Awesome experience.
The Safari was awesome. Everything was up to the mark. Only one thing I felt was the last day of the tour ended in just 2 hours. We could have been longer in the park and seen some more wildlife. The first day took us almost full day to reach the destination. We hardly got to see anything on the first day. Second day was the awesomest.
Third was disappointment.

Unforgettable safari experience with Jocky Tours
We went on a 10-day safari in Kenya and we are extremely satisfied with Jocky Tours. We had absolutely no problems starting from the initial emails to Minneh to the drop off at the airport at the end of the trip. Minneh is very friendly and responsive. We never had to wait for more than a day to hear a reply from her. The overall cost of the safari was very reasonable even though we had a customized itinerary. We had our own private safari vehicle and John, our driver cum guide was beyond excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the national parks and the animals and we had a number of excellent sightings of the big five. Our accommodations at Amboseli (Kibo safari camp) was excellent and a nice end to the safari.
If there was one thing that could have been better, it would be the accommodations at Masai Mara and Nakuru. We were in a camp at Masai Mara and in a regular hotel in Nakuru city. Both these places were clean and comfortable but it could have been better. One suggestion to Jocky Tours would be that they should offer the customer the option of staying at slightly more expensive campsites/lodges and then let the customer decide if they want to pay more or not.
But overall the entire experience was wonderful and I would definitely recommend Jocky Tours!
It is a nice safaris with Jocky tours.
The camp security is best beyond the expectations. Everything is safe. Jocky Tours also has a good arrangement on the safaris. We found out many kinds of animals.
Besides when we arrived at camp, the power socket does not work until we left, even though i drived the service manager in the camp, it is not convient.

Very good organization of safari trip and friendly guide
This safari tour was very good. Thanks all employees of Jockytours! No complaints! Interesting trip with many animals and good weather! Our guide driver fulfilled all requests and told us many things about animal world! With the camps and meal we had no problems. Everything was in order! We can say, our safari tour has been well planned.

Good budget safari tour for three days/2 nigths at the Maasai Mara
We had a great time at the Lenchada tented camp managed by Jocky Tours and located close to one of the gates of the Game reserve. The driver (Peter) was nice and made an effort to come up close to the animals (i.e lions and cheetah). It was a very wet Easter weekend (rainy season) so there were many safari vans around and a good number of them got stuck in the mud a couple of times.
Despite all this, we managed to see most of the "big five" and some other herds of animals. Overall, the camp was good. We paid for budget accomodation so we didn't expect more than the basic necessities. The food was good throughout our stay, no complaints.
The only downside was that it rained for two days straight which made it impossible to do a full game drive as the vans would get stuck in the mud if we tried to come closer to the animals... I would recommend Jocky Tours as they have been in the business for a long time and offer great budget safaris.

Wonderful experience
We had a private safari to Amboseli and Tzavo West organized by Jocky and enjoyed every minute of it. The minivan was comfy as can be with a professional driver who took very good care of our comfort and safety. With his persistency and experience he managed to show us all the animals we wanted to see including a lioness and a baby lion, which are not so many in Tzavo. The lodges in both places were ok, but one can pay for a more luxurious accommodation. We had all the costs negotiated from the beginning and were not asked for anything in addition. Reliable company

Professional Camping Safari
As a senior single female I found the camping experience to be very comfortable and safe. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the tent and the beds and bathroom with hot water shower adjoined to the tent.
The game drivers worked hard to reach every interesting animal encounter/occurrence of the day. I did the 4 day 3 night safari and was thrilled to witness lions mating, several lion kills, a leopard, a mother cheetah with 4 babies and much more. The birds are spectacular as well. I had 2 different drivers and they never gave up the chase to find great animal encounters and then wait patiently until everyone in the vehicle had taken all the photos they wanted.
Meals were filling in a serve yourself style with lots of tea and coffee included. Other beverages were available for purchase. The staff at the camp was very efficient as well as friendly and polite.
Overall this was an extremely good experience and I will recommend Jocky Tours to my friends as a trust worthy, well priced, good value for money company

I found their services good and most important to me reliable.
They are good in communication and kept me updated. The safari met my expectation. Most outstanding was our tour driver, he was very friendly, dedicated and knows Masai Mara very well. We managed to see the big five courtesy o our tour guide.

reliable operator, even if the choice of certain accommodations leaves something to be desired
reliable operator, even if the choice of certain accommodations leaves something to be desired both in terms of comfort and food, as well as the fact of bringing together people from different lodge which leads to wasted time and stress and luggage which also accumulates inside the car.

He knows where and how to find the animals
In total it was really good. We see a lot, also the Big Five. But I was wondered and surprised what was not included, like the Boatstour or the Walk with the animals. I took again a look of the Safari-Description but I didn't find these advices.
And also to see the animals very close was really nice, sure. But I don't think that it is good for the animals. And to breake rules by leaving roads was terrible. There is a reason why this is not allowed.
At least thank you for the journey with you, Moses.
