Reliable, professional and eager provider.
We spontaneously booked a 3-day safari to the Masai Mara National Reserve with Jocky Tours and Safaris because of the good reviews and the reasonable price. The communication was quick and smooth from the beginning. On the discussed day our guide, Joshua, picked us up punctually at the hotel and drove with us to the office to clarify the payment. Afterwards we drove over the Rift Valley to the Masai Mara National Reserve.
Joshua shone throughout the trip with his extensive knowledge of Kenya's nature and culture and we could tell that it was personally important to him to impart knowledge to us. He has 17 years of experience as a tour guide and already during the first afternoon gamedrive we could see many animals (including cheetahs and lions). The next day, we were still missing leopards, we could also discover these. Since we are interested in all animals of Kenya, we also talked a lot with Joshua about the local bird species and he could teach us a lot about the birds.
Joshua was very keen to give us the best possible time, which he absolutely succeeded in doing! The communication with the office and Joshua was impeccable. The accommodation we booked was clean and everyone was helpful and friendly. The food was traditional Kenyan food and fantastic - it tasted like grandma's.
Arrangements were kept, the price-performance ratio is unbeatable and things forgotten by us were even brought independently to the hotel. Gladly, gladly again. Thank you for the unforgettable time!

Best price, great experience, can absolutely recommend
Joshua was an amazing and experienced guide who showed us so many things and had a lot of knowledge about the animals and the park. The accommodation and meals (typical food for Kenya) were also really good and as a solo Traveller I had a whole three bed tent including a bathroom to myself. Also the pickup from my Airbnb to the safari jeep and and after the safari from the jeep to the giraffe centre went smoothly with Daniel as a great and friendly diver.
I can definitely recommend this trip and also spending the extra money for the jeep instead of the van. It will give you a smoother ride, you won’t get stuck as much and will be able to explore more places.
So 10/10 experience! If you get the chance, choose Joshua or Daniel and go for the 4x4 Jeep :)

Jeff was the best tour operator, he made our trip excellent.
Everithing was easy with Jocky Tours. The communication is excellent, every questions get answered. The paying method was easy. Jeff, the tour operator was at the hotel in time. He helped us a lot. The way from Nairobi to Maasai Mara was 5 hours, but we stopped more times to rest or eat. The safari started before the check-in because of traffic jam, but it was perfect for us. We have seen lots of animals in April (off-season), and there weren't too much safari cars in the park. The one night tent accomodation was great. Food was enough and good. On the second daily, we started with a 4 hour safari before going back to Nairobi. We were lucky, because we saw leopard, lions and cheetahs as well. For this money, I think it's definitely worth it.

Unforgettable safari at Masai Mara National Reserve & Hike to Mt. Lonngonot
We've been on a 3-day trip to Masai Mara National Reserve & Mount Longonot. Our tour guide Dennis was very kind and made a huge effort to give us a really great experience! He made sure we could see as many different animals as possible and shared a lot of facts and knowledge about the animals with us. As a huge cat fan, I almost cried while facing lions, cheetahs and even a leopard. We saw a lot of things and had a whole adventure, especially because it rained when we started our first Safari trip. The roads were a bit bumpy from time to time and we got covered in mud, but as scouts we didn't care, we actually rather enjoyed it. We even got stuck in the mud two times, but there were many helpful people there to pul us out. A whole adventure!! Also the boat safari at Lake Naivashi was great.
For the Hike to Mount Longonot we had a different guide, Daniel, who took real good care of us, especially because I was suffering from dizzines, but he would keep encouraging me so I could finish the hike around the crater.
After the hike Dennis made sure we could take a shower before bringing us to the airport safely through rush hour. Asante sana!!! It was a real pleasure!

Knowledgeable, engaging, and considerate
Raheem at Jocky Tours made our last minute safari trip one of the best ideas we have ever had. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable and we learned and saw so much on our safari to Amboseli. He knew exactly where all the animals would be and planned the timings and safari in such a way that we would be at the right place at the right time. He put in extra effort to make sure we were comfortable and engaged us with interesting facts throughout the trip. He was also very patient with the million questions we asked. The safari camp we stayed at (arranged by Jocky) was also great.
I would highly recommend Raheem at Jocky Tours if you are looking for a fantastic safari getaway.

Extremely accommodating, friendly and high knowledge of wildlife and Kenya.
Unforgettable experience with Jocky Tours! We were happy all around with our guide, the stays and the program. Our guide, Dennoh, was able to answer all of our questions and provided us with ample information about the wildlife and culture of Kenya. He was also extremely accommodating to our requests. We saw 4 of the Big Fives in the Maasai Mara Park (no Rhino - rather rare in the Maasai Mara Park).
We booked a tailor made 3 day tour with Jocky Tours. 2 day safari in Maasai Mara Park, a boat trip on Lake Naivasha and at the end a hike on Mount Longonot. Price/performance ratio was great!
jfyi: for 5 star resorts darlings not the best stay in Maasai Mara Park.

Did their utmost!
Our driver Evans had a great service attitude! He was also in contact with other safari driver to find the animal. We even managed to see the rhino, even if it was briefly, as they are reclusive.
Evans also has very sharp and practiced eyes of his own; managed to notice what little was visible of a shaded cheetah and it's catch.
The use of a Land Cruiser instead of a van was also good in getting to some of the places.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure with the Best Guide - Jimmy!
I have spent the last day’s on an unforgettable safari adventure to Masai Mara. From start to finish, our experience was absolutely amazing, and it was all due to Jimmy's exceptional skills, knowledge, and genuine passion for the wildlife. Throughout the trip, he shared fascinating insights about the animals, their behaviors, and the unique ecosystem of the Masai Mara. His knowledge and experience were truly impressive, and we learned so much during our time with him.
It felt like we were on a magical wildlife treasure hunt, as we were able to see many various species and Jimmy was always quick on any leads to come close to the Big Fives!

Discovering the Mara with Jimmy
Jimmy was a great driver and guide! We booked a private safari on a 4x4 Jeep which was the best call. We could tailor our experience to our needs and even on the most difficult terrain we were flying over any obstacles. Jimmy made sure all our needs were met and looked after us during our three day tour which is more then enough for most adventurous travelers.

It not just professional, but also helpful and efficient support for my whole trip in Kenya.
I'm in a 5-guy safari, and we had a good time. I havon a 5-guy safari, and we had a good time, so much fun! I have to say, my driver, Kikitu is brilliant. Such a lovely guy, also totally a celebrity in the Masai village. He gots tons of knowledge of animals, culture and bad jokes (lol). I'm so lucky to have him as my very first-time safari guide. I will definitely choose him again in my future safari if it's possible.
