Reviews
A real African experience, well orchestrated and delivered!
My family had a wonderful 3-day Safari experience in the Masai Mara. The accommodation at the Camp was clean and very comfortable. How amazing to be woken by the sound of wild animals lurking just outside your tent. Meals were good and served timeously.
Viewing the big 5 in one day was incredible and happened due to the enthusiasm of our tour guide, helped by communications with his colleagues providing the same service in other vehicles. Our guide, Jimmy, could not do enough to make our stay memorable! He has a wonderful sense of humour, fantastic driving skills, great knowledge of the Masai Mara and the animals therein; an all-around great guy! He deserves to enjoy every success in his career. We wish him and his family well.
Value for money was good however, the Operator stated that WiFi was available at Lenchada Camp. This was not the case. Overall we would thoroughly recommend using this tour service.

Good value for the money
We were looking for a budget safari and chosed Jocky Tours because of the good reviews - and we are very happy about it!
Our 5 day safari tour was amazing, we saw so many animals and really enjoyed the
various activities: evening game drive and full day in Masai Mara, visit to an Masai village, Nakuru national park, boat ride in Lake Naivasha… And most important: we saw the big 5, and it would not have been possible without our guide Alex. He was very dedicated and passionate about the animals, he knew much about them and answered all our questions. He is also a superb driver!
The accommodation and food was also way over what we expected.
We are super happy about our tour and will remember it 4ever - we can really recommend Jocky Tours!

Amazing experience!
The Masai Mara safari was amazing! Our guide David was super friendly and helpful. He explained us many things about animals and he did his best so we could see many of them during the safari. David is super kind and funny so we had a great time with him! He explained us so much absolutely Kenya, the local communities and nature that made this experience unique.
We stayed at a Enkorok which served amazing food and the tent was really comfortable. The staff was really helpful as well.
It was a unique experience!! Highly recommended!!

Amazing 6 day Safari - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli
We had a great experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris. I did a private 6-day Safari with friends and I had a pleasant time. Communication was quick and easy. Our guide, Andrew, always made us feel safe in the car and he was always ready to answer our questions.
In conclusion, I would recommend doing a safari with Jocky Tours and with Andrew as a guide.

Excellent private Safari : Maasai Mara - Nakuru - Amboseli
We did a private safari with a group of 6 friends for 6 days. It was amazing!!!
Our driver, Andrew, was perfect. Andrew was a good driver since he drove well and cautiously, and knew the Parks thoroughly, its shortcuts and the places to avoid. In addition, he answered to all our questions.
In detail, early in the morning, as schedule Andrew took us from Nairobi to go to Maasai Mara. We arrived at the Lenchada Tent Camp in the early afternoon where we had lunch. After that we had an amazing game drive inside the park till the sunset. We were lucky because we saw 3 of the 5 big five (buffalos, elephants and a leopard). Dinner in the Camp and bonfire with some Maasai.
Next day, a full day game drive inside the park where we saw lions and we went close to the border with Tanzania where we had a walk and pick-nick. Once back, Andrew suggested us to go to the Maasai village nearby. It was quite interesting and a unique experience.
The day after, we left to Nakuru. But fist, as recommended by Andrew we stoped at Naivasha Lake where we had a boat safari and a walk through animals (zebras, giraffes....). It was so cool!!!
After that, the following morning we had a nice game driving in Nakuru where there were lot of rhinos! It was so nice. Then straight to Amboseli. Once in the lodge, we had a problem with the rooms but Andrew solved it and everything then was cool. We were lucky because we saw the Kilimangiaro despite having been almost cover by clouds. Andrew helped us to find lions, it was amazing!
In conclusion, the experience was excellent. We saw 3 parks and all the big 5. We stayed, first, in a tent, then in a hotel, finally in a lodge. As a consequence, we had a full experience. The 4x4 jeep was the best choice since we could go without any problem everywhere (of course, only in the dedicated streets inside the park ;)).
I would like to thank Andrew and Jocky Tours and Safaris for the Safari.

Very nice, kind and patient, always ready to give infos about parks and animals.
This 6-day safari was fantastic. Andrew, the tour operator, was very nice and friendly, was always ready to answer our questions, and he put a lot of effort to find the perfect spots to see the animals (also great choice of music!).
Everything was as described in the program they gave us before we left and the accommodations were even better than expected. Also, there was a small problem with the rooms the last day and Andrew made sure to fix it!
I would definitely recommend this tour, and the tour operator, it is 100% worth it, but obviously some luck with the animals is needed!
One important tip: be sure to bring warm clothes with you because the temperature may be very low in the early morning and at night!

Patient and passionate about his job
Communications always clear. Andrew has always been willing to explain the context and to suit our needs.
The price we payed is worth both the experience and the service provided.
Andrew has always been reliable and precise with the timetable.
Overall, the tour has been a wonderful experience.

Unique experience
We choose the budget 6 days safari incl. Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. Masai Mara and Amboseli was really incredible. We will never forget this experience. Due to water level increase not all Roads in NP Nakuru can be used.
Your experiences will highly depend on the Tour guide. We couldnt Image a better guide than Ben. Make sure you will get him as well.
Honestly, for us it makes no sense to book a luxury safari. You will spend most of the time in the NP … and there it makes no difference.

Great safari tour and good Organisation.
We as a couple are super happy with jocky tours. We booked a 7 day budget safari tour (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli) and our tour was exactly and even better than expected (especially with the animals we had more luck than expected). The car, the general organisation and accommodations were as expected and good for safari. After a little mixup with one of the accommodations, they could manage it very fast to get our booked one. Special thanks to our great driver Evans. Evans was our driver, guide and caretaker for the total week and we felt totally comfortable and safe.
He found all of the animals we wanted to see and even more. He was well connected to mostly all the other drivers and locals.
So we would highly recommend to do the trip with Evans, and many thanks to him (the other drivers should be also very good as other tourists told us). So we are very happy with this great experience and would nothing change if we would do the safari once again!
