Excellent
When we were booking our trip, we had some specific wishes, and the contact about this with Minneh went really well. She gave us good advice and adjusted the trip to our needs. Once in Kenya, our 11 day trip with our guide Kikitu went really well. Communication and information was clear. Kikitu is very knowledgeable about Kenya and its wildlife. Moreover, he is great at spotting animals and finding the right angle for the perfect photograph, and he is very pleasant to be with. I would really recommend Jocky Tours and their guide Kikitu: they really do that extra effort to make your holiday unforgettable.

Excellent
I think the experience in the Masai Mara Park is the best because it already includes most of the wild animals, almost covering all the types of animals one wants to see. Nakuru is also a very worthwhile place to visit because it has beautiful scenery, fresh air, and rare flamingos and rhinos. I think the entire trip, compared to the excitement and thrill, I would rather describe it as warm. Because while chasing the animals, I also experienced the warmth and enthusiasm of the locals. I believe this is one of the main reasons why Kenya's tourism industry is developing well. Every guide or hotel staff at each scenic spot greets every tourist with the greatest sincerity. I learned to say "Hakuna Matata" when there was no solution to a problem. This trip will be a memory that I will never forget for me. I am very grateful to David (Mukami) for being able to go through this journey with me. You are a very responsible and humorous good tour guide. You always solve difficult problems first and understand that my English is not good and is willing to communicate with me using some simple words. Traveling with you made me feel very at ease. If friends come here for travel in the future, I will definitely recommend you to them. I hope you can meet more like-minded friends in your future work and constantly find your own sense of achievement and personal value from this job.

Very well organized
I had a great experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris and would highly recommend them.
I joined the 3-day shared Masai Mara safari and added the optional hot air balloon safari on the morning of Day 2. Apart from the balloon safari, the itinerary included about three hours of game drive on the first day and a full-day game drive on the second day.
Of course, every safari is different, but in my case, we were lucky enough to see almost all of the major animals on the first afternoon. That meant the second day’s game drive was much more relaxed, allowing us to enjoy the scenery and wildlife without feeling rushed to search for specific animals.
The entire trip was very well organized. Transportation between Nairobi and the Masai Mara, pickups at the camp, and breaks during the game drives were all smooth and convenient. Everything was arranged so that I never had to worry about the logistics.
When I arrived, I learned that my originally planned camp had become unavailable due to overbooking. Jocky Tours immediately upgraded me to another camp at no extra cost, which I really appreciated. They handled the situation professionally and made sure it did not affect my overall experience.
One piece of advice for future travelers: if you plan to join the hot air balloon safari, bring a warm down jacket or another warm outer layer. The early morning before sunrise is surprisingly cold. Also, the early wake-up combined with a full day of activities can make you very sleepy later in the day, so I recommend getting a good night’s sleep before the tour.
Overall, I was very satisfied with both the safari itself and the service provided by Jocky Tours, and I would happily travel with them again.
