A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE
Papa Jones was a great driver - fun, knowledgeable and hardworking - he went out of his way to make sure that we had an excellent experience. Saw the “Big 5” in the first two days, and then so much more. We did the 6-day Masai Mara-Lake Nakuru-Amboseli tour. The game drives were spectacular and we really enjoyed the two tented camps. Highly recommended!

Brian is the best tour operator, ever.
Our safari with Africa Jocky Tours & Safaris was incredible from start to finish. On day one, we watched a pair of lions feasting on a huge eland, such a wild way to kick off the trip. The next morning, we headed out early in Maasai Mara and spotted four of the Big Five: leopard, elephants, lions, and water buffalos. We also saw a cheetah, tons of giraffes, and plenty of other wildlife throughout the day.
The safari vehicle was super comfortable and even had WiFi, which made it easy to share photos and stay connected. Brian was an awesome guide. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and maximized our experience in Masai Mara. I would get excited whenever Brian would announce Surprise, Surprise. It's kind of his thing. It means we are about to see something cool.
I’d 100% recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris, and especially Brian Ondigo, to anyone looking for a smooth, well-organized, and unforgettable safari experience. Thanks again, Brian, for such a memorable trip to Kenya!

BEST SAFARI I EVER HAD !!!
I was initially unsure whether Jocky Tours was genuine or not, but their professionalism quickly won me over. They shared a well-crafted itinerary tailored to my preferences and budget, and what really impressed me was their prompt and reassuring communication — every email was answered swiftly.
I joined their 4-day Maasai Mara–Lake Nakuru group safari, guided by Mr. Peter Kapino, who was both our driver and an exceptional guide. His deep knowledge of the parks and wildlife was remarkable, and he always ensured we were comfortable throughout the journey. The accommodations were pleasant, and the picnic lunches at scenic spots made each day feel special.
To top it off, I was fortunate to have a wonderful group of fellow travelers who made the experience even more memorable. Overall, it turned out to be the best safari I’ve ever had. I wholeheartedly recommend Jocky Tours — and if you can, ask for Peter Kapino!

Incredible safari, seen everything I wanted
Did the 3 day safari with Kikitu. A brilliant driver who really makes the effort to make sure you see everything you want. He's super fun and friendly, and loves the job. Elephants, a pride of lions, lion with a kill, 2x cheetahs, hippos, buffalo, crocodiles, rhino, giraffe, zebra just to name a few. Overall a top class safari experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had the absolute best safari experience with our guide, Peter Kapino! From start to finish, Peter went above and beyond to make sure our trip was unforgettable. He’s incredibly knowledgeable — he seemed to know every detail about every animal we came across and answered all our questions with such enthusiasm and patience.
What really stood out was how thoughtful he was throughout the day. He constantly made sure we were comfortable and hydrated (a lifesaver under that African sun!), and he never rushed us. Peter took his time spotting animals, using his sharp eyes and deep understanding of the terrain to find incredible wildlife we never would have seen on our own.
He truly went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we came for — and more! Thanks to him, we left with amazing memories, stunning photos, and a huge appreciation for the wildlife and landscape.
If you’re lucky enough to get Peter as your guide, you’re in for an incredible experience. Couldn’t recommend him more highly! 🦁🐘🦒

We had the absolute best time on our safari thanks to Peter Kapino! From start to finish, he was amazing — super passionate, responsible, and always respectful toward us and the wildlife. Peter made every drive fun and was incredibly knowledgeable about everything — seriously, he had an answer for every single question we asked. Most importantly, he always made sure we felt safe and comfortable.
Because of Peter, we got to experience everything we had dreamed of and even more. If we ever come back, there’s no question — we’re only going with the legend himself, Peter Kapino. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

Fun
Our driver David Mukami was the best! He drove extremely well and got us to all of our destinations safely and in time. We saw all the animals we wanted to see and more! If we come back we will absolutely request to do the safari again with him. Thank you David!

A dream come true!
Our experience with James Gichina was absolutely amazing!
From the very first moment, James proved to be a true professional — attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly dedicated. He went above and beyond to make sure we could see as many animals as possible, and he patiently explained everything about them, from their behavior to their natural habitats.
What stood out most was his kindness and patience. James was always available, constantly checking that we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying every part of the trip. You could really feel that he cared about us personally and wanted us to have the best experience possible.
A few things that could be improved:
• The payment process was a bit confusing. When we arrived on the first day, the reception asked us to pay an additional $80 per person without informing us in advance or explaining why. It would be great if this could be clarified ahead of time for future guests.
• The food was okay, but as a vegan, the options were very limited — mostly rice. It would be wonderful to see a bit more variety in the meals, even just some simple dishes like pasta, pizza, or something sweet like chocolate.
• On one of the days, there was no hot water in the shower because of a power outage — not a major issue, but still worth noting.
Despite these small issues, everything else was truly fantastic. The safari itself exceeded our expectations — it was beautiful, well-organized, and we genuinely felt safe and cared for the entire time.
We can honestly say we fulfilled a dream!
I highly recommend booking your safari with Jockey Safaris, and if you can — make sure you go with James. He will make your trip unforgettable!

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.
