Papa was fantastic and helped us to have an incredible time!
Papa was a fantastic guide and did everything in his power to ensure that we had an incredible experience. He went above and beyond to deliver as full of an experience as we could ever imagine. We saw all of our dream animals and he was patient and let us watch for as long as we wanted. We greatly appreciated his guidance and help!

Our guide Papa knows the people, places, and everything in between, he made our trip unforgettable!
Jocky Tours is legit. first time travel to africa can be overwhelming and filled with unknowns but Jocky Tours was never a problem. They were frequently available to chat via email and whatsapp, they were accommodating and transparent regarding prices, itinarary, and services (and they flexibly adjusted to and adopted to our plans as they evolved.) And they were an incredible value in not only the services they provide but also the accommodations they arrange and most of all in the skill and knowledge of their guides.
Our guide Papa was incredible. He was a wizard on the road in how he weaved and navigated difficult roads, congested areas, and getting us to see everything we wanted, he not only knew how to solve mechanical issues on the fly but he also was Mr popular within the network of guides and networked on the fly to get us to see the most out of each day. Papa rules and you would be so lucky to have him as your guide!
Jocky tours additionally was able to help us with our lost luggage with a service that was able to track our bags down as they arrived at the airport and then deliver them to us way out at our first safari. Truly exceptional service, if you have doubts, I can assure you, this company is as legit as it is excellent.
When booking ask for Samuel, and he will take care of your plans and make sure you lock in the trip you are looking for!
We went to amboseli, Nakuru, and the Masai Mara and we couldn't be happier with how Jocky Tours treated us.
You won't regret booking with Jocky Tours

Capturing Magic in the Wild: A Safari Adventure to Remember!
We recently had the pleasure of booking a tour with Jocky Tours & Safaris, and my boyfriend and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment we booked, their communication was excellent, ensuring we had all the details we needed. The booking process was seamless, the itinerary was well thought out, and everything was handled with professionalism.
A special shout-out goes to our tour guide, Dennis, whose warmth, kindness, and deep knowledge made the trip truly unforgettable. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable and engaged, answering all our questions with patience and sharing fascinating insights that brought the sights and stories to life.
One of the highlights was when Dennis helped us capture one of the most unforgettable moments of our safari—not just one but two leopards enjoying their meal in the wild. That moment was surreal, and Dennis went above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect view and angle!
We’d especially like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dennis for coordinating and making sure that we receive our delayed luggage as swiftly as possible. It meant a lot to us.
If you’re considering a safari tour in Kenya, don’t hesitate to book with Jocky Tours & Safaris. And if you’re lucky enough to have Dennis leading your group, you’re in for something truly special.
We highly recommend this company for anyone looking for a seamless and enriching African safari experience!

Kikitu had an unwavering enthusiasm and acute knowledge of Maasai Mara for a large tourist group.
Experience was FANTASTIC. Tour guide made the entire experience by being one of the friendliest, knowledgeable, and experienced tour guides I’ve ever had for safari or similar tour experiences. He found the best spots to drive up to observe wildlife in Maasai Mara and was always giving us introductions to new species. His enthusiasm was unmatched and truly made the experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Kikitu made this experience so much greater than imagined, I would trust him with my life.
Excellent safari, I honestly don’t know how it could be done better. Great staff, great guide, great experience in the safari and village, highly convenient and immersive.

They were quick and efficient and made me feel taken care of.
It’s a bit nerve-racking selecting a safari online and without a travel agent, but Jocky Tours made the experience so nice especially for someone on a budget. All of my questions were answered quickly and taken care of, even my extra accommodation request for my group. I would highly recommend booking with Jocky Tours!

Kikitu is a bundle of energy, equipped with both knowledge and commitment to deliver above & beyond
For our first time visiting Africa, our group collectively felt blessed that we had been randomly paired with Kikitu. He made waking up at sunrise actually enjoyable because we were met with his contagious enthusiasm. Kikitu delivered on all fronts, and I appreciated that beyond making sure we had a front row to the top tier animals on the safari he would check in on us to make sure we were comfortable, if we needed water or the washroom. I appreciate the attention to detail!

Magical time in Kenya 🇰🇪
Firstly - I had a fantastic time on safari in Kenya & would recommend to anyone! I’m going to break the parts down below for more information on each section.
1. The Tour Company - ⭐️⭐️
Honestly, the worst part of the whole thing was the actual tour company. I had food poisoning the day we were going, and I waited over an hour and forty minutes for the driver to pick me up from the hotel because they told me to be ready at the wrong time. They stopped replying to my emails or picking up the phone so I had no idea what was happening, which when you’re that unwell isn’t ideal. They also managed to mess up us leaving with the boat tour (aka hadn’t sorted us transportation back to Nairobi that would allow us to complete the trip with the boat trip!!!!), so we had to fight to be able to do both aspects after they told us we would just have to go back to Nairobi (having done only a two hour game drive that day). As I was dropped back in Nairobi the driver asked me to pay for the trip so I then had to sort that out with them as well (hard to sort when they aren’t very communicative). Also you do just hand over the cash to someone who picks you up, no receipt etc, which I found quite stressful. So all in all wasn’t very impressed with them as they made the trip much more stressful than needed!
2. Sir Charles - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Charles was the BEST tour guide and helped us to sort out the issues we had. He has a magical gift for finding the animals and was always talking to everyone else to make sure that we got to see everything! My friend has lived there for a year and not seen half the animals we saw (e.g. male lions everyday and even a leopard!). Make sure you ask for Charles (I’m considering going back later this year and definitely will be asking for Charles again!!!)
3. Accommodation - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I went for Jambo Lodge & Lake Nakuru Lodge. Firstly, the people in both were so so nice, which really helps to make the experience. The food in Jambo was not fab (although I think recovering from food poisoning took away from it slightly ahaha) & the pack lunch was definitely the worst of the three camps. The pool was also out of action which I was v sad about. The room was beautiful though and the bed really comfy, I would definitely stay there again (but take snacks). Lake Nakuru Lodge, the sunset was magical here and the pool was great! The food here was also really good. The room, however, was not as nice - the glass door to outside was broken and it had an older feel. I would umm and ahhh over staying here again, but the sunset might persuade me to!
Boat trip - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely loved the boat trip, I would say that is worth the money! You get to see an island that just has animals on it and hippos, Ken was also really nice!
All in all you should definitely go on safari and ask for Charles - he made the trip for me. A few things the tour company can improve on, but the memories make up for it.
