No nonsense, but fun to be around.
Julius is fast and affection, and had no qualms about getting his car into the from, giving us the best view. He also seemed to know exactly where every animal was before anyone else, giving us multiple close up views that no one else saw. Jovial and organized, knew exactly what to do and where to go, and made it easy to ask questions about the day plan. All that for a crazy reasonable price, would recommend again.

Safari teamwork and intimate encounters
Julius at Jockey Tours was amazing. He is an incredibly experienced guide - he knew the optimal timing to avoid the rush and knew the best places to seek relaxed, intimate animal encounters away from the crowds of other safari vehicles. When you take the road less taken, you see marvels they others don’t - we saw a baby zebra, still wobbly after being born within the past 15 minutes! We definitely appreciated how the Jockey safari guides worked as a team covering different areas of the park, and would communicate with each other where to find hard to find sightings, like cheetah. Julius was charming, full of stories and interesting behavioral insights to share about myriad of wildlife along the way. The 4-day safari of Maasai Mara never had a dull moment. It was a great value. Yes, the accommodations at Lenchada camp were budget but the beds were pristine, and where else will you have a story about a baboon in your tent? The safari animal encounters were out of this world. Book Jockey tours, ask for Julius. You won’t regret it!

Memorable trip
We took the mid range option with Jocky tours. Itinerary was followed throughout the tour. Papa Johns was our guide and he is very knowledgeable, understandable, and friendly. His favourite line is "All is well and all has been good so far".
The stay options were very good and they sticked to the hotels mentioned in the itinerary. Vegetarian food was amazing at all of our stays.

It was a great experience.
Me and husband booked a 5 days Kenya tour with Jocky Tours. It was amazing. Our guide was Papa Johns who made sure that we were comfortable and enjoyed everything. The breakfast in all our stays was very tasty with a lot of veg options.

Once in a lifetime trip
My partner and I booked onto the 5 day Maasai Mara/Lake Nakuru & Naivasha safari. The trip exceeded all our expectations, and we were able to see a huge variety of animals across the beautiful parks.
Our tour guide, Samuel, was perfect. He made us feel safe at all times, and his knowledge of the animals and fun facts throughout the safari was invaluable. He made the trip even more special. Thank you!
Our only criticism would be that the communication from the office in the run-up to the tour was poor. We had little information about the timings or itinerary. That being said, once the trip started everything went smoothly. We had an absolute blast and would definitely tour with them again if we were in the area.
Amazing experience
This was my second safari in Kenya, so I have something to compare it to.
We had a comfortable jeep, and the long drives were very comfortable.
Our Russian-speaking guide, Richard, made this tour unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastically told us about the animals. It's clear that Richard loves his job and does it conscientiously.
Thank you so much!

Kind, passionate guide
Overall, it was an amazing experience. I really recommend the walking safari in the Crescent island. The private tour we selected was the best way to enjoy the safari.
