the safari was very good, our guide Papa Johns was friendly and professional, we went to Masai Mara and lake Nakuru, and we enjoyed both, accomodation and food were good at both locations, nothing to complain

excellent.
the decision to go on safari was one of the best made. the driver Dickson was excellent and tried to get as close as possible to the animals in order to get better pictures and see the animals better. despite the bad road, the ride was pleasant and fun. The guide tried to explain to us how the animals live and gave detailed information about each one. for the money we paid, it was worth it because the experience is truly indescribable

Jocky tour is very friendly
We were with David Mukami, a fantastic and attentive guide who always went the extra mile to ensure we had the best experience. For a first safari, the value for money seemed very good. The budget lodges allowed us to chat with lots of other people. Thank you for this experience, and thank you, David!

Jokey operator was professional and Kikitu is fantastic, funny and most passionate guide we ever had
Everything from operator was on time and professional and 7 days Safari tour was perfectly organized and communication was great! But our guide Kikitu was simply amazing! He was not only very kind, hospital and caring but also super professional guide who showed the best scenes possible (see pictures): cheetah eating the pray, leopard hiding on the tree after successful hunting, elephants taking the bath in the swamp (1meter from us), lioness with 4 cubs and more! We love action scenes (hunting etc) and Kikitu was the perfect guide for this as he was in constant connection with other guides and reacted very quickly to all news. Also maybe because every person we have met loves him! So many random people know his name across the entire Kenia! For active vacation with maximum of opportunities to see the wild life in action I wouldn’t choose different guide! In fact I’m planning another trip to Kenia next year and will only do it with Kikitu!
Strongly recommend him to anyone who loves to spend time with open, funny, caring people, who is also an excellent guide! Thank you Kikitu and Jockey tours, we had the best time in Kenia!

Reliable and trustworthy safari operator
We had a great time on the safari. Everything went smoothly from the moment we were picked up from our hotel.
Food was basic but tasty and filling (just what we needed after long days).
Value for money was excellent but I would recommend upgrading from the budget camping to one of the newer camps.
Dickson turned on up time to collect us and did a great job safely taking us around the park. We had nothing to worry about for the whole time.
We were really amazed by how many animals we got to see. It was a really unforgettable experience.

Wonderful people and super well organised
We did a three-day, two-night safari with Jocky Tours and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Everything from start to finish was smooth and well organised, including the pickup in Nairobi and the full safari itinerary.
Our guide and driver, Dixon, was outstanding. He drove us safely from Nairobi and stayed with us throughout all safari days. Dixon is a fantastic driver, incredibly knowledgeable, and explained everything about the animals and the parks in a clear and engaging way. We saw an amazing variety of wildlife and learned so much along the way. He was attentive, kind, and professional at all times, always there when needed but never intrusive. A genuinely lovely person to spend several days with.
The food throughout the safari was also very good and well taken care of.
The only thing we would personally do differently next time is choosing a slightly higher-end accommodation instead of the budget camp. That said, this is purely a personal preference and absolutely not a reflection of Dixon or the organisation of the safari.
Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we would wholeheartedly recommend Jocky Tours, especially if you are lucky enough to have Dixon as your guide.

Very interesting
The Masai Mara safari was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The wildlife sightings were incredible, the scenery was breathtaking, and everything was well organized. I was extremely satisfied and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly amazing safari adventure.

Very reactive and helpful
The safari was magnificent! We saw the Big Five except for the leopard. These were moments of pure happiness for us.
Our guide, Ken, was very kind and attentive and did his best to help us spot all the animals. It’s clear that he has a great deal of experience.
We managed to take beautiful photos. The lodges were acceptable for the budget price, except for the lodges in the Maasai Mara, which were not very comfortable and offered very modest meals. I recommend asking to change them and paying extra, as we did.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I truly recommend doing the safari with Jockey Tours — very responsive with good communication.
