5-star life experience with our guide Solomon
The 5 days safari with jocky tours was by far our best experience ever! 5 days full of adventure where we did Safari , game drives , boat ride , cycling and hiking.
Our guide Solomon made sure to make our experience unforgettable, he is a very knowledgeable and humble person , he answered all our questions and even explained a lot of details about the local life in Masai . He was very patient with us and made sure to take action when we requested something ( for example he bought a WiFi package and shared it with us ). We also appreciate the extra effort he made to make our experience even better : for the full masai mara day we were supposed to go back at 16h but our guide did extra hours to show us even more animals ( watching baby lions with the sunset will stick in my head for a while ).
First 2 days we were amazed by the beauty of Masai Mara Parc, we almost saw every possible animal there except the leopard, but we were lucky enough to witness some great things like group of lions hunting, a group of Cheetah eating fresh food , like baby lions ect .. 3rd day we visited the Masai village where we got close to the local people and learned about their life . 4th day we spend it in lake Nakuru where we saw tons of beautiful birds and we had a nice boat ride in lake Naivasha in the afternoon
5th day was a nice cycling experience in hells gate and we finished with a nice hiking experience
In total we did everything that was promised in the package ( we had to pay extra for some activities that were not included in the plan but it was definitely worth it )
I would definitely recommend this experience and you would be lucky if your guide is Solomon

Very professional
I had an unforgettable safari experience, thanks to the friendly and knowledgeable guide who ensured our safety while bringing us incredibly close to the animals in their natural habitat. The communication was excellent, the service top-notch, and the entire tour offered great value for money. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast or a first-timer, this reliable and thrilling safari is a must-do for anyone wanting to witness the beauty of nature up close. Highly recommended!

Moses guide made the difference
I booked a 6-day budget tour with Lenchada Safaris:
Mara-Nakuru-Amboseli.
At the last minute they made me change to go in the Jocky Tours Jeep since they were all in pairs and I was alone: there was a free seat next to the driver.
Here, my new companions had paid $50 less.
In addition, the manager of Lenchada Safaris wanted to charge me another $50 more than the price agreed months before.
We had agreed that I would pay in € in cash at the right conversion rate compared to $, but when I got there he wanted to charge me €20 more than the right rate.
I'm sorry because I should have given this extra money to my guide.
However,
apart from this, I was very lucky to experience my safari with Jocky Tours.
I give 5 stars thanks to my guide Moses, who made the difference.
He tried in every way to show us the best he could, on the first full day at the Masai Mara I had already seen the Big Five, + much more.
He is an excellent driver, multitasking, knows the animals well and shares everything he knows about them.
He has the eyesight of an eagle and often manages to spot animals before anyone else and anticipate their behavior, placing the Jeep in the best spot to make the participants take the best photos.
In fact, many times it was him who opened our eyes on what to photograph, for example with the trees as a background, the sunset etc.
he is very patient, he always asked before leaving if it was ok for everyone, what we preferred to do etc.
Always with a smile.
Lenchada tourist camp is beautiful, excellent staff and the food is good.
The Masai village costs $15, it is optional, be aware that you will be asked for donations for the village, they will try to sell you things insistently, even at high prices; in + you will visit the school and enter the classroom with the children, here too a donation is requested at the end.
Powerful experience.
Live these things consciously and serenely trying to understand the context.
The hotel near Lake Nakuru was ok, it also had a swimming pool and a gym.
the Nyati Camp Amboseli was ok, in my room however there were many cockroaches, only in mine, not in my companions'...
They asked me if I wanted to change my room but I let it go.
I recommend it.
Thanks Moses, I wish you the best.
Ciao!!

Robin was the best! He is very knowledgeable, hardworking and fun to be around.
I highly recommend booking with jocky tours. Everything was well organized and we had an amazing time. Our tour guide Robin made our trip even more enjoyable. He went above and beyond, making sure we got the best views of the animals, taking pictures of all of us and always checking on us making sure we’re ok. He is full of knowledge and taught us so many interesting things about the animals. We had loads of fun on this tour and were well taken care of, 10/10 experience!

All in all it was a very fun experience. The operator Andrew took his time for our needs. The agency was really helpful and easy to communicate with. All people in the camp were nice and friendly. Andrew was a very entertaining and kind person
Very informative and funny, easy going
The safari tour was great! Andrew was such a nice guy, and this journey would not have been the same without him!
We did the budget options, which was really exiting and gave us real insight to life on the african savanna.
Our guide was a really good driver, and made sure we always felt safe in the Kenyan traffic. Lifetime experience. Lifelong memories.

Gret driver, overall very good experience
We had Andrew as driver. He made sure we had the best experience. At the time we ordered the Safari, we were unsure beacuse it was cheap, but it went over all expectations.

I’d say they are dedicated to giving you the most amazing safari experience!
Our safari experience at the Masai Mara was truly unforgettable, and a large part of that was thanks to our exceptional driver, Andrew. He was not only cheerful and welcoming but also highly efficient and organized throughout the trip. Andrew made sure that every moment in the park was maximized, ensuring we saw most of the animals on our list. His knowledge of the park and keen sense of timing made the days an adventure. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—thank you, Andrew, for making our safari so memorable!
