Wonderful safari trip
As the title says, it’s been a really great experience.
We have had really good and easy-going guides Joshua and his intern Alvin.
He was proactive in explaining about the wildlife and also about Kenyan culture. He was always kind and helpful with anything.
About the trip itself:
Maasai Mara was the best part of the whole package. Honestly, we recommend to prolong the stay in Maasai Mara by one day - because it’s just stunning. We’ve seen all the animals from the so-called “big five” in unique situations and plenty other animals.
Rest of the trip was also nice, it had different vibes than Maasai Mara, so it was not seeing the same all over again.
One little negative of the trip overall in Kenya is whenever you pass by any tourist shop or locals, they try to sell you whatever they have, often in a very pushy way. First few days it was ok, but later on it became really annoying. Also, from our point of view, the souvenirs were quite expensive.
If you are still deciding about this trip - your answer should be yes! It was absolutely worth it and we would recommend it to anyone!

Amazing! Every penny well spent on this provider, always cared for and left extremely happy!
The tour review: we got very lucky with our driver Jose, he was simply amazing. The kindest and most knowledgeable man we met on this entire trip. For the whole 5 days of driving us around and taking us into the Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha, he was always smiling, always showing us new things and he knew a lot about the history, animals, tips and tricks and he was funny! The tour was very well organised, from our tented accommodation to our two hotel stays, we didn’t have to worry about a thing, we were taken care of start to finish. Jose is very very experienced and on the game drives he knew exactly where we were in the park at all times, he was always in communication with other drivers and where they spotted animals, and he was also very clever in his ability to predict where animals will be in the 10 minutes based off their behaviour, which allowed us to see all of the Big 5, spot black rhinos and even the very very rare leopard within a few meters of the vehicle. We watched a cheetah hunt down prey, and I was able to take the most magnificent pictures. If I could rate this tour more than 5 stars I would. Also speaking to other tour groups and tourists, we had paid less than everyone, had more benefits like a boat ride in Naivasha paid for, and we were blessed with the luck of seeing animals lots of people missed out on (this partly testament to Jose’s expertise!)
Extras: We got picked up from the airport and dropped off at the airport at no extra cost. At every stage, I could reach out via WhatsApp and someone replied very usefully. Everyone speaks great English, everyone was SO friendly and accommodating, loved Kenya so much!

Jocky Tours Safari.... amazing!!
We just completed a 7 day tour of Masai Mara, Nakuru, Lake Navaisha and Amboseli. Let me begin by telling you how prompt and accommodating Jocky Tours were. From beginning to end, they answered all my questions (and there were alot!) They were accommodating to my requests and logistical arrangements that needed to be made. This is a well organized tour company.
The safari itself was amazing....Kenya will always hold a special place in my heart! The parks were exquisite and we loved all the experiences. We requested upgraded accommodations and these seriously exceeded our expectations The places we stayed were luxurious and the food was amazing.
We were travelling with others who were staying in budget accommodations and we felt a bit guilty every time we were dropped off....once even to a live sax player in the lobby! 🤣🤣🤣
Lastly, a huge shout out to our driver and tour guide Joseph. He told us his his father was a guide and he grew up in the passenger seat with his father. He knew all the back trails and was so knowledgeable about the parks and the animals. He had a wide network of colleagues that he communicated with and we were able to locate the big 5 in the first 2 days. He was able to spot animals so quickly, then maneuver the truck to give us the best view. I think the most exciting was when a mama lion and her 4 cubs jumped out of the bushes and entertained us for 30 minutes!
This was an epic adventure. Trust Jocky tours...they won't let you down!

nice.
Our guide and driver, Celab, was very dedicated, introducing us to the various animals and sharing stories about the interactions between people and animals within the park. We also made many new friends on this trip, and I highly recommend Jockey Tours.

Excellent
From the first day, the safari with this organization was exciting and well organized. We started early and reached our first Savannah park the same evening. The program was busy but amazing, with visits to several national parks: Masai Mara, Nakuru then Amboseli . We were always well fed and even had lunch in the Savannah with Marabou birds sharing with us. Our driver/guide was excellent, handling difficult roads and spotting hidden animals with ease. We truly enjoyed the safari, especially the international group we traveled with. Highly recommended!

Accommodating
Kelvin Mimi was an amazing driver and tour guide! You can see that he really wants our dreams of seeing the safari animals come true! He was such a good driver navigating through different areas to make sure we see the big 5s. We got super lucky and saw the big 5 on both days we were at the masaai mara! Would totally recommend him and Jocky Tour :)
