Value for money
Had a lovely 4 day private tour with Yasin to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha & Lake Nakuru. As a birdwatcher I was pleased that Yasin knew the birds well and we found many species to add to my list. Jocky Tours was considerably cheaper than competitors without compromise on quality.

He made our wild trip a memorable experience.. he was funny, helpfull and also always trying his best to find animals and to make the game drive in the park exciting..

Impeccable service!
We spent 7 days in 4 different parks in Kenya. The tour was customized by Jocky Tours according to our needs directly from Italy.
The vehicle was fabulous and our driver Jack (aka JJ) super professional, nice and accommodating to some of our requests.
Highly recommended for those who want to live a 360 degree wild experience!

Safari with jeep
Excellent value for money, in total we did 7 days of tour with this agency and we always had the same driver Jack said Jj.
He was really professional and personable throughout the tour.
We did the tour in the tented camps, of course if you are expecting a luxurious tent ask if you want to pay a slight difference for a different solution or a Lodge.
The food offered is good, but as an Italian I found it very repetitive, Kenyan cuisine is good but if you eat chicken with rice or beef with rice for 7 days, you don't have it anymore.
I highly recommend this agency!

Great experience
The whole Safari planned by Jocky Tours, was an amazing experience. Jocky Tours met the expectations that we had, with the best accommodation, facilities & services. Our driver Albert was excellent! He tried to please us by seeking the animals we asked for and he always had the instinct to find lions & leopards, that are the hardest to find and watch.
Everything was great and we would love to travel again in Kenya and have the Safari experience with Albert as our driver.
One suggestion for future travelers, it would be regarding the Hell Gate, that we went the last day, which wasn’t really worth it. It will be better like to have stay more at the Naivasha Sopa or have a trip in Crescent Island instead.
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

Great organisation and amazing guide!
We went to Kenya in a family trip (6 people) and had the most amazing time during our Safari with Jocky Tours & Safaris! We went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli, for 5 days, and every moment was great.
Jimmy was our guide and we would choose him again if we return, he is incredibly nice, always available for any question, patient and has great knowledge on the animals and the wildlife. We got to see lots of animals and even a hunting!
The accommodations were nice, we loved Enkorok (Masai Mara) and AA Lodge (Amboseli). Both had great rooms and good food. Lanet Matfam (Nakuru) was not out favorite since it was a bit noisy and the rooms weren't great.
Just one thing that didn't go well - we had asked for a 4x4 and got the normal van since this request was made via whatsapp and they forgot to arrange it - make sure you email every important matter. Despite that, overall the organisation was incredible, the price for quality is totally worth it and we recommend this company!

Perfect safari
Everything as expected and discussed with them, after having spoken with them by mail and doing a tailor-made safari for us. Everything was perfect from the pick-up at the airport until they dropped us back there. The hotels and the camp were much better than expected despite having chosen the basic option.
We got to see the big5 and hundreds of animals, and thanks to our driver, Charles, we always had the best spot for photos. We would repeat without a doubt

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.
