A highly professional, reliable tour operator that delivers perfectly planned, personalized safaris!
We had an amazing safari experience with Jocky Tours & Safaris in Kenya and highly recommend them!
Right from the start, they were very prompt in responding to our emails and did a fantastic job of customizing the trip to suit our needs and preferences. The hotel pickup and drop in Nairobi, safari rides, and all stay arrangements were handled perfectly, making the entire journey smooth and hassle-free. The hotels were excellent—clean, comfortable, grand, and with great service and food. The safari drives were well planned, giving us wonderful wildlife viewing opportunities.
A special thanks to Mr. Dennis, our guide and driver, who was outstanding—polite, patient, punctual, and a very safe driver. His knowledge and sharp eye helped us spot all the animals we hoped to see, and he took great care of us throughout the trip.
An unforgettable experience! We highly recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris and Mr. Dennis to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Guide Kikitu
Our 5-day safari with Jocky Tours and Safaris was an unforgettable experience and absolutely worth every dollar.
We visited Masai Mara National Park, a Maasai village, Nakuru, Lake Nakuru, and Hell’s Gate, and from day one everything was well organized. I traveled with my girlfriend, and during the trip our group grew into an amazing mix of people from Spain, Romania, the USA, South Korea, and more. Thanks to our guide Kikitu, we quickly became one friendly group and had great fun throughout the whole journey.
Kikitu is an outstanding guide in every possible way — extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, an excellent and safe driver, always on time, very well organized, and genuinely friendly. His English and communication were great, and he was especially good at keeping the whole group connected. He truly was the glue that made this experience special.
We were incredibly lucky with wildlife sightings. We saw giraffes, zebras, gazelles, buffaloes, warthogs, cheetahs, lions, leopards, black rhinos, hippos, and many more. Honestly, it’s hard to think of an animal living there that we didn’t see. Kikitu always seemed to know exactly where to go and when.
The safari vehicle was in great condition. Some roads were rough, which turned parts of the drive into a bit of a roller-coaster — free massage included 😅 — but that’s part of the real safari adventure.
Accommodation was okay and clean, nothing luxury but perfectly fine for a safari. In one camp the hot water was not working, which is worth mentioning, but the hotel pool later was a great bonus. Food was good, though a bit repetitive (mostly chicken, rice, spinach), but the fresh fruit was exceptional.
The price was very fair for what we received, and the value for money is excellent. Tips are welcomed by the staff but never forced or asked for — you tip only if you want and if you feel it’s deserved, which we really appreciated.
Useful tip: if you plan to pay at the office, bring cash.
Card payments have a 5% bank fee, which can add up (for us it would have been about $55 for two people)
— much better spent during the safari itself.
This was definitely not our last visit. We are already planning to come back with a bigger group of friends and even our parents. We were not sure if this kind of trip would be suitable for older people, but now we know it absolutely is - and we could easily imagine it even with kids, as we saw other families doing it.
Highly recommended, especially if you get Kikitu as your guide.

Awesome Safari Experience
We had an amazing safari with Africa Jocky Tours & Safaris and enjoyed every moment. A big thank you to our guide John Walter — he was always reliable, a very good driver, and he explained the different animal species really well. On top of that, he was humorous and fun to be around, which made the whole trip even better.
Because of John Walter, we truly enjoyed the tour and will definitely recommend this team. 5 stars! 🦁🐘🦒

The best safari ever!!
We would like to sincerely thank Joshua, our safari guide in Masai Mara. He was truly outstanding — kind, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly smart. Thanks to him, we were able to see all the amazing animals up close and enjoy an unforgettable safari experience. We are extremely happy and grateful, and we honestly could not have asked for a better guide.

Unforgettable Safari! Papa John & Jims are professional, punctual, and amazing at spotting wildlife.
Professional, Reliable, and Stress-Free Safari with Papa John & Jims!
I just finished my Kenya Safari, and I cannot recommend our guides, Papa John and Jims, highly enough. They are incredibly friendly, reliable, and professional individuals who truly made our journey special.
The entire trip was perfectly organized. They managed our itinerary with great care, balancing game drives with well-timed breaks and lunch stops during long transfers. They were exceptionally punctual, always arriving exactly on time every morning to pick us up. They also took care of all the essentials, ensuring we had plenty of water and delicious packed lunches every day. We didn't have to worry about a single thing—we just sat back and enjoyed the adventure.
In the national parks, their expertise really shone through. They have an incredible knack for spotting wildlife and provided fascinating insights about the animals we encountered. Moreover, they know all the best viewpoints and "photo spots," ensuring we saw everything we hoped for.
Regarding optional activities, John was very transparent. He provided detailed introductions and clear pricing, giving us total freedom to decide without any pressure. There were no forced sales or hidden costs, which we truly appreciated. They simply adjusted the next day's schedule based on our preferences.
Overall, this was a top-tier experience. If you are planning a trip to Kenya, Papa John and Jims are the best guides you could ask for!
