James Gichina was an amazing guide! He knew all the hotspots and took great care of us!
This tour was absolutely fantastic! It blew our expectations out of the water! James Gichina was our tour operator and he was 10/10! If you manage to get him as your tour guide you've won the jackpot! He knew all the best spots and was incredibly knowledgeable, answering and and all our questions. No task was too big or too small and while it's not guaranteed to see all the animals James Gichina has a knack for showing up at the right places at the right time! Highlights include multiple elephant crossings, an elephant bull fight, two leopards, lions, buffalo, rhino, hippo, giraffes grazing within touching distance and so many more. The tour was organised great leaving us feeling safe and secure with each day planned out for us. As a notoriously picky eater I was concerned about meals. However the food was delicious and there was something for me at every meal!

Incredible guide! So knowledgeable, thoughtful & made our Kenya safari truly unforgettable
Booking through the tour was easy and required little effort as they handed everything. We chose the budget option and we got great value for money.
A BIG shout out to our guide, James Gichina.
Our 7-day safari in Kenya was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts about the wildlife and environment that truly enriched the experience. He always made sure we had plenty of time to observe the animals, never rushing us, and clearly understood how special this trip was for us. His respect for our experience and attention to detail made everything feel personal and meaningful. Each day, he gave us a clear, helpful rundown of what to expect, which made us feel well-prepared and excited. His driving skills were exceptional, and he knew every park like the back of his hand, navigating with ease and confidence. We couldn't have asked for a better guide—he made our safari everything we hoped for and more!

An unforgettable experience, Dennis treated us with politeness and respect. It was clear that he had a wealth of knowledge about the parks and the animals in the area. It was a wonderful trip, with excellent trip planning and timely park changes. Without a doubt highly recommended.

Very well organized,everything was perfectly planned to enjoy all the activities.
We had an unforgettable experience with Jocky Tours and our driver Dennis, absolutely recommendable! Thanks to his professionalism, knowledge, and dedication, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five and the Ugly Five, which truly exceeded our expectations. Dennis always knew the perfect spots for sightings and made sure we were comfortable and informed throughout the journey.
The accommodations during the safari were all good, clean, and well organized. We especially want to highlight the last lodge in Amboseli, which was amazing. Our original tent wasn’t available, so they upgraded us to a much better one.
Thank you to the whole Jocky Tours team for such a complete and memorable adventure.

Unforgettable Safari Experience – Made Exceptional by Our Guide
From the moment our group of 7 was picked up in Nairobi, our safari experience was nothing short of magical. But what truly elevated the trip to a once-in-a-lifetime adventure was our guide, Richie, whose knowledge, passion, and attentiveness were unparalleled.
We embarked on a 3-day safari in the Masai Mara and each day brought something new and breathtaking — lion prides lounging in the morning sun, leopards resting in trees, Cheetahs, Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, just to name a few . Thanks to our guide’s deep understanding of animal behavior and incredible tracking skills, we never missed a moment.
What set Richie apart was not just the ability to spot animals, but the way he went to great lengths for us to be able to get the best view and experience. He also shared facts about ecosystems, conservation challenges, and even tribal folklore — all with humility and warmth. He was equally skilled at reading our group, knowing when to pause for photos, when to sit in silence, and when to laugh and tell stories.
He ensured our safety without ever compromising our sense of adventure. Whether it was getting us up close to a herd of elephants without disturbing them or positioning the vehicle perfectly for sunrise over the savannah, his attention to detail and respect for nature were constant.
This safari was not just about wildlife — it was about connection: to nature, to culture, and to the people who make these wild places come alive. And that connection was made possible by the remarkable guide who led us through it all.

I had a wonderful safari with our guide Kikitu who showed all the big fives and many more.
The safari was in 3 steps: Masai Mara, Narakuru, Ambolesi. Each reserve has its specialties. However for people have only few days, Masai Mara is definitely the best.

The best tour operators in Kenya
We had an anmazing experience with Jocky on the 7 day trip. Francis was our tour guide and he exceeded our expectations in making our game drives a success. We spotted all the big 5 on a single day. He took us close to all animals and kept our requests for photography as well. Highly recommend this tour operator for a budget tour and Francis for being the best tour operator who has made this trip so memorable for us.

excellent
We had a fantastic tour with a wonderful driver-guide Jimna, who was punctual, witty, interesting storyteller, on the route: Masai Mara-Nakuru-Naivasha. The organization of the safari for our family was great! Thanks to Jimna we met all the big five and it was amazing! Accommodation and food throughout the safari was perfect, we loved everything. I can confidently recommend Jocky tours and our guide Jimna to anyone going on safari in Kenya. Thank you!
