There's no one friendlier and more determined to find us the BEST animals than JAMES!!
James was the best safari driver I could imagine!! From the moment we got into the jeep, James made us feel welcome. And it really seemed to me that despite having been a safari driver for many years, he was still excited to see the animals too.
However, the best thing about James was his determination and ability to find us the coolest animals. We would just ask him "James, can we see cheetahs? Can we see a leopard? Can we see a herd of elephants?" and twenty minutes of radio-ing, searching, and speedy driving later, we'd see them. I'm sure some luck was also involved, but without James' detailed knowledge of where the animals were and his EXTREME determination to get us there, we definitely would not have seen as many cool things.
We only did one full day of safari but we were able to see nursing baby elephants, a lion cub, cheetahs hunting (twice), a leopard, a lion eating a zebra, lionesses hunting, tons of hippos and crocodiles, the Great Migration, a herd of elephants, a serval cat, hyenas... the list just goes on and on.
Also, when the majority of our group wanted to do the cultural walk but my partner and I wanted to do another morning of safari, James insisted that we should be able to get that safari and actually set up a private drive for us (at no extra cost). He was just that determined to make sure we got the experience we wanted.
Book with Jocky Tours for James, you won't regret it!

Amazing safari in jeep with John
We had a 6 days safari budget tour in Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli with a 4x4 jeep.
John was our driver and guide, he is a very good guide in driving safe and in explaining and catching all the animals. He is available to accomodate any request of the group.
The agency assists you in giving any information requested.
One note: toilet of the tented camp in Masai Mara is very poor and can be improved.

Great experience exploring Kenya with them.
We had an amazing time with jocky Tours. The price was good and they were very flexible to help us with our needs from the beginning.
The guides we had drove responsibility and also knew how to find the animals in the safari. We were very lucky as we saw all the big 5 within 3 hours with them and even had a front row seat to cheetah hunt!
I would definitely recommend them.

Fantastic three days in the Mara
We went as a group of five cousins in our 20s to the Mara for three days with Geoff and it was everything and more we could have asked for. Peak efficiency and fab accommodation at Enkorok Lodge. Geoff is a five star guy.

Incredible experience run by a dedicated operator
The 4 day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru and Naivasha is one of the best ‘bang for buck’ experiences I could have ever hoped for. Communication with the team was super easy if you give yourself enough time to buy a cheap sim card. Our tour guide, Charles, was always on time, full of information and help, and knew the ins and outs of the Mara which meant we saw the big 5 all in two days! There is no internet for the first two days of the trip which is fine as we bonded as a group and it was nice to get away from the phone. Travelling with Jockey Tours was super reliable thanks to our guide Charles and the team back in Nairobi. The tour of the Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha was incredible, an experience that cannot be captured in words unless you see it for yourself.

Very pleasing, friendly and overall an amazing operator
Jocky tours was unbelievable. Our guide Jeff was amazing. So friendly and pleasing he went out of his way for us ensuring we saw everything we pleased. Good value for money the quality is very good. Would highly recommend.
3 days masai mara superb!
I researched A LOT before going with Jocky safari, I read a lot on the internet about a lot of bad experience with safari and I was very worried about scam and safety.
But I am super satisfied with them!
Since the beginning they were very proactive answering all my question and things were very clear! Everything was accordingly promissed on the schedule and out driver Kevin was amazing! Super nice and friendly person!
We managed to see the big fives and much more! What an amazing experience! I would recommend them!
Joshua is a wonderful guide!
Joshua was an amazing guide, and we truly felt so lucky to have him leading our safari. He had an eagle eye, spotting things that we never would have seen. (He even found some tiny dik diks that camouflage so well!) He knew so much about the animals and was gracious enough to share all about Kenyan culture, which was very interesting. We would HIGHLY recommend Joshua as a guide.

Amazing trip with an amazing guide
The trip was just amazing. Our guide Albert was very friendly, patient and good at locating the animals we wanted to see. He did not go back to the camp, before we found the animals we were looking for.
The pickup from the hotel was easy as well, and everything seemed organized and professional.
Thanks for a great trip!

He’s a fun-loving, popular, and knowledgeable guy.
From start to finish, this experience was a pleasant one. The emailing was easy. The communication was clear and concise. Our guide, Kikitu, was everything you’d want from a guide. And we received an updating itinerary as we traveled so we received just enough information on what was coming up but were never overwhelmed.
There were a couple hotel issues with some people in our group with the quality not being up to snuff, but I can’t speak to that as my accommodation experience was a positive one.
I’ve wanted to go in a safari for 25 years, and my expectations were high, but this managed to live up to those expectations and exceed them. Thanks so much for a trip that I’ll be able to look back on fondly. Highly recommend the operator and the guide.
