Unforgettable Safari Experience with Jocky Tours & Our Amazing Guide James
We booked a safari with Jocky Tours & Safaris and had an incredible experience. From the start, communication was smooth and professional, and the itinerary was thoughtfully planned.
A big thank you to our guide, James, whose kindness, knowledge, and attention to detail made the trip unforgettable. He helped us spot leopards and cheerah in the wild an absolutely surreal moment and made sure we captured it perfectly. He also give us the opportunity to see all the big fives.
If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, we highly recommend Jocky Tours—and if you get James as your guide, you’re in for something special!

Enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable
I recently returned from a 4-day safari in Kenya, and I can honestly say it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised, breathtakingly beautiful, and full of unforgettable moments — and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Dennis.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, don’t hesitate — and if you get Dennis as your guide, consider yourself lucky. He truly made an amazing trip even more extraordinary.
10/10 – I can’t recommend this enough!

Dennis was amazing
I recently went on a four-day safari tour, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our driver, Dennis, was absolutely fantastic — incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, the landscape, and the local culture. He made every game drive exciting and informative, and his passion for nature really came through in everything he did. Thanks to Dennis, we spotted so many animals and learned so much along the way. I truly enjoyed every moment of the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and well-guided safari experience!

An Unforgettable African Safari Experience – Highly Recommended!
Our African safari with Jocky Tours & Safaris was amazing! Unforgettable wildlife encounters, every moment was perfect.. The booking process was smooth, and they were responsive to our questions.
A special thank you to our guide, Dennis, whose expertise and kindness made the experience even more memorable. He went above and beyond to accommodate our personal requests, ensuring we had the best possible safari adventure. We truly appreciate the effort and thoughtfulness—it made our journey unforgettable!
The best moment was witnessing two leopards in the wild devouring their meal. Dennis’ keen eye and expertise ensured we got the perfect angle for both photos and video, making this once-in-a-lifetime sight even more special.
I highly recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris to anyone looking for an African safari experience — and if you get Dennis as your guide, consider yourself very lucky!

Funny and Helpful
John Walter was a great guide that made everyone feel welcome and satisfied. He personally ensured my friend and I would have transportation to Carnivore at the end of the tour, willing to stay until they arrived. He was very knowledgeable while we were on Safari, and made sure we got to see many of the animals. Jockey tours provides a great experience and exceptional value.

A truly memorable experience.
A truly memorable experience.
The 5-day safari program is an excellent opportunity to discover the country's rich and exuberant wildlife — and as a bonus, enjoy a taste of local culture and delicious food.
The tour operator Jocky Tours is very well organized and punctual. They offer different package options depending on your budget, mainly varying by accommodation style. The service includes hotel-to-hotel transportation: they pick you up at your hotel, take you to the safari and lodges, and drop you off at your next hotel afterward. The itinerary is well-structured, so all you need to do is hop in and out of the vehicle and take lots of photos. We booked through SafariBooking, which has a very efficient reservation and payment system.
And if your safari happens to be with John Walter of the Jungle, then you're in for the full experience. Friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver and guide, John is incredibly attentive to everyone's needs. He’ll do everything he can to make sure you spot the Big Five — even if the lion insists on hiding under a bush! A true expert on Kenyan wildlife and culture, his insights added even more depth and meaning to the journey.
Thank you, John and Jocky. I chose Kenya to celebrate my birthday, and you gave me an experience I will never forget.

Magical time in Kenya 🇰🇪
Firstly - I had a fantastic time on safari in Kenya & would recommend to anyone! I’m going to break the parts down below for more information on each section.
1. The Tour Company - ⭐️⭐️
Honestly, the worst part of the whole thing was the actual tour company. I had food poisoning the day we were going, and I waited over an hour and forty minutes for the driver to pick me up from the hotel because they told me to be ready at the wrong time. They stopped replying to my emails or picking up the phone so I had no idea what was happening, which when you’re that unwell isn’t ideal. They also managed to mess up us leaving with the boat tour (aka hadn’t sorted us transportation back to Nairobi that would allow us to complete the trip with the boat trip!!!!), so we had to fight to be able to do both aspects after they told us we would just have to go back to Nairobi (having done only a two hour game drive that day). As I was dropped back in Nairobi the driver asked me to pay for the trip so I then had to sort that out with them as well (hard to sort when they aren’t very communicative). Also you do just hand over the cash to someone who picks you up, no receipt etc, which I found quite stressful. So all in all wasn’t very impressed with them as they made the trip much more stressful than needed!
2. Sir Charles - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Charles was the BEST tour guide and helped us to sort out the issues we had. He has a magical gift for finding the animals and was always talking to everyone else to make sure that we got to see everything! My friend has lived there for a year and not seen half the animals we saw (e.g. male lions everyday and even a leopard!). Make sure you ask for Charles (I’m considering going back later this year and definitely will be asking for Charles again!!!)
3. Accommodation - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I went for Jambo Lodge & Lake Nakuru Lodge. Firstly, the people in both were so so nice, which really helps to make the experience. The food in Jambo was not fab (although I think recovering from food poisoning took away from it slightly ahaha) & the pack lunch was definitely the worst of the three camps. The pool was also out of action which I was v sad about. The room was beautiful though and the bed really comfy, I would definitely stay there again (but take snacks). Lake Nakuru Lodge, the sunset was magical here and the pool was great! The food here was also really good. The room, however, was not as nice - the glass door to outside was broken and it had an older feel. I would umm and ahhh over staying here again, but the sunset might persuade me to!
Boat trip - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely loved the boat trip, I would say that is worth the money! You get to see an island that just has animals on it and hippos, Ken was also really nice!
All in all you should definitely go on safari and ask for Charles - he made the trip for me. A few things the tour company can improve on, but the memories make up for it.

Kikitu is a bundle of energy, equipped with both knowledge and commitment to deliver above & beyond
For our first time visiting Africa, our group collectively felt blessed that we had been randomly paired with Kikitu. He made waking up at sunrise actually enjoyable because we were met with his contagious enthusiasm. Kikitu delivered on all fronts, and I appreciated that beyond making sure we had a front row to the top tier animals on the safari he would check in on us to make sure we were comfortable, if we needed water or the washroom. I appreciate the attention to detail!

They were quick and efficient and made me feel taken care of.
It’s a bit nerve-racking selecting a safari online and without a travel agent, but Jocky Tours made the experience so nice especially for someone on a budget. All of my questions were answered quickly and taken care of, even my extra accommodation request for my group. I would highly recommend booking with Jocky Tours!
