Leonard is super professional, super nice, and very patient. Made out safari so fun and enjoyable.
Definitely recommend Jocky tours for safari trips. We got very lucky with our guide: Leonard. He is super professional and super nice. He was very patient with us and worked to accommodate all our needs. He drove tirelessly all day long in Masai Mara so that we catch a lion pride in action and also another cheetah couple, and he didn’t stop until we finally caught them and got to enjoy what we came for. We were all so happy and appreciative for his dedication. He made my safari dream come true.
Information provided was clear, they did exactly what they said they will do, the guide was superb.
A fantastic time. Unlike other companies, clear information was provided. Picked up on time. We had a break at the Rift Vally which is a beautiful spot. We had a decent lunch half way and arrived at the camp around 2pm. After a 2 hours break, we went out for an evening game drive. We then had dinner which was very nice. The next morning we were out all day in the park. We managed to see 4 of the big 5. Our guide Richard was fantastic. He knew where the animals were and was very good at spotting them. He is knowledgeable and explained about the character of the animals that we were seeing well. He made extra effort to make our trip enjoyable. On our last day, we visited a Masaai Mara village which was wonderful. We joined in their welcoming dance. Overall the trip was wonderful. The food provided was great. The camp staff are wonderful and made our stay pleasant. Lunch is provided in the first and last day. Packed lunch was available during the second day.
visited a Masaai Mara village which was wonderful. We joined in their welcoming dance.
Advise to future travellers: generator is used for power and it is turned off at 10pm. Power is also turned on at 5.30am or so and turned off at 7pm. Sockets are located in the dining area only. Charge your phones and have your shower well in advance before power is turned off.

Best 4 days in Kenya
It was a great experience with Leonard. I highly recommend going on this safari and especially if you will be able to join him, as he is a kind, experienced and very skilled safari tour guide. Thank you Jocky Tours and Leonard!!

Perfect
Thanks a lot to Richard from Jocky Tours for amazing experience being a part of Masai Mara and its wildlife we enjoyed 100%. We saw the national park in all its beauty, but also we got a lot of interesting information about animals, culture and country. Richard was not only a professional guide, but also a first-class driver. Thank you very much for unforgotable emotions!

Safari Tour with Albert
I had a great time doing the safari with Jocky Tours. Albert, our guide, was really nice and took good care of us driving around and seeing all the animals. I would highly recommend this tour, especially our guide Albert. There is just one thing which was a negative experience with this tour operator and that I would advise you to take care of: the boss of this company (or who I believe is the boss), Minneh, made us pay more because we wanted to pay in Kenyan Schilling. Be careful with this, nobody ever advised us before that we would need to pay more if we pay in the countries actual currency. Apart from that, the safari was a great experience.

Richard took the tour to the next level. So knowledgeable, authentic and friendly!
Everything was top notch. The booking process was easy. The accommodation at Lenchada camps surpassed my expectations. Maasai folks are great people, so sweet. The kids love candy so bring some if you can. Also if you have space in your bags, bring some clothing you no longer want, they ll appreciate it. Highly recommend our guide Richard, the man is a legend. He made my time there so much fun! and learned a lot, Rich is an animal kingdom encyclopedia.

EXECELLENTE
We are completely glad we chose Jocky tours, they are professional, reasonable cost and fun to be with. We saw lions (a whole bunch of them), cheetah, giraffes, elephants and many more daily. Our guide Evans was easy going, chill, handled all our silly requests when touring, stopped for us to take as many pictures as we can and knew the best spots to see the animals.All other tour guides were getting their car stuck on account of the rain but we were the cool kids thanks to him) So if you are reading this and you choose jocky tours, ask for Evans as your guide. We also took the hot air balloon ride with them and it ran smoothly and amazing in general. The accommodation was better than expected even though we had taken the most basic package. At the end of the trip, we did not want to leave( really enjoyed my time with my family seeing Kenya. I heavily recommend jocky tours company and their packages even if you take the joining tours package, it will be so well organized with the other tourists that you wouldn't feel as if it is. Thanks again guys we will do it again)

Very wonderful. Both simon and especially Robert where amazing
Communication was great and the guides went above and beyond. Robert was extremely professional with a great understanding of the English language and made the trip a breeze. I cannot speak highly enough of Robert. His expertise and general knowledge of Kenya, animals, sports and all other areas was amazing.

The best experience in Africa
My experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris was great. From the beginning to the end. I arrived in Kenya on Monday 3rd morning and I did not have much time to be in the country, all I knew was that I wanted to do a 4-day Safari and could not waste time. I researched on the Internet and got the number of one of the organizers of this company (Alex). I wrote very late the day of my arrival and wanted to book to start the next day (Tuesday). Alex told me that he did have available space and that they would pick me up at 7:30 am. They were very punctual. On the way to Masai Mara our transport had a mechanical damage, we had to wait a couple of hours but they sent a new vehicle in the indicated time. Our guide, Richard, was always aware of us and did everything possible to visualize wildlife. The accommodation, the food and the schedules of the game drives were as indicated in the description that was sent to me and filled my expectations. I thank Jocky Tours and Safari and especially Richard for making my experience in Kenya fascinating and unforgettable.
