Great!
We did a 6-day safari with Jocky Tours, with Bryan as our experienced guide. The trip went exactly as planned. On the first day, we enjoyed an evening game drive in the Maasai Mara. Bryan went all out to give us an adventurous experience, and we saw a variety of animals, including a leopard and lions. The following day, we also had a great view of the wildlife in the Maasai Mara, with everything going according to plan and thanks to Bryan’s connections. The next day was mainly a driving day to Naivasha, with an afternoon to relax. The following day, we visited Lake Naivasha, where we saw flamingos, pelicans and other wildlife. After lunch, we had a long drive to Amboseli. Thanks to Bryan’s very smooth driving, we arrived around 6 p.m., giving us some time to relax and recover. The next day, we explored the park and saw Mount Kilimanjaro, elephants, many birds and, of course, other animals as well. On the final day, we tried one more morning game drive, but unfortunately we didn’t see as many animals, and the clouds also made it difficult to enjoy the sunrise. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Bryan, and he always managed to provide clear and interesting information in a very pleasant way. If you’re planning a trip, definitely ask for Bryan!

Fantastic!
We had a 6-day safari with Jocky Tours. What an experience! We saw an incredible number of animals and landscapes. Our driver, Bryan, played a very important role in this. He made sure we were almost always the first to arrive everywhere. He has extensive connections, so he always knows where the animals are. If you want a successful safari, ask for Bryan.

Excellent service! Couldn’t be better!
We stayed 3 days at Mara Serena lodge which had great food and service, everything was neat from the start to the end. Nevertheless, the point of differentiation was Ali, our game drives with him were absolutely a blast, he literally smelled the animals and we could even see leopards twice. If you book with Jocky, please make sure to ask for Ali.

A Unique Experience
It was a truly unique experience, and we were lucky enough to see the Big Five within the first two days of our safari. We were always warmly welcomed and well taken care of at all the accommodations throughout the trip.
Our safari guide, Joseph Kariuki, was always very friendly, helpful, and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable.
However, I think it would be helpful if customers could have access to the daily itinerary before booking the safari. This would allow them to know in advance the planned game drive times, as well as the travelling times and schedules for visits to places such as Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Park.
This would allow them not only to make the most of the safari itself, but also to better plan and optimise the rest of their trip to Kenya.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had the best safari experience ever with Dickson and Philip.
Dickson is incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife, and we learned so many fascinating things from him. Philip also has a great eye for animals and their behaviour, and he is an excellent driver, always going the extra mile to give us the best possible views.
They were a fantastic team and truly made our safari unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Excellent safari experience, very well organised, with a great guide and amazing wildlife.
I had a fantastic experience with Jocky Tours on this four-day safari. It was my first safari, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but the experience exceeded my expectations by far. We were very lucky with the wildlife we saw, including all of the Big Five, two leopards, a cheetah, hyenas, and even lion cubs. It was incredible to see so many different animals in just four days.
I was also lucky to be part of a great group, which made the experience even better.
A special mention to our guide, Joseph Kariuki, who made a real effort throughout the four days to give us the best possible experience. He was very attentive, knowledgeable and always focused on making sure we had a great time and the best opportunities to see the wildlife.
Everything was very well organised from start to finish, and I honestly have very little to complain about. If anything, after finishing the four days, I actually wished I had booked a longer safari! Since this was my first safari, I chose four days as an introduction, but next time I would definitely stay longer.
The only negative point was the card payment fee. I was charged an additional percentage for paying by card, and I don’t think this was made clear enough before the safari. If I had known about the extra charge in advance, I would have withdrawn cash and paid in US dollars instead. Considering the overall amount, the extra percentage was quite significant.
Apart from that, I had a fantastic experience and would happily recommend Jocky Tours. Four amazing days, a great group, an excellent guide, and wildlife that was far beyond what I expected. Definitely an experience I would repeat!

Was good guide, good driver, I felt comfortable with David Mukami the complete tour.
It was a good tour, plenty driving though. We saw all the animals we hoped for and even more. I recommend the safari!
