Fantastic safari in Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru
As a family of five, we had an absolutely fantastic safari with Jocky Tours: two days in the Masai Mara and one day in Lake Nakuru.
Thanks to our incredible guide, Kikitu, we were able to see the Big Five and every other animal on our wish list. His knowledge, experience, and network seemed limitless. It felt like he knew everyone in Maasailand, which helped us enjoy some truly unforgettable wildlife sightings.
From start to finish, Jocky Tours provided excellent service. Their communication was fast and professional, the rates were fair, and they were very flexible in adapting the trip to our family's needs. We couldn't have asked for a better safari experience.
Asante sana !

Amazing tour, would do it again!
The operator is really fast in answering questions and providing information. We did the 3 day and 2 nights Masai Mara. The jeep was a good size, we were 7 people in the car but it was very spacious. We chose the mid budget accommodation and it was truly so nice! Clean rooms, nice showers, really good food. All meals are included. My friend is a vegetarian and she also enjoyed the food very much. But mostly our tour guide Joseph was truly amazing! He really took care of us, knew so much about the animals, we saw all big five and were able to ask him to stop longer if we wanted to. Very funny and good music taste as well ☺️ The optional masai Mara village is also highly recommended!! Very cool to see and they were also very funny.
This whole tour was our best memory from Kenya and I would recommend Jocky Tours to everyone! If you get the chance ask for Joseph as your tour guide! He made it 11/10

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Highly Recommended!
We had an absolutely amazing experience on our trip to Kenya, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Francis (Jocky tours)!
From the very beginning, everything went smoothly. Francis picked us up at the airport and took us to the office to complete the payment process, which took just around 15 minutes. From there, our adventure began!
We started with an incredible three-day safari in the Masai Mara, staying at the lovely Enkorok Mara Camp . The experience was simply fantastic! We then continued to Nakuru(where we stayed 1 night in Nakuru lodge) another beautiful destination, before heading to Naivasha for 2 days (Navaisha country club), where we enjoyed an amazing hike at Mount Longonot and a rainy visit to Crescent Island.
Our journey ended in Amboseli, where we stayed at the beautiful Sopa Lodge. All the accommodations were great, and having access to swimming pools at each stop was a lovely bonus. The food throughout the trip was also very good.
But what really made this trip special was seeing the animals. Francis with his experience, passion, and knowledge of wildlife were evident every single day. He was always happy to show us the animals, answer our questions, and make sure we didn't miss anything. He also clearly knows the parks and the right people, which meant he knew exactly where to take us to find the animals and get the best possible pictures.
We were incredibly lucky with the wildlife we got to see, and we owe a big part of that to his expertise and dedication.
A huge thank you to Francis and Jocky tours for making this such a memorable adventure. Everything was well organised, the accommodations were excellent, and the safari itself exceeded our expectations.
If you're planning a safari in Kenya, we can wholeheartedly recommend this experience and, especially, Francis as your guide. Five stars without a doubt! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Perfect!!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience! The service was absolutely outstanding, and every moment was simply unforgettable. I was lucky enough to see all of the Big Five and witness some truly breathtaking moments along the way.
I’ll definitely be coming back in a few years, and there’s no doubt I’ll be booking with the same company again!Thank you so much for making this experience so special. It was truly a trip of a lifetime! ❤️
I would like to add to my feedback a thank you to the tour guide Papa Jhons, who was very patient and professional in the 6 days who accompanied my safari. Thank you for helping me with the forgotten backpack 😂😂 You were amazing!

Great in unexpected ways
I found Jocky Tours through a suggestion by ChatGPT, and then checked reviews and offers through the Safari Bookings website. I got a response super fast from David, whom I coordinated with for the rest of the planning process. David was super fast with his responses and as accommodating as he could be with requests, giving me all the reassurance I needed before making the booking. I also compared Jocky’s offer against 6 other companies, ranging from mid-budget to luxury options, and Jocky’s 6 day Masai Mara-Nakuru-Amboseli trip came out on top in terms of overall value for money.
Pros for me were that:
- We had the same driver/guide and group of travellers throughout, which most safari companies don’t offer (or at least didn’t offer to me).
- We picked the mid-budget option, within which David allowed me to choose Mara Wild Nest, Hill Court Hotel in Nakuru, and Amboseli Mountain View for accommodations. And out of all our co-travellers, we had the best stay experience.
- Our guide and driver Alex Jenga was super kind and informative. He’s a bit blind or his glasses probably need a higher power so he often doesn’t spot animals easily, but that wasn’t a problem for us as he stopped whenever we saw something and always tried to get as close to animals as possible (without disturbing them or doing anything illegal). Alex was also super empathetic and helpful in general whenever anyone had any issues or concerns, including dropping my partner and I off at a different city on the way back to Nairobi because we had a last minute change in plans, and helping us get local bus tickets as he knows the language and could pay with m-pesa.
- No other agency could beat the price offered by Jocky, even with the same lodgings, itinerary, and vehicle.
Cons:
- The Land Cruiser itself wasn’t super comfortable. The seats are slightly inclined so after 6 days of constantly being in the car, my lower back hurt. The same applied to my partner and all co-travellers. However I expect this to be the same case for other similar agencies as well. Just something to be aware of.

Great experience with Papa Johns
We had a great safari with Papa Johns - we saw all Big 5, so many animal cubs and took our time to see everything we wanted and take photos.
He helped the group deal with admin and sort everything out.
Thank you!
