ENTHUSIASTIC
Julius is absolutely the greatest tour guide we could have asked for. He’s done this for such a long time and you can tell because he was taking us to spots with very few safari vehicles to see some stunning animals. As opposed to getting pulled into a sighting that already had 15+ vehicles. Very obviously a veteran! He also knows how to translate the animals in various languages which was awesome! The safari itself, you can’t even dream of something so beautiful. Pictures don’t do it any justice. You will want to experience this with Julius @Jocky Tours. I will go ahead and suggest to request Julius specifically and remain flexible with your dates to ensure you have the best possible experience. GREATEST VALUE ON THE MARKET
Super friendly and knowledgeable
Julius was an incredible tour guide and very well connected in the parks. Just when we thought he was exceptional, somehow he became whatever the word above exceptional is! We were out of cash and he was able to help us get cash. Very new to this traveling experience and his patience on helping us gave us relief! This is very clearly his wonderful character, and thanks to his service we get to go home with not only lifelong memories but a piece of Masaii

Great experience with a knowledgeable, friendly and interesting guide
I did the 6-day budget safari with Jocky, visiting Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Ambroseli. Our driver and guide, Brian Ondigo, was clearly experienced with the parks as well as the driving conditions inside the parks. He was friendly and funny, and took the time to help us see a wide variety of wildlife during the safari. We were even able to see a lion hunting. I also appreciate that he shared bits of information about the parks and the wildlife throughout our time with him. I would definitely enjoy another safari with Brian in the future.
Accomodations were as expected, comparable to a 2 star hotel. It's worth noting that the driving time on the 6-day safari is extensive. Depending on your preferences you may want to skip Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha to save 8+ hours of driving.
Jimmy waweru is Very excited to show animals and patiently waits and answers all questions and facts
Very reliable and easy communication skills being one of the best agencies to book any trip with

The tour operator was reliable, friendly, and highly professional.
We had a wonderful 7-day safari with Jocky Tours and Safaris. From the beginning, the communication was clear and prompt, and all of our questions were answered patiently. The itinerary was well organized, and everything ran smoothly throughout the trip.
Our driver-guide David mukami was experienced, friendly, and worked hard to help us spot wildlife. We were fortunate to see a wide variety of animals, including the Big Five, and the guide shared interesting information about the parks and the animals along the way.
The accommodations and meals met our expectations, and the overall experience offered excellent value for money. We always felt safe and well taken care of. This safari was one of the highlights of our trip to Kenya, and we would happily recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable and memorable safari experience.
Papa John was PHENOMENAL! He is so knowledgeable about the animals and ensured a great experience.
Papa John tour guide was the BEST! Just finished the 6 day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli trip and would 10/10 recommend. Saw all of the Big 5 and much more - great value and experience was better than anticipated.

An excellent guide, concerned, friendly, and experienced.
An incredible safari, excellent quality/price ratio. We went on a private safari with David who did everything he could to ensure we saw the animals.

First time in Kenya Animal Migration
This is my first time in Kenya, and celebrating my birthday with animal migration. If you are single, definitely can choose this tour company, you will join others in a land cruise jeep, they are flexible on customized the tour, I’m able to add one more day in Masai Mara, and definitely worth to have at least 3 nights in Masai Mara, I choose the 7 days Masai Mara, naruku, navasha, and Ambroseli + 2 day in Masai Mara. But don’t expect they schedule your birthday celebration good. It’s better just talk to the camp site or hotel when you arrive, they might give you complimentary cake and room decoration or a small fee. And Remember this will be a lot of driving on unpaved roads, so your guide driving skills is important. I am glad that I have David Mukami as my guide, he will not go through holes like other guides and make you uncomfortable sitting, in his car and guide, it’s a lot more comfortable and he will stop the car when reach animals, unlike other tour guide
