Perfect trip and great safari!
5/5

Let me express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for your cooperation. Thanks to you and your colleagues, the well-organized program during my stay in Kenia allowed me to take a closer look at your country, to feel and understand its nature, its character, to come closer to its people, to get new friends and partners that made possible to me finding new ways for bilateral contacts.
Such chances and possibilities will surely contribute to further development of economic ties and tourism between our countries and also might open new ways to mutually beneficial cooperation.
My special thanks goes to Mr. Richard, Mr. Eric, and our perfect driver, guide and simply a very good friend Peter for the unforgettable safari and comfortable transfer and accommodation. What a pity that we didn’t have enough time to discover all the beauties of the Kenian National Parks and the Kenian wildlife. But it simply gives us one more occasion to come back with new expectations.
Once again, thank you for all you have already done for us and accept my best wishes and good luck in your future endeavors.

Great budget experience
5/5

We booked a budget safari for 6 days and the mount Kenya trek on Sirimon route. Everything went really great from the very first day. During the safari, our guide Joshua was really helpful and gave us all the information we needed. This enable us to see the Big 5 of Kenya. Our mountain guide Joseph was also great in all aspects as well as our cooks Douglas and Nafali. I absolutely recommend Jocky tours.

A once in a lifetime experience
5/5

One of our best holidays. We saw all but one of the big five game animals and many more, including watching the wildebeest crossing the Mara river. Our tour guide Joshua was excellent; he was friendly and very knowledgeable. The camp we stayed in was lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful and the tents were clean and had hot showers. The only improvement would be to stay in a better hotel in Nakuru, even if this incurs an extra fee. The Golden Palace hotel was not in keeping with the high standard of the rest of the trip and was the only let down of the five day safari.

Thank you very much Juliet for the positive feedback. We have noted the recommendation on Golden palace hotel and taken the necessary step of changing our partner hotel in nakuru. We highly apologize for that. Going forth we will try and advise our clients on that. Looking forward to hosting you again.

The review below is the personal opinion of Marc and not that of SafariBookings.
Nice safari, old and broken vehicles and poor staff
3/5

Although Safari was amazing and we get to see all animals, there's a huge room to improve in staff/drivers and vehicles. Our vehicle was broken two times, we've change to another vehicle, and this was broken again. Drivers due not explain many things, and they drive looking all the time the mobile phone, so the trip was not safe. They don't provide you waters even it's included on the price, you have to request them all the time. On a stop to a restaurant, the driver and vehicle has disappear without saying nothing with all our bags, because they have to repair the vehicle, a bad experience. Price is good.

Hi Marc, Glad that you loved the safari part. We unfortunately regret and apologize for the vehicle breakdowns you had and unprofessional nature of our driver guide of the day. You traveled during peak time of the season and therefore there was a strain in resources, all our guides and vehicles were full booked and therefore we had to out source the guide you used on this particular day and leased his vehicle too. Sorry for the inconveniences caused to you.

We were very pleased with Jocky Safari Tours.
5/5

A few years planned to go on a safari, but on safari tours price, here in Moscow really bite. And then by chance, at a forum Vinsky learned that can be quite inexpensive to travel without intermediaries. Immediately I contacted c Jocky Tours and began to correspond about the price and other details of the tour with them. And then came the day when we arrived in Nairobi. We were met at the airport by a driver of the company and drove to their offices for the payment of the tour, and then delivered to the hotel for free. The next morning, we drove for another driver and we went for a long-awaited safari. With us in the jeep was still four. The first item on our itinerary was the Masai Mara National park. On the first evening we saw so many animals: giraffe, zebra, impala, buffalo, warthogs and wildebeests, everything looked especially beautiful at sunset. On the second day even saw elephants, jackals, monkeys, hippos, crocodile, ostrich, cheetahs, lions. And the most important thing that impressed us - it is the migration of wildebeest and zebras across the Mara River. Please herd stood and did not dare go into the water, and when it went first, then the others all began to jump into the water behind him and go to the other side. We looked for an hour with bated breath for ungulates, it seemed there were thousands and thousands formed a never-ending chain of antelope with zebras, somewhere out there, in the depths of the savannah. We had a full day safari in the Masai Mara park, and we stopped for lunch in the middle of the savannah. In the evening on arrival in the camp, Maasai guarding our hotel accompanied us to his village. There we visited on a visit at this Maasai tribe, saw their way of life, by taking pictures with the locals. Masai start a fire using a wooden stick for us, I tried, but failed, and they produced it for two minutes. And finally, we jumped with them one above, and even danced. What I want to say about Jocky Tours. Safaris are organized at the highest level, all our wishes fulfilled, subject to any fines. We were fed three times a day. Kenyan cuisine at very very tasty, I visited many countries and some where, so delicious cooked. We were very pleased with Jocky Safari Tours.

Good operator
5/5

Jockytours helped me organize a lodge safari to Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara. The price was very competetive. We liked our guide: he was very knowledgable and professional. Everything was organized according to the program we had approved beforehand. The only drawback is the quality of the minivan that could have been in a better state.

Wonderful few days on Safari
5/5

We were picked up in Nairobi by the very punctual Amos our guide and driver for the few days.
From there we were taken on a 4 hour drive through Nairobi to the beautiful Amboselli Sopa Lodge overlooking Kilimanjiro. All through this time Amos, when asked answered any questions we had. He was very obliging with everyone in our group. We were then brought to Amboselli National Park and we got extremely lucky seeing elephants, lions, any amount of zebras within the first hour. It was a stunning start to the day. Amos was as excited as us about seeing these. His depth of knowledge about all the animals was amazing. He spoke of the struggles they have to put up with through poaching.
The second day we decided to take a picnic and were brought out at 9am and taken through the reserve again and came back about 4pm. We saw hippos, elephants and all we seen the previous day. Again we had a great day. When we came back to Amboselli Sopa we were all very tired after a great few days.
Amos took us the following morning into a Masai Village which was very interesting and entertaining.
He then took us back to the airport and everyone in our group was delighted with all we had seen and done over the last few days.
