very good experience.
4/5

Booking and dealing with jocky is quite easy, they were prompt to respond. services of the guide Mr. Joshwa was extremely good. Accomodation at time was not upto our expectation, Taphe Guest Resort is partly under construction, problems of water in toilet, toilet flush was not working, staff tried their best to solve the issues.

Lovely safari with Jocky Tours and Safaris
4/5

We had a lovely safari (Nairobi - Naivasha Lake - Hell’s Gate - Amboseli NP - Tsavo East NP - Diani Beach) on 7-11 July with Jocky Tours and Safaris (guides are Richard and Dennis). We have hugely enjoyed the trip with them. Richard speaks great Russian, so it was rather convenient for us as not everyone in our family knows English. Richard and Dennis did whatever it took to let us have the best experience and impressions during the safari. We would highly recommend those guides and the Jocky Tours Agency itself to all of our friends.

Good service for low budget safaris
4/5

We had a 6-day safari in Masai Mara national park, Nakuru, Naivasha (hell's gate) and mt Longonot. We enjoyed every destination and the budget accommodation we spent the nights in. Even if we had been told that in our van the maximum number of people would have been 7, we were 8 during some days of the tour. It wasn't such a big problem because we were all young and friendly, but it wasn't properly what we were expecting.
Cyrus, our dear driver, we are gonna miss you man! He is a polite guide, always willing to do his best to make your safari unforgettable. He was the first to wake up, and the last to drop you off at the camping! Thanks to him we managed to see all the big five and many wildlife rare scenarios! Even more than we were expecting!
To conclude, we recommend them! Please just have clear in mind all your itinerary because sometimes they seem to forget it!

Good time with our driver Joshua during our 7 days trip
4/5

We had a nice time with Joshua during our 7 days safari. He was punctual all days.
He drived well in allthe parks we went, even when the roads were in bad conditions.
He managed to drive and look for animal at the same time, what we found really impressive.
I recommend you to book a safari with Jocky tours because of the quality- price relation.
I was happy with the price we payed after negotiations because all the people we talked with had payed more for similar packaged tours (same campings, food, itineraries).

Impressive tour
4/5

I had an excellent out going tour guide (Kikitu) he made the experience fun and really interesting.
Some of the hotels used could be better upgraded. Asides that, the sights were really good and eye opening , I am glad I went on the tour

Excelente safari a buen precio! Awesome safari on budget!
4/5

Awesome safari on budget!
We did the 4 days budget safari of Maasai Mara and Nakuru Lake in a joining group with 4 more people (6 in total).
Contact with Jocky Tours was easy, good, quick response and directly. The price was also very convenient.
We confirm our safari just 2 days in advance and they contact directly us by phone.
They allow us to pay directly in cash the same day of departure; also we could pay in € and they gave us a good exchange from USA $, so we were happy.
The assigned guide was Kikitu, he is local, and speaks English and Swahili and some Spanish that he was improving with us!!
Kikitu go along with us all the trip, from the pick up at our b&b in Nairobi till the last day; so he was our driver also all the time.
He has a good knowledge about the country, the National parks and the animals.
Kikitu got to find quickly 4 of the big 5 at Maasai-Mara N.P. (Lions, Buffalos, Elephants and the hidden Leopard, very difficult to see) and we got the last one at Nakuru Lake N.P. (the white Rhino). We could saw the black Rhino, but we knew that its very difficult to find it, and Kikitu did his best for found it, so no complaints at all.

The van for safari is a Toyota, normal one, without any luxuries but good for this kind of adventure.
Kikitu was attentive all the time we had bottles of drinking water available all the time.
The Lemchada Tended Camp was even better that we expected and the meals were simple but correct.
The restaurants on the road was more simple, and in one the food was a little bad and limited; so the last day of safari, when we are coming back to Nairobi, as we both were the only people in the van, Kikitu offer us to stop for lunch in a different place, a local restaurant in Naisvhara were we eat some local food, better than the assigned restaurant and we had a good time with Kikitu.
He is the best one!!
Asante Sana.
