SPECTACULAR - the safari was splendid, all thanks to FARU (nickname of our guide, Francis)
They were super helpful and punctual.
First day was mostly travel, but FRANCIS managed to make the most of every second left and we saw lions, a cheetah, gazelles and much more. Fancis shared with us details about the animals, the herds, distinctive characteristics of the species. He is a living encyclopedia.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - ESPECIALLY WITH FRANCIS AS A GUIDE

Excellent
Everything was absolutely amazing. Francis coordinated everything like a chief, as he knows exactly where to go to find the best sights. He went definitely further than his job to make us happy, and for that, I am truly grateful. Thank you so much Francis!
Communication, reliability, value for money, and the tour itself were all absolutely perfect.
Only minus I had to mention (and I am sorry it acts as a "stain" to this review) is the very rude lady we had to deal with at the Jocky Tours office before starting the tour.
She 1) clearly pretended she never received any deposit while she definitely did, so that if you don't have proof in hand that you paid it, well you'll have to pay a second time, 2) pretends she does not know that we had agreed on a deal for the price, so that again, if you don't have any written proof you are screwed, 3) as she was pissed that we had a lower price than she seemingly would have liked, tried to round up the forex rate to make us pay more. When we would show her the real forex rate on google, her only answer was "my forex is the forex"..... I was not aware that Jocky Tours knew the forex rates better than Bloomberg ;) Instead of a customer-facing position, a cow-milking activity would probably be a more suitable profession for this lady!
Apart from this wrong start, an absolutely wonderful experience for sure!
Reply from Jocky Tours and Safaris
Posted on May 16, 2026Thank you so much for taking your your time to share your experience with us. We are truly grateful that you chose Jocky Tours for your trip, and we are very happy to hear that you had an amazing experience overall.
We also sincerely appreciate your comments regarding communication,reliability,value of money and the tour itself. Your feedback means a lot to us.
Regarding the concerned raised at the office before the tour, we would like to clarify that the reason we requested proof of payment was because the deposit was unfortunately not reflecting on our side. We completely understand how frustrating that situation may have felt, but the request was only meant to help us verify the transaction correctly
In regard to the currency conversion, the exchange rate we were using was based on the current local market rate available to us at the moment, which may have differed slightly from the online rate you were checking.
Lastly, we sincerely apologize if our communication came across as rude or unpleasant in any way. That was never our intention. We always aim to assist our guest professionally and respectfully, and I am sorry if the interaction did not feel that way to you.
Thank you once again for your honest feedback

That was the best experience
Our guide and driver was Richard.
He spoke fluent Russian, even though he has never been to Russia. He could answer every question we had.
He knew all kinds of birds and animals and was able to spot them from a very long distance.
Richard was very patient with all our quirks and problems. He would patiently stop the car as many times as we wanted — for the toilet, coffee, souvenirs, an ATM, or a pharmacy. He even managed to find toilets for us inside the national parks.
He helped me organize a walking tour in Amboseli.
When I forgot my phone in the car, he drove back at night to return it to me.
He is an excellent driver — fast, but always safe.
Richard is the best guide, and I highly recommend him!

Amazing Safari Experience in Kenya
We had an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya! The drivers were extremely professional, friendly, and always happy to answer any questions about the animals, nature, and local culture. Their communication and knowledge made the trip even more enjoyable.
The vehicles were always clean, comfortable, and in excellent technical condition. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five and many other amazing animals during the safari. Highly recommend this organizer for a smooth and well-organized adventure!

Great 7‑Day Kenya Safari with Jockey Tours & Guide Evans
I’ve just finished a wonderful 7‑day Kenya safari with Jockey Tours, guided by Evans. The whole trip was well‑arranged and smooth. Evans is professional, knowledgeable about wildlife and local culture, and very observant, helping us spot many amazing animals. He was friendly and attentive throughout the journey. Highly recommend this tour! One small suggestion: it would be even better if the guide could make fewer phone calls during sightseeing.

Amazing experience
The safari started by the booking which was clear and simple, I used the offer I received to ask for my visa.
The general organization was perfect every section of the itinerary was handled by our guide (Francis ) no need to worry for anything. He knew very well the place and took us to see all the animals the big 5 and others , he was respectful and organized.
In terms of hotels I got the mid range and I definitely recommend their was amazing food, room and service (sopa loge massai Mara and Naivasha , Nakuro loge hotel )
Price/ quality in my case was really worth it, only to take into consideration may is the rainy season so in the afternoon you have frequent rain.

Francis was awesome tour guide. I think i wouldn’t be able to choose better one. We saw everything!
Everything was well organised and what is most important, without hidden costs. We visited 4 national parks in seven days, saw big 5 and lot more than that, and enjoyed every second. I highly recommend everyone to have this trip at least once in a lifetime. Can’t wait to come one day with kids!

An unforgettable 3-day Masai Mara safari with outstanding service and an exceptional guide
We were looking to book a three-day safari in the Masai Mara and, after some research, came across Jocky Tour. From the start, communication was quick, clear, and very smooth. They helped us organize the entire trip, including transport from Nairobi, a guide, and a very comfortable two-night stay.
On the first day, we were able to go on a game drive shortly after arriving in the Masai Mara. The second day was a full-day safari, which was an incredible experience. On the third day, we visited a Maasai village before heading back to Nairobi.
Our guide, Kennedy, was extremely kind, highly knowledgeable about the animals, and shared a lot of interesting information about the wildlife in the Masai Mara. He went above and beyond to help us spot the Big Five and always made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of.
Overall, everything was perfect. Thank you to Jocky Tour and to Kennedy for such an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend them!

Professional and reliable company
Being a Travel Agent myself and used to send clients to Kenya using Portuguese Tour Operators, this time I've tried something different for my husband and I. After some research I found that Jocky Tours had the best communication and information. After asking for a shared safari and middle range accommodations they provided the information needed, quotes and they even helped buying train tickets (it's required a Kenyan number). Everything went smoothly and accordingly. Dickson, our driver guide was very professional nice and easy to deal with. Thank you Jocky Tours hope to make business with you soon!

Honest and fair company. Our trip was according to what we expected to have.
ommunication was easy from the very first moment. They delivered what we paid for. There are many levels of safaris to choose from; we opted for the mid-level option and got exactly what we wanted.
Our guide and driver, Dickson, was the heart of the trip. He made sure everything ran smoothly and tried to accommodate all of our requests. Dickson provided information about everything on the safari but knew how to balance it without being boring or overly detailed. He also knew how to position the vehicle to capture the best light and angle for the perfect photo. Just ask and Dickson will do his best.
