The best driver in the Mara, James Gichina
James was the best driver we could’ve had. Was very friendly and kind!
We turned up for a 3 hour game drive and managed to see so much. The best driver in Masai Mara by far!

Tour guide Dennis Hinga saved our experience
It was a dream come true for us. We got Dennis Hinga as our tour guide and he was the BEST! He was so nice and humble. Plus he spotted the animals quite efficiently for us and made the vehicle stop at the right spots for the best view! But the communication from Jocky could have been better. Thank you for this wonderful experience!!

Excellent!
Our guide Dennis 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.

A professional, well-organised safari operator that goes above and beyond every step of the way
Our group did the 7 day safari with Jocky Tours, and it was truly a life changing experience.
Everything was organised so well from start to finish. Minneh was incredibly helpful during the booking process and patiently answered all my questions. We honestly couldn’t believe we got to experience such an incredible safari at such a reasonable price.
Our guide, John Walter, also known as “John of the Jungle,” was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable about the different species of animals and birds across all the parks and was always happy to answer our endless questions. You could genuinely see how much he loves the animals and what he does. He was also hilarious and always knew how to lighten the mood and keep the group entertained. If you get Walter as your guide, you can be guaranteed that you’re in good hands!
I even had a little checklist scrapbook where I was ticking off all the animals and birds we spotted, and Walter helped me identify every species along the way. He was incredibly patient and attentive to all our needs, making sure we got the best photos from every possible angle! He was always punctual and made sure the jeep was clean and ready for us every day. Walter is truly an asset to Jocky Tours.
Another highlight of the experience was the freshly prepared meals at each stop. We really enjoyed having clean, authentic Kenyan food throughout the safari. The staff at every accommodation were also incredibly helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. And the views at Amboseli Mountain View Camp were simply surreal absolutely stunning!
Jocky Tours exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you so much for creating such an incredible experience and a core memory that we’ll treasure for a lifetime!

The best part of our trip was our driver David
Due to being scammed by another safari operator, I had to choose Jocky Tours just one day before our departure. Looking back, I can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions we made.
From the beginning, Jocky Tours was responsible and professional, and everything went smoothly.
But the biggest highlight was definitely our driver, David. He is an absolutely wonderful person — patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and very responsible. He explained everything to us clearly and was always happy to answer all our questions. Most importantly, we always felt safe with him, both on the road and during the safari.
David really made the experience much more enjoyable. We came to Kenya mainly for the safari, but meeting such a great person was an unexpected and very special part of our trip.
Thank you Jocky Tours, and especially thank you David, for giving us such a memorable experience. We would definitely recommend Jocky Tours to other travelers!

Don’t miss it!
We just finished a fantastic trip with Jocky Tours and Safaris and give them a well-deserved five stars. The company is highly reliable and provides a top-tier experience from start to finish. We were especially fortunate to have Isac as our guide. He is exceptionally professional, and his expertise really shines through in how he navigates the parks and tracks the animals. On top of his skills, Isac is just a genuinely kind and welcoming person. He worked tirelessly to ensure our trip was flawless and that we did not miss a thing. Thank you to Jocky Tours and a massive thank you to Isac for the trip of a lifetime!

Had a wonderful Safari time
Our time with Jocky Tours and Safaris was absolutely unforgettable, and I cannot recommend this company highly enough. From the initial logistics to the daily game drives, everything was executed perfectly. The absolute standout part of our adventure, however, was our guide, Isac. He is a true expert in these tours, and his deep knowledge of the wildlife and the terrain is unmatched. Beyond his clear professionalism, Isac is an incredibly nice person who went above and beyond every single day to make sure we had the absolute best experience possible. If you book with Jocky Tours, you are in great hands—especially if you are lucky enough to have Isac leading your safari.

Exceptional safari, great guide
My husband and I did 2 nights in Samburu, 1 night in Nakuru, and 3 nights in Masai Mara, and it was a memorable experience.
Our guide was John, and he played an important role in making the trip exceptional. John is knowledgeable, knows the parks and wildlife well, is a great spotter, and an excellent driver.
At Samburu, we saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, and most of Samburu’s Special Five. Only because of his judgment did we have a great sighting of a cheetah at Samburu. At Nakuru, we saw a pride of lions feeding, black and white rhinos, and many birds. At Masai Mara, we saw countless lions (more than 20 every day), cheetahs, leopards feeding, lions feeding, and lions with small cubs. And to top it all, we even saw a river crossing at Sand River, again because of John’s judgment. He never rushed us at any sighting and never got tired of showing us animals, even when it was a long day of driving for him.
He was very pleasant and informative, and he was friends with most of the other guides, which helped with sightings. Above all, he was very kind to everyone around him, both animals and humans.
We stayed at Sopa lodges at Samburu and Nakuru, both were excellent, at Masai Mara we stayed at Jambo mara, rooms were good but food was not.
Moses from Jockey helped us in planning, email replies were quick. Only thing to note is that Jocky charges extra for card payments, clarify this. They gave us best deal.
