Jocky tour is very friendly
We were with David Mukami, a great guide who gave his best for us. It was truly a great experience.
We were able to chat with many people and get some great photos.

Jocky tour is very friendly
We were with David Mukami, a fantastic and attentive guide who always went the extra mile to ensure we had the best experience. For a first safari, the value for money seemed very good. The budget lodges allowed us to chat with lots of other people. Thank you for this experience, and thank you, David!

Jokey operator was professional and Kikitu is fantastic, funny and most passionate guide we ever had
Everything from operator was on time and professional and 7 days Safari tour was perfectly organized and communication was great! But our guide Kikitu was simply amazing! He was not only very kind, hospital and caring but also super professional guide who showed the best scenes possible (see pictures): cheetah eating the pray, leopard hiding on the tree after successful hunting, elephants taking the bath in the swamp (1meter from us), lioness with 4 cubs and more! We love action scenes (hunting etc) and Kikitu was the perfect guide for this as he was in constant connection with other guides and reacted very quickly to all news. Also maybe because every person we have met loves him! So many random people know his name across the entire Kenia! For active vacation with maximum of opportunities to see the wild life in action I wouldn’t choose different guide! In fact I’m planning another trip to Kenia next year and will only do it with Kikitu!
Strongly recommend him to anyone who loves to spend time with open, funny, caring people, who is also an excellent guide! Thank you Kikitu and Jockey tours, we had the best time in Kenia!

Reliable and trustworthy safari operator
We had a great time on the safari. Everything went smoothly from the moment we were picked up from our hotel.
Food was basic but tasty and filling (just what we needed after long days).
Value for money was excellent but I would recommend upgrading from the budget camping to one of the newer camps.
Dickson turned on up time to collect us and did a great job safely taking us around the park. We had nothing to worry about for the whole time.
We were really amazed by how many animals we got to see. It was a really unforgettable experience.

Wonderful people and super well organised
We did a three-day, two-night safari with Jocky Tours and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Everything from start to finish was smooth and well organised, including the pickup in Nairobi and the full safari itinerary.
Our guide and driver, Dixon, was outstanding. He drove us safely from Nairobi and stayed with us throughout all safari days. Dixon is a fantastic driver, incredibly knowledgeable, and explained everything about the animals and the parks in a clear and engaging way. We saw an amazing variety of wildlife and learned so much along the way. He was attentive, kind, and professional at all times, always there when needed but never intrusive. A genuinely lovely person to spend several days with.
The food throughout the safari was also very good and well taken care of.
The only thing we would personally do differently next time is choosing a slightly higher-end accommodation instead of the budget camp. That said, this is purely a personal preference and absolutely not a reflection of Dixon or the organisation of the safari.
Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we would wholeheartedly recommend Jocky Tours, especially if you are lucky enough to have Dixon as your guide.

Very interesting
The Masai Mara safari was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The wildlife sightings were incredible, the scenery was breathtaking, and everything was well organized. I was extremely satisfied and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly amazing safari adventure.

Very reactive and helpful
The safari was magnificent! We saw the Big Five except for the leopard. These were moments of pure happiness for us.
Our guide, Ken, was very kind and attentive and did his best to help us spot all the animals. It’s clear that he has a great deal of experience.
We managed to take beautiful photos. The lodges were acceptable for the budget price, except for the lodges in the Maasai Mara, which were not very comfortable and offered very modest meals. I recommend asking to change them and paying extra, as we did.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I truly recommend doing the safari with Jockey Tours — very responsive with good communication.

Amazing Game drive in Masai Mara
The Safari was a great experience. The organization by Jocky Tours and the execution of the safari were excellent, we had a fantastic time! A very special thank you to our driver, Dickson. He drove us safely to the Masai Mara and back to Nairobi, explained us a lot during the safari and gave us plenty of time to take photos and videos.
I stayed at the Sopa Lodge and was very, very satisfied, a very nice lodge, with big rooms and a nice pool.
I highly recommend Jocky Tours!

He is very kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, easy going, skilful, funny and really comf to be around
We are two sisters who were going on a Safaritour with Solomon. He was very communicative and told us everything there was to know about the animals and fauna. He also gave us all the time we needed; he stopped whenever there was something to see so we could take our photos. We never felt pressured or rushed. He just let us do our thing. He is therefore very easy to be around. He always checked with us if we were alright or if we needed anything. The level of thoughtfulness is really appreciated. We want to thank him for making this tour so memorable and for all the (funny) conversations we had.
Now the overall review:
The communication about the itinerary was really good. We received the planning per mail and Solomon walked us through it everyday, so we knew exactly what we could expect for those days.
Every penny spent was well worth it. The accommodations were okay and well organised. Everything was taken care of and that was really appreciated.
The tour really exceeded all our expectations and we are really greatful for that. Thank you!

An Unforgettable Safari with Papa Jones
Our safari with guide Papa Jones was exceptionally well-organized and fascinating, as we successfully spotted all of the Big Five, along with numerous giraffes, zebras, hippos, and crocodiles. A particular highlight was the rare sighting of a leopard, which was not only active but also perfectly positioned, as Papa Jones expertly navigated to provide us with excellent photographic angles. His clear and informative explanations throughout the tour added immense value, leaving us thoroughly delighted and satisfied with the entire experience.
