Smooth Operators
Our Safari driver was absolutely amazing. Brian had extensive knowledge of the park. Was a very safe and efficient driver. Always getting pole position for animal sightings. Brian spoke excellent English. Recommend this “Happy go lucky” fella with a huge smile 😊

Great experience.
Brian Ondigo is an excellent tour guide! Great driving skills through the crazy roads. He always took extra care to ensure we had prime time viewing of the animals during our safari. Very punctual and friendly! Would highly recommend!
He was an amazing guide!
We had an amazing experience at the Masai Mara with our guide Brian. He was a great driver and spotter of the animals. He did his best to find the animals and explained something about them all. He asked us what animals we wanted to see and he got the job done! Overal we were just really happy with Brian as our tour guide and we would love to come back again with him as our guide!

Safari tour with Brian Ondigo
I just went on a 3 day safari trip to maasai Mara with Brian Ondigo. I had the most lovely time. Brian picked me up at my place and drove our group. During the whole trip he was a great guide. He was a great driver, making us often the first one to arrive at the most beautiful animals. Thank you Brian!

Excellent Masai trip with Dennis 😍
I took the 5 days tour and it was excellent and got at very reasonable price as well. Special thanks to Mr Dennis for showing us the Masai and Nakuru and Naivasha in the best possible way . Our team was amazing with bunch of nice people 😍👍 I would recommend Jocky Tours for your trip to Kenya .

Your satisfaction is their purpose and delight
I think I must have been the most troublesome customer that Jocky Tours have had in a long time - I was certainly giving myself a pain in the neck - but the staff were brilliant in every respect. They were patient, efficient, helpful and creative in their problem solving. Maureen, my booking agent seemed to be always available, accommodating and good humoured. Francis, my tour guide, was a genius at managing time and, it seemed, animals. We could not have had better wildlife viewing. He was upbeat or laid back as required, and knowledgeable. At the end of the tour David was prompt to seamlessly accommodate my last problems. I cannot recommend Jocky Tours and their staff enough. Thank you everyone for a fabulous tour.

Exceeded Expectations
I cannot recommend jocky tours and specifically our tour guide James Gichina. From start to finish everything was organized for us and the value for the money was stupendous. Our accommodations were clean and functional and super kind staff. But our highlight was our tour guide James. He got us super close to every animal we saw knowing how to approach to make us feel comfortable and as if we were with them in the wild. We was knowledgeable, kind, and most importantly helped us see way more animals than I was expecting! Booking jocky tours was definitely a right move. And if you can, ask for James. You won’t regret it.

We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience – everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish with jocky tours and francis
From the very beginning, Jocky tours made the whole planning process incredibly easy. They helped us choose the perfect itinerary and was always available to assist us with everything we needed, from arranging our hotel pick up to assigning us an experienced English -speaking guide. His professionalism and kindness made us feel well taken care of even before our adventure began.
Our safari started in masai Mara National reserve , and right from the first day we were amazed. We saw so many animals, including a beautiful cheetah trying to hunt and with the sunset. It was an unforgettable sight!
On the second day we were lucky enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including the famous wildebeest migration and the crossing of the Mara river . It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The third and fourth day We were lucky enough to see countless lions, leopards, cheetahs, and many other incredible animals, including some very rare species. Every game drive was full of surprises and unforgettable moments.
The accommodations in all the parks were simple but very nice , in Masai Mara we stayed at Lenchada camp, the staffs were very friendly and accommodating , the food was also simple but delicious, in lake Nakuru we stayed at Buraha zenoni resort, it was sooo nice , good showers , clean beautiful rooms , very good variety of food and professional staffs, the last accommodation is Mountain View camp in Amboseli , very beautiful camp near mt Kilimanjaro with clean beautiful tents , tasty food and very good staffs.
A very special thank you goes to our amazing guide Francis , who made this journey the most incredible experience of our lives.
Francis ,thanks to his excellent English , explained so much about Kenya , its wildlife, and its fascinating culture. We learned about the traditions of the Maasai and other local tribes, making the safari not only exciting but also deeply enriching.
Francis was an outstanding driver with exceptional knowledge of the parks. Thanks to his experience, patience, and incredible tracking skills, we were able to find not only all of the Big Five but also many rare animals. He always knew exactly where to go, even in the most challenging situations.
Thank you once again to the entire Jocky tours team for giving us memories that will stay with us forever. This was, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives, and when we come back to kenya we will definitely choose Jocky tours and Francis again.
Highly recommended!

A trip I will never forget with jocky and francis
We recently went on a safari and chose Jocky tours and travels after reading consistently excellent reviews across multiple platforms, including SafariBookings, Google, and TripAdvisor. With so many local operators available, the choice can feel overwhelming, but from our very first inquiry, jocky tours stood out. They were incredibly responsive, professional, and informative throughout the entire planning process. They helped us put together a fantastic itinerary, answered all of our questions promptly, and stayed in touch until the day we arrived. It was also a pleasure meeting them in the office . Thank you so much Jocky for making everything so smooth and stress-free.
For our safari, we were paired with Francis as our guide, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Francis was absolutely outstanding. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about wildlife and conservation. From the moment we started our journey, he made sure we were comfortable, informed, and enjoying every moment.
Francis had an incredible eye for spotting animals and seemed to find wildlife that many others would have easily missed. He took the time to explain animal behavior, ecosystems, and local culture, which added so much depth to the experience. His expertise, patience, and enthusiasm made every game drive exciting and educational.
One particularly memorable moment was when Francis imitated the calls of a baby wildebeest. A nearby family of spotted hyenas immediately heard the sounds, got up from where they were resting, and started walking toward us looking genuinely confused, as if they were trying to figure out where the lost wildebeest calf was. Watching them approach with that “wait… who called?” expression was both fascinating and hilarious, and a perfect example of how knowledgeable and entertaining francis was throughout the trip.
He also made sure we had plenty of opportunities for amazing photos and always positioned the vehicle thoughtfully so we could get the best possible views. He is a professional photographer and he knows how to position the jeep for perfect shots. Thanks to him, we saw everything we had hoped for and much more.
Beyond being an exceptional guide, Francis is a genuinely kind and warm person. By the end of the trip, we felt more like a friend than just a guide. We will always remember the wonderful experiences and memories he helped create.
Thank you, Francis , and thank you, Jocky tours , for an unforgettable safari. We had an incredible time and truly appreciate everything you did for us. 🙏🙏

knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly efficient at spotting wildlife.
We did the 3-night, 4-day safari with Robert, and it was an amazing experience. Robert was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly efficient at spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we were able to see all of the animals we hoped for.
He also kept the atmosphere fun with his great sense of humor and plenty of jokes, making every day enjoyable. His passion and experience really made a difference and turned the safari into an unforgettable adventure.
We had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend this safari, especially with Robert as your guide!
