A truly unforgettable experience, one I believe everyone should have at least once in a lifetime
We booked this safari fairly last minute and had contacted several companies beforehand, as we were looking for a five-day safari with a shared jeep and mid-range lodges, something that isn’t typically offered as a standard package. While all the companies we spoke to were willing to accommodate our request, Jocky Tours and Safaris offered better lodge options and price. We appreciated their flexibility and would recommend reaching out to them on WhatsApp with any queries. They were proactive and professional throughout.
The experience itself exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Ken, was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to everyone’s interests, whether that was spotting big game or identifying birds. The only animal we didn’t see was a leopard, although we did spot half its prey hanging from a tree! Ken made multiple efforts to track one down. That said, we were far from disappointed given everything else we saw, and it was actually reassuring to know the animals can remain hidden when they want to.
The lodges we stayed in were superb, it was almost a shame to keep moving from one to the next. They were comfortable, with excellent food. One highlight was Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort, where we saw hippos (safely on the other side of an electric fence), as well as zebras and giraffes roaming just outside our rooms. I’d strongly recommend checking reviews for each lodge beforehand, we swapped a few options and were very glad we did after speaking with others in our shared jeep. In our experience, the difference between budget and mid-range accommodation is significant, especially given the relatively small price increase.
Although we travelled at the end of March, at the start of the rainy season, it didn’t impact our experience. We were still able to see and do a huge amount. I’m not sure if this is typical, but it certainly worked out well for us.
A few tips that are worth noting:
- There is a 5% bank transaction fee for card payments, charged on Day 1 of the safari (excluding any deposit already paid)
- Be prepared for tipping - withdraw cash in advance
- Expect to spend a lot of time in the jeep (obvious, but the hours add up)
- Plan your hydration carefully—while Ken did make stops, toilet breaks are limited, especially within the reserves (understandably, given the wildlife!)
A truly unforgettable experience, one I believe everyone should have at least once in a lifetime. A city is a city, and a cruise is a cruise. But seeing such precious wildlife in its natural habitat, under its own volition, was extraordinary.

Amazing Safari
The Safari was just gerat. Our driver Moses was really experienced and got us real close to the animals. He always knew where to find them and how to navigate the muddy terrain. All in all it was a great experience, which I would recommend.

Amazing experience
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience and were super satisfied from start to finish. Everything was very well organized and thoughtfully planned, which made the whole trip smooth and relaxing. Our guide Joshua was amazing – he shared so much historical background and interesting facts, so we learned a lot along the way. Thanks to him we saw the Big Five and many more incredible animals in their natural habitat. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and we truly enjoyed every moment of it. We would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable adventure.

Wonderful safari
When you book the safari online, getting in touch with Jocky Tours is very easy. They respond very quickly to all our questions.
Everything is well organized. We went to the meeting point to meet our guide, Johnny Jackson. He is very kind and always available for us. He answered all our questions and was very professional!
He did everything possible to make sure we could see as much as possible. He’s excellent.
We slept in very comfortable tents for a very reasonable price. Don’t hesitate—go for it!
