Got quick replies. Could texted by WhatsApp. Guide was friendly. Office wasn‘t eas to find.
Paied USD 720.00 for 6 days (landcruiser) with the budget version. Visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Very long distances between. Also very bumpy roads. Guide (Jimmy) was friendly and helpful. But didn‘t introduce himself. Als didn‘t tell us about nice facts (countries, nationalparks,). Didn‘t ask about our wishes (animals) which we want to see. Because it was a budget trip we got simple lunch boxes. Accommodations were better than expected (AA lodget, hotel in lake nakuru and Maasai mara). It was sad that we didn‘t start in Amboseli very early with the game drive. We started at 8:30 (too late for seeing wild cats). Was sad that we didn‘t stay a long time at the place where the lions were. Saw 4 of 5 big fives. The driver/guide could be more interessted in us (aks questions of us). On the last day we finished 30 minutes earlier compared to another groupe. Afterwards we waited 30 minutes at the AA lodge in Amboseli there. I was happy that we could catch the train in Mombasa (3pm).

More than I expected
The overall experience was great, I was lucky to see the big five. The suggestions of places to visit was really helpful, the rides were excuisit and the drivers were always on time, explaining every single creature in details. I feel more knowledgeable about the wild than I was when I first visited.
Would I use jocky tours again? You bet I will

Diligent and friendly
Even though we book last minute, they catered to all of our requests and we had a great few days of safari. Yasin was very knowledgeable and always make sure we were enjoying our trip. Our highlight was Lake Nakuru.

Good
We enjoyed a nice tour more than less as described in the description with a good vehicle, good quality of stays and good guide Jimmy.
Awesome trip. Well managed and Johny was first class tour guide
If you want to appreciate the Mara and the wildlife then you must have Johny as your tour guide. He was phenomenal. We saw the big 5, a pride of lions with cubs, a leopard eating, cheetahs and loads more include the dicdic. Johny educated us on the wildlife and the Mara. We have loads of fun. What a fantastic trip. Jocky Tours were great to book through. Very easy and responsive.

Well organized Safari with a lot of fun!
We had an amazing Safari and saw very much animals! The communication was very good and the trip was well organized. Our guide Kikitu was THE BEST! We had so much fun in watching the animals, laughing about his stories and listening to music. He could tell us a lot about the Maasai Mara, the animals and the culture of the Maasai. And he managed to show us so much animals, especially lions. It was a beautiful trip!!!

Good budget safari experience for solo traveller to Masai Mara
I enjoyed a three nite stay at Lenchada camp just outside the Mara. It is basic accommodation with limited electrical power so bring a power bank with you. The food was hearty, and tasty, lots of cooked veggies which I loved. My two guides over the days were Evans and Moses, both were very good. My only complaint was the organization, timing for pickup which I reported to the owner. I will hire Jocky again, as a budget traveller Jocky provided exactly what I am looking for. I am an experienced safari person and have been in a number of budget places and Lenchada was fine. The most important thing to consider is clean, good food and excellent guides. Keep up the good work.

Perfect organization and an incredible guide
We had the most amazing 6 day group safari with Jocky tours and their incredible driver guide Solomon. Everything was organized perfectly and Solomon was the most knowledgeable, helpful and friendly guide we’ve ever had - and we are big wildlife tourism fans and have had a lot of guides over the years. Thanks to him we saw the big five on our second day already and learned lots about Kenya and its culture and wildlife, because he always took the time to explain and point out details even when we were traveling from one park to another and would see something next to the road. We would highly recommend to request Solomon for your tour, he really made our trip unforgettable and went above and beyond. He was often the first guide of many to spot the animals, thereby giving us a great head start with the wildlife before the other cars joined us. Jocky tours was also a fantastic tour provider, they provided great value for money, a good jeep, communicated quickly and even helped us retrieve an item we forgot at Amboseli by delivering it to our hotel in Nairobi - incredible customer service!
