Great Safari tour and wonderful experience!
We had a school group of 3 families; 6 parents and 4 young kids. I'm one of parents and the coordinator handling the tour arrangement. I contacted several Safari tour companies and Jocky Tours is the best from beginning, in terms of timely communication, knowledge and price. The company representative Minneh is very professional and responsive to all my questions. We arrived in Kenya in March for a 6-day tour, from Masai Mara to Amboseli. They picked us up at the airport at midnight, and dropped off on the last night, everything went smoothly, and it was a great Safari tour, seeing all kinds of wild animals and sceneries. Both parents and kids were so happy about the whole experiences and arrangement by the tour company. Our driver/guide Steve is exceptionally good, great knowledge, easy to talk, has sense of humor too.
Although it is a budget tour company, but to our request, they booked luxury and mid-level hotels , and still the best price, tour package, and quality of service.
Overall, this is a great and reliable Safari company. I would use them again, and highly recommend them as well. Thanks!
3 day Masai Mara
We had such a good time on this trip. Even though we paid the lowest price for a safari we could find (and were therefore not expecting the best), we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Everything was included, except for drinks, but since we don't drink much, this didn't bother us. But there is always free coffee, tee and hot cacao.
Our driver/guide was super cool, making sure we would see everything and up close. Since we came during the low season there were very few tourists there, but we got lucky with the weather, which means we had the occasional lion or so to ourselves.

A Wonderful Experience
From the moment we were collected at the airport, everything ran smoothly with Jocky Tours. They brought us straight to the office to pay for our trip. As our tour was not starting until the following day, we had one day/night to explore Nairobi. The company arranged for a taxi to bring us to our hotel and collect us again that evening for dinner. We were brought to Carnivores restaurant which we thoroughly enjoyed. The following morning we met our guide, Martin, for the first time. He was fantastic! We were extremely well looked after and his knowledge of the Masai Mara was incredible. I would highly recommend Jock Tours and in particular I would put in a request for Martin, as I don't think you could ask for a better guide!

This is second time used a Jocky Tours.
Always they pick up me at airport at on time and tour cost is cheap.
At safari, almost driver is kind and friendly, they do best to find a animal.
If you can use this company, you can spend good time in Kenya.

great
Jocky Tours have been great partners for many years now. They know their trade very well, and we communicate very good. We are happy with the knowledge they posess on the savannah. The camp and the food is also very good. The only thing is that some of the drivers drove too fast from Kisumu to the camp. Some of the students didnt feel comfortable with that.
Reply from Jocky Tours and Safaris
Posted on Jan 1, 2015Great to hear your feedback Falk,we are very sorry for the discomfort caused to your group of students by some of our drivers during your recent safari.After following up the matter from our senior driver,we are meant to understand that the fast driving was due to the fact that Kisumu-MasaiMara is quite a long distance hence the need for speed.We however don't condone fast driving,all our company tour vans are now fitted with speed governors.

Realy profesional
I'm working with them since 2008 and I am very satisfied about their services.
All representatives of the company were qualified and responsive.They fulfilled our contract to 100%
Our group was on safari in Kenya and Tanzania, we visited many national parks. We spent for 12 hours in the car, but always enjoyed the sight. We thank the company Jocky Tours and Safaris for that. They always did their best to fulfill our wishes. We could always contact the office and to agree on changes to the safari,If it was necessary.
Left a good impression on safari and communication with people. Thank U

Outstanding Safari, Outstanding Driver/Guide, Outstanding Service
~ I've been on four safaris with Jocky Tours, in August, 2011 and January, 2013 and April, 2014 and August, 2014. All were arranged by Ms. Minneh Wangare with careful attention to detail. Mine's patience and consideration made the entire safari planning process comfortable and efficient. All of the safaris were outstanding, thanks to the skills of guide/driver Anthony Gitau. He knows how to spot animals and makes it possible to take world-class photographs. The Big Five and numerous other species were seen. Jocky Tours provides great service and great safaris. Contact Minneh for details, as she'll help you in every way possible.
