Kind, available and professional
We spent the weekend with Roby, our designated driver and guide from Jocky Tours and Safaris. The game drive and the safari were amazing. We had the chance to see elephants, cheetahs, lions, giraffes, crocodiles and pretty much everything possible in Kenya. I would recommend 100%

Best safari and amazing experience
Here is an 80-word addition focused on Dennis:
Our guide, Dennis from Guide Kenya, made the safari exceptional. Communication was clear and prompt from the beginning, and he kept us informed about the day’s plan. Dennis was punctual, reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable about the wildlife and environment. He knew the best places to find animals and gave us plenty of time for photos. His thoughtful service made us feel safe and comfortable throughout. The tour offered excellent value for money, and we would gladly recommend Dennis to anyone.

An Unforgettable Safari with an Amazing Guide
I had an excellent safari experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris. Everything was well organized, and the whole trip exceeded my expectations.
A special thanks to our guide, Dennis Guide Kenya, who was absolutely fantastic. He is very cool, friendly, professional, and has an incredible ability to spot wildlife. We were often amazed by how quickly he could find animals that were almost impossible to see. Thanks to his experience and sharp eyes, we saw many amazing animals and had unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Dennis was also very knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions about the animals, nature, and local culture. His passion for wildlife made the safari even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris, especially if you have Dennis as your guide. Great service, great value for money, and an unforgettable adventure in Kenya!

Safari dream come true
Our journey began with sourcing through a few safari tour providers. (They're many!) What gave me alot of confidence with Jocky was how clear and responsive they were with their details. As I was planning ahead, they were also open to specific modifications that I wanted.
They picked us up from the airport and upon full payment, David was our guide and driver for the following 4 days. He's a great guide, with plenty of knowledge to share, a laid back vibe and great sense of humour too. Really felt confident in him taking us for this adventure.
Fortune smiled as well during our tour as David navigated us to spot all 5 of the 'must see' animals. Overall a wonderful experience that I'll remember.

Mind-blowing experience, exceeded expectations in every way.
The tour was very well organized from start to finish. Even before we arrived in Kenya, they were very helpful and patient in answering all our questions. They even rescheduled when our flights were cancelled due to the war.
The tour itself was absolutely amazing - our guide - Robert - is a wildlife expert. His knowledge about all the animals is seriously impressive and his ability to find the animals is unparalleled. He took us around for way longer than usual game drives and made sure that we spotted every animal. He stopped every time someone wanted to take a picture and also coordinated extremely well.
Totally recommend everyone to try this out and ask for Robert!! Truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time.

James was very kind and helpful. Good driver and made us have an excellent experience
We really enjoyed the trip and got to see a lot. The driver was really good and took us as soon as possible when he noticed animals.
My friends are coming to kenya next month and i will definitely recommend this tour group to them. I found this on a tik tok review of how reasonable the prices are and quality so please maintain this.
The guide/driver is truly amazing though the admin team is problematic.
Our driver Raheem was an amazing driver. He respects manners, drives safely, is always on time and above all, we were able to see a wide range of animals, including lions and cheetahs thanks to him!! I highly recommend Raheem for your guide. Everything was perfect with him and I appreciate his hard work.
On the other hand, we had issue with the admin team. I was told beforehand that I could pay in Kenyan shillings at their office, but when I went to their office on the first day of the tour, they said I could only pay by card in USD or by cash in KES. I didn’t prepare cash, so I was instructed to walk to the ATM in the CBD area to withdraw more than KES 200,000 and bring back to the office. I went to the ATM, but the withdrawal limit per day was below the amount I needed. I withdrew the maximum amount and paid in cash. Only after that, they suggested the rest can be paid through bank transfer. I wondered why I wasted one hour and walked around the CBD area with fairly big amount of cash when I could have done bank transfer in the first place.
Good affordable option
I recently took my 6- and 7-year-old daughters on a safari trip to the Maasai Mara. Initially, we had booked a shared safari vehicle, but during the drive to the Mara, I realized that a private vehicle would be a much better fit for our family. My kids loved moving around the vehicle and looking out from different sides to spot wildlife.
After reaching out, both the hotel and Jockey Travel were incredibly flexible and accommodated our last-minute request for a private safari van. That change made a huge difference and helped create a truly memorable experience for all three of us.
We were also fortunate to have two excellent drivers and guides. Papa John drove us to the Maasai Mara and led our first evening game drive, while Patrick guided us for the remaining two days. Both were knowledgeable, patient, and wonderful with the kids.
We booked the mid-range package and stayed at Mara Jambo. It was a great choice for families. The property had a swimming pool (a bit chilly in June, but the kids still enjoyed it), and the food was excellent. The live cooking stations for pasta, omelets, and pancakes were a big hit with the children. Plenty of vegetarian Indian food option as well.
Overall, I would highly recommend Jockey Travel to anyone looking for a stress-free safari experience. Their flexibility, organization, and quality of service helped make this a trip our family will never forget.

Amazing one week safari
Everything went smoothly with Jocky Tours, from when we made first contact with them till the end of the safari. Their email response was always excellent. Airport pickup also went smoothly. We were assigned Evans as guide and he was excellent. What we really liked about him was that he was always attentive about our needs and made best efforts to scout and show the animals to us. We saw lions a lot of times in the entire safari. One thing which particularly stands out was the effort he made to show us leopard in Masai Mara. The first time we reached the place where the leopard was supposed to be, the leopard had left it. We came back later a second time also and had no luck. He later tried again a third time to get us to another place where a leopard was, but it was lying in the grass somewhere and we couldn’t see it. On the fourth time at another place in the grass we finally saw the leopard. What impressed me was always how much effort he made to show us the animals and the patience. The stays were also very good with the Manjaro Tented camp in Amboseli worth mentioning. Overall, we are very satisfied. Just a small feedback maybe to the tour company to improve for other travellers - please consider switching the place for lunch between Masai Mara and Nakuru. The other place for lunch between Nakuru and Naivasha & Naivasha and Amboseli was fine.
