Reviews
Steve was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had the best experience possible
The safari was amazing, seeing the animals was incredible. Our guide Steve was great and made sure we were able to see many lions. Would highly recommend.
The rest of this review is about the Masai village visit, which was optional at the end of the safari/tour. It’s clear they will try get as much money from tourists as possible. They sell many necklaces with “lions teeth” which are likely fake; and they separate you individually so it is easier for them to pressure you to buy something. Something to be aware of.

Amazing safari experience with the best guide Jimmy
We went for 7-days safari with Jockey Tours and if I would only have more time I would defiantly stay for longer. The plan was packed and we have seen a lot - big 5 ticked!!
The experience was superior because of our experience guide Jimmy. If I’m going to do safari again I would definitely ask for Jimmy. He is very knowledgable and also very easy to deal with.
One of the best holidays in my life!

Great private tour with the best guide in the world Stanley - ask Stanley ❤️
We had private safari for 4 days - in Lake Nakuru (1day) and Masai Mara (3 days). Pur guide Stanley was amazing - friendly, polite, open to fulfill all our wishes. I had birthday during private tour and he arranged as present for me desert from hotel staff which was amazing suprise. Our safari tour was made via our mood and wishes. I had some problems with my health and he helped me a lot - we visited hospital, we changed our tour schedule. But inspite of all our health problems it was amazing - we saw big 5 and many many animals - lion family, elephant family, giraffe family, hippos, rhinos, monkeys etc…. I really recommend you to have Stanley as guide and Jocky tours as guide operator. Only one remark to accomodation - in Masai Mara we had glass cottage almost at the end of hotel area and our accomodation was cold without any sun.

Ask for Jimmy
Great value for money versus other tours and the level of service was excellent. I wouldnt hesitate recommending Jocky to anyone. We had Jimmy and he is the best guide I've had on any safari trip.. he was really friendly, helpful, and was really flexible with what we wanted to do (for example visit supermarkets, find atms for us etc). I would definitely ask for Jimmy if you can!

The best ever!
Our 4 day safari with Jimmy was amazing! He was the best guide we’ve had for a safari! He was very focused on all of the guests and making sure we saw the best animals possible. I couldn’t recommend him and Jocky tours enough! They were reliable and organised. Our accommodation and food for a budget trip was great! They provided enough water for everyone and Jimmy even went out of his way to stop at the supermarket for us, which was greatly appreciated by everyone and he definitely didn’t have to do that!

Amazing experience would come again
Great value for money, our guide Kevin made sure we were well looked after and secure on our travels. All meals included and very tasty. We saw the big 5 and many other animals. Would highly recommend.
If I had to find any fault I would say communication from tour operator could be improved.
Otherwise a wonderful experience.

Excellent tour, communication a bit slow
We booked a 7 day safari with jocky tours and visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli national parks. Jocky tours was very helpful and ubcomplicated in including a planned interruption of the safari so we could stay at a Maasai village for two nights.
The drivers Kikitu and Philip were very friendly, helpful, resourceful and caring. They both know a lot about the wild animals and the history of country and people. Kikitu found animals in the rarest places, Philip also provided books to check animals in further detail (which I liked). I highly recommend them both.
Communication with Jocky tours was okay. The response time via mail was a bit slow and not all questiobs were answered. After our intermission, the new driver and us were waiting for each other at the same place for 3 h, because we did not receive each others contacts. But on the other hand, jocky was very flexible, as mentioned.
The safaris in all three national parks were amazing. The landscape is very different, so each was a new experience. We saw a bunch of wild animals of various kind, including four of the big five (for rhinos you should visit Lake Nakuru) and many other impressive animals. We got a lot for our money and can recommend to book a tour with jocky tours.
