Excellent, very experienced.
Ben was very professional, he knew the animals well. He was very patient and polite.
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.

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.

Great experience!
I was a solo traveler and did a 3 day safari group tour at the Masai Maara with Jocky tours staying in the Mara Sopa Ledges. It was a great experience overall! Especial thanks to Albert who was my guide during the safari! The tour was mostly on time, they are very flexible and resourceful to solve all needs and unpredictable things which can be hard for a 7 people group setting. Albert was very invested in trying to show us as many cool animals as possible. The Sopa Ledge was super nice, clean and comfortable, offering night activities (bars, dances and live music) and the best part was the food, we even had a BBQ one night which was very good. I recommend the tour 100%.

Well organised with great game drives and amazing guide Papa
Best. Safari. Ever. (Thanks, Jocky Tours & Papa!)
Just back from the Masai Mara with Jocky Tours & Safari - and wow, it was perfect!
✅ Smooth from the start: Great comms, zero hassles. Felt totally looked after.
✅ Jambo Mara Lodge: Comfy, beautiful, and felt real – waking up to wildlife sounds was magic!
✅ Game Drives = Pure Joy: Saw SO much (lions! elephants! cheetahs!) thanks to PAPA, our guide. This man is a legend! Knew everything, found everything, and got us the best views respectfully. Plus, he genuinely cared – checked on us, made it personal.
✅ Our Group Rocked: Fun people = great vibes!
✅ Worth Every Penny: Flawless service, amazing experiences. Felt like true value.
Honestly? 10/10. If you book with Jocky Tours, REQUEST PAPA – he makes the magic happen. Unforgettable! 🐆🌅

Very patient, knowledgeable and helpful
The trip was executed as described as in email. We saw big 4 out of 5. Missed Leopard.
The food was monotonous. There was no variety especially when you are on 5 days trip.
For budget option, some of accomodations looked very unhygienic. In fact, we found mosquito in one of the dish in Naivasha at Naivasha Chambai safari Resort.
Given the food options, its 6/10 when it comes to value for money.

Evans Tiego Agade, our safari guide, is really excellent.
From the very beginning of the safari, it was clear that he has a good understanding of the local wildlife and environment. He could always spot animal traces in time and patiently explain their habits and characteristics to us. Evans is easygoing and enthusiastic. He took good care of everyone's feelings along the way, always ready to answer our questions and share interesting stories.
Under his guidance, this safari experience was both fulfilling and enjoyable, leaving us with many wonderful memories. He is truly an outstanding guide!

Rodger is really kind, energetic and caring!!
This is our first Safari and my friend recommended Jockey to me. It was a very impressive experience to us. Our guide, Rodger, made the experience truly exceptional. His knowledge of the local wildlife, culture, and history was remarkable. Every time we went out to spot animals, Rodger ensured we had the best viewing spots and patiently answered all of our questions. Also, he took care of us very well. We appreciate that we could have him as our guide！
