Unforgettable 5-Day Safari Adventure in Kenya
Our 5-day safari in Kenya was nothing short of amazing. Our guide, Papa John, was exceptional — knowledgeable, friendly, and an outstanding driver.
We were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five in their natural habitat, thanks in no small part to Papa John’s expertise.
Each day was filled with breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, and unforgettable moments.
This trip was an extraordinary experience we will treasure forever.

Papa John was the best guide
I am Pablo from Spain, i stayed with him in a 5 day safari tour, in august.
Most important thing in this experiences is the guide, because the food and accomodation is very similar between other operators. But the best guide makes the difference. He was very knoledgeable about everything, and the fastest arriving to any hotspot where best animals weere.

Incredible Experience
Unique and unbeatable experience. We spent a few incredible days seeing wild animals in their natural habitat and admiring the beauty of the landscapes of Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli, etc.. The safari was organized to perfection and thanks to our guide Denis the experience was unbeatable.
Thanks to his great experience, knowledge and quality we were able to get the most out of each game drive and see the big 5 easily. We would repeat and recommend Jocky Tours without a doubt.

Leroy best guide ever
Amazing experience, we did the 4 days Masaai Mara and lake Nakuru tour, but I would suggest to do one more day at Masaai Mara because the experience is unique. Any word would not be enough to describe our guide Leroy: he ensured everything was on point, he answered all our questions, his deeply knowledge of the animal environment top off the trip, thanks to his amazing drive and passion we were able to spot all the animals.
Regarding Jockey Tours, the driver was on time the first day of the trip and he took us to an office where they gave us the receipt (we decided to pay everything in advance with extra 5% charge). We stayed at Jambo Mara (very nice) for the first two nights but the third night we did not stay at the hotel that was mentioned in the receipt because there were no rooms available… I would suggest a better organization. Moreover, in the program was mentioned only Masaai Mara and lake Nakuru, but we only did an afternoon game drive at Nakuru and the last morning we did the excursion at lake navaisha that was optional (but if you did not want to, there were no other options available to do something else - and on the program was mentioned a fee of 20usd, we paid 50usd, please update the price). I was a bit disappointed because I thought we would do two game drives at lake Nakuru. For sure 90% of our experience became from ok to amazing thanks to Leroy, we could not ask for a better guide for these days.

This is a standardized and well-established safari company
First, I compared fewer than 10 companies on safari.com, then shortlisted 5 based on their itineraries, pricing, and the smoothness of initial communications. After that, I checked their reviews on TripAdvisor and Google, and finally chose Jocky Tours and Safaris，Facts have proven that this was a correct choice.Minneh and I exchanged multiple rounds of emails. Throughout the process, Minneh patiently and carefully answered all my questions, and, as I requested, selected the best camps within the same category. When we arrived at the last camp, it wasn't the one specified in the contract, but it was much better than the contracted one. The meals were absolutely fantastic—I feel like our group put on a lot of weight during this trip. The concern that we might not find food we liked in Kenya turned out to be completely unfounded.
But above all, I want to express my gratitude to our driver-cum-guide, John—I hope I haven't misspelled his name. As someone with 17 years of driving experience myself, John is the best driver I've ever seen. The roads along the safari route were not good, yet he thoughtfully avoided almost all situations that would cause the vehicle to jolt. He also tried his best to keep us from trailing behind other vehicles and getting covered in dust. With him leading the way, you're sure to see all the animal species you could imagine, because he is so dedicated and capable.

6 day Kenya safari
We had a great time on our 6 day budget safari trip to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Our guide Joseph was wonderful, very knowledgeable, friendly, kind and we felt very safe with him as we traveled by road across Kenya.
