Best experience in Africa
Our trip to Kenya was organized by ourself w/o an agency, hence booking a safari (which is not the cheapest thing to book) from abroad is difficult to do on a website you don't know. Our experience was better than our expectation. The whole safari with our amazing driver Peter Kapino, and with Jocky Tours was perfect, awesome and a mind-blowing experience that I recommend to everyone. Everything was as it is stated in the deacription and looked the same as on the pictures. They picked us up from the hotel, we went to the office to settle all the payment and then started our journey. Be prepared that the trip from Nairobi to Masai Mara is long, take some snacks with you. Once we arrived, we had a nice welcome and lunch with a check in. After that we went on a game ride which was really awesome. The next days we had a whole day game ride with a take away lunch. The game rides were just really mind-blowing and our driver / guide Peter Kapino was the nicest and he commented everything with full of useful information about the animals. He answered all our questions, based on his best knowledge. We saw a lot of animals in their natural habitat, nearly all of the big five. The last day we visited the Masai Mara village, which is optional (we paid directly to the village - which is in my opinion the best- so have cash or M-Pesa). As our vacation lasted for 2 weeks only and we did not had the option and time to visit a not touristy village of one of the tribes, so this visit was a perfect fit. Even if it's maintained for tourists, if you cannot go to a real village just go here. It's nice to see their traditional dances and go to their houses. I personally had a lot of questions, and they answered it all nicely. Be prepared that they will offer a lot of soveniers, but you are okay to say no. Overall, everything was perfect and everyone was really nice. I much recommend booking this safari.

Great safari!
We had amazing time in our 3 dayMasai Mara safari! Our driver and guide, Peter Kapino, was an excellent driver and guide. He was working hard to show us all the animals possible, and we managed to see most of big5 too! The accomodation was clean and good, and the food was good - we did not get sick from it, which was our main goal.
Everyone from the organisation team at the Jocky tour office was kind, the driver Peter was amazing, and the accomodation people were very kind too.
We also went to the optional masai Village visit, which was great to see, however we heard some tricks made for tourists, like selling necklaces with "lion teeth" what our guide, the "son of the chief" "hunter down"... Otherwise it was still very interesting.
Overall the safari trip was very good, affordable and a good experience for a life.

Great guide, for a complete tour with all big five
We booked the 5 days, all-inclusive, private tour. Since the first moment, they showed us great flexibility. Our guide Peter adapted the schedule to our interests and necessities, without leaving anything behind. He, instead, suggested interesting activities and extras. During the 5 safari days, we saw all three parks, all big five and several other animals, also thanks to Peter's expertise. Food and accommodations were from sufficient to very good, depending on the place we were visiting, but we always found great kindness and friendliness. The only downside was the car, which needed some repairing during the trips (fortunately without interfering with our vacation).
In general, for the price we paid, the experience exceeded our expectations. Four stars to the company, five to our guide.

Everything went smoothly, during our lucky full day in Maasai Mara we could see the big five on the same day. Our driver, Solomon was really professional, he always answerd all of our questions and took us to the good locations. Highly recommend!

Excellent safari trip with steve
We booked budget safari with Jocky tours, it was easy and they were approachable, replying to emails promptly, providing options, answering questions and their advice about packing, etc was useful, it was a smooth process
Steve was quite knowledgeable, very helpful and keen to show us the best of Kenya culture and showed us the big five multiple times. I learnt a lot about animals and Kenya culture from him.
I would definitely recommend this trip as budget safari, accommodations as shown on website and all inclusive (no large buffets but local Kenyan food)

Excellent Safaris in the Kenya parks
At Jocky Tours and Safaris we booked a 7-day Safari around Kenyan parks - Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli. We were very lucky with the driver Geeman, who worked throughout the trip not for a tick, but to get us the best views and as many animals as possible. We saw lions, cheetahs, hyenas, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, hippos up close.
The trip is well organized, water throughout the trip, food, accommodation, nothing to worry about. We were extremely satisfied.

Well organized and nice people
I joined a 3 day tour of the Masai Mara. Everything went smooth, from the hotel pick up to the safari.
Our driver was Geeman, who gave us plenty of info about the animals and their habitat.
The camp is ok, you Get What you pay for but overall was a nice experience. Light is Limited from 5.30 to 7 and from 18.30 to 22. You can charge your devices in the common dining area.
I would definitely recommend this esperience.
