Wonderful Experience
I rarely write reviews, but the service we received from jocky tours and travel was so far beyond exceptional that I have to share. For us we did a 3-day tour at Amboseli national park, and it was flawlessly executed from the moment we started planning.
Jocky the organization handled everything with incredible precision and attention to detail. Their pricing is very fair, and the value you get is truly premium. Jocky is also incredibly well-connected; the luxury camp they lined up for us was outstanding, and the staff at the property treated us with a level of hospitality that exceeded all expectations. Every logistical detail was handled with zero mistakes.
Then there was our guide, Francis , who was a total professional and an absolute joy to be around. Vincent was waiting for us right at the airport to transfer us to Francis our tour guide setting the tone for the entire trip. Francis knowledge of the wild is mind-blowing—he didn't just spot animals, he explained their behaviors and life cycles in a way that made the experience so much richer. Thanks to him, we checked off three of the Big Five and enjoyed jaw-dropping, close-up encounters with lions, elephants and a cheetah at a far distance.
If you want a flawless, medium or high end and deeply personal safari experience, Jocky tours is the gold standard. Thank you, Jocky and francis for making our trip unforgettable!

Majestic
Julius was amazing throughout our entire safari. He was always patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and had an exceptional talent for finding the best wildlife viewing spots. He was kind, thoughtful, and always made sure we were comfortable.
On top of that, he was genuinely funny and so warm and friendly that it felt like we had known him for years. He made our safari even more special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!

AMAZING
The tour is really well-organized; I have no negative feedback at all. A special shout-out goes to our legendary driver Julius—he's the absolute best! Knowledgeable, super fun, and during the safari, he ensures you get the best possible experience away from the jeep traffic jams. Excellent value for money

Excellent budget option
Great choice for solo travellers on a budget. Had an amazing time on the 6 day tour, due to the great itinerary and incredibly friendly staff. However, due to it being the low budget one must be prepared for basic food and accomodation. there is also a lot of travel time to and from hotels pickup up other guests. Curio shops at pit stops quote outlandish prices, something id wish they discouraged. As long as one is aware and manages expectations then would recommend jockey tours.

Absolutely fantastic!!!!!
We booked a 3 day safari to Amboseli national park, We were really struggling to decide who to book through as the amount of safari companies out there were overwhelming. We didn't know anyone that had been on a safari to Amboseli previously to recommend us, and so we did our research and looked through the reviews of a lot of different companies, and to us jocky tours and travel stuck out. And we're so glad we went with them!
They helped us organise it from the beginning and answered any questions that we had. They helped put a personalised package together with our wishes and needs. Vincent met us at the airport at the start of the tour for transfer.
Our tour guide was Francis and he was amazing! We booked a private tour, so it was just the two of us for the 3 days and Francis became a friend, we laughed and joked and had such a great time!
Francis was able to recommend us things to do as extra activities and we really enjoyed..
We were able to see 3 of the Big 5! We had some extremely close encounters with Elephants and two big male Lions!
It was a truly magical experience and having Francis as our tour guide completed it for us!
He was extremely knowledgeable. We learnt so much from him and he was able to spot animals, even from so far away! For example, he spotted a cheetah in the distance! Many animals we wouldn't have spotted if it wasn't for Francis !
The safari was clean and was very comfortable and we have no complaints whatsoever!
We will be back, and we'll be using jocky again, especially asking for Francis !!!! Thank you so much jocky and Francis ..

Perfect safari with Isaac!
We had an amazing safari and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guide, Issac, was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and always went the extra mile to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible. Thanks to his determination, we saw an incredible variety of animals, including the unforgettable sighting of a black rhino.
The accommodation throughout the trip was excellent. Every lodge was clean, comfortable, and in beautiful locations, making it the perfect place to relax after each day’s game drive. The staff were welcoming, the food was great, and everything was very well organised.
A huge thank you to Issac for making this such a memorable trip. We would highly recommend both him and this safari company to anyone visiting Kenya.

Robin was an amazing guide I recommend
Our safari with Robin was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife. His ability to spot animals, explain their behavior, and answer every question made every game drive exciting and educational.
Robin always made sure we were comfortable, safe, and in the best positions for amazing wildlife sightings. His experience and dedication gave us incredible opportunities to see Kenya's breathtaking landscapes and wildlife up close.
If you're planning a safari in Kenya, we highly recommend Robin. His professionalism, patience, and enthusiasm turned our trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Robin, for making our safari so memorable—we hope to return and explore Kenya with you again!
