Jocky Tours was well prepared.
The safari was well prepared. We were picked up at the agreed time at our hotel on the first day and each following day the pick-up time for the next day was clearly said by the driver (who was also the guide) David Mukami, and he was always there on time to pick us up.
In the parks, David coordinated well with other people in the park to show us the animals. We saw many lions, as well as other animals.
The accomodations (tent camp) at Masai Mara were okay for a budget safari, the hotel at Nakuru was very nice.

There was clear communication and everything was planned well
The whole experience was great. The communication was clear from the beginning to the end. They indeed are a reliable operator. The accommodation was also well planned in advance.
The driver, David Mukami, who doubled down as a tour guide was great. He was well versed with Masai Mara and explained everything clearly.

Well run. Delivered as expected.
Trip was great. All worked out well.
It would have been better to have more communication before. Coming from England I wasn’t sure of the itinerary or system for paying etc. I would have preferred a document that explained all this.

professional service but transparency regarding extra charge for card transaction should be informed
Professional service but transparency regarding extra charge for card transaction should be informed. The guide and vehicle are good. Our guide John Mwanga was very dutiful and responsible. He also provided detailed information regarding the wildlife which were sighted.

Good safari Tours according the plan
We had wonderfull experience on our First safari tour.
We have seen a lot of different animals.
Our driver (Rodgers) did his best to show us good places with lot of animals.
We could see big five. Unfortunatelly we could not see cheetah.
We have booked budget tour.
Most of accomodations were ok, only some have been not so good.
In one accomodation in Masai Mara (Lenchada) my wife god issues with her stomach Most propobly due to the Food there.
If you book a tour in shared Jeep (7 places), you should know that if the Jeep is Full (most of the time in our case), it’s not so comfortable especial on Rest seats.
Because one member have booked non-budget tour, he/she had different accomodations.
That means sometimes we had to wait until that person is picked up First. That could mean that you start your Game Drive later and have less time.
When some of our members left, new passengers joined our group.
Because groups have been Mixed up, some have been not happy with this situation.
For us Everything was good because we stayed in one Jeep with one driver.

Excellent driving tour for a variety of animals
The tour was communicated very well, the service from our driver Papa John was excellent with him getting us across the park to many different locations in a 2 day span. The accomodation and food were high quality as well for the value. I appreciated Papa's facts about the animals, however, they were relatively surface level and would have preferred to learn more throughout alongside seeing the animals themselves.

Top driver, good price, but be careful about the agents
We made a 3 days safari in October 2025 with jocky tours. The safari was a wonderful experience. Our driver, Moses, was a very skilled driver, he knows exactly where to find the animals and he makes his best to show us the maximum.
Unfortunately, we had a problem with the agent. When we arrived in our lodges, we booked 3 singles rooms with Jocky, but they booked us a triple room instead. So we had to call them and it took like 2 hours to solve the problem. So finally I would highly recommend Jocky but my advice is to be really careful when you make your reservation, ask the agent a proof of the booking.

Overall good experience, but we were not informed about the additional fee before arrival
We had such a wonderful time on our first safari with James! He always managed to get us the best spots to see the animals and patiently explained every species in great detail — you can truly feel how much he knows and cares about wildlife. He’s also really funny and responsible, which made every ride both safe and enjoyable. My friends and I had so much fun, and even our carmates were lovely — the whole experience was unforgettable. I’ll definitely miss it (and James!) 💛

Tour Guide 10/10, The Company 7/10
Our guide Jimmy is fantastic! He is professional, friendly, helpful and has excellent driving skills. He has eagerly done his best to let us see all kinds of wildlife. He is very knowledgeable and informative, too. He deserves a 10/10 rating.
Before my booking, I had clarified clearly many questions with Jocky Tour customer service by email, among those are maximum number of participants, bottled water supply, accommodation and optional items:
i) The company promised the maximum number of participants would be 7 including the guide, and this was the main reason why I chose Jocky Tour; but eventually our tour had 8 people including the guide. Yet I understand this might be the industry's common practice to maximize their resources.
ii) 1L per day of bottled water per day per guest had been promised but bottled water ran out in the 3rd day. Luckily this didn't cause much a problem as I had my water refill at the accommodation sites.
iii) I had explicitly requested staying in Buraha Zenoni (8.9 rating on Trip.com) for the 3rd night but again we became staying at Hillcourt Resort (6 rating on Trip.com). Luckily except the defective faucet in my room, I had a restful night in Hillcourt.
iv) The optional item of boat ride in Lake Naivasha costing USD30 was communicated in email beforehand. Only when we arrived at the Hippo Boat operator did we know that the total cost is USD30 for boat ride plus USD20 for a short safari walk. The walk (~45min) was conducted by a guide named Samuel who spoke extremely softly that it seemed he didn't care whether you could hear him or not. In the latter part of the walk, he did not speak at all but just led the way and we just kept walking continuously for like >2o minutes. But the boat ride is good though.
However, Jocky Tour's customer services were quick and precise. The jeep was powerful for rugged roads. Group tour's price was fair, and that's why I should not have expected too much. Programme was delivered as promised.
