Exceeded expectations!
I’m completely amazed by the service provided and accomodation for the budget option - Sankale camp (good food, amazing staff and the tent was way more than what I expected)!
The driver - Bernard Mwai - was a true king! He went over and above to show us as many animals as he could, as well for the ones we asked for.
Also, we luckily had the opportunity to see a buffalo vs lionesses action, and he got us a pretty amazing angle to watch it!
10/10!!!

It was great experience. Even though I had 3.5 days, Francis ensured we saw everything.
It’s a great safari. Brilliant landscapes and breathtaking animals. We had a great experienced guide Francis who ensured we saw everything. Even a short visit to Kenya is very worth it. Great accomodation and food, simple, healthy and comfortable.

Very professional and kind
Our tour to Amboseli Park with John Walter was an excellent experience. John was warm, professional, and humorous. He looked after our group with great care and attention, and made sure all our requests were met. We would be delighted to travel with him again. Asante John!

Overall an amazing safari experience with a great guide, but company lacked some professionalism
Communication: from the beginning our communication with jockey was sufficient but not perfect. When we would ask questions, only some of them would get answered. Leading to more follow up emails until we just left some unanswered.
Service: when we arrived at the office our transaction was handled smoothly, but we think it helped to have our exact cash payment ready (even though this wasn’t ideal to carry around large amounts of cash). A day into our safari, the office called us to say that some of our currency was “dirty” or “marked” even though it just came from an ATM. They asked that we exchange $200 for different bills at our next stop. Our guide spoke with them, assured them we were nice people and they called back to apologize and say they made a mistake..
Value for money: overall we were happy with our accommodation and value for a private tour with 4x4 Land Cruiser when compared to other companies. Out of several accommodations, our favourite was Manjaro Tented Camp near Amboseli.
Reliability: overall good, but we did show up to one hotel that we were told we would be staying at (the same one our guide was told), only to be notified that they didn’t have room for us and the were told we had to go elsewhere. In the end, not a big deal, but felt unorganized
Tour itself: overall an amazing safari! We did ann 8 day tour tour to Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nukuru, annd Amboseli. Even with some of the shortcomings mentioned above we had an amazing safari experience! Our guide Kaseini was from a local Masai village and navigated the parks extremely well, particularly in the Masai Mara, his local insights and cultural pride made our safari experience special. We saw the big five, and many other animals and birds—everything we were hoping to see and more.

Fantastic Safari with Jocky Tours
I booked this tour from Sweden based on the reviews I saw at SafariBookings. I booked the tour 3 night / 4 days. We visited Masai Mara, Lake Navashu and Lake Nakura national park.
I must say that everything worked perfectly from pick up at hotel in Narobi until drop off at the same place. Our guide / driver was David with 18 years of experience from Masai Mara. His guiding and driving was absolutely world class. He knew his way around Masai Mara like no other. Thanks a lot. I can only give my best recs !!

Perfect experience
After doing lot of research and enquiry I had decided to go with Jocky for our budget 6 day safari. They provided best rate among 5 other operators I had contacted.
The experience had been perfect. Props to our tour guide cum driver. He was very experienced and didn't leave any stone untouched to give us perfect African safari experience. We were lucky to see almost all big animals up close except Leopard.
I'd definitely recommend Jocky for your tour.
