Beautifull trip with the best driver
When I saw all the positive reviews I thought it was unposssible for agency to have so many.
But after my trip I can highly recommend this agency and especially driver Stanley. We spend with Stanley 5 days.
Stanley wanted to show us all the animals on Safari. When other drivers stopped we ran to see cheetahs. We were always the first to see something intresting and we had planty of time to enjoy the views.
Stanley told us so many intresting facts about animals.
Thank you Stanley for your smile and for showing us beautiful animals. We had luck to have you us our driver.
If one day I return to Kenya I choose this agency and the best driver again :).

The Best Safari Experience I Ever Had
Book it now! Our Safari Tour with Brian from Jocky Tours was amazing. I am so glad I booked with them.
The first day we saw lions feasting on an Elon. Zebras and Giraffes grazing all through out the park. We also saw Elephants as well.
The second day was even better. It almost felt like I was in a National Geographic wildlife show. We spotted 4 out of the big 5 on both safari rides. The terrain and ecosystem was just beautiful. This tour was curated so well and I got exactly what I wanted from it.
It's important that I speak on Brian, our guide, services as well. He is someone I would recommend a million times. He made my friend and I feel so comfortable and became a great friend the first day. He's knowledgeable and personable. Took the time to speak to other guides to stay up to date on sightings in the park. There was WiFi available in the car and the jeep had a great sound system. He's really the best guy for the job. Ask for him when booking!

Brian is the best tour operator, ever.
Our safari with Africa Jocky Tours & Safaris was incredible from start to finish. On day one, we watched a pair of lions feasting on a huge eland, such a wild way to kick off the trip. The next morning, we headed out early in Maasai Mara and spotted four of the Big Five: leopard, elephants, lions, and water buffalos. We also saw a cheetah, tons of giraffes, and plenty of other wildlife throughout the day.
The safari vehicle was super comfortable and even had WiFi, which made it easy to share photos and stay connected. Brian was an awesome guide. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and maximized our experience in Masai Mara. I would get excited whenever Brian would announce Surprise, Surprise. It's kind of his thing. It means we are about to see something cool.
I’d 100% recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris, and especially Brian Ondigo, to anyone looking for a smooth, well-organized, and unforgettable safari experience. Thanks again, Brian, for such a memorable trip to Kenya!

Simply the best
Visiting the Masai Mara was an unforgettable experience. The tour took us through a one-of-a-kind environment, with stunning scenery and extraordinary wildlife everywhere.
A big part of this amazing day was thanks to our guide, Brian. His deep knowledge of the animals, their habits, and the best areas to find them made a huge difference. He was professional, engaging, and very reliable.
The tour was well organized and all the information provided beforehand was clear and accurate.
Overall, it was a wonderful journey that we would strongly recommend to anyone.

Everything we could have asked for and more
From the beginning our tour with Papa John has been great, he provided plenty of information before every journey and explained what would be happening day by day so we were well informed.
During the tour he was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and masai people. You can tell he is extremely passionate about the animals and teaching visitors about them, he goes past just explaining the animals and their habitat but also has scientific explanations for why some things occur, we didn't have a question he couldn't answer.
While on the safari John identified a group of lions, he knew before it happened that the male and female was likely to mate and we were lucky to see the 10 seconds of wonder, he also spotted an older larger male nearby and kept close enough for us to get a great view of what would become a fight for dominance, his expertise meant we were truly fortunate to witness both events.
We've felt safe throughout our tour and have had everything we've needed, we would definitely recommend and hopefully work with Papa John and Jocky tours again.

An amacing tour with a lot of wild life.
The tour was well organised. The tour guide Francis did a good job in finding the most animal possible. I never saw Lions and a Ghitta that closed. Francis is a good and safe driver. The accomodation that we choose was basic, but it was clean and the food was very good. We enjoied Massai Mara very much and have o lot of good memorys to take home.

The service was great!!
The whole experience was fantastic. Our tour guide, Francis, was incredible. He got us up close with all the animals and knew everything he was talking about. The variety of animals we saw was amazing, and the photos were even better. The hotel Sopa was very comfortable to stay in and I would definitely recommend it. I would also recommend any tour by Jocky Tours.

Unethical at its best
So, as wildlife conservationist, we wanted to experience our first ever Safari and what better place than the Massai Mara ?
we decided to trust the good reviews this Tour Operator has and booked a 6 days safari through the Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli.
That was a mistake.
I don't know how is it possible that so many people are blindfold about what is going on in Mara but Jocky Tour is definitly part of the problem. I never seen so much unethical behavior to satisfy clients on a game drive. It was not just our guide, it was all of them. Jocky Tour is responsible because it pushes those kind of behavior, to satisfy their clients, to have a cool selfie and when I confronted them about it they had nothing to say anymore. We were next to a lioness with 2 cubs, hiding in bush, the car was at less than 2 METERS away, stressing them, phones ringing, two guides from two different companies talking to each other loudly. It was 50 plus cars in front of a lioness with a kill, she didn't know what to do anymore. 50 plus cars again cercling a scared leopard in a bush to get a photo. Loud engines, people talking loudly, cars trying to get in front of one another for their guests to have a better view, it was pure chaos. When I confronted our guide about it, he told me that he'll try to stay discret and keep a safe distance from the animals. But nontheless, one poor cheetah with 40 plus cars around latter during the day was the nail in the coffin for us. All those tour operators are killing the Mara, one of the last wild jewel of Africa, all that for short term profit and to satisfy clients that think it's a zoo. It changes animal behavior and causing so much damage on the land to have so much vehicules with no regulations!
Studies shows that cheetah to have less cubs in the Mara because of the stress caused by all this. Lionesses loose kills, buffalos can't escape anymore, blocked by army of people and let's not talk about the great migration... There is countless and coutless exemple of thoses abuses.
Also, the program was not followed, as we should have had a full day in the Mara but insead it was cut short ta have the optional visit of a Massai village. Which is also a big joke as it doesn't look authentic at all, it is more of a show for tourists.
PLEASE, if you read this, make sure your tour operator is not some kind of money profit, selfish organisation like Jocky Tour that doesn't think about the environnement and the damage it causes. Make sure they are ethical and that their guides are well trained and aware about animals safety. I understand that everybody doesn't have the money for the private experience which is our case at the moment. But we still left the safari at the end of the first day. Even if we're not getting our money back because we didn't finish it (and I don't mind paying the parc fees), we don't want to be involve and witness something like this EVER again. So save a little more money but make sure you go there to respect the place and enjoyed it for it's true value, to keep it as wild as possible.
