Once in a lifetime
Great first safari trip with John Papa. A kind, funny and knowledgeable driver and guide.

Excellent and friendly
I did the 4-Day Masai Mara Lake Nakuru tour with Papa as a guide.
Everything was surreal from accommodation to safaris.
Papa has provided me the best games drive.
Hassle free, one stop shop that seems to be a favourite with guests and guides
I chose Jocky Tours because they were very prompt with their responses, offered a competitive price, and had thousands of great reviews.
All the drivers from pickup to drop off were friendly, reliable, on time and very helpful. James our main driver/guude definitely used his network and driving skills to find us the best animals for viewing and taking pictures. Thank you!
The only thing that was a bit less great is that because Jocky is a big company with lots of guests, I think I somehow expected that there would be enough people to put similar tours and travel styles (budget, luxury etc) together so the rest of the people in the group joining tour would also be staying in similar accommodation and doing the same amount of days.. this wasn’t the case. While the group was cool and we got along, people were on 3/5/7 day tours and all booked from different agencies — so there was a bit of confusion as there were differing expectations, and also a bit of movement in group members as people finished their tour and moved on while others stayed and new ones joined. Then there was the time spent dropping off / picking up from different hotels. I am not sure if maybe this is because it is not yet high season in July and so we have to combine tours but my feeling is that it would be way more efficient if we were all on the same tour / accommodation level.
Still all in all a great experience - we saw the Big Five, took lots of pictures and had a great time - and we didn’t have to worry about accomodation, transport, entrance fees, food in all my 5 days there so for that I thank Jocky and guide James. Asante sana.
I have spoken to a few guides and they all say Jocky is one of the best and most experienced tour operators so I guess you can’t go wrong picking them.

A bucket-list experience
Jock tours made our safari trip a once in a lifetime experience. Peter kapino was an amazing guide, full of knowledge for any questions about the animals. He made the extra mile to make the trip special for everyone on board and provided flexibility for whatever the group wanted. The vehicle and scenery made the trip unforgettable and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you jocky tours

Fantastic experience with Jockey Tours where we saw the big 5!
We had a fantastic time visiting Kenya and its national parks
Dennis was an attentive driver who knew exactly where to take us to get the best views of the animals!
We were even lucky enough to see a Leopard in action because of him!

Amazing Kenya 7 day experience to see wildlife
The tour was a fantastic experience to see the beauty of Kenya and it's nature. We got to see all the Big 5 including the leopard which was a rare sighting. I would definitely say the tour was value for money and I would thoroughly recommend Dennis who was a tour guide and driver who was patient with us, very caring making sure we were well looked after and ensured that we had a really nice experience. The accomodations were as described and we enjoyed all the days of the tour

Go with Best Guide Dennis
Dennis was an amazing guide! He helped us spot leopards eating in a tree. He always found the perfect angles for viewing and made the whole experience unforgettable.
