Honest and Fun . I felt extremely comfortable
Our driver, Ben was amazing, he was always ontime, he drove us safely and took very good care of us.
He went above and beyond to help us see all the animals, gave us recommendations for local places to get the best quality and prices.
And any questions he was happy to help

Francis is a great open guy really putting in the effort to provide a great experience!
I had a great time with Francis as our guide. We really had luck seeing two black rhinos together and in general saw such a spectacular amount of animals. I think this was especially true because Francis really put in the effort, communicating with other drivers to see where the hotspots are.

Very organized and responsive tour operator, excellent driver
I took the 5-day Safari for Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, lake Nakuru and Hell’s gate. Positive:
1) Our driver, Dennis, is an excellent professional, very friendly and knowledgeable. He did everything he could to bring us as close as possible to all the animals and was giving us enough time to take photos and observe them.
2) all the hotels/accommodation booked by the operator was of very good quality
3) Also the hikking at Hells gate was an amazing experience and the local tour guide very cool guy
Negative:
1) I think that 5-days for this trip was a bit too much. Lake Naivasha and Nakuru could easily been seen in one day, so the customer could save the expenses for the 4th night. When in Lake Nakuru and Naivasha, we arrived quite early at our hotels and it felt kind of boring at some point.
All in all, it was a great experience thanks to Dennis (out driver), I highly recommend Jocky tours, but maybe for shorter duration safari.

An incredible experience !
An absolutely unforgettable experience !
We did a 4x4 safari in Kenya and everything was perfectly organized. The vehicle was comfortable and very well suited to the terrain, with a sunroof ideal for observing animals and taking pictures.
Our guide Dennis was very good. He was very attentive and took care of our safety.
We were able to see the Big Five and live incredible moments in the middle of nature.

A Historical Day Made by Our Guide, Francis
I recently completed a 3-day, 2-night safari tour through Jocky Tours. My guide, Francis, was absolutely amazing—5 stars aren't enough to describe how great he was.
Before we set off on the first day, he promised to make this a "historical day" for us, and he truly delivered on that promise. Once we entered the Maasai Mara, he was incredible at spotting wildlife and finding the most breathtaking landscapes. He always managed to secure the best vantage points, getting us much closer to the animals than other vehicles. Thanks to his skills, we had a truly spectacular experience.
Although I’m a bit sad we didn't get to see the leopard to complete the Big Five, it just gives me a reason to come back. I can't wait to return and explore the park with Francis again to find that leopard!

Amazing wildlife experience
Booking and pickup was very smooth. After meeting our tourguide Francis, we drove from Nairobis city center to Masai Mara. The first afternoon we saw lions, giraffes, zebras and elephants. The second day Francis did a full day tour with us, seeing 2 rhinos, crocodiles and hippos. The group was pretty chilled. Francis clearly is experienced, as we often got to see an animal first before the other cars approached. He also anticipated a lot of animal movement which gave us a perfect view at the rhinos.
Thank you very much for the amazing experience.

Excellent organisation!! Súper!!
We had a safari with John Walter and was perfect and incredible. He and jockey organised in all particular. Was a relax safari and tour without any problem. We are very happy to chose them and to have John!! We saw the big "four" ( at exclusion of rhino because impossible to see in masai mara). I have no words that to define like "a perfect safari".
If we cam back we go directly with John Walter and jockey.
Thanks John Walter and jocky for this incredible safari and experience.

Good experience
This was our first safari, and it was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Alberto, made this tour truly unique and was always willing to help with everything we needed. Thanks to his knowledge and dedication, we were able to see all the animals and fully enjoy the national parks.
The agency staff is a very kind and attentive team. Musembi helped us choose the tour and was always available to answer all our questions.
Thank you very much for making us feel comfortable and truly welcome

Excellent
The Jocky tour safari guide Tribon made the trip to Masai Mara from Nairobi for the 3 days made it an excellent experience. Amazing guy, always smiling and going the extra mile to make the trip memorable. Tribon was like family man from day 1. While selecting the best tour operators are important, selecting the best tour guide like Tribon is even more important. Ask for Tribon when you reserve from Jocky Tours. Happy Masai Mara.

Exceptional experience
Our 7-day group safari through Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli exceeded every expectation and will stay with us forever. From the very beginning to the final day, everything was thoughtfully organized and ran smoothly.
A huge part of what made this journey so special was our guide, Francis. His passion for wildlife and deep knowledge of the parks were remarkable, but what truly set him apart was his commitment to us as guests. He went out of his way every single day to track animals, position the vehicle perfectly, and make sure we never felt rushed or missed out. It was clear that giving us the best possible safari experience genuinely mattered to him, and that made all the difference.
We stayed in tented safari camps, which struck the perfect balance between comfort and adventure. Each camp was well maintained, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the meals were consistently fresh and flavorful. Falling asleep to the sounds of nature around us was magical and added a level of authenticity you simply can’t replicate elsewhere.
Before the trip even began, Jocky Tours impressed us with their excellent communication. They were responsive, clear, and professional, answering all our questions and making the planning process stress-free.
All in all, this safari was everything we hoped for and more. If you’re considering a Kenyan safari and want an experience that feels personal, well-guided, and truly unforgettable, Jocky Tours, and especially Francis, come highly recommended.
