Unforgettable Safari Experience – Made Exceptional by Our Guide
From the moment our group of 7 was picked up in Nairobi, our safari experience was nothing short of magical. But what truly elevated the trip to a once-in-a-lifetime adventure was our guide, Richie, whose knowledge, passion, and attentiveness were unparalleled.
We embarked on a 3-day safari in the Masai Mara and each day brought something new and breathtaking — lion prides lounging in the morning sun, leopards resting in trees, Cheetahs, Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, just to name a few . Thanks to our guide’s deep understanding of animal behavior and incredible tracking skills, we never missed a moment.
What set Richie apart was not just the ability to spot animals, but the way he went to great lengths for us to be able to get the best view and experience. He also shared facts about ecosystems, conservation challenges, and even tribal folklore — all with humility and warmth. He was equally skilled at reading our group, knowing when to pause for photos, when to sit in silence, and when to laugh and tell stories.
He ensured our safety without ever compromising our sense of adventure. Whether it was getting us up close to a herd of elephants without disturbing them or positioning the vehicle perfectly for sunrise over the savannah, his attention to detail and respect for nature were constant.
This safari was not just about wildlife — it was about connection: to nature, to culture, and to the people who make these wild places come alive. And that connection was made possible by the remarkable guide who led us through it all.

I had a wonderful safari with our guide Kikitu who showed all the big fives and many more.
The safari was in 3 steps: Masai Mara, Narakuru, Ambolesi. Each reserve has its specialties. However for people have only few days, Masai Mara is definitely the best.

The best tour operators in Kenya
We had an anmazing experience with Jocky on the 7 day trip. Francis was our tour guide and he exceeded our expectations in making our game drives a success. We spotted all the big 5 on a single day. He took us close to all animals and kept our requests for photography as well. Highly recommend this tour operator for a budget tour and Francis for being the best tour operator who has made this trip so memorable for us.

excellent
We had a fantastic tour with a wonderful driver-guide Jimna, who was punctual, witty, interesting storyteller, on the route: Masai Mara-Nakuru-Naivasha. The organization of the safari for our family was great! Thanks to Jimna we met all the big five and it was amazing! Accommodation and food throughout the safari was perfect, we loved everything. I can confidently recommend Jocky tours and our guide Jimna to anyone going on safari in Kenya. Thank you!

Amazing Wildlife, Average Value & Planning
My recent Masai Mara tour with Jocky Tours included some truly unforgettable moments. We were fortunate to see all of the Big Five, plus a cheetah, a rare sighting. At one point, lions even slept under our vehicle, which was surreal and easily the highlight of the trip.
However, the overall organization left much to be desired. Day 1 felt rushed and not the best planned, we stopped for lunch during a very short drive and barely entered the park. It felt more like a 1-day safari stretched out rather than a full 3-day experience.
I was also surprised to learn that I paid almost $300 more for the exact same experience compared to others in my group. That price difference felt unfair.
While the guide (Elias) was kind and helpful, he was less engaging, often moving quickly from one sighting another. It made the experience feel a bit rushed.
One thing I genuinely wondered, if it is well known that the wildebeest migration often happens early in the morning or late at night, why are the game drives scheduled during mid-day hours when migration is unlikely to be seen?
Overall, I am thankful for the incredible wildlife we encountered on Day 2, but I expected better value, clearer communication and better planning given the price I paid.

Happy to see all the big 5!
I did a 3 day tour and overall we got to see the big 5 which was great. I didn’t give all 5 starts because it felt like it was really only 1 day and the other 2 days were just transportation (I feel like there could have been something more added at the end or beginning or those days too). Our guide was very kind but did say much and it felt a bit rushed. Overall still a good experience!

Amazing, comprehensive and well organized trip. Very reliable company.
We completed a 7-day safari trip. During registration, the contact with the company was available and courteous. The trip plan was professional and comprehensive.
In addition, the success of the trip is tied to Francis, who did everything in his power to ensure that we didn't miss a thing. And thanks to him, we had an amazing and unforgettable experience.
