Great experience with Jocky Tours at Masai Mara
We had great experience while we were visiting Masai Mara and Nakuru. Guides were helpful, communicative, tried to show as many animals as possible. The lodge had comfortable bed and hot water. The food was tasty. We highly recommend this company as they have done everything as they promised.

7-days individual tour. Rating 4,5.
We took an individual tour for the family.
Preparation of the tour - an assessment of 4 out of 5. Our consultant Minneh was really flexibile and adaptabile to our requests. Not only the trip plan was individual, but also the selection of hotels and camps took into account my wishes found on the booking sites. As a result, we got a good price for the tour with good quality - thanks Minneh and Jocky Tours. The disadvantage was revealed during the trip, when it turned out that 2 rooms for 3 people had been booked in one place, and we used only 1 room, which allowed placing 3 people. It was possible to save us some money. But as a whole I'm satisfied with Jocky Tours.
Evaluation of the tour and guide/driver is 5 out of 5. Accommodation, meals, transfers were organized very well. Driver Kikitu - friendly, incredibly positive, sociable and pleasant person. With him we felt comfortable and calm. His diligence and activity enabled us to see almost all the animals we wanted. Thank you very much, Kikitu!

Amazing safari for an unbeatable price
We booked spontaneously a 3-day safari to Masai Mara with Jocky Tours. Everything worked out as planned, our guide Jack answered all our questions and did everything to give us an unforgettable experience. The camp we stayed in was excellent and the food very delicious. We had an awesome trip !

A trip to remember, a country to come back.
First, the information and attention we were provided with by Minneh were so detailed and helpful. Her answer was quick, clear and the expectations we were created were completely satisfied.
What to say about the tour... we couldn't have met a better driver! James was all the time thinking about how to take advantge of every single moment. James was a caring and expert driver who made us feel safe all the time and enjoying the vest views ever, as he was fighting the best spots in very respectful manners. We are so thankful for the 10 days safary we booked with Jocky Tours.

Excellent Budget Safari
Everything was according to description. The camps and hotels were spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable and equipped with moskitonet. Breakfast and dinner were always good. Food is for most part according to Kenyan standards, dinner and lunch: rice, local spinach type, chiapati, chicken, beef, peas, carrots, beans, breakfast: toast, jam, eggs, sausages, fruits, tea, juices. Lunches on the way sated, don't expect too much. Our drivers were informative and cared for our needs and whishes. The game drives were obviously an excitement. Lot's of animals, including lions, cheetas, rhinos and more. Be aware, that a game drive is not Disney Land. We met other groups, which expected a theater performance. Obviously, that is a stupidity and would totaly destroy the natural experience, in my opinion. My advise, bring good binoculars. If you are keen on pictures, bring a wide range tele lens. Roads in the NPs are very rough, which makes handling of a heavy camera difficult at times, thus don't miss out on bringing a light and small compact camera as well. Payment of the safari was a hastle, but that was not Jocky's fault. Surprisingly, my credit card did not work in Kenya. Thus bring the money cash or have your credit card unlocked for Kenya before departure. Jocky's stuff was in fact very helpful in order to resolve the problem. For a budget safari, excellent value for money. We were very satisfied and had a lot of fun.

5-Day Masai Mara-Nakuru-Naivasha-Joining Group Budget
We had a great experience, even beyond our expectation. Pros were the price, definitely the best value for money of any tour operators; the stays were great, especially at Nakuro. Food generally good, ok at the camp and fair enough along the way. Thanks to our driver, Raymond, we have seen all the animals in the parks, cheetas and rhinos included, even a leopard! Cons, just a bit of a confused organization. We didn't understand how the groups were made up, so we needed to travel to many camps to collect the people before entering the park. But that's just a minor, keep in mind you are there to have fun, so take it easy (hakuna matata). Summing up, it was marvelous.

Amazing experience.
We had a wonderful trip. I've lived in Tanzania for 20 years and have done a lot of travelling there, but this was my first time on safari in Kenya. The wildlife was amazing, we saw the big five and tons and tons of lions. The weather wasn't the greatest, but it was still a great trip. Our driver, Richard, was great, and we helped many other people who got stuck in the mud. Food was much better than expected. The tented accommodation was basic, but the other hotels were much better than expected. My only complaint was that we did not have hot water anywhere. They said they had it, but it never worked. We visited Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate. All of them were great in their own way. We paid an extra $5 per person to rent bikes in Hell's Gate, and it was a special experience cycling through a park. The walk through the gorge was also worth it. These were the only things we paid extra for, everything else was included, and the price was extremely fair. The trip was definitely beyond my expectations.

Excellent driver and guide and accommodation very good value for
Have just had an excellent 10 days safariing organised through Jocky. Evans (driver/guide) was fantastic - he drives safely and always managed to get us into wonderful positions for good photos. He managed to find all the animals and he has a great deal of knowledge about the animals (and birds). I will be booking again.
