A wonderful safari experience in Kenya that we highly recommend!
We spent six days on safari across three different parks and were lucky enough to see the Big Five from the very first day, despite the rain! It was an exceptional experience, getting so close to nature and seeing the animals in their natural environment.
A big thank you to Geeman, our guide, who accompanied us throughout the entire safari. He was very attentive, helpful and always available. He shared interesting information about the animals as well as Kenyan culture, and always made sure we were safe throughout the trip.
The agency was also very responsive and available to answer all our questions. The itinerary was clear, well organised and exactly as planned.
An unforgettable experience, with an excellent guide and great organisation. We are leaving with wonderful memories and lots of amazing photos!

Amazing Safari with Dickson
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Dickson as our guide! From the very beginning, he was incredibly welcoming, friendly, professional and always in a great mood.
Dickson made the whole safari unforgettable. He has an impressive knowledge of the wildlife, the parks and the animals, and he was always happy to explain everything and answer all our questions. He knew exactly where to go to give us the best chances of seeing the animals, while always being patient and making sure everyone was enjoying the experience.
Beyond being an excellent guide, Dickson is simply a great person. He is kind, funny, attentive and genuinely passionate about what he does. We shared so many great moments and laughs with him throughout the trip, and he really became an important part of our safari experience.
Everything was incredible from start to finish, and a huge part of that was thanks to him. The landscapes and wildlife were amazing, but having such a great guide made the experience even more special.
Thank you so much, Dickson, for your kindness, your energy, your professionalism and all the incredible memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
I would recommend Dickson 100% to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. An unforgettable experience with an unforgettable guide!
Asante sana, Dickson! 🙏

Best 7 days of my life
Thank you Jocky tours.
It was the best experience of my life. Safari was well organised. Pickup and drop were on time. Admins were highly cooperative.
Coming to our safari, what an experience it was. We saw all big 5, ugly 5 and the rarest of the species. Special mention to our guide Alex, if went extra mile to get us the best shot possible. I would highly recommend you ask for Alex for your Safari. We actually did 7 days including Amboseli.
I would highly recommend this. They are best in giving the experience at a very reasonable price.

Fast and easy communication, without any issues, very nice people
Me and my husband chose Kenya to enjoy our honeymoon and decided to go with Jocky tour for safari and we could not have asked for more!
Email communication (with Maureen) was very fast, with sufficient informations and very nice. The reservation and pre-payment went without any issues.
This tour was better than we could have ever imagined. Andrew - our guide - made this whole tour very enjoyable from the first minute in the car. Very approachable and funny guy!
He shared with us about kenya culture, traditions, tribes. Andrew answered every question we asked.
We stayed in Enkorok Camp and it was great as well. Comfort stay, it had everything you need. Starting from your own bathroom with a shower and a toilet to drinks at the pool. Very kind and helpful people. It was an amazing experience to sleep in big tents right next to the wildlife. To be waken up from singing birds and different animals is something you can‘t describe, you have to experience!
During our visits in the Masai Mara National Park we saw lots of wildlife and four out of the big five! Andrew gave us great insight on all animals, took some off road tracks to find the animals we wanted to see and whenever we asked for a quick stop to either take a picture or - as he called it - mark our Territory, he did not hesitate and placed the car perfectly to take pictures or hide behind it.
Thank you for this great experience, we wouldn’t change a thing and would book it all over again!

Safari in Kenya
The safari in Masai Mara National Park was wonderful; we saw a great many animals. Nakuru and Naivasha parks were also fantastic. Our guide, Joshua, is very knowledgeable and attentive; it is clear that he loves his job

Private safari tour Masai Mara
A wonderful 5-day experience in the Masai Mara, Naivasha, and Nakuru. Joshua was an excellent guide, answering all our questions, and was always very helpful. The buffet food was always varied, and the rooms were comfortable (except for the second hotel, which was very old and noisy).

Great value for money
Jockey tours was really reliable and punctual. They delivered everything that was promised and as it was explained.
1. Our guide was David Mukami. He was friendly, always ready to help and to support us on our requests. He was always looking for a great spot for us to see the animals. Thank you very much David!
2. We chose the mid-range option, which included the following hotels: Mara Wildnest & Buraha Zenoni & Chambai resort. The hotels were good. People were always kind. Food was good and comforting, and hotels clean. Do not expect any luxury, but they will provide you what you need. Buraha hotel was better than expected.
3. All the activities were great, except Hell's Gate, which was okeish. There are not too many animals. On the contrary, I highly recommend to do the walking tour in Crescent island. You will have the animals next to you (zebras, giraffe, wildebeest, antelopes). This tour was not included in the information or suggestions I got from Jockey Tours, so I would suggest Jockey tours to include it in the optional ones. Nevertheless, when I asked them about the option, they arrange it for us. For me crescent island was a highlight.
4. Safari of Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Naivasha was a great choice for my first safari.
Thank you very much to Jockey Tours and to David Mukami, you make my safari a great experience.

Delivered a once in a lifetime experience on a tight budget.
Our safari was VERY reasonably priced considering the costs for entering the national parks, number of miles we were driven for, and all meals being included. Communication via email prior to arriving provided a lot of helpful information, and WhatsApp messaging on arrival and during the safari ensured we were kept up to date.
It's important to be aware that things are more fluid in Kenya. For example, the accommodation you stay at may not be the named one, however, ours were all of the same standard as the named ones.
Our driver, Jimmy, was incredible and whilst we had some challenges to overcome (outside his control), he made sure they were sorted as quickly as possible. He also worked really hard in the drives, using his connections with other drivers, to ensure we got to see as much as possible, from the best possible angle.
We did the 7 day tour, and whilst Naivasha, Hell's gate and Nakuru were good, I would have preferred to have had 1 more day in the Masai Mara instead. Naivasha and Nakuru are great for bird watchers and Hell's Gate would be great as a rock climber.
It's important to be aware, that whilst the itinerary says the only "optional extra" is the Masai Mara village tour for $20, this is not the case and it is important you bring more money for other extra visits if you want to go on them. They were:
Walk on crescent island following boat ride $33
Hell's Gate bicycle hire $20
Hell's Gate canyon walk with guide
Amboseli walk from camp with Masai Mara guide $20
Finally, on the itinerary there was the mention of the possibility of a game drive in the evening following the drive from Hell's Gate to Amboseli. From what we can tell, this is virtually impossible, so do not factor this game drive into your considerations when deciding what safari option to choose. We, infact, believe Jocky Tours should remove it from their schedule so as to not raise hopes regarding it.
We had the most amazing experience and saw some of the most incredible sights. I have 1000s of photos I can't wait to look through and I am so pleased I got to experience this. I wouldn't have been able to without Jocky Tours offering such a great value experience.

Andrew is the best guide you could ask for! Humble, smart, funny and very customer focused.
We could not have asked for more!
This tour was better than we could have ever imagined. Our tour guide - Andrew - made this whole tour very enjoyable from the first minute in the car.
We talked a lot on our way from Nairobi to Enkorok Camp and learned a lot from him about Kenya, the history of several villages and towns and the vegetation.
Enkorok Camp also was great. Very kind people and an amazing experience to sleep in big tents right next to the wildlife. Especially the nights are an experience!
During our visits in the Masai Mara National Park we saw lots of wildlife and four out of the big five! Andrew gave us great insight on all animals, took some off road tracks to find the animals we wanted to see and whenever we asked for a quick stop to either take a picture or - as he called it - mark our Territory, he did not hesitate and placed the car perfectly to take pictures or hide behind it.
Thank you for this great experience, we would book it all over again!
