Jocky Tours and our guide Johhny did a great job
I'm happy that we booked through Jocky Tours. Our guide, Johnny, was excellent and put a lot of effort in so that we experience the Masai Mara in the best way possible. We saw rare sightings and even saw the Big 5 in a single morning before 12:00. We also spent time looking at the smaller animals and birds.

Great experience!
We had a 5day safari through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Lake Naivasha. Our Captain was Moses and he is an all round professional. Huge wildlife knowledge, great driving skills and a big comedian as an extra! Somehow we were always at the right place, right time and were greeted by the animals really close. And for my fellow tall guys (6ft9), the land cruisers with open up roofs have plenty of space!

Jocky Tours were very responsive and professional
We were lucky to have Johnny as our guide. He went the extra mile to make sure we saw excelent sightings and that we enjoy every minute of our trip. He is a very professional guide and can really recommend him.

Julius was the best game driver ever
Jocky is the most affordable budget safari for the Masai Mara. All safari companies and all hotels travel to the same places but what makes it special is the guide you’re with. Julius was our guide for a group safari. He was so funny, joyful, good at driving, and is very famous ;) He also helped me get transportation to Naivasha after my safari and helped me get a cab to get myself on the correct Matatu back to Nairobi. He has good connections and was good at spotting and finding animals. Hopefully you get Julius because he is the best! Book with Jocky for a budget safari to save money but get 14/10 service!

Excellent
We booked a 6-day private safari to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. We are very satisfied with the price–quality ratio, the content of the tour, and the quick responses via email.
Our guide, STEVE, was very experienced and had a lot of knowledge about the animals and Kenya. He was a very pleasant guide to spend six days with. We also booked the Maasai Village visit as an extra, which was a very unique experience. I would recommend others to book with Jocky Tours(& Steve) as well.

Jocky Tours was well prepared.
The safari was well prepared. We were picked up at the agreed time at our hotel on the first day and each following day the pick-up time for the next day was clearly said by the driver (who was also the guide) David Mukami, and he was always there on time to pick us up.
In the parks, David coordinated well with other people in the park to show us the animals. We saw many lions, as well as other animals.
The accomodations (tent camp) at Masai Mara were okay for a budget safari, the hotel at Nakuru was very nice.

There was clear communication and everything was planned well
The whole experience was great. The communication was clear from the beginning to the end. They indeed are a reliable operator. The accommodation was also well planned in advance.
The driver, David Mukami, who doubled down as a tour guide was great. He was well versed with Masai Mara and explained everything clearly.

Amazing safari
We had a great experience with papa john, the best guide. He knows many things about animals and we saw all the big 5 easily thanks to him ( we saw also an amazing lions battle!) Because he knows animals habits.
Food and accomadation are very nice!
Thank you papa john

A great experience in many different places, full of animals and emotions
The tour has been great, Masai Mara has been one of the best experiences in my life and I've seen cheetahs and leopards, which I hadn't seen in the past years. Another exciting experience was Hell's gate, and a must see is going to the Gorge (optional). I highly suggest crescent island as well, there's a bit of extra to pay but totally worth it.

Everything we could have asked for and more
From the beginning our tour with Papa John has been great, he provided plenty of information before every journey and explained what would be happening day by day so we were well informed.
During the tour he was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and masai people. You can tell he is extremely passionate about the animals and teaching visitors about them, he goes past just explaining the animals and their habitat but also has scientific explanations for why some things occur, we didn't have a question he couldn't answer.
While on the safari John identified a group of lions, he knew before it happened that the male and female was likely to mate and we were lucky to see the 10 seconds of wonder, he also spotted an older larger male nearby and kept close enough for us to get a great view of what would become a fight for dominance, his expertise meant we were truly fortunate to witness both events.
We've felt safe throughout our tour and have had everything we've needed, we would definitely recommend and hopefully work with Papa John and Jocky tours again.
