Excellent experience in Masai Mara National Park
Unforgettable experience thanks to Solomon, our amazing tour guide. We were a group of eight people and he made everything it was possible to make the most out of our journey.
Solomon is super kind and an experienced guide. He always knew the best spots in the national park and we got to see many different animals. 100% recommended! Thank you very much!

Unforgettable experience with the best guide and the best driver
My family and I went on a 9 day trip with our german speaking guide Victor and our english speaking driver Ecky.
We had an amazing time and it felt very family like. Together we got to make memories, had a lot of laughs and good conversations.
Both of them shared their wide knowledge about nature and animals with us and also about their culture and way of living.
Problems with the car, food, and plans were solved quickly and without us even noticing.
We had an amazing time thanks to the both of them. We will never forget the memories we made together.

Jimmy is amazing, he taught us so much, made us feel safe at all times and gave the best experience
We had the most amazing time with our tour guide Jimmy. His knowledge of the parks and the animals was unmatched, we learnt so much from him over the 2 days and I couldn’t recommend him any more. Considering we spent the best part of 2 days in the jeep it was comfortable and clean. The food provided throughout the time was really good and that’s coming from a fussy eater. Accommodation was spotless and fit the vibe of a safari lodge so well. As a group of 4 we all had the most unforgettable trip and we can’t thank you all enough for creating it for us.

Magical Amboseli
Joshua went above and beyond to show us animals and nature in Amboseli national park. He is super knowledgeable and loves sharing background information for all animals encounterd. Joshua is an excellent driver, patient and considerate of his guests and a fantastic animal spotted. He has spotted herds of elephants moving to the water early so we had 1:1 encounters from up close bringing us in the best viewing position . Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful safari with this travel agency ! Everything was well organized, and our guide Dickson was amazing. He was patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and worked very hard to help us find the animals. I really enjoyed this trip and will definitely recommend this guy to my friends. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience!

Don't Hesitate to Book with Jocky Tours & Safari and Ask for Francis!
We just got back from an incredible safari with Jocky Tours, and a huge part of what made it so special was our driver/guide, Francis. I can't recommend him highly enough.
From the very start, Francis was professional and considerate — he was only a few minutes later than our agreed pickup time and was genuinely apologetic about it, even though we hadn't been waiting long at all. That set the tone for the whole trip. He's friendly, personable, and just easy to like. Each morning he clearly laid out the day's itinerary and what to expect, and in the jeep he did a fantastic job getting our whole group (this was a group tour) chatting and bonding with each other.
A quick note on the driving: Francis drives fast and can be a little aggressive behind the wheel, but this seems to be pretty standard for Nairobi traffic, and he never once made us feel unsafe. He was also great about logistics — planning in regular stops for washroom breaks, snacks, and ATM access, and always being clear about exactly when we'd be back on the road.
Francis's knowledge was a huge highlight. He pointed out interesting facts about the places we passed through and happily answered every question we threw at him, no matter how random, never once seeming annoyed. On our second day, he suggested adjusting our schedule to start earlier so we could try to catch predators out hunting — it was a brilliant call. We ended up seeing the Big Five, plus a cheetah, and it was clear that Francis's experience (he told us he's got almost 16 years under his belt), his radio communication with other guides, and his own sharp instincts made all the difference. He also seems very well respected by the other rangers and drivers — we kept finding ourselves near the front of the queue to see the lions, the leopard, and the cheetah, which says a lot about how well-liked and trusted he is among his peers.
One moment that really stood out: on day three, some of us went up in a hot air balloon and ended up returning to the group later than planned (we got a bit carried away watching more animals on the drive back — honestly, our fault, since we'd been warned we were running late while queuing to see another leopard). Francis didn't show a hint of irritation toward us about it, even though I suspect he had some words for the drivers who were supposed to get us back on time. It said a lot about his professionalism and his ability to just roll with things and make them work.
Even on the last day, when our group split — some heading to Amboseli, others of us finishing up — Francis made sure a driver was arranged to take us to our hotels at no extra charge (we tipped that driver ourselves), and he personally introduced us to make sure we felt taken care of.
All in all, Francis made this trip informative, fun, and genuinely memorable, and I'd seek him out by name for any future safari in Kenya.
As for Jocky Tours more broadly: communication throughout the booking process was excellent — responsive to emails, clear on costs, accommodation options, and the itinerary. Payment in person at the office was quick and easy, and my credit card was accepted without issue (just note there's a surcharge for card payments, while cash has none). If the rest of their guides are anywhere near Francis's level, you really can't go wrong booking with them.
Tim was very experienced and allowed us to see all the Big 5 animals.
Tim is an extremely experienced driver amongst the Masai Mara Park (20+ years of experience). He helped us find animals such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. His english is very good and there were no communication problems. He was also very patient and got the best view for each animals, allowing us to get some amazing photos. Tim also brings the luck because seeing leopards isn’t very common.
