50% trust, lack of clarity
If you book the 4-day tour (Masai Mara + Lake Nakuru), be sure to carefully review the detailed itinerary they send you. It may differ from the one originally advertised, and the changes aren’t always obvious.
On Day 3, the program mentions a possible boat tour depending on timing — but this never happens, even though you arrive around 14:00, which would allow enough time for an activity.
In fact, the driver confirmed to us that nothing was planned at all for that afternoon — he told us this first thing in the morning, clearly indicating that this was known in advance.
So, on Day 3, expect only a 4-hour drive and not activity. This does not depend on arrival time! It is a saving for them not offering an activity on the 3rd day!
The experienxe itself was great but there is clear a lack of clarity.

What an amazing experience in Africa
We joined a 3 days safari tour to Masai mara. And it is much much more fun and exciting than what we expected. Especially our guide James Gichina, he is an amazing driver, excellent guide with professional knowledge and driving skills to show us how’s all the animals. He focused on the game drive and we were amazed by how skilfully and quickly he found the animals.
Great appreciation for James Gichina again!

Great Game Drive
The game drive was great, saw a lot of animals. Driver James Gichina is skilful and tries his best to deliver us what we want. We saw cheetahs, lions, elephants, even leopard. We felt James was trying way more than other drivers, and he rushed to animals as he got the intel. The overall experience of the safari is very impressive.

Experienced guide, many big cats spotted, great overall experience
This was our second experience doing 7 day safari in Kenya with Jocky Tours and our guide Sir Charles. We were a group of five people. Two other guests were with us in the car.
We enjoyed the safari a lot, saw many animals, including big cats, hippos, rhinos, giraffe, elephants and many different birds. Tour was well organized and our guide, Sir Charles exceptional in spotting animals and sharing interesting facts from animal lives.
One thing that we did not like was the accommodation that was organized for us when in Maasai Mara. We were supposed to be in one of two specific tented camps with good ratings, but due to them being full, we were taken to a different camp that was quite poor in quality (lights did not work, not working sockets, noisy generator right next to tent, so-so food options and services/staff...). To be honest, I was quite disappointed taking into consideration our previous experience with Jocky Tours two years ago. Our guide Charles was helpful here as well, when he managed to get us a better tent.
Regardless, everything else was perfect and we would pick Jocky Tours again.

Unforgettable Safari Experience!
An absolutely unforgettable 3-day safari experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris! Everything was perfectly arranged, but what truly made this trip exceptional was our guide and driver, James Gichina.
Thanks to James’ outstanding driving skills, we were able to reach areas where we spotted an incredible variety of animals, sometimes far from the typical routes. His deep knowledge of wildlife and his ability to explain everything with such clarity and enthusiasm made every moment special.
James not only guided us, but brought the safari to life. His passion, patience, and professionalism made this trip an unforgettable experience.
Highly recommended, ask for James Gichina if you can!

An excellent safari tour
The tour was amazing. Well organized and very satisfying. Our tour guide and driver Samuel Chege drived us safely everywhere, took care of every detail of our safari, explained everything about the animals. He did make every detour he could so we could have a better view of every animal we spotted. And we spot so many!

Friendly, knowledgeable and a good driver.
Francis was absolutely excellent. From the moment we met, he was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we had a great conversation on the drive to the lodge. As an experienced safari guide, Francis knew exactly where to go for the best views of elephants and other wildlife, making the experience truly unforgettable.
He was also extremely accommodating, going out of his way to ensure we had the best possible time. No request was too much trouble, and he always responded with warmth and professionalism. Francis answered all of our questions in excellent English, and he shared fascinating insights about the local culture, environment, and Kenya as a whole. His knowledge and passion made our safari experience even more special.
Kibo Camp was also excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them. The rooms were lovely—clean, spacious, and well-maintained—and the food was consistently excellent.
We were also lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro, which made the experience even more special. Overall, it was an outstanding tour from start to finish.
