Everything was really good
A great safari tour that we definitely recommend. Excellent service, we saw everything that was promised, including the BIG 5 and not only them but also other exotic animals. Special thanks to our guide - Joshua, who was unbeatable. We consider him the Safari King because he managed to do the impossible, showing us all the animals, driving to seemingly inaccessible places, and taking us to truly remarkable sights. Joshua is very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. We definitely recommend him. Thank you for the amazing adventures and emotions.

Great experience and tour guide
Chose this company based on reviews and was not disappointed. Had a couple of quotes from other companies which were slightly cheaper, however chose Jocky tours and do not regret it.
Booking was easy and communication was good with the company responding to any questions within 24 hours. We chose the 3 day/2night mid range private option.
We were picked up at 7am on our first day and taken to the office where payment was made. We paid with cash which was a very quick process and we then set off for the reserve with our driver Caleb. We arrived at 1600 and went on an evening game drive until the reserve closed at 1830. The next day we set off for the reserve at 0630 and spent from 0700-1700 in the reserve. We saw multiple lions, elephants , antelopes, hippo, crocodiles, cheetah, griaffe, warthog, zebra, birds and buffalo. The last day we set off at 0730 and spent an hour driving out of the reserve also encountered many of the above before visiting the Maasai Village and returning to Nairobi for 1500 hours. There is plenty of water provided during the trip.
We stayed at the Enkorok Mara Camp which is a mid range tented camp and were very pleased. The tent had everything we needed. The food was buffet style and was delicious. They cater for dietary requirements and vegan/vegetarian. They provided lunch on the second day which was a very generous size.
Caleb our driver was amazing, he got us as close as he could to the different animals and had a wealth of facts about the reserve and all the animals we saw. He was not stumped by any question we had. He is one of the friendliest people we've met and nothing is too much of an ask

Excellent experience with the Jocky
This is my first time of safari. Shout out to the guide, David. He is so helpful and knowledgeable. He made this safari unforgettable. I saw a lot of animals in Amboseli. Highly recommended.

Unforgettable experience!
I had one of the best experiences in my life - as nature and animal lover. The tour was organized very well - as a budget tour all the accommodations, food, transport was very well planned.
Our guide Francis did fantastic job - his driving skills, knowledge and experience was what made the whole safari unique and memorable. He was always flexible towards our preferences, made sure we are at the right time at the right spot and that everything is alright for us.
We saw the big 5 and we were all more than happy with the whole trip!
If you decide to book a tour with Jocky, make sure to ask about trip with Francis, (they have quite few guides). Thank you!
Will surely be back!

Intense and perfect safari with Francis
Very trustful service, and trustful and skilful safari driver and guide Francis. This was lifetime experience in Safari in Kenya and it was worth the money and time, it was excellent and intense, beautiful and funny. We had not only nature and animals to see but also a pretty nice game drives feeling like in a rally which gave it a spicy flavour. :) i rate this week with 10 out of 10. Thank you very much! :)

Excellent service and safari experience! :)
Our tour guide, Francis, made this week of safari experience unforgettable in a positive way. We saw the Big Five and many more animals across Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli National Parks. Francis always found the best spots to see the animals and provided professional off-road driving.
He took into account our needs for stops and other requests. It was great to answer all the questions we had.

Reliable and fun tour operator with a good value for money
Our Budget Group Safari was an unforgettable experience. During the 6 days went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Our highlight was Masai Mara. We were able to see the Big Five 😊
Our guide Moses knew everything about the animals, was very motivated in finding them and kept the group enterntained with his humour.
The car was a bit old though.
We were a bit surprised that we did not stay with the same group for the whole Safari. It makes sense, but sometimes you might lose some time waiting for new people to join. It did not bother us, it is just something you maybe should be prepared for when booking the group safari. We think it is the same with all Budget Tour Operators.
The accomodations were good, we especially liked the Mara Enkorok Camp (it was an upgrade which we don’t regret). We can also recommend the massage at Hills Court Hotel!
Brilliant Tour With A Well-Organised and Experienced Guide
The tour was very straightforward to book and Jocky were very quick to respond to our questions. The tour itself was excellent. Accommodations were comfortable, the food was tasty and my dietary requirements were catered to. Moses, our guide, was a wealth of knowledge and an amazing driver. We always felt safe and well-looked after. We did the 6 day tour and saw loads of animals - thanks to Moses' eagle eye - and of course we saw the big 5! Big thanks to Moses and Jocky for a fantastic safari.

The attention was very fast. They helped us in ways that were necessary.
I found the entire service very good. The people are very friendly, on the safari Samari Mara, Lucy and Lucia. They were very kind with everything and the food in the restaurant was always sufficient and very delicious. The guide Papa also helped us with everything, he was always patient and with him we were able to see a lot of natural safari life.
On the tour to Amboseli, the most wonderful thing was seeing the elephants and also the geological formation of Amboseli. There really isn't much life. But seeing the elephants, some giraffes and hyenas was a 10 out of 10. The community here is very friendly too and always helping

Tour guide Kikitu is excellent, and the overall itinerary is very smooth.
communications：5🌟(5/5)。Communication flows smoothly; my English isn't excellent, but the guide uses simpler expressions when seeing our puzzled looks.
service：5🌟(5/5)
value for money：5🌟(5/5)。Reasonable price, more cost-effective than other companies.
reliability：5🌟(5/5)。The entire journey was both safe and enjoyable, and we got to see the Big Five of Africa!
tour:10🌟（10/5）。I feel like I've encountered the best guide - Kikitu, no animal on the grassland can escape his eyes. Thanks to him for taking us to see the grassland scenery. I wonder if the travel agency can specify a guide? If they can, Kikitu must be the one. Thank you Kikitu by Luna
