The best part of our trip was our driver David
Due to being scammed by another safari operator, I had to choose Jocky Tours just one day before our departure. Looking back, I can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions we made.
From the beginning, Jocky Tours was responsible and professional, and everything went smoothly.
But the biggest highlight was definitely our driver, David. He is an absolutely wonderful person — patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and very responsible. He explained everything to us clearly and was always happy to answer all our questions. Most importantly, we always felt safe with him, both on the road and during the safari.
David really made the experience much more enjoyable. We came to Kenya mainly for the safari, but meeting such a great person was an unexpected and very special part of our trip.
Thank you Jocky Tours, and especially thank you David, for giving us such a memorable experience. We would definitely recommend Jocky Tours to other travelers!

Don’t miss it!
We just finished a fantastic trip with Jocky Tours and Safaris and give them a well-deserved five stars. The company is highly reliable and provides a top-tier experience from start to finish. We were especially fortunate to have Isac as our guide. He is exceptionally professional, and his expertise really shines through in how he navigates the parks and tracks the animals. On top of his skills, Isac is just a genuinely kind and welcoming person. He worked tirelessly to ensure our trip was flawless and that we did not miss a thing. Thank you to Jocky Tours and a massive thank you to Isac for the trip of a lifetime!

Had a wonderful Safari time
Our time with Jocky Tours and Safaris was absolutely unforgettable, and I cannot recommend this company highly enough. From the initial logistics to the daily game drives, everything was executed perfectly. The absolute standout part of our adventure, however, was our guide, Isac. He is a true expert in these tours, and his deep knowledge of the wildlife and the terrain is unmatched. Beyond his clear professionalism, Isac is an incredibly nice person who went above and beyond every single day to make sure we had the absolute best experience possible. If you book with Jocky Tours, you are in great hands—especially if you are lucky enough to have Isac leading your safari.

Exceptional safari, great guide
My husband and I did 2 nights in Samburu, 1 night in Nakuru, and 3 nights in Masai Mara, and it was a memorable experience.
Our guide was John, and he played an important role in making the trip exceptional. John is knowledgeable, knows the parks and wildlife well, is a great spotter, and an excellent driver.
At Samburu, we saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, and most of Samburu’s Special Five. Only because of his judgment did we have a great sighting of a cheetah at Samburu. At Nakuru, we saw a pride of lions feeding, black and white rhinos, and many birds. At Masai Mara, we saw countless lions (more than 20 every day), cheetahs, leopards feeding, lions feeding, and lions with small cubs. And to top it all, we even saw a river crossing at Sand River, again because of John’s judgment. He never rushed us at any sighting and never got tired of showing us animals, even when it was a long day of driving for him.
He was very pleasant and informative, and he was friends with most of the other guides, which helped with sightings. Above all, he was very kind to everyone around him, both animals and humans.
We stayed at Sopa lodges at Samburu and Nakuru, both were excellent, at Masai Mara we stayed at Jambo mara, rooms were good but food was not.
Moses from Jockey helped us in planning, email replies were quick. Only thing to note is that Jocky charges extra for card payments, clarify this. They gave us best deal.

A wonderful safari expérience with Simon
We spent five wonderful days with Simon during our trip to Kenya, and it was an absolute pleasure! His cheerful personality, great sense of humour and infectious laugh made every day even more enjoyable.
Simon was always attentive to our wishes and expectations and did everything he could to make our experience special. He has an excellent knowledge of the parks we visited and is incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife and animal behaviour. We learned so much from him throughout our safari.
Simon is professional, reliable and passionate about what he does, while always keeping things relaxed and fun. With him, everything is taken seriously — but never too seriously! ;-)
We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a memorable safari experience in Kenya!

Stunning trip in Africa
Trip with guide David was amazing overall.
Thanks to David's 18 year experiences, we watched all the Big 5 in 2hours after arrived in Masai mara.
His guide was super detail and interesting.
Also he made our tour group very close, so we can have best time during car, and hotel.
It was honor to join this tour, I would recommend it to everyone.

A very excellent and kind person
The price was very reasonable, and the accommodation was better than I expected. I applied for a 6-day tour, and it was a very good and happy experience. In particular, the driver David was an incredibly skilled safari guide, with excellent driving skills, eloquence, and a very good driver who found good spots and provided convenience. Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy the safari.

Papa John went above and beyond to provide us with a great safari experience!
Jocky Tours was consistently promoted with their email communication, answering all of my questions before I even arrived in Kenya. They handled all the logistics for the safari in advance, which made for an stress-free experience.
Papa John was our driver and guide throughout the 7 day safari, and he was excellent. He was always on time, conscientious about our safety, and respectful of the wildlife we encountered. He worked hard to make sure we got to see the Big Five, which made the trip truly memorable.
At one point, I had a mix-up with my accommodation, and Papa John immediately jumped in and resolved it. That kind of responsiveness made a real difference to our overall experience.
