James is the only guide I will explore Africa with & highly recommend requesting him.
We went on an 11-day safari and I can't imagine any of these days without our amazing guide, James. Jocky provided plenty of water and great accommodations. There were a few lodges I would recommend spending the higher tier pricing, but overall they were all great stays. Sweetwater in Olpejeta is a must-stay!

Absolutely amazing experience!!
We went on an 11 day safari with Jocky Tours. Jocky tours was amazing to work with! We had been emailing back and forth for a year to set up our experience, and it did NOT disappoint! Jocky tours answered all of our questions and helped us through the entire planning process.
We requested our driver, James, and he was literally the best safari guide! He exceeded all of our expectations! He is very knowledgeable about all of the wildlife and the parks themselves! He got us the best views of the animals in each park, and we were able to experience rare sightings because of him and his experience! He was with us for 11 days, and he was always so happy, energetic, and excited! Seriously, one of the best experiences of my life!

James M is Jocky Safari!
Jocky Tours did a great job planning our trip via email. They were helpful in coming up with the perfect itinerary within our budget and picked some wonderful accommodations. But the real reason our Safari was so amazing was because of our tour guide, James M! Jocky is so lucky to have him as a guide because he made our trip amazing and I don’t believe everyone gets the same experience as we did. James went above and beyond to see all of the animals, accommodated our requests, and was a pleasure to get to know and be around. James made our trip what it was and we are really appreciative that we had him as our guide. He knew exactly where to go most of the time for the coolest and best animal experiences, always made sure we had the best shot for our photos, and was always ready to go to the next hot spot.
James was funny, patient, respectful, and seems to be loved by all of the other tour guides and lodging staff. We felt like James was part of our family. He made us feel safe and we are really going to miss him! If you have a chance to go on an adventure with James you will be so pleased. He truly is one of a kind!

James is the perfect blend of knowledge and fun
James was great. Two thumbs up for sure! We had great conversion with him while driving from location to location as his English is very good and easy to understand. We were on tour with him for 11 days and he never allowed it to get boring or drag on. Always keeping the mood of the trip light and fun. He has a lot of peers in the business and was able to locate and find all of the animals getting right on several groups of lion, cheetah, elephant etc. We genuinely missed him when the safari was over. Lodges provided by Jocky Tours were always nice and clean for the price.

Regarding the safari, he is well knowledge about animales and the area, he did his best to provide the best experience and spot as many animals as possible, we could stay as long as we wanted taking pictures.
Thank you all, everything was wonderful!

Recommended Tours with Solomon
We took the 3-day Masai Tour and absolutely loved it! Solomon was our guide who picked us up from Nairobi and accompanied us through the entire trip. He was very helpful both to his clients and his colleagues and went above and beyond to show us everything in the park. He answered all our questions and made sure to keep us interested throughout. We even managed to see the rare Black Rhino thanks to Solomon’s dedication!
The camp was basic but had all necessary amenities and meals were satisfactory. It was a pleasant camping-style environment. Mama Helen was kind and catered to all our needs.
Thank you for the experience. Would definitely recommend Jockey Tours and Solomon as your guide.

Kikitu is an incredible guide; friendly, knowledgeable and made it an amazing safari.
Kikitu is an incredible guide; friendly, knowledgeable and made it an amazing safari. He managed to find some very shy animals, and did everything he could to enable us to take perfect photos.
The camp itself was basic w but has everything you need. Good food, helpful staff, hot water and generator power available for charging phones/cameras a few hours every day.
We are already looking forward to our next visit!

They so their best to give you an unforgettable Experience
I had a great time! The tour was very well organized and the camp where we stayed exceeded my expectations. The food was local and tasty, the tents nice: a big bed with enough sheets to stay warm as it gets chilly at night, own clean bathroom, with hot shower.
James is an amazing driver. The Masai Mara roads can be difficult to drive and some groups of elephants or jaguars can be hard to reach because of the deep mud.
With the 4x4 he managed to get us to see almost every animal including elephants, giraffes, jaguars and lions at breakfast.
Definitely worth the trip!

They bring you to real jungle.. go live a wild life so close.
I got amazing service with them. Everything is very easy to book with them and they reply so fast on what’s app and call. We had a guide Jimmy and he is a great guy. He will search wild animals for you going deep. Over all Masai Mara is worth a visit. And with the Jocky tour it’s amazing.. enjoyed lot. Thank you jimmy

Great safari for a great price.
We went on a 5 day safari and were very impressed with the tour. The food was excellent and the campsite was like glamping. The hotels we stayed in had swimming pools and were nice. The Masai Mara game park was amazing and we saw great animals. There was however a lot of travelling on the trip which we were not made aware of. Our guide Albert was very capable and punctual however we felt that often we were not told the details of the day and he perhaps lacked enthusiasm. Overall would recommend this trip to others.
