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!

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure – Jocky Tours, You Were Simply Amazing! 🐘🦁🌅
Six days, incredible landscapes, countless wildlife encounters, and memories that will stay with us forever! Our family safari with Jocky Tours was amazing.
From the breathtaking plains of the Masai Mara to Amboseli with its spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, every day brought new adventures. We were lucky enough to see four of the Big Five (the rhino is still on our bucket list!), the Ugly Five, and so so soooo many other incredible animals (including birds).
But what truly made this trip special was our amazing guides, Geeman and Joseph.
They were so much more than drivers. They were passionate, knowledgeable, friendly, and endlessly positive guides who went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. They shared fascinating insights, taught us so much about wildlife and nature, expertly tracked animals, and always did their absolute best to give us the most incredible sightings. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and we felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire journey.
We asked them countless questions and they always had answers and were happy to share their knowledge.
And then came our final day… almost as if Africa had saved the best for last. Watching the sunrise and the moon still hanging in the sky, seeing elephants beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, and spotting a mother elephant with her twins — it was pure magic. A moment we will never forget. ❤️
If you are considering a safari in Kenya, look no further. The wildlife is extraordinary, the scenery is breathtaking, but it is the people who can turn a great trip into an unforgettable experience. Geeman and Joseph did exactly that.
Thank you for six incredible days, a thousand memories, and a little piece of Africa that will stay in our hearts forever. Asante sana! 🇰🇪❤️
