Papa John was amazing, really knowledgeable and answered all our questions patiently.
We are very happy with Jocky tours. They provided us with a package and itinerary suitable to our needs. We stayed at Enkorok camp (new property), the tents were amazing, and food was really good. We enjoyed all 4 days - 2 nights at Masai Mara and 1 night at Lake Nakuru.
Will recommend.
Papa John was very good natured and guided us very well.
I liked the hotels we stayed in our mid range tour. Everything went smoothly and Papa John guided us very well throughout the trip and also gave good recommendations.

Overall good experience, but we were not informed about the additional fee before arrival
We had such a wonderful time on our first safari with James! He always managed to get us the best spots to see the animals and patiently explained every species in great detail — you can truly feel how much he knows and cares about wildlife. He’s also really funny and responsible, which made every ride both safe and enjoyable. My friends and I had so much fun, and even our carmates were lovely — the whole experience was unforgettable. I’ll definitely miss it (and James!) 💛

The Best Safari Experience I Ever Had
Book it now! Our Safari Tour with Brian from Jocky Tours was amazing. I am so glad I booked with them.
The first day we saw lions feasting on an Elon. Zebras and Giraffes grazing all through out the park. We also saw Elephants as well.
The second day was even better. It almost felt like I was in a National Geographic wildlife show. We spotted 4 out of the big 5 on both safari rides. The terrain and ecosystem was just beautiful. This tour was curated so well and I got exactly what I wanted from it.
It's important that I speak on Brian, our guide, services as well. He is someone I would recommend a million times. He made my friend and I feel so comfortable and became a great friend the first day. He's knowledgeable and personable. Took the time to speak to other guides to stay up to date on sightings in the park. There was WiFi available in the car and the jeep had a great sound system. He's really the best guy for the job. Ask for him when booking!

Alex Ngugi made our experience unforgettable
We'd first like to say that our guide, Alex Ngugi, was an absolute gem. He truly made our experience special. It's easy to see the passion he has for his work, not only prioritizing our interests over his plans, but also respectfully nudging us in the right direction not to miss something special.
We also appreciated the respect he showed the animals, always maintaining a respectful distance when necessary and never daring cutting them off like some others have. Alex was very skilled at anticipating where they would be, proving that such behaviour wasn't necessary.
Regarding the safari itself, we had a strong preference for the Maasai Mara. It has what seems like an endless stream of animals from crocodiles to lions to zebras. Unlike the Nakuru and Amboseli parks, they allow off-roading to some extent, which offers more opportunities to spot more species. We would personally recommending passing on those two and simply fully enjoy the Maasai Mara.
Nonetheless, Alex and Jocky Tours delivered a truly unforgettable experience.

A nice experience but with an extra charge
Even we spend a wonderful time, and I will definitly repeat with them, when we arrives to Nairobi they inform us about an extra charge for the national parks, I think they could managed that better.
In the other hand, we did an amazing 7 days tour for a very good price. Our guide was James Gichina and he do his best to give you a memorable trip, he was wonderful.

Profesional, everything you expect for a Safari
100% recomendable the 7days Safari with Jocky Tours, good price for a good experience. Although you have to pay attention on the itinerary they'll give you, everything was almost as they said and we expected, so professional with us.
Special mention to our guide, James Gichina, he made us to feel at home, always taking care about us and our experience, if we came back we will repeat with him, 100% recomendable!

Joshua was professional, knowledgable and his enthusiasm for his work and the animals shined through
The food and accommodation was decent and comfortable and as expected for a budget safari. There was plenty of food at every meal and opportunities to buy snacks on the road. The schedule was well organised, with maximum time spent in the parks and reserves, timings were all very well communicated.
Our guide, Joshua, strove to give us the best experiences in animal sightings, we saw the big five in the first evening game drive!
