Amazing experience.
Although it was my first time joining a safari, Joshua, our driver, was kind and professional from beginning to end. His knowledge of the safari and the animals exceeded my expectations, and I especially appreciated how much he cares about the animals in the park—for example, he always kept a respectful distance and never approached them too closely.
We were very lucky and ended up seeing the Big Five during the tour, thanks to him.
I highly recommend this tour.

Seeing the Big Five with such a kind guide made this tour absolutely amazing
Great communication, excellent service, and amazing value for money. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, and thanks to our kind and reliable guide—who was always attentive to hygiene, water, and toilet needs—we could fully enjoy the long safari hours without any stress.

An exceptional safari experience with Jocky Tours
We went on a 7-day safari with Jocky Tours, exploring the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and the experience was fantastic throughout the week. We were lucky to have Dennis as our guide, who knew the areas perfectly and knew exactly where to go and when to approach them. While a safari isn't solely about experience, having such a knowledgeable guide certainly helps a great deal. Thanks to him, we were fortunate enough to see all the animals, and up close, which made the trip even more special. Overall, an incredible experience and highly recommended.

A Well-Organized Safari with an Excellent Guide
We went on a 3-night safari and had a truly wonderful experience. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the safari exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Papa Johns, was highly skilled, knowledgeable, and made the trip both safe and enjoyable. We felt well taken care of throughout the journey and would highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris to others looking for a memorable safari experience.

Incredible and very recommended experience
If I had to sum up my experience in one word, this would be incredible. Jocky Tours is a serious and reliable company (they even helped us with the train tickets) , and what can I say about Dennis (our guide and driver)? He was kind, patient, respectful, and always looking out for us. I definitely recommend this company, and if you're lucky to have a guide like him, your experience for sure will be fantastic!

Hire professionnals
Accommodation was fine and according to expectation (that's the +1 star) but the guide Solomon, rather call him the driver was not at the level at all: confusions on accommodation places and morning meeting hours, not very good placement during safaris, no communication, vague and short answers, question able eyesight for animals with no binoculars of his own.
Add to it an old car not very confortable full of 8 people from 3 différent agencies, and with car radio not working, i call it amateurism as you can find Chinese talkie radio for 30-35usd only ! All car passengers agreed on it.
Result: no bearded lion, no leopard spotted meaning no Big five completed.
For 1500usd/pax for 6 days (even 2000 for some other passengers), you are in the right to expect better as we feel guide accounts for a good 60% of experience.
It was even more frustrating as on the final transfer from office to hotel, another guide of this agency Louis explained us far more things about the animals in 20mins than Solomon in 6 days... Then maybe kind of bad luck on the 20 drivers they have, still HUGE disappointment on our main yearly trip.
So i want to mostly blame here the agency who appointed us someone not tailored for this job who they should propose to reconvert as maybe taxi driver... And despite reclamations during trip agency did not agree to change driver halfway as well.
I wont redo it and definitely dont recommend this agency and its sisters (jungle roam/jocky tours/Big five).
