5/5

Communication with Jocky tours was efficient and clear before our trip. And our guide/driver Alex is very professional, we were all super impressed by his driving skill. We had managed to see all the animal we hope to see, thanks to Alex !
We had signed up for the budget tour and it's def. a great value for money.

A Guide Like No Other – Thank You, Kikitu!
5/5

Our safari experience in Kenya wouldn’t have been the same without Kikitu. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in the hands of a true professional. His organization was flawless — everything ran smoothly and effortlessly thanks to his careful planning and attention to detail. Even when plans had to be adjusted last-minute, he handled everything with calm, confidence, and a smile.

What truly stood out, however, was his deep knowledge of the parks, the wildlife, and Kenya as a whole. He seemed to know every corner of Tsavo, Amboseli, and Maasai Mara like the back of his hand. Thanks to him, we were able to spot the Big Five and learn so much about animal behavior, ecosystems, and local culture. Every drive was both exciting and educational.

Beyond his skills and expertise, Kikitu is simply a wonderful person — warm, kind, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Traveling with him felt more like exploring Kenya with a good friend than with a guide. We feel incredibly lucky to have had him with us and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Fantastic experience
5/5

We had a great experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris. From the beginning, their communication was clear and responsive. They explained the different options for our 6-day Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli tour, and the price was really good value.

Our flight ended up being delayed by a day thanks to Kenya Airways, but Jocky were super flexible and adjusted the start of our tour without any fuss. We still got to enjoy most of our planned accommodation, though we did have to swap one night at Sopa Lodge for Sentrim. Sopa was definitely the better of the two, but overall things worked out well. Payment was easy too — they accept cash, card or bank transfer.

Our guide David was fantastic. He really knew his stuff when it came to the wildlife and the different areas we visited. He was always patient, made sure we were comfortable (especially during the longer drives), and genuinely wanted us to enjoy ourselves. Would definitely recommend David as a guide.

Highly responsive and knowledgeable
5/5

Jocky Tours and Safaris were clear and responsive with their communications from the start. They detailed the itineraries available for our 6D5N Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli mid-range tour, with their cost being great value for money. We had an unfortunate mishap with our flight being delayed by a day due to Kenya Airways and Jocky were able to accommodate a later start time for our tour. As a result, we were able to obtain most of our accommodation (although we had to swap Sopa Lounge with Sentrim for a day, and we felt Sopa was definitely much better than the later). Jockey accepted payment by cash, card or bank transfer.

We had David as our guide who was highly experienced and knowledgeable about the areas and likely animal whereabouts. He was attentive to our needs and ensured the trip was as enjoyable and comfortable as possible (especially when some legs had long driving times). Highly recommend David as a guide.

The tour operator was very organized, reliable and committed to provide an unforgettable safari
5/5

We had an incredible experience on our private safari tour to Kenya! Our guide, Kikitu, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and truly passionate about the wildlife and the environment. Kikitu went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and got the most out of every game drive! We had unforgettable animal sightings and every moment was well planned and exciting! I highly recommend Jocky Tours, and especially our guide Kikitu, for anyone looking to explore nature with a skilled, amazing and very friendly guide!

The travel agency provided professional service and seamless communication.
5/5

Our guide, Johny, was extremely professional, considerate, responsible, and sincere. Over the past seven days on safari, we had many wonderful experiences. In the Maasai Mara, we witnessed lions hunting buffalo. In Nakuru, we saw many rhinos, and in Amboseli, we encountered countless elephants. Johny’s driving skills are excellent, he always managed to arrive at the right spot in time to see the animals and secure the best positions for photography. I was extremely satisfied with Johny Jackson’s service and would recommend him to anyone as a guide.

Excellent tour from all points of view
5/5

It was a beautiful experience, thanks above all to Papa, a perfect guide and able to make you feel at ease always, always available for anything. He always manages to find all the animals! His way of driving the off-road vehicle is impeccable! Even inside the parks it is as if you were on a normal road. I recommend a guide like him to everyone. Thanks for everything Papa, wonderful person.
