THE BEST SAFARI TOUR OPERATORS!
This has been the best experience of my life and I am so glad I chose Jocky Tours. We had Geeman as our tour guide and he was the best. He showed us every single animal, knew all the spots, he updated us every step of the way and told us some great facts about the animals. He made the experience amazing. He drove so well, not bumpy or dangerous. He also arranged for me and my wife to sit with each other especially. Great tour guide and honestly worth every single penny

An incredible experience with our guide, John Walker
Everything went well with Jocky Tours. I contacted them directly by email to make the booking, and they were always clear with all the information.
As for the safari, everything went to plan. Our guide John Walker really enhanced the experience. He was always very talkative, good-humoured and full of energy. He knew exactly how the animals would behave.
We went for the budget option, so we stayed in low-budget camps. Even so, they were all in very good condition and very clean. The only downside was the time wasted picking people up and dropping them off at the camps, but as it was a budget experience and we were sharing a car, there’s no way round that. I highly recommend the agency and, above all, the guide John Walker.

It met expectations.
Thank you for ensuring customer satisfaction and allowing us to enjoy the safari; the service is highly recommended. I visited with family and friends, and I believe they will be getting in touch as well. Our guide, David, was very friendly and knowledgeable; he made the stay more pleasant and enjoyable, playing a key role in the group's positive experience. Accommodation and meals were provided without a hitch and met all expectations.

Kenya Unfiltered: Big Five, Incredible People & an Epic Guide
My Kenya safari with Jocky Tours from 13–19 September 2026 was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Francis, aka Faru!
I joined this as a solo traveler on a group trip, and from the very beginning, the entire experience was incredibly well planned. The accommodation, food, transportation, and overall organization were all excellent, especially considering this was a budget safari. Everything was well coordinated, which made the trip comfortable and completely stress-free.
On Day 1, Faru told us that he was going to make this trip historic and he absolutely delivered on that promise! His experience, knowledge, and passion for the Kenyan wilderness were evident throughout the entire safari. He seemed to know exactly where to go and when to go, and his connections and experience in the Masai Mara made a huge difference to our sightings.
One of the biggest highlights was how close Faru managed to get us to the animals. He consistently went the extra mile to give us incredible up-close views and photo opportunities, while also making sure we maintained respect for the animals and did not disturb them. It was amazing to watch him read the animals and their surroundings so naturally. You could genuinely tell that the reserves are his backyard.
We were incredibly lucky to have some fantastic sightings of the Big Five, and a huge part of that was down to Faru’s experience, local knowledge, and contacts in the Mara. Whether it was finding wildlife, positioning the vehicle perfectly, or knowing where to be at the right time, he made the safari feel truly special.
Beyond the safari itself, Faru made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire trip. As a solo traveler joining a group of people from different parts of the world, I initially wasn’t sure what to expect, but he was friendly, approachable, professional, and always made sure everyone was having a great time. Travelling and sharing this experience with people from around the world made it even more memorable.
Kenya itself was absolutely breathtaking, but having the right guide made all the difference. Faru didn’t just take us on a safari he created an experience that I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
A huge thank you to Jocky Tours and especially to Faru for an unforgettable 7 days in Kenya. From the planning and accommodation to the food, wildlife, and incredible group experience, everything came together perfectly.
If you’re considering a Kenyan safari, I would highly recommend Jocky Tours and if you get Faru as your guide, you’re in for something truly special! 🇰🇪🦁🐘🐆🦏🦬
Thank you, Francis and Jocky Tours, for making this trip historic — just like you promised on Day 1!

Fantastic and unforgettable
We went on safari to celebrate our honeymoon, and we were lucky enough to have Moses accompanying us.
He is an incredible guy — extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and always happy to explain everything to us. He would regularly stop to share interesting information and always gave us plenty of time and freedom to take as many photos as we wanted.
You can really tell he has a lot of experience with safaris from the way he drives and approaches the animals, always keeping a safe and respectful distance and prioritizing their well-being and preservation.
He was always punctual, available, and attentive throughout the entire experience.
I would 100% recommend Moses to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience!
