Jocky Tours was an excellent experience
Amazing 6 day Safari trip in Kenya! Thanks to our amazing tour guides Joseph and Geeman, very experienced and knowledgeable about the wildlife, flexible to accommodate our needs, exceptional drivers 🥳, nothing was a problem for them.
We got to see so much and will always remember the wild holiday in Kenya.
Highly recommend!

Great in unexpected ways
I found Jocky Tours through a suggestion by ChatGPT, and then checked reviews and offers through the Safari Bookings website. I got a response super fast from David, whom I coordinated with for the rest of the planning process. David was super fast with his responses and as accommodating as he could be with requests, giving me all the reassurance I needed before making the booking. I also compared Jocky’s offer against 6 other companies, ranging from mid-budget to luxury options, and Jocky’s 6 day Masai Mara-Nakuru-Amboseli trip came out on top in terms of overall value for money.
Pros for me were that:
- We had the same driver/guide and group of travellers throughout, which most safari companies don’t offer (or at least didn’t offer to me).
- We picked the mid-budget option, within which David allowed me to choose Mara Wild Nest, Hill Court Hotel in Nakuru, and Amboseli Mountain View for accommodations. And out of all our co-travellers, we had the best stay experience.
- Our guide and driver Alex Jenga was super kind and informative. He’s a bit blind or his glasses probably need a higher power so he often doesn’t spot animals easily, but that wasn’t a problem for us as he stopped whenever we saw something and always tried to get as close to animals as possible (without disturbing them or doing anything illegal). Alex was also super empathetic and helpful in general whenever anyone had any issues or concerns, including dropping my partner and I off at a different city on the way back to Nairobi because we had a last minute change in plans, and helping us get local bus tickets as he knows the language and could pay with m-pesa.
- No other agency could beat the price offered by Jocky, even with the same lodgings, itinerary, and vehicle.
Cons:
- The Land Cruiser itself wasn’t super comfortable. The seats are slightly inclined so after 6 days of constantly being in the car, my lower back hurt. The same applied to my partner and all co-travellers. However I expect this to be the same case for other similar agencies as well. Just something to be aware of.

Perfect!!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience! The service was absolutely outstanding, and every moment was simply unforgettable. I was lucky enough to see all of the Big Five and witness some truly breathtaking moments along the way.
I’ll definitely be coming back in a few years, and there’s no doubt I’ll be booking with the same company again!Thank you so much for making this experience so special. It was truly a trip of a lifetime! ❤️
