Excellent experience with Jocky Tours and Safari
We had three amazing days on the 3 day safari with Jocky Tours and Safari. The planning went very smooth, the costumer service replied to our inquires very quickly and made sure every needs were met. I am gluten free and they easily made sure I got gluten free meals. The ride back and forth from Nairobi also went very smoothly and our guide Jimmy was amazing. The whole trip was very predictable and without unpleasant surprises. Jimmy was a very nice man, made sure that we had enough water all the time, and provided us with a lot of knowledge about Masai Mara and different animals. When it comes to the safari itself, it was outstanding. We got to see almost five out of the big five close. Incredible! Even though a bit more expensive, I can recommend choosing the Jeep because you will have more space and it could be quite tight in the car. On the last day we got to visit the Masai village which was also a very good experience. During our visit, we learned about Masai culture, how they live and nursing themselves. Remember to bring cash / m-pesa because they expect you to buy souvenirs.
All in all, the whole experience was amazing and it is incredible that it was so cheap (food, water, accommodation, transport, and safari included). Definitely worth every penny we spent. You can expect to experience everything that is written in the description. I will definitely come back if I get the opportunity!

Overall superb experience
Great value for money and excellent service throughout. Efficient communication pre-arrival. Picked up at the airport (our preference) and driven to HQ in Nairobi for check-in and then straight to Masai Mara. We went on an evening safari the first day and a full day safari on the second day. Finished up the trip with a visit to the Masai Village (would recommend) on day 3. Got dropped off at the hotel in Nairobi. Jimmy was a great guide throughout the trip. Very friendly and accommodating, and definitely well acquainted with the Masai Mara area. We were lucky to have him. Selective safari highlights include cheetah, a dozen lions (and cubs), elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, etc. The car accommodated eight tourists. The car is spacious, but you should be prepared to get acquainted with your fellow travelers as you squeeze in together for many hours. We were thrilled with our experience - highly recommend the visit!

Outstanding experience for the budget & Isaac was a great guide!
Jocky Tours and Safaris provided an outstanding safari itinerary for 6 days and included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli. While we felt similarly to our fellow travelers in that there are so many operators with the same offerings, it ended up being a sort of shot in the dark choice. But, if you choose Jocky you won’t be disappointed.
Minneh & Anubi (owners) run the operations smoothly and are very communicative and prompt to respond. We chose the budget friendly option all with private rooms and bathrooms with stays at Lenchada Tourist Camp (Masai Mara), Buraha Zenoni Hotel (Lake Nakuru) & AA Lodge (Amboseli). The rooms were all sufficient and we were basically there long enough to sleep… after all, we’re here to be out in the bush watching the wildlife, right? Lenchada provided the least amenities and comforts: electricity only provided at specific short times in morning and evening, no wifi access, no free potable water provided in rooms or during meals, hot water wasn’t turned on, but when asked they made some adjustment outside and it finally worked, meals were just ok & staff wasn’t as friendly as the other accommodations. The remaining stays were much better in aforementioned aspects, though AA Lodge wifi is only in bar & lobby, which was fine. Just don’t come on safari and plan to do much work unless it’s through your cell service.
We saw many exciting & unforgettable moments in Masai Mara both days we were there and between it and Lake Nakuru we saw 4 of the Big 5–darn the evasive leopard! The Jocky operators communicate with radios to share live where to drive so everyone can witness those exciting moments.
Our guide, Isaac, was patient, knowledgeable, flexible, and a good manager of the experience. We couldn’t have asked for more.
Instead of one pre-morning, early game drive we were all taken to the Masai Mara Village, which was supposed to be optional, but we were not charged any additional money & happily purchased a small item to add to the community fund, which is shared among everyone. Wasn’t a problem, as we wanted to go and were happy we did and recommend anyone to do so to gain a glimpse into the lives of the local Maasai, upon whose lands we have the benefit of enjoying these safaris.
We were the only couple of our original group of 6 who chose to go to Amboseli, primarily to see Mount Kilimanjaro and hoped it would provide a magnificent backdrop for our wildlife photos in the park. While we caught great photos of it early in the morning the day of our departure, it was covered in clouds the day of our safari. While we were lucky to spot a couple of lions & giraffes, this park was mostly about the plentiful elephants, hippos, bird life, & antelope among the marshlands and dry areas. We’re happy to have seen Kilimanjaro, but if that’s not your thing or you don’t want to chance the weather obscuring the view, you could also opt out of this park in your itinerary…it is quite a long drive!
