Excellent tour with Papa John 🦁🦏
5/5

We were incredibly lucky to have Papa John as our guide for six unforgettable days in Kenya.
He is incredibly caring and always wants the very best for you. He makes you feel comfortable and safe, both inside and outside the parks. Papa is truly caring and always goes the extra mile to make sure you experience the very best of the safari. Thanks to him, we experienced so many unforgettable moments: a lion climbing a tree, watching a pride of lions feast, spotting cheetahs multiple times, and even seeing a rhino just a few meters away.

Thanks to his perfect positioning, I was able to capture amazing photos with my camera every single time.

Papa John is relaxed, friendly, and truly a pleasure to be around. I also really appreciated his genuine interest in my photos. It shows that he has a real heart for both his passengers and for nature.

Papa John, I wish you and your family all the best. I hope you will enjoy this passion for many more years to come! Thank you for everything!

In short: if you are booking a safari, I highly recommend doing it with Papa John!

Amazing !!!
5/5

We have done a 7-day tour and everything has been perfect! We have seen the 5 great and many animals thanks to the driver/guide Jonh Walter who tried hard to find animals and that we could take photos from different angles, it has been a great experience, the time is optimized to the maximum, I recommend 100% the company jockey tours and its driver/guide Jonh Walter.

All went perfect
5/5

Incredible. We didn't know what to expect because it was our first time in Kenya, but it exceeded all our expectations. John Walter is a driver/guide who made it possible for us to see the Big 5, always trying to help us, explaining things, and with a great sense of humor. On the other hand, upon arrival, we didn't have a Spanish-speaking guide as we had agreed, but two hours into the trip, when we thought we wouldn't have one, they found one and he came with us. Furthermore, they picked us up promptly and dropped us off at the airport on time. I would definitely go back and recommend it.

Great Maasai Mara Experience
5/5

I had a wonderful Maasai Mara safari trip with Jocky Tours and my driver, Wycliffe. Although the trip was quite short (Only 3 days. I highly recommend going for longer because the drive from Nairobi to Maasai Mara takes 6–7 hours, which leaves very little time for game viewing), I had the chance to see elephants, lions, cheetahs, and — very luckily — witness a spectacular river crossing during the great wildebeest migration.

Wycliffe was very thoughtful and knowledgeable about the Maasai Mara, and he shared a lot of information with us throughout the trip. I stayed at Lenchada Camping, and as a solo traveller, I was given a private tent with full amenities and a spacious bathroom. The staff at the tour office were also very kind — they even accompanied me to exchange money since I hadn’t brought USD or KES.

One small suggestion would be for Lenchada Camping: since the tents are not soundproof, we could hear everything going on outside. Some guests were talking and laughing very loudly in the middle of the night, while most people needed to rest early after a long day and to wake up early the next morning. For this reason, it would be helpful if Lenchada had a rule prohibiting noise after 10 or 11 PM to ensure all guests can rest and stay healthy.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the trip and hope to return someday.

Absolutely unforgettable experience with John Walter from Jocky Tours!
5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From the moment our safari began, John’s passion, deep knowledge, and incredible spotting skills made every moment special. He knew exactly where to be and when, giving us front-row views of wildlife we could only dream of—lions on the hunt, elephants at sunrise, and even rare bird sightings we would’ve totally missed without him.

Beyond that, John was kind, funny, super professional, and made us feel safe and cared for the entire journey. He knew Amboseli and Masai Mara like the back of his hand, and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best views, best photos, and best stories to tell.

If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, I can’t recommend John Walter enough—he truly made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, John & Jocky Tours! 🙌🦁🐘

Perfect 7 days trip with Jocky, thank you for our guide:Hemfrid
5/5

We booked a 7-day, 6-page trip for a very good price.
- The reliable guide allowed us to see almost all the animals we wanted to see (cheetahs, leopards, lions, rhinos, etc.), and even explained the animals' preferences to us.
- The accommodations were also very good. One day, they assigned us the wrong tent, but the driver helped us negotiate a better room with the camp owner and was very attentive to our suggestions.
- We didn't ask for tips, but the driver was very responsible.
