Amazing arrangement
Everything was great, the driver was picking me and my mom up very on time to the office and everything went so smoothly. We have been with Geeman, our tour guide, for four days, and we had a great time in the jungle by seeing all the beautiful lives thanks by Geeman’s efforts! Camping was fun, and all the stuffs are so nice! Everything is perfect!!

Great
Our Kenya safari was fantastic, and our guide Stanley made it unforgettable! He has an amazing talent for finding wildlife and great knowledge of animals and local culture. Stanley was safe, patient and thoughtful, and we managed to see the Big Five. Strongly recommended for anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

The best safari guide!
Overall, I really enjoyed my experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris.
Booking: I booked with Jocky Tours only two weeks before my planned safari, and they were very responsive and accommodating. They answered all of my questions via WhatsApp within three to four days, and I was able to pay a deposit to secure my trip easily. Communication was a bit limited in the period immediately before the trip, which initially concerned me, but they ensured that all logistics and details were taken care of before departure.
Accommodations: I stayed at Jambo Mara, a mid-range accommodation option that was perfect for the trip. My guide helped me check in and out and coordinated my lunches with the lodge, which made everything very smooth. The lodge itself was clean, safe, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. Beverages other than bottled water were not included, but this was communicated clearly beforehand. After long days on safari, the hot shower and large, comfortable bed were exactly what I needed. The food was good overall, though it left a little to be desired at times. My favorite part was the live cooking station, especially the omelets, noodles, and pasta dishes.
Guide: The most important part: the safari guide. I had John Walter, also known as “John of the Jungle,” and I would 1000% recommend requesting him if possible. He was charming, funny, knowledgeable, and extremely kind.
During our first afternoon game drive, we saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, and multiple female lions-all within the first three hours. On our second day, he asked what we most wanted to see and managed to help us find nearly all of it. He made a real effort to introduce us to new animals rather than repeatedly stopping at species we had already seen.
John was truly a 5/5 guide, and I feel very fortunate to have had him for this experience.

Great and knowledgeable company. Best tour guide (Name: Papa John)
Amazing masai mara safari experience. My tour guide was Papa John. Very fun, knowledgeable and kind guide. Taught our group so much about the animals, safari and surrounding area. Make sure you ask for him next time you book. The tour company was also very responsive and competitive pricing.
