Very good service
Good, reliable company. Our safari driver was Albert, very knowledgeable and punctual driver. We stayed in Jambo Mara safari lodge. Rooms were clean with hot water. The only wifi that worked was in the restaurant, which only worked when it wasn't busy.

Great trip with a guide who new where to go in Masai Mara
We had a great trip with the guide James. He had knowledge of where to go and what to see. He could have given a little more detailed information while we were drivning in the park.
But a great guide and we highly recommend him.
We did a late request for a safari and we got a quick response. Only information we did not get was to not pay full amount via M-Pesa, the company made us pay 26 usd extra as a M-Pesa fee.

Solid safari, knowledgable guides, good experience
I had a good 4-day safari with Jocky Tours that I booked last minute. Our knowledgeable guides Joshua and Alfred were friendly, reliable and very good at spotting and explaining the wildlife in beautiful Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru NPs. I was impressed by how much wildlife you can see within such a short time. Joshua motivated me to do the scheduled game drive on the morning of the third day, even though all other group members had opted to do something else. I was somewhat irritated, however, that I paid 700 USD whereas another group paid only 400 USD per person. I had much better accommodation during the first two nights and a better vehicle, but both still cannot explain the huge price difference. Also, I hope that the driver guides will switch off their engines in the future instead of idling them during breaks – climate change is a concern especially also for their business. I couldn’t find any evidence that this damages the spark plugs, even for safari vehicles.

Good safari and better guide
The safari and accommodation was very nice. Food was the same every day.
We were very lucky with our guide. James is very passionate about nature. He will make an effort to give you the best experience.

Good value for money
I had a very good experience. The camp was nice food was good. I liked the guide James, he made a lot off efforts so we could see all the animals. Also to go to nakuru, which was great. I would recommend the tour to very one.

Good organized all-inclusive safari to the Maasai Mara!
We had contact by email and phone. Both worked quickly and were informative. We booked a budget private tour and were glad with our choice! The whole Toyota Land cruiser for ourselves was pretty nice and worth the additional money.
Jack was a great driver and good tour guide. Especially inside the park; he knew the animals, gave informative facts & background and he tried his upmost best to find the wildlife! We felt save on the slippery tracks and comfortable at times to look at the animals and taking pictures.
Due to COVID-19; Jack was wearing his mask correctly and consequently at all times and there were a lot of places where you could wash your hands.
The accomodation was fine, don't expect too much however, it's sober. Bed and bathroom were clean. Kitchen and security staff at Lenchata camp were friendly and supportive. The programm was in line with the proposed itinerary and lived for sure up to our expectations.

In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best.
Masai Mara review
We had taken the Masai Mara trip with Jocky Tours. In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best. We recommend a Matatu over the Landcruiser as it's cheaper and nearly same experience.
The communication over email and phone was perfect.
A longer feedback follows. They picked us up promptly from our place. We had a good drive with Simon to Masai Mara. The road is not very good but Simon was a skilled driver. The lenchada camp site was very good and our tent was really comfortable. During the game drives, Simon was very actively coordinating with others to make sure we see as much game as possible and was also very knowledgeable. He told us about the living habits, gestation period and breeding habits of each of the species. They also made us see the sunrise in the national park which was amazing.
The Masai village tour was also fun.
Overall we recommend the tours and ask for Simon as your driver and guide. He is really friendly. We saw a lot of game, great wildlife, good car and an amazing tour.

Albert was a great guide! Very chill, kind, and let us do all the things we wanted!
The tour was overall great! We got to see all the animals we wanted and also got to eat a lot of yummy Kenyan food as well. One thing I do want people to know about the tour though is the car rides are very long and if you get car sick easily this is one thing I would like you to take under consideration. But besides that, it’s great! Thank you for an awesome 4 days!!
