An Unforgettable Safari from Start to Finish – Incredible Wildlife and an Outstanding Guide!
A fantastic safari from start to finish! Our driver and guide, Brian Ondigo, was simply perfect: friendly, cheerful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the park. He was constantly in radio contact with the other drivers to find out where the best sightings were, which allowed us to see practically everything the park has to offer. He also drove the jeep with great confidence, even on the more challenging sections of the route.
We stayed at Enkorok Camp, booked through Jocky, and everything there was excellent as well: the tent was clean and the food was genuinely very good.
The only downside came on the way back, when halfway through the journey we were asked to change jeeps because the passengers had different destinations. Unfortunately, the new driver did not know where to take us, even though our hotel had been provided at the time of booking. The agency, however, acted quickly and arranged a taxi for us.
Considering the traffic, the return journey ends up taking almost an entire day. This is certainly something that could be improved, but it doesn’t take away from what was otherwise a truly wonderful safari experience.
Highly recommended — especially thanks to Brian, whose knowledge, enthusiasm and driving skills made the experience even more special!

An unforgettable safari experience with an amazing team
We had a wonderful safari experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris and were very happy with the whole trip. Everything was well organized, communication was easy, and the service was reliable from beginning to end.
A special thanks to our driver and guide Evans, who made our safari even more enjoyable. He was professional, friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about the animals and the area. He always did his best to find the best spots for wildlife viewing and gave us enough time to enjoy the experience and take photos. We always felt safe and comfortable with him.
The safari was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Kenya. We had an amazing time and would happily recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris, and especially Evans, to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

A wonderful safari experience in Kenya that we highly recommend!
We spent six days on safari across three different parks and were lucky enough to see the Big Five from the very first day, despite the rain! It was an exceptional experience, getting so close to nature and seeing the animals in their natural environment.
A big thank you to Geeman, our guide, who accompanied us throughout the entire safari. He was very attentive, helpful and always available. He shared interesting information about the animals as well as Kenyan culture, and always made sure we were safe throughout the trip.
The agency was also very responsive and available to answer all our questions. The itinerary was clear, well organised and exactly as planned.
An unforgettable experience, with an excellent guide and great organisation. We are leaving with wonderful memories and lots of amazing photos!

Amazing Safari with Dickson
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Dickson as our guide! From the very beginning, he was incredibly welcoming, friendly, professional and always in a great mood.
Dickson made the whole safari unforgettable. He has an impressive knowledge of the wildlife, the parks and the animals, and he was always happy to explain everything and answer all our questions. He knew exactly where to go to give us the best chances of seeing the animals, while always being patient and making sure everyone was enjoying the experience.
Beyond being an excellent guide, Dickson is simply a great person. He is kind, funny, attentive and genuinely passionate about what he does. We shared so many great moments and laughs with him throughout the trip, and he really became an important part of our safari experience.
Everything was incredible from start to finish, and a huge part of that was thanks to him. The landscapes and wildlife were amazing, but having such a great guide made the experience even more special.
Thank you so much, Dickson, for your kindness, your energy, your professionalism and all the incredible memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
I would recommend Dickson 100% to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. An unforgettable experience with an unforgettable guide!
Asante sana, Dickson! 🙏

Best 7 days of my life
Thank you Jocky tours.
It was the best experience of my life. Safari was well organised. Pickup and drop were on time. Admins were highly cooperative.
Coming to our safari, what an experience it was. We saw all big 5, ugly 5 and the rarest of the species. Special mention to our guide Alex, if went extra mile to get us the best shot possible. I would highly recommend you ask for Alex for your Safari. We actually did 7 days including Amboseli.
I would highly recommend this. They are best in giving the experience at a very reasonable price.

Fast and easy communication, without any issues, very nice people
Me and my husband chose Kenya to enjoy our honeymoon and decided to go with Jocky tour for safari and we could not have asked for more!
Email communication (with Maureen) was very fast, with sufficient informations and very nice. The reservation and pre-payment went without any issues.
This tour was better than we could have ever imagined. Andrew - our guide - made this whole tour very enjoyable from the first minute in the car. Very approachable and funny guy!
He shared with us about kenya culture, traditions, tribes. Andrew answered every question we asked.
We stayed in Enkorok Camp and it was great as well. Comfort stay, it had everything you need. Starting from your own bathroom with a shower and a toilet to drinks at the pool. Very kind and helpful people. It was an amazing experience to sleep in big tents right next to the wildlife. To be waken up from singing birds and different animals is something you can‘t describe, you have to experience!
During our visits in the Masai Mara National Park we saw lots of wildlife and four out of the big five! Andrew gave us great insight on all animals, took some off road tracks to find the animals we wanted to see and whenever we asked for a quick stop to either take a picture or - as he called it - mark our Territory, he did not hesitate and placed the car perfectly to take pictures or hide behind it.
Thank you for this great experience, we wouldn’t change a thing and would book it all over again!

Safari in Kenya
The safari in Masai Mara National Park was wonderful; we saw a great many animals. Nakuru and Naivasha parks were also fantastic. Our guide, Joshua, is very knowledgeable and attentive; it is clear that he loves his job

Private safari tour Masai Mara
A wonderful 5-day experience in the Masai Mara, Naivasha, and Nakuru. Joshua was an excellent guide, answering all our questions, and was always very helpful. The buffet food was always varied, and the rooms were comfortable (except for the second hotel, which was very old and noisy).

Great value for money
Jockey tours was really reliable and punctual. They delivered everything that was promised and as it was explained.
1. Our guide was David Mukami. He was friendly, always ready to help and to support us on our requests. He was always looking for a great spot for us to see the animals. Thank you very much David!
2. We chose the mid-range option, which included the following hotels: Mara Wildnest & Buraha Zenoni & Chambai resort. The hotels were good. People were always kind. Food was good and comforting, and hotels clean. Do not expect any luxury, but they will provide you what you need. Buraha hotel was better than expected.
3. All the activities were great, except Hell's Gate, which was okeish. There are not too many animals. On the contrary, I highly recommend to do the walking tour in Crescent island. You will have the animals next to you (zebras, giraffe, wildebeest, antelopes). This tour was not included in the information or suggestions I got from Jockey Tours, so I would suggest Jockey tours to include it in the optional ones. Nevertheless, when I asked them about the option, they arrange it for us. For me crescent island was a highlight.
4. Safari of Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Naivasha was a great choice for my first safari.
Thank you very much to Jockey Tours and to David Mukami, you make my safari a great experience.
