Great experience
Overall, the experience was amazing. We saw so many animals, more than I expected in December. The big bonus is being able to see a lot of these animals quite up close - might have been our luck!
The guide (Johnny Jackson) is fantastic. He's passionate about animals and went above and beyond for us all to have a great experience. Thank you Johnny!!
They have 4x4 vehicles designed for safaris which is a must at the park terrain - saw some two wheel vehicles (vans) and they kept getting stuck in various places so we had a huge advantage!
The budget camp was ok, they have hot water and wholesome food. Beware of baboons trying any unzipped tents though. ;)
The massive benefit of the camp was being able to talk to the local Masai who work there and ask them about their experiences and how they live their lives.
The company could improve on communication though. For example, I have been told they will come pick me up at 7.30 and they were already there at 7 so I had to make them wait. They also didn't tell me the name or the phone number of the person picking me up so it was difficult to know if it's genuine or not, getting into a stranger's car. The booking experience was also a little odd, again, difficult to judge if genuine or not, so had to go with the flow and trust the reviews.
If the company improved on these things, there's really nothing else that could be better. I had the time of my life I will always remember. I highly recommend this safari company.

Amazing !
My trip to Kenya with Albert was absolutely fabulous! Every moment was a true discovery, from the 7 days safari where we had the chance to see the all the “Big Five,” . Albert, our guide, really added a unique dimension to the experience with his fascinating knowledge of local wildlife and culture. Furthermore, he allowed us to get incredibly close to the animals, which was a dream come true.
However, there was one small downside: the Chambai hotel, where the food was unfortunately not up to par. It was a disappointment in what was otherwise an amazing trip. I would recommend reconsidering your accommodation options if you want to fully enjoy your stay.
Everything was really well organise !!!
Despite this little detail, the trip will remain etched in my memory, and I highly recommend this adventure,

Jocky Tours surprising
Jocky Tours has very competitive prices and very good quality. The guide Evans was very experienced and could always find the best spot to see all the animals during the safari, very very close experience. The jeep and the accomodations were very good. All the timings were organized in a perfect way to fix our needs. I recommend this tour 100%.

Very good bang for the buck operator. Very very good.
From the planning phase, the tour operator was always very informative and kept to the planned itinerary, no surprises along the way. It was all as described. I’m very glad we hired Jocky tours for our first time in Africa. I highly recommend it.

Amazing experience in Masai Mara
The weekend in Masai Mara was amazing. Everything was perfectly organized. Our guide Papa gave everything during the Game Drive, so that we see many different kinds of wild animals. I would definitely recommend!

they provide really good service
Going Safari with Jockey was really good decision. They provided all the information that I needed and executed the tour very well. Francis, our guide and driver, was really nice and treated us good. He knew how to find the animal during the safari and met us our expectation.

David is HANDS DOWN the best guide you can ever have.
My family and I had an incredible tour with Jocky Tours. They managed everything, from hotel pickup to meals and itinerary organization. Our guide, David, was fantastic—knowledgeable, funny, and attentive to all our questions.
We loved the itinerary, which included Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. In Maasai Mara, we saw six lions, five cheetahs, leopards, and more. We also visited a Maasai village, we brought sweets for the children and learned about their traditions. Lake Nakuru was a bird lover's paradise with black and white rhinos, while Lake Naivasha offered a fun hippo boat tour.
Hell's Gate surprised us with its moderate hiking and climbing, made enjoyable by our local guide, Simon. The guides truly brought the experience to life!

The tour was overall good. Kiki is the best tour guide. However, there was one issue: We were told that the visit to the Maasai village was optional, but it felt almost mandatory to participate, and during the tour, we were heavily encouraged to purchase many items. If you do not wish to participate, please be cautious about this.

The safari game tour was amazing but we were guided to the masai village although we did not request the option. We had to pay additional fee which was a little disappointing to end our tour.
