Great service at an amazing value
This is my second time using this tour company.
You will not find better service from any other operator in the Masai ( or other parks). The guides are extremely professional, very knowledgeable and attentive to both the wildlife and the clients.
Before transitioning to "private" with John, I was with a group for 1 full day in the Mara. The group was able to see 4 out of the Big 5, missing only the rhino. Though we missed seeing rhino, we did have a gorgeous male Lion cozy up to our front passenger tire.
NO ONE can guarantee your seeing the Big 5, for example. It takes luck and a skilled guide. You will have a very skilled driver, and luck is the residue of careful planning.
IF you can afford to go privately,by all means do so. Albert, Issac and John are all exceptional as both drivers and eagle eye guides. John did an outstanding job of giving me the best viewing ( photographic) opportunities with my personal quest, cheetah cubs.
I was not disappointed. If you choose Jockey Tours, you won't be either.

Best Experience Ever!
We were absolutely thrilled with our trip, thanks to John and Mika!
We are so grateful for welcoming us and providing the best experience possible, it exceeded all our expectations! We believe we got super super lucky with John as our guide, it was a very sad moment to say good bye as we liked him so very much and we couldn’t wish for a better person to show us around and spend all this time with!
We got to see everything we wanted including the Big Five!
We were lucky to see the leopard, cheetah and lions several times.
We had our flight back late in the evening, they were so nice to take their time and show us around the Nairobi city and booked us an amazing restaurant to try all the unusual types or meats, which was a perfect way to finish our extraordinary experience !!!
Thank you thank you thank you! These guys are the best !!!

A must to visit when in Nairobi - wildlife at the doorstep of a metropole
We visited the part on a Sunday morning, where traffic through town is light. It is a fantastic experience to be on the Savanna in wild Africa in just 30 minutes from your hotel downtown. There was lots of wildlife, and the part was not too crowded (off season). Paying with credit card at gate was easy and fast. The drivers were polite and competent. And the booking from the agency smooth.
This is a must do when in Nairobi.

Fantastic wildlife and great hospitality!
We had a fantastic trip and really enjoyed seeing all the wildlife. Seeing chimpanzees, gorillas, lions, leopards, and elephants were some highlights, but all the other animals and birds were also incredible. We experienced lovely hospitality throughout our vacation!

I was only in Botswana for one day, what I saw it was very nice. I was there for a Safari.
It was a great day. Talk about National Geographic! The Boat Safari was very good in the morning. And the Game Drive in the afternoon was wonderful. We had a few families of elephants right beside our vehicle walking right in front of us. My only disappointment was I never saw a Loin right, front and centre. We saw 2 females, quite far away in the bush sleeping. Saw many Giraffes! Just Beautiful! I highly recommend a Safari to Chobe National Park. I has used Aritsamaye Safaris

A hand-held, wonderful tour through Tanzania’s wildlife parks
At every step along the way our family of 5 were cared for and attended to, with special attention given to the kids that was so meaningful! The accommodations and the food were excellent, but it was the attentive staff that put it over the top - both at the resorts and while out on safari. We saw SO many animals! My youngest kept a log and had 52 bird sightings alone in our first park area! We saw lions and leopards and zebras and elephants - all within 10’ of our vehicle!!! Tiny pairs of dik-diks and antelope were abundant. Hippos, giraffes, flamingos, baboon troops, a chameleon, warthogs, even an albino Cape buffalo…we saw a ton of animals bouncing on and off roads. Our guides listened to our hopes and then went looking with their experienced eyes and we saw more than we thought we would. Dancing Zebra Safari set us up for a wonderful tour from even before leaving with good advice on what to pack, etc. Our only challenge on the tour was figuring out how tipping works in Africa. The guide we were given did help, but wished we had read it more thoroughly before leaving so we were prepared with more small bills/cash. If you want a wonderful safari, we highly recommend Dancing Zebra Safari to set you up for the trip if a lifetime!

Jackson & Brian were exceptional!
The guys were always prompt, courteous and pleasant. They kept the vehicles clean and comfortable. It is a blessing to be able to fully trust the ones you hire. They became part of our team, a crucial and welcome addition!

Nice Tour to the Masai Mara with Castro
We did the 3 Day 2 Nights Tour to the Masai Mara. Castro was a very good driver even when the road was sometimes a bit bumpy. We saw all Big 5 and many other animals, it was amazing!

Patrick is the best!!!
Patrick was a fantastic guide! Definitely worth taking a private tour and being with your family or friends. I saw the big five and I also saw the river crossing of the great migration and a credit this all to Patrick.

Attentive
Jimmy was excellent. Not only did he do a great job of finding a ton of animals on the safari and providing insights for each, he also really took care of us. I fell I'll during the safari and he was incredibly attentive.
