He was the best tour guide I ever had!
5/5

The service was awesome ! We got picked up from the hotel! Our guide was funny, nice and very considerate! Whenever we needed anything he made it or find it for us :)
The tour was definitely worth every single penny !:)
The first day we did an evening drive which already was great !
But the second day we did Safari all day long ! I can definitely recommend getting up early, around 5:30 to have enough time to find all the animals you’re looking for :) our drive was awesome! We saw 4 of the bis fives and saw lions four times and two leopards!
All I can say is we had a perfect trip and I can more than recommend it

Straight forward and simple to book and incredible experience from professional tour guides
5/5

Me and my husband booked Jocky Tours to visit Amboseli for our honeymoon trip. Our guide Andrew picked us up from our Airbnb and drove us to the destination. Throughout the trip, Andrew was very attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to ensure we saw the Kilimanjaro mountain during various stages of the day and also for us to see as many of the wild animals Amboseli has to offer. We stayed at Kibo Lodge Amboseli which was 10/10. The staff, the food, the view and overal ambience was the best I have experienced.

I cannot thank Jocky Tours & Safari, our guide Andrew and the staff at Kibo Lodge Amboseli enough for providing us with the most incredible honeymoon experience ever!

If you are thinking of booking, don’t hesitate and make sure you ask for Andrew as your guide.

Kind regards,

Nina & Ahmed

Trip of a lifetime!
5/5

Everything was arranged for us and we didn’t have to plan anything except which tour we wanted. From airport pickup to airport drop off everything was wonderful. Jimmy, our guide, was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife. He took care of us the entire trip even after the safari ended and we spent a couple extra days in Nairobi. We wouldn’t want anyone else as our guide!

Laughs, great atmosphere and the best experience in Maasai Mara
5/5

We went in a 3 days tour with Kikitu as our guide and it was a great experience. He was punctual to take us in Nairobi airport and the road trip to Maasai Mara, although it's long, was fun and amusing! Kikitu is really funny and makes everything looks easy! First day in Maasai Mara we were already surprised by lots of animals and we saw a beautiful sunset. However, second day was when it was really amazing! Kikitu took us to see the sunrise in the most beautiful place and from then, we spent whole day in a game ride seeing animals. He is a great guide, able to find and see all the animals around the place, and he looks truly respectful with them and their space. We saw a huge number of animals in their own habitat, eating, sleeping, hunting, swimming... and all the big 5 expect for rhino. Also, Kikitu explained us lots of things regarding the habits or life forms of the different animals, as well as information about nature and the Maasai Mara itself. He was a great guide, and also a great company for us!We had a great time together. We finished our tour on the third day with a visit to a Maasai Village to learn a bit more about such a different culture, and we were taken to the airport on time again.
Great experience Kikitu! Thanks!

Experience of a lifetime!
5/5

We loved traveling with Jocky Tours! Jimmy Thenyai was the best tour guide! We never lacked anything and he was always willing to help by answering questions, planning outings, and genuinely making our trip outstanding. Jimmy always had a smile for us and patience for many, many questions and our special requests for finding that perfect, safe, scenic spot. We saw all the big five animals and many more outstanding and amazing organisms found in the Masai Mara Reserve and the Lake Nakuru Natural Park. We even saw two leopards in ONE day!! All I can say is, Wow!! This was a life changing experience for us and Jimmy and Jocky Tours made all the difference in making our trip the experience of a lifetime!

Unforgettable experience
5/5

This tour was AMAZING! Starting from the pickup on time with the driver James. The trip was great with a fabulous group. We saw all the animals. Dennis, out tour guide answer all our questions and was always letting us know what we were doing and the plan ahead.

I love the respect for the animals. Dennis, our guide was always respectful to keep a safe distance from the animals in a way that was relaxed for them and we could enjoy seeing them in their environment without disturbing them.

The people at the camp, especially Helen were incredible making sure we had everything we needed it.

It was an unforgettable experience.

Thanks for showing the world your beautiful country :)

Amazingly smooth, flexible organization & family like approach
5/5

Safari with Jocky Tours was an outstanding and amazingly organized experience. Starting from the first email finishing with the ‘goodbye’ at the airport everything was smooth, very well thought and enjoyable. Even when we had a doubt about one of us coming to safari just 2 days before the start (luckily we were both able to make it in the end), jocky was very flexible in reorganizing the trip for 1 person with very good conditions. Richard our guide was a very pleasant company , again very flexible, however keeping the eye on the schedule to show us maximum possible. Being 2 girls not used to wake up at 5 am, that was quite helpful :) He also knew a lot about the animals and Kenya in general that was very interesting to discover during our long conversations on the way. Even though our safari was in English, it was an unexpected surprise that Richard spoke fluent Russian and sometimes it was helpful to check the exact name of the animal or if we needed to discuss something privately. Also he took into account all our wishes even if it was last minute. As he always said his goal is to make the dream come true and that is what actually happened! We saw all the animals that we couldn’t even imagine to see , mind blowing sunsets and sunrises, breathtaking nature and enjoyed one of the best accommodations we had in our lives (our stay at Zebra Plains Collection Camp was just beyond all expectations). Also we felt that everything was taking care of, so we don’t need to even think about anything and just relaxed and enjoyed our time. It was really ‘family’ kind of approach. We really recommend the trip with Jocky Tours&Richard to make the best of Kenya wonders.
