the best experience
3 days in Masai Mara with Jocky Tours was excellent. Our guide Joseph was incredible - he was timely, organized, and drove us around expertly telling us all about the reserve, animals, and Kenya overall. He definitely wanted us to have the best experience. The admin team was very responsive and this was a very smooth experience for a weekend adventure!

Stunning
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Africa Jocky Tours & Safaris and especially with our guide Francis. We have already done two safaris before, but this one was by far the best experience we have ever had.
From the very beginning, everything during the safari itself was perfectly organized and we felt safe, comfortable and truly welcomed throughout the entire trip. What made this safari so special was definitely Francis. You can immediately feel how passionate he is about nature and wildlife. His knowledge about the animals, the environment and the national parks was honestly incredible. He answered every single question we had with so much patience and enthusiasm and taught us so many interesting things during the tour.
Francis always went above and beyond to give us the best possible experience. He put in 110% effort every single day to help us spot the animals we dreamed of seeing and to make every moment unforgettable. Thanks to him, we saw so many beautiful animals and had countless magical moments during the safari. You could really tell that this is not “just a job” for him — he genuinely loves what he does and truly cares about giving his guests the best experience possible.
The landscapes, the wildlife, the atmosphere and the overall organization during the safari were simply perfect. Every detail on the tour itself was well planned and we always felt taken care of. All the staff we met during the safari itself were very kind and welcoming.
The only unfortunate part of the experience was the interaction with one woman at the office in Nairobi before the safari started. We had clearly agreed on a specific price beforehand via messages and email. At first, however, she tried to charge us a different price until we showed her the email confirmation with the previously agreed amount. Only after we insisted and showed the written confirmation was the correct agreed price accepted. During this interaction, she appeared visibly annoyed and the communication unfortunately did not feel very friendly or welcoming.
In addition, a different exchange rate than the official bank exchange rate was used for the payment, which resulted in us paying slightly more in the end. Financially it was not a major difference, but the handling of the situation did not feel completely transparent or professional to us.
Despite this experience at the Nairobi office, the safari itself was truly outstanding and Francis made this trip unforgettable for us. Because of him, this was still an incredible experience overall and one we would absolutely recommend to others visiting Kenya.
A huge thank you again to Francis for making this trip so special for us. We are extremely grateful and would choose this safari experience again anytime.
Definitely a 5-star safari experience thanks to Francis and the amazing time we had in nature!

SPECTACULAR - the safari was splendid, all thanks to FARU (nickname of our guide, Francis)
They were super helpful and punctual.
First day was mostly travel, but FRANCIS managed to make the most of every second left and we saw lions, a cheetah, gazelles and much more. Fancis shared with us details about the animals, the herds, distinctive characteristics of the species. He is a living encyclopedia.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - ESPECIALLY WITH FRANCIS AS A GUIDE

Excellent
Everything was absolutely amazing. Francis coordinated everything like a chief, as he knows exactly where to go to find the best sights. He went definitely further than his job to make us happy, and for that, I am truly grateful. Thank you so much Francis!
Communication, reliability, value for money, and the tour itself were all absolutely perfect.
Only minus I had to mention (and I am sorry it acts as a "stain" to this review) is the very rude lady we had to deal with at the Jocky Tours office before starting the tour.
She 1) clearly pretended she never received any deposit while she definitely did, so that if you don't have proof in hand that you paid it, well you'll have to pay a second time, 2) pretends she does not know that we had agreed on a deal for the price, so that again, if you don't have any written proof you are screwed, 3) as she was pissed that we had a lower price than she seemingly would have liked, tried to round up the forex rate to make us pay more. When we would show her the real forex rate on google, her only answer was "my forex is the forex"..... I was not aware that Jocky Tours knew the forex rates better than Bloomberg ;) Instead of a customer-facing position, a cow-milking activity would probably be a more suitable profession for this lady!
Apart from this wrong start, an absolutely wonderful experience for sure!
Reply from Jocky Tours and Safaris
Posted on May 16, 2026Thank you so much for taking your your time to share your experience with us. We are truly grateful that you chose Jocky Tours for your trip, and we are very happy to hear that you had an amazing experience overall.
We also sincerely appreciate your comments regarding communication,reliability,value of money and the tour itself. Your feedback means a lot to us.
Regarding the concerned raised at the office before the tour, we would like to clarify that the reason we requested proof of payment was because the deposit was unfortunately not reflecting on our side. We completely understand how frustrating that situation may have felt, but the request was only meant to help us verify the transaction correctly
In regard to the currency conversion, the exchange rate we were using was based on the current local market rate available to us at the moment, which may have differed slightly from the online rate you were checking.
Lastly, we sincerely apologize if our communication came across as rude or unpleasant in any way. That was never our intention. We always aim to assist our guest professionally and respectfully, and I am sorry if the interaction did not feel that way to you.
Thank you once again for your honest feedback

That was the best experience
Our guide and driver was Richard.
He spoke fluent Russian, even though he has never been to Russia. He could answer every question we had.
He knew all kinds of birds and animals and was able to spot them from a very long distance.
Richard was very patient with all our quirks and problems. He would patiently stop the car as many times as we wanted — for the toilet, coffee, souvenirs, an ATM, or a pharmacy. He even managed to find toilets for us inside the national parks.
He helped me organize a walking tour in Amboseli.
When I forgot my phone in the car, he drove back at night to return it to me.
He is an excellent driver — fast, but always safe.
Richard is the best guide, and I highly recommend him!
