I loved every minute!
4/5

The guide had a lot of knowledge, but did not share too much. Every question got answered without hesitation and was very understandable. The guide knew where to search for the animals and saw all big five and more. The only negative was that the driver drove a little too close to some lions.

4/5

It was was a very good Safari. We got to see all the big five, which is really rare. The drivers drove a little fast and they were sometimes maybe a bit to close to the animals. But it was worth the money and we had a lot of fun!

A good trip, a little too close some of the animals
4/5

We did drive a little to fast sometimes and way too close to some of the animals, but the rest was very good and we did see all the animals we wanted to! We also had a amazing lunch!

4/5

I had a good experience with this safari! We saw a lot of animals, and the guides had a lot of knowledge. The only negative thing is that they drove very close to a lion, which stressed it. Other than that, I found the safari ethical.

Exceptional experience
4/5

Being in Nairobi,Kenya without going for Masai Mara Safary is something that should not happen,
Going for Safari with Jocky Tours is a must, being guided by the awesome David is a real luck
I have enjoyed alot the experience,
Our guide David was really supportive, patient each time we want to stop and look at amazing animals, he is puntual, always on time and gave us incrediblly nice information about his experience, the animals, he is well experienced with long years of Safary. And can't forget that he is extremely supportive, thanks for bringing me back my bag to the hotel when I fogot it

Comptency, reactivity and kidness
4/5

We really enjoyed our 7 days safari, our guide, Salomon was great ! He spotted all the animals and explained a lot about them, taking time to observe and explain their behaviour. He also decscribed Kenyan culture and this was really interesting. He made from our safari the greatest experience. Thanks to him !
The hotels were as expected apart from one which was not very nice, noisy and the "room" was tiny.

Seven Day Safari
4/5

We did the seven day safari between Masai Mara/Nakaru/Naivasha/Amboseli and had an amazing time.

There was a slight delay in the airport transfer although this was very early in the morning and not too long. There was also a 5% fee for paying by card when we arrived which wasn't communicated beforehand (even though we had used the same payment method for the deposit with no fee!)

Once the safari was underway everything was great, particularly our driver Alex who was friendly and knowledgeable in spotting and telling us about the animals and also helpful in stopping at cash points/safaricom shop and anything else we needed when travelling.

Excellent tour, communication a bit slow
4/5

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.

Very good safari, amazing experience with animals
4/5

The safari itself was very good, we got very close to the animals, lions in particular and I really enjoyed the experience. Our guide was John and he was excellent. I got a ride back to Nairobi with Jackson and he was also very nice and accomadating.
I can definitely recommend Jocky tours.
We stayed in the Lenchada tourist camp and it was OK. It was the budget option so I wasn't expecting anything fancy but I got put in a tent that you couldn't fully close both towards the outside and towards the bathroom. A big fly visited me.
And the mosquito net had quite a few holes. I should have let them know right in the beginning though, but still, they should take care that everything is at least properly working before people come. The others got proper tents though and the food ranged from okay to very good.
