it was a lifetime experience with jocky tours and francis as the guide
Jocky tours and Safaris worked with us to create a safari itinerary that perfectly fit our safari experience requests. Moreen reworked our itinerary more than once to fit our requests
We finally settled on a 6 days safari which included Masai Mara , lake Nakuru and, Amboseli national park .
Francis was with us for our entire safari, staying at the bush with us.
He took us to different areas each day, and we were in the vehicle all day looking at God’s beautiful creation. Amazing up-close and personal views of animals that we only see in a zoo .Putting his years of tour guiding experience to work, Francis would expertly place our vehicle right in the path of lions, cheetahs, zebras, elephants, and even more animals. These animals would walk right in front of our parked vehicle and practically pose for photos. I know I keep saying amazing, but it truly was AMAZING! The other guides knew and respected Francis , as they would share information along the way about animal locations.
I would be remiss if I failed to brag on the accommodations, which exactly fit our requests. Our tents were truly nice in Masai mara lenchada camp ,The shower in buraha zenoni resort in Nakuru had better water pressure than ours at home, and the room was so comfortable. The king sized bed was heavenly! We slept so well. The food was top-notch, every single meal. We were so spoiled! There were no fences to keep animals out, but we felt safe. The animals really don’t want to mess with humans. However, it was cool to hear them nearby. I felt safe, and I didn’t expect to.
Our day in Masai Mara was pure magic! It felt like Noah had emptied the ark right there in that place. Everywhere we looked, we saw beauty and God’s majesty. We saw large groups of animals living side by side, zebras, baboons, elephants, gazelles, lions, rhinos in lake Nakuru , hippos, etc. What a safari ! Imagine our joy as we watched 3 mother lionesses walk right in front of us with their cubs! We could not have scripted a better day looking at animals. It was like Francis knew our safari checklist, and he fulfilled it.
I highly recommend Jocky tours and Safaris and more if you request for Francis to be your safari guide . You won’t regret going with an experienced company that knows how to make the most of your safari dollars.

highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris and our guide william
Our Safari trip to Kenya was an absolute dream come true, and a huge part of that is thanks to Jocky Tours and Safaris and our phenomenal guide, William!
From the moment we arrived, William’s professionalism, expertise, and warm hospitality truly shone. His deep passion for wildlife and the local ecosystem is remarkable. Out in the vast savannah, his sharp eyes and incredible tracking skills helped us spot wildlife that we would have easily missed on our own—from elusive leopards hidden in the bush to lions resting in the distance.
Beyond his tracking abilities, William is an exceptionally attentive and thoughtful guide. He always prioritized our safety and comfort, patiently answered all our questions, and tailored the experience to our interests. A special thanks also goes to the team at Jocky Tours and Safaris for the seamless arrangements and great communication throughout our journey.
If you are planning a trip to Kenya, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with Jocky Tours and Safaris and requesting William as your guide. They will turn your Safari dreams into an extraordinary reality. Thank you so much!

Our guide Dennis Hinga was really great! He got us to see almost all the animals. He’s kind and hard‑working. We’ve had an amazing trip and our impression of Kenya is absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend everyone to ask for Dennis Hinga as your guide if you book with this travel agency.

Amazing safari
We had an amazing safari experience with Jocky Tours!
The first two days in the Masai Mara were absolutely incredible. We spent much more time on game drives than we expected and saw an amazing number of animals. We were especially happy to see all of the Big Five within just two days.
Our driver, David Mukami, was also fantastic, especially when we were trying to find a leopard. His driving and positioning skills were impressive and really added to the experience.
Days 3 to 5 felt a little long at times, but it was still fun to experience different sides of Kenya. The cycling safari and the walk through the valley on the final day were also surprisingly enjoyable.
Overall, we were very happy with Jocky Tours. The accommodations and lunch restaurants were also well chosen. We would definitely recommend this safari to other travelers!

Wonderful experience
Safari was so amazing with the driver David Mikami. He was such an amazing driver. He made sure to see Big Five and we saw them all. He knows where and which spot to see the best every time. Also, he is literally very good driver the way he put the break on the rough road. You won’t get car sick with him.
We really enjoyed it overall. Hotels were mostly very clean and had hot water available. Foods are good every time. It was more than I expected.
We recommend the tour with this company. Thank you so much.

Precise and always available to solve problems and answer questions
After completing the safari, I can say one thing with certainty: I made the right choice!
Jocky Tours organizes safaris perfectly; always available to provide precise answers to requests, they adapt their offer to any special requests, and they always helped me resolve issues, like when my suitcase arrived the next day due to airline issues.
And now I'd like to talk about Geeman, our driver: he always answered every question about nature and animals precisely and punctually. He knows the safari destinations incredibly well, even just by looking at the mountains, and he showed great passion for what he does. He went out of his way to show us the beauty of Kenya and its magnificent animals, always with great availability and kindness.
Geeman, I can confirm what you said when we first met: you are the King of the jungle!

Great 6-Day Safari
I had a very good 6-day safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli with Jocky Tours. I am very happy with everything.
One of the biggest advantages was that all park entrance fees were pre-paid. Paying at the park gates is very hard and takes time. So it should definitely be paid in advance.
Masai Mara was great, other than leopards I believe we saw every major animal. In Nakuru, we saw black and white rhinos and many other animals too. Amboseli was a bit empty unfortunately, we were just not lucky.
Our tour guide Isaac was very good. He tried really hard to show us as many animals as possible and show them from the best angles. He told us a lot of things about the animals. Also, he was very friendly.
