Geeman knows the park inside out, is patient, punctual, and made our safari truly unforgettable!
We had a wonderful time with Jocky Travels, and our guide Geeman was absolutely fantastic! He knows the park inside and out and always seemed to know exactly where to go and what to look for. He was very patient especially when we wanted to wait for the perfect moment to get the best pictures.
Geeman was always on time, friendly, professional, and truly dedicated to making sure we had a fantastic experience. We really appreciated his knowledge, patience, and passion for the safari.
We highly recommend Geeman and Jocky Travels for an unforgettable safari experience!

Made the trip memorable!
Our guide Geeman was very knowledgeable, friendly and on time throughout the trip. Made sure we had good views during the game drives whenever there is an opportunity and always looking for best spots to go for.

Nice trip, nice guide, nice partner.
The seven-day, six-night trip was just right; I felt like I saw everything I wanted to see. The scenery was beautiful, and it was a truly magical experience. Thank you to the guide Papa Johns and my travel companions.

Wild World, Warm Friends, and Wide Memories to Keep
At first, I didn't feel so good about it. The place I had originally booked was overbooked, and they told me I had to stay at a different lodge. On top of that, even though they offered to upgrade me to a better resort by splitting the three-night stay into a one-night and a two-night stay, I really didn't want the hassle of moving around for such a short trip. However, thanks to Jocky working tenaciously for a full hour to sort it all out, I was finally able to stay at the exact lodge I originally booked, in a twin room at Mara Sopa Lodge. I really want to thank Jocky for their hard work.
That said, the drive to the Masai Mara was quite rugged and tough, taking a grueling five to six hours by car. But even before we reached the Sopa Lodge, our driver and guide, Caxstone, asked us to do a game drive on the way, and that was the moment everything changed. The Masai Mara National Reserve was a whole new world, and the sunset glowing over elephants, giraffes, buffaloes—and what else was there?—lions and cheetahs was breathtakingly magical.
The next day and the day after that, Caxstone, despite looking exhausted with a tired face, was endlessly dedicated to finding animals we hadn't seen yet. He always smiled, and whenever we spotted new animals, his joy was as genuine as ours, making him even more eager to track down others. He even gave us the gift of an unforgettable breakfast—I wasn't sure if I was even allowed to talk about this, or if it was entirely legal, but having breakfast set up right out in the middle of the vast, untouched Masai Mara, under the cool shade of a tree with the warm sunlight spilling around us, and sipping morning coffee in that absolute serenity was a feeling I will never, ever forget.
The Masai Mara was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. I am currently on a trip around the world, and so far I've been to Europe, Egypt, Seychelles, and Kenya. Of course, even better places might lie ahead, but as of now, the Masai Mara has been the absolute best. I will never forget it, and if possible, I will come back. I'll contact you then.

Wonderful Experience
I rarely write reviews, but the service we received from jocky tours and travel was so far beyond exceptional that I have to share. For us we did a 3-day tour at Amboseli national park, and it was flawlessly executed from the moment we started planning.
Jocky the organization handled everything with incredible precision and attention to detail. Their pricing is very fair, and the value you get is truly premium. Jocky is also incredibly well-connected; the luxury camp they lined up for us was outstanding, and the staff at the property treated us with a level of hospitality that exceeded all expectations. Every logistical detail was handled with zero mistakes.
Then there was our guide, Francis , who was a total professional and an absolute joy to be around. Vincent was waiting for us right at the airport to transfer us to Francis our tour guide setting the tone for the entire trip. Francis knowledge of the wild is mind-blowing—he didn't just spot animals, he explained their behaviors and life cycles in a way that made the experience so much richer. Thanks to him, we checked off three of the Big Five and enjoyed jaw-dropping, close-up encounters with lions, elephants and a cheetah at a far distance.
If you want a flawless, medium or high end and deeply personal safari experience, Jocky tours is the gold standard. Thank you, Jocky and francis for making our trip unforgettable!

Majestic
Julius was amazing throughout our entire safari. He was always patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and had an exceptional talent for finding the best wildlife viewing spots. He was kind, thoughtful, and always made sure we were comfortable.
On top of that, he was genuinely funny and so warm and friendly that it felt like we had known him for years. He made our safari even more special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!

AMAZING
The tour is really well-organized; I have no negative feedback at all. A special shout-out goes to our legendary driver Julius—he's the absolute best! Knowledgeable, super fun, and during the safari, he ensures you get the best possible experience away from the jeep traffic jams. Excellent value for money

Absolutely fantastic!!!!!
We booked a 3 day safari to Amboseli national park, We were really struggling to decide who to book through as the amount of safari companies out there were overwhelming. We didn't know anyone that had been on a safari to Amboseli previously to recommend us, and so we did our research and looked through the reviews of a lot of different companies, and to us jocky tours and travel stuck out. And we're so glad we went with them!
They helped us organise it from the beginning and answered any questions that we had. They helped put a personalised package together with our wishes and needs. Vincent met us at the airport at the start of the tour for transfer.
Our tour guide was Francis and he was amazing! We booked a private tour, so it was just the two of us for the 3 days and Francis became a friend, we laughed and joked and had such a great time!
Francis was able to recommend us things to do as extra activities and we really enjoyed..
We were able to see 3 of the Big 5! We had some extremely close encounters with Elephants and two big male Lions!
It was a truly magical experience and having Francis as our tour guide completed it for us!
He was extremely knowledgeable. We learnt so much from him and he was able to spot animals, even from so far away! For example, he spotted a cheetah in the distance! Many animals we wouldn't have spotted if it wasn't for Francis !
The safari was clean and was very comfortable and we have no complaints whatsoever!
We will be back, and we'll be using jocky again, especially asking for Francis !!!! Thank you so much jocky and Francis ..

Perfect safari with Isaac!
We had an amazing safari and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guide, Issac, was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and always went the extra mile to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible. Thanks to his determination, we saw an incredible variety of animals, including the unforgettable sighting of a black rhino.
The accommodation throughout the trip was excellent. Every lodge was clean, comfortable, and in beautiful locations, making it the perfect place to relax after each day’s game drive. The staff were welcoming, the food was great, and everything was very well organised.
A huge thank you to Issac for making this such a memorable trip. We would highly recommend both him and this safari company to anyone visiting Kenya.
