Reviews
Just good and professional
It was a very good deal.
One point..think about the Lodge you want to stay. They differ a lot. I choose Jambo and it was fantastic.
All the things went alongside the declared program.
I think toyota will be better than safari vans.
David ,our driver and guide was cute and kind. Try to find best places.
However, I got a little disappointed with Masai Mara itself, although it is beautiful and lots of animals; but don't expect the Big immigration as ones in documentary films!
After all , it was a good experience

Most amazing experience of a life time with the most amazing safari guide, highly recommended!
Honest, reliable, company.
We have just been on a 4 day safari to Massai Mara and Lake Nakuru which we booked about 8 weeks ago. Communication with Minneh from Jocky Tours was very good, quick responses and all the details you need. Our flight was severely delayed from London by 10 hours but I was able to communicate with Minneh in the middle of the night to rearrange our scheduled pick up time from JKIA airport. A Jocky tours taxi was waiting for us at the airport and transferred us towards the office for full payment. We were told someone from the office was going to meet us at a petrol station to pay and start our safari from there as it was late afternoon and there was traffic to get to the office. We were a bit worried about this but sufficient documentation put our minds at ease and Jocky tours clearly did this to ensure we could start our safari and had our best interests in mind. We stayed in midrange accommodation which was above the standard we were expecting and provided good service. Above all of this, I must talk about our safari guide, Jack. He was amazing at his job and we will always remember him as part of our experience. Jack was extremely knowledgeable and could answer every question we had about the flora, fauna, massai and Kenya in general. He was also an excellent driver and handled the roads and tracks with great skill. We felt Jack went above and beyond to find animals in the Mara and get us as close as possible to the animals. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 including a black rhino in the Mara as well as a wealth of other wildlife and plants, unforgettable and unlike anything I have ever seen before. Best experience of our lives, we felt safe and that the tour provided good value for money. The Kenyan people were very friendly and welcoming, wanting to show off their beautiful country, and it is without a doubt the most beautiful country I have visited.
I couldn't recommend a safari in Kenya and Jocky Tours enough.

Incredible experience run by a dedicated operator
The 4 day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru and Naivasha is one of the best ‘bang for buck’ experiences I could have ever hoped for. Communication with the team was super easy if you give yourself enough time to buy a cheap sim card. Our tour guide, Charles, was always on time, full of information and help, and knew the ins and outs of the Mara which meant we saw the big 5 all in two days! There is no internet for the first two days of the trip which is fine as we bonded as a group and it was nice to get away from the phone. Travelling with Jockey Tours was super reliable thanks to our guide Charles and the team back in Nairobi. The tour of the Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha was incredible, an experience that cannot be captured in words unless you see it for yourself.

Outstanding Safari experience that exceeded all my expectations!
I was part of a group of eleven and Jocky Tours was nothing but extremely helpful, throughout the booking process and during the Safari. In particular we had lots of questions about Covid safety and testing before we left Kenya. We needn't have worried, Jocky Tours made sure we could enjoy the Safari and feel completely safe. They also arranged for testing towards the end of the 6 day safari so that we would have results prior to departing for the airport.
The safari itself was just epic. Our guides, Richard and James were extremely knowledgeable about every animal and plant we encountered. Not a single question went unanswered. Besides their extensive knowledge they were both extremely fun and engaging. All eleven of us on safari felt like we had made new friends in Richard and James.
The locations we toured were stunning and varied during the six days. Everything from the plains and savannah to lakes and a Masai village where we got to learn about the culture and traditions of the Masai people.
I can't rate this experience highly enough. Use Jocky Tours for your safari, you will thank yourself later. Brilliant, brilliant job, Jocky Tours, thank you!

fast response, accurate and caring even before booking
The 3 day safari trip and the accommodation, AA lodge was really wonderful, it will be a pleasant memory for a lifetime!
Our consultant Minneh was more then helpfull even before we booked the trip with them.
Our guide Khalifa was a really good fellow with a lovely personality, and most importantly with great experience, thanks to which we could see animals and situations far beyond what we expected. Being at the right spot at the right time was his biggest streangth, so we didn't have to wait half a day to see lions, cheetahs and leopards up close, or 1000s of wilderbeasts crossing the river. He just always knew what is happening and where. In an 1.500 km2 park this was very impressive and helpfull for me : )
Lastly the 4x4 jeep was a big plus by itself, and worth the little extra cost. I was very happy to take the ride in it, and not a normal van, because this way we could experience a lot more. (Crossing more extreme pathways, and cutting down on the lengts of the route and saving time for more adventure.)
Despite the more than correct price I think we got a 6* service.
I can only recommend the whole team.
If you book your trip with them, you don't have to worry about anything.

Amazing and unforgettable experience!
Everything about Jocky was great since the first minute I contacted them. They were very helpful, and communication was always smooth. Once in Nairobi, my driver Joseph was very patient with me while I had to stop to get some cash. Also, extremely helpful with everything I needed - even a PCR test during the tour. Joseph was always asking us how we were, explaining everything about the Safari and telling us all the animals’ names. He found lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, mongoose and hienas for us. We say babies (lions and cheetahs and all the baby zebras as well), and he was always delighted to see how happy we were while seeing all the animals. I’m happy to recommend not only Jocky Tours but Joseph as well. He’s amazing! Everything was perfect! ❤️

Awesome tour guide, incredible memory!
Words can’t describe how amazing this experience was! James was so friendly and he took great care of our group. He shared so much helpful information along the way, and went the extra mile to help us find all the animals we wanted to see! The accommodations exceeded my expectations, too and the food was outstanding. I highly recommend James and Jocky Tours for an incredible experience and memory of a lifetime!

In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best.
Masai Mara review
We had taken the Masai Mara trip with Jocky Tours. In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best. We recommend a Matatu over the Landcruiser as it's cheaper and nearly same experience.
The communication over email and phone was perfect.
A longer feedback follows. They picked us up promptly from our place. We had a good drive with Simon to Masai Mara. The road is not very good but Simon was a skilled driver. The lenchada camp site was very good and our tent was really comfortable. During the game drives, Simon was very actively coordinating with others to make sure we see as much game as possible and was also very knowledgeable. He told us about the living habits, gestation period and breeding habits of each of the species. They also made us see the sunrise in the national park which was amazing.
The Masai village tour was also fun.
Overall we recommend the tours and ask for Simon as your driver and guide. He is really friendly. We saw a lot of game, great wildlife, good car and an amazing tour.

Albert was a great guide! Very chill, kind, and let us do all the things we wanted!
The tour was overall great! We got to see all the animals we wanted and also got to eat a lot of yummy Kenyan food as well. One thing I do want people to know about the tour though is the car rides are very long and if you get car sick easily this is one thing I would like you to take under consideration. But besides that, it’s great! Thank you for an awesome 4 days!!
