Saved our safari
5/5

Short story: we got scammed and Jocky saved our holiday/safari

Long story: we were communicating with a tourist camp but apparently their email address got hacked. So after making the down payment and final payment before arriving (never do that, learn from me), we arrived in Nairobi excited to start our adventure. But there we learned the truth. We got informed by Jocky tours that the camp it’s email was hacked and I transferred the money to a scam account.
Jocky then saved our safari by fixing everything in minutes.
About the safari itself, it was magical. We saw everything and more. Lions fighting over their prey, lionesses with cubs, elephants, rhinos, cheetah, zebras, hyenas, … Our guide Charles Kyalo made our stay and our tour very special. He knew every road in the parks like the back of his hand and drove like an expert. He was also very knowledgeable about the animals and culture. Definitely a recommend.
Thank you very much Jocky tours and Charles!

Jeff was the best operator one could wish for! Expert with animals and the roads, funny & patient <3
5/5

Overall experience was amazing, we had an amazing Operator Jeff and his 4x4 named «Spy girl » drove us really easily through the Safari. We got in advance all Infos about the tour and there are possibilities to upgrade Hotels.
We had the Chance to do different Safaris, in 4x4 (Masai Mara & Nakuru), Boat (Naivasha) and bicycle (Hell’s Gate). Nakuru was for me a bit less impressive than the rest.
We felt really safe during the whole tour - just make sure not to go out alone in the Masai at 12am as you might hear Hyenas really close by ;-). Every hotels were clean, and people gentle, and we had own showers and toilets everywhere. The Mara Lenchada Camp was a bit more Basic than the rest, but ok for 2 nights.
All people were gentle during the tour.
I totally recommand it for the price.
Thank you so much Jeff for this amazing experience.

Great guide (Jeff ❤️), we felt safe on the road and Jeff made his best for us to see all animals on the safari! Price/value great, however I struggled to get quick and complete answers from the agency beforehand.

Memorable experience, fully professional
5/5

Very well organised safari trip. We have seen all big five thanks to our driver Salomon. He seems to know every other driver, was always well informed and devoted to show us the very best of Masai Mara. Thanks to his perfect driving skills we were always best palced to make perfect photos. Very good car, accomodation appropriate for the budget charakter of our trip.

The most amazing experience
5/5

I found Jocky tours on Safari bookings and yes they do live up to their reviews. This was our first safari and first trip to Africa and it was fantastic. The driver / guide Geeman was knowledgeable, skilled, attentive, and just fun to go out to find animals on safari. He seamed to get as excited as we did. He has a stellar reputation with other guides. The places we stayed, camp or hotel had the warmest and kind staff. The trip was certainly worth money, time and effort. I can not having a better experience.

We were lucky enough to have a great tour guide who was patient, sincere and kind. Along the way we saw almost all visible animals at close range
5/5

1. Humans and nature, animals and nature, humans and animals live in harmony. This is respectable.
2. I am very happy because I chose a hotel with good accommodation environment.
3. Seeing wild animals is a very worthwhile tour guide.
