Above and beyond expectations!
I went on Safari with Jocky tours for my 60th birthday and my guides Francis and Jimmy made the experience really special.
Francis was out guide from Nairobi to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. He made sure we were able to see all the animals we wanted to see while in this safari. He was amazing at driving to the best spots in the park and getting to the best angles where we could really see and photograph the animals. He seemed really well liked by the other guides and had a cheeky way to get the best for us. He was also very funny and friendly and made us all feel very happy in the tour. We were sad to leave Francis for our next stop in Amboseli but Jimmy made the transfer very nice and easy.
Jimmy is a very calm presence and was a wonderful guide for Amboseli. He showed us so many families of elephants up close. He really knew where to find them! He was also very unfazed with passenger demands and spent lots of time making sure photographs of birds could be taken.
I had a wonderful trip with Jocky tours and would highly recommend them!

Epic three days in Masai Mara with Gee-Man from Jocky
We had the bets couple of days with Gee-Man as our guide in Masai Mara in July 2026. He expertly brought us to see absolutely all of the wildlife we could have hoped to see, was extremely clued in to where we needed to go for the next sighting and was also happy to answer our questions. Our stay at WildNest was great as well, the food and standard of the rooms were brilliant.

Outstanding guide who went above and beyond to make every game drive unforgettable
We had a fantastic safari with Jocky Tours and Safaris. Our guide Geeman was friendly, knowledgeable and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best experience possible. He worked hard to find the animals we wanted to see and always made an effort to get us the best views while being respectful of the wildlife.
He clearly knew the parks and the other guides very well, so he was always up on where the best sightings were. Thanks to him we saw everything we had hoped to see and more.
He was also full of interesting information about the animals and was happy to tailor each game drive to what we wanted. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would happily recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris to anyone visiting Kenya.

Unforgettable memories
We had a wonderful safari experience with Jocky Tours & Safaris! Our guide, Francis, was very friendly, professional, and experienced. He was incredibly good at spotting animals and always knew where to look, which allowed us to see so many amazing animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, cheetahs, and many more.
We really appreciated his patience, knowledge, and effort throughout the trip. He always tried his best to help us get a good view of the animals and made the whole safari experience enjoyable and memorable.
Thanks to Francis, we had an unforgettable experience and made so many amazing memories in Kenya. Highly recommended!

Fantastic
a two-hour afternoon safari, which was a fantastic start to the trip. July is a busy season with abundant wildlife and many visitors, but our guide, Francis, took us all around the Masai Mara and made sure we had a thorough and memorable experience.
Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru were also beautiful destinations, and the accommodations throughout the trip were simple, comfortable, and convenient. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Jocky Tours.

Outstanding in every way.
I have just returned from an unforgettable Jocky tour safari and cannot speak more highly of the entire experience.
All of my online communications before coming to Kenya were friendly and the organization was impeccable.
On the day of our tour we were picked up and guided to the safari truck that would be our base for the next few days and introduced to our first guide, Francis. From the beginning he was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for the long journey to Masai Mara. We checked into our tented camp, Sankale, that was close to the park entrance. Everyone at the camp was friendly and accommodating. The facilities at this rural camp exceeded our expectations. They provided delicious food, comfortable beds, generator power to charge devices and additional comforts like a bar and snack service. They even have constant hot water which isn't a given at remote camps. We felt incredibly safe and really enjoyed the experience. From there we got our first experience in the park. This was an incredible experience. Although the evening game drive was short Francis made sure our minds were truly blown working all his magic to allow us to meet exciting animals including zebra, giraffe, lions and elephants. With the sun setting as we left I was able to capture some really magical shots and couldn't believe my expectations had been so exceeded. I was sure the next day couldn't get better but Francis proved me wrong! He was a man on fire taking us to the best spots and ensuring we got the best views of animals. His 16 years of experience gave us a better experience than anyone else I've spoken to from other tours. Knowing when to drive like a maniac to reach a spot versus waiting patiently to get into the best position is his greatest skill. I couldn't have enjoyed my time in Masai Mara more!
From here we journeyed to Lake Navasha and to allow us the most time in the park and to give us some optional extra time Francis was flexible with the itinerary. In Lake Navasha we saw Rhinos (black and white!) and many Rothchilds giraffes. Here Francis uncanny ability to know what the animals would do next and where they would approach and cross roads was incredible. On our final morning with this group we journeyed to Naivasha and took a boat ride to see crescent island, hippos and many bird species. This was a wonderful experience and we were grateful for the flexibility shown allowing us to do this!
After this we left Francis and continues our journey with Jimmy.
Jimmy was very welcoming to newcomers to his group and was exceedingly accommodating to other group members allowing them to make additional shopping pitstops that were quite inconvenient to him. He worked tirelessly to get us to Amboseli in good time and even when we were rushed he took the time to point out animals en route so we could enjoy the experience. We checked in to our second tented accomodations, mountain view, and this was really very luxurious for the budget classification of the tour. Electricity and hot water 24/7, wifi, bar, beautiful surroundings and a view of Kilimanjaro (when it's not cloudy!). The food was good and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend.
The next morning Jimmy took us on a full day game drive through Amboseli and found herd of the giant elephants for us to see. He was patient and helpful for avid photographers in the group who wanted to perfectly picture the many bird species in Amboseli. His keen eyes and amazing experience helped us see species we definitely would have missed by ourselves!
Our final activity of the tour was an early morning game drive before heading back to Nairobi. Here Jimmy was amazing at finding the best spots with elephants. We got so many up close pictures of multiple family groups and adorable babies! He used his extensive knowledge to guide us and put us in the perfect spot for pictures. When other group members thought they knew better where to take pictures he was kind and explained why we were doing what we were and of course he was right!
Our journey back to Nairobi was very smooth with Jimmy and I cannot commend him more highly for dealing with difficult issues with hotel drop offs!
In all I would recommend Jocky Tours to anyone who wants to go on a safari and when my nieces are old enough to do a safari I'll be returning with this company and would be delighted to stay in all the same accomodations and meet again with the fantastic guides!!

Amazing safari experience with Jocky Tours
I had a great safari experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris. The tour was well organized, and our guide was friendly and helpful throughout the trip. We were lucky enough to see many wild animals, including elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, and many others. It was an unforgettable experience to see these animals in their natural habitat. I really enjoyed the safari and would recommend Jocky Tours to anyone visiting Kenya.
Everything was organized in a very professional way.
We had a very good time with our guide Joshua. He was very friendly and patient with the whole family of five. We had a long trip from Nairobi to Mombasa with game drives at different locations like Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Joshua has great kwowledge of the parks and animals. Also, he always acts in a mindful and respectful way towards nature, which we really appreciate.
