Great safari experience
We did 4 days of budget safari at Masai Mara and lake Nakuru as a group of 6 and it was our first time doing safari. Our overall experience with Jocky tours was absolutely great. Before going there, the communication was always fast via email and they were very polite and helpful (special thanks to Minneh). When we tried to handle our e-visas in last minute, they helped out to speed up to approval process which was very important.
When we finally got there, our driver was Jimmy and we were very happy to have him. He is an amazing driver in every sense- I didn’t really get the driving comments before this experience but this skill is very much needed to have 10/10 experience and he is very good about it. He is also very polite, did his best to show the big 5 and others and always tried to get the best possible spot to watch the animals.
Facility wise, I think the camp option (lenchada deluxe tent) was definitely better than expectations, the food was really ok and tasty even, you have your own bathroom and beds are comfortable enough.Of course it’s still a budget tent camp so you should really set your expectations accordingly.The hotel option at lake Nakuru is more proper hotel option and also had good food.Food wise we didn’t like the 2 lunches we ate along the way, especially on the way to Nakuru was really bad, so those can be improved.
All in all, I would totally recommend this company.

Amazing Experience
We embarked on a 4-day budget safari adventure to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru as a group of six. Our overall experience with Jocky Tours was truly outstanding. From the outset, their communication was swift and courteous through email, and they provided invaluable assistance, especially thanks to Minneh, who helped expedite our last-minute e-visa approvals.
Upon arrival, our driver, Jimmy, proved to be a remarkable asset. His exceptional driving skills, which I had underestimated previously, were crucial for a flawless 10/10 safari experience. Jimmy was not only a skilled driver but also exceptionally polite, dedicated to showcasing the "big five" and other wildlife, and always striving to secure the best vantage points for animal sightings.
Regarding accommodations, the camp option, specifically the Lenchada Deluxe Tent, exceeded our expectations. The food was surprisingly good, and the tents featured private bathrooms and reasonably comfortable beds. It's important to remember that this is still a budget tent camp, so expectations should be adjusted accordingly. In contrast, the hotel option at Lake Nakuru offered a more conventional hotel experience with commendable food.
The only area for improvement we identified was the quality of the two lunches we had during our journey, particularly the one on the way to Nakuru, which was subpar.
In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend this company for a budget-friendly safari experience.

Absolutely wonderful trip. Everything was so well organized and planned. Our guide Mandela and cook Machete were fantastic! Both were so kind, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable. This is the company to work with if you’re planning a Tanzania safari. You won’t be disappointed.

Knowledgable about the animals. Great host while driving us around.
Went from late May to early June, would recommend this time, very little rain and the weather was perfect. Not during peak season so nothing was overly busy. Great pick up from the airport. Hotels were all very nice. Food was better than expected and had nice chicken/beef with rice and sides everyday for lunch.
