Amazing operator with great guides
I travelled to Masai Mara with Jocky tours and I absolutely loved the service. We started with a stop at the Rift valley, which had spectacular views. Then we had a long drive to the Mara. Solomon was an amazing guide and a lovely driver. He drove v carefully and made sure we were always comfortable.
I really loved our group as well!! Some of the best people I’ve met.
Solomon took us on a game drive on the first day and knew all places to find animals. We were lucky to see alot of them on the first day itself.
We stayed at the Lenchada camp, which was not great, but given the price, it was pretty good.
We had good food and a decent tent and bed.
The second day was amazing. Solomon took us so close to the animals that it was amazing. Saw the Big 4. Missed the rhinos though :(
Unimaginable fun!!
We came back the 3rd day and Solomon found a route better for us as it had no traffic.
I would most definitely recommend Jocky tours to everyone!!

Majestic!
We are a group of 5 who booked via safari bookings website for a four day tour. Jockey tours was excellent in accommodating our needs, we changed the hotel pick up several times and that was not a problem (Hakuna Matata).
In short: Francis, our tour guide, is the BEST tour guide you can wish for! Extremely knowledgeable of all the different reserves, different animals and information about all the animals. He has worked as a tour guide for 13+ years and you can imagine the knowledge as his father was also a tour guide. Very well connected with other tour operators and reserve rangers and you will be able to see at least 30 different type of animals on any day!
Francis loves what he does and that spills out into positivity while on the tour! He has two rules: Be Positive and Be Patient :)
In length:
We were picked up at the hotel on the first day and we head to their office to pay for the tour. Then we head to Maasai Reserve. On the way, we stopped at the Great Rift viewpoint (unlucky for us there were clouds). Upon reaching the reserve, you have lunch, settle in your tents and then go for a Game Drive for a couple of nights before ending the day.
Next day is an early rise for a full day at the Maasai Reserve with a picnic in wild. We saw everything from elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, wild beasts, buffalos to cheetahs and lions. (Among many others)
You have the option to get a tour of Alligators and Hippos for a small charge of (200 shillings pp).
Third day you can elect either for a tour of the Maasai Village ($20 USD pp) which we went for or a hot air ballon tour. The Village was very interesting and worthwhile. You get a touch of how the Maasai live and their culture. The rest of the day is the drive to Nakuru.
Last day we had more Game Drives at Nakuru national park and saw Beautiful Rhinos and flamingos!
Highly recommend this experience and specifically request for Francis!

Passionate
The communication with Jocky tours was excellent. They were responsive and helpful with accomodating our groups needs.
The first few days in the Mara were the highlight. I would say it really depends on your guide, and we had the best man for the job, Francis. He was passionate and well connected, knew where to find the animals.
We opted for the village tour which was great, learned a lot about the masai culture but then were pressured into buy dodgy and expensive souvenirs. There was also an option to buy other souvenirs which we did (at a decent price). The village people were very friendly and accomodating.
Lake Nakuru was great, we saw many rhinos. The accomodation was dissapointing because we were expecting a nicer resort for the night but last minute change.

Very knowledgeable, fun and professional
Our tour to Masai Mara Lenchada and tented camp and nakuru national park was a great experience. Our guide Francis was very knowledgeable and professional and allowed us to view a vast range of wild animals. Only one missed was the leopard! Only draw back was our planned hotel
Wasn’t available and required a last minute change to a lesser hotel. But good value overall

This safari tour surpassed all our expectations
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional safari tour experience recently provided by Jocky Tours & safaris and, particularly, our guide Andrew.
The safari tour surpassed all our expectations. Every aspect, from the seamless logistics to the breathtaking wildlife encounters, contributed to an unforgettable journey. However, what truly made this experience exceptional was Andrew’s unwavering commitment to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction throughout the entire trip. Andrew’s kindness, attentiveness, and readiness to accommodate our requests were remarkable. His deep knowledge of the area and wildlife added immeasurable value to the journey, making each moment both educational and awe-inspiring.
This safari has left an indelible mark on our memories, thanks in no small part to the professionalism and warmth. We look forward to recommending your services enthusiastically to friends and family and hope to return for another adventure in the future.

Great quality, flexible, tailor made tours at the price of standard tours
We had a tailor made 5 days tour that included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha + the transfers from and back to Mombasa. Jocky our Tours has accomodated all our demands offering a flawless and care free experience. We have takn a mid range option and were 100% satisfied. The safari guide makes a huge difference. Our guide was Johnny who is kind, passionate and experienced. He constantly went the extra-mile, going for longer hours, just to make everyone happy. He is very well connected with everyone and gets all hints necessary to get to the big five locations. We actually ended up seeing all big 5 in the first 2 hours in Masai Mara. Also his flexibility and proactiveness in recommending activities was great. We highly recommend Johnny and Jocky Tours overall.

Memorable and exciting safari tour in Kenya!
I loved my whole experience with 3 days Jockey tour! My tour guide Jerman is super friendly and knowledgeable. He explained all of our questions about animals at Masai Mara and took a good care of us throughout the trip. I'd definitely recommend this tour and Jerman to anyone who wants to go safari in Kenya! Thanks Jerman!
