Incredible and very recommended experience
If I had to sum up my experience in one word, this would be incredible. Jocky Tours is a serious and reliable company (they even helped us with the train tickets) , and what can I say about Dennis (our guide and driver)? He was kind, patient, respectful, and always looking out for us. I definitely recommend this company, and if you're lucky to have a guide like him, your experience for sure will be fantastic!

Very good service for its money
The service was nice, t
He 7-days programm is full of adventures. And Papa John is a very good driver, he was always on the right place and right time to show us the big five, hyppos, flamingos and give us funny storiies about each of them

Hire professionnals
Accommodation was fine and according to expectation (that's the +1 star) but the guide Solomon, rather call him the driver was not at the level at all: confusions on accommodation places and morning meeting hours, not very good placement during safaris, no communication, vague and short answers, question able eyesight for animals with no binoculars of his own.
Add to it an old car not very confortable full of 8 people from 3 différent agencies, and with car radio not working, i call it amateurism as you can find Chinese talkie radio for 30-35usd only ! All car passengers agreed on it.
Result: no bearded lion, no leopard spotted meaning no Big five completed.
For 1500usd/pax for 6 days (even 2000 for some other passengers), you are in the right to expect better as we feel guide accounts for a good 60% of experience.
It was even more frustrating as on the final transfer from office to hotel, another guide of this agency Louis explained us far more things about the animals in 20mins than Solomon in 6 days... Then maybe kind of bad luck on the 20 drivers they have, still HUGE disappointment on our main yearly trip.
So i want to mostly blame here the agency who appointed us someone not tailored for this job who they should propose to reconvert as maybe taxi driver... And despite reclamations during trip agency did not agree to change driver halfway as well.
I wont redo it and definitely dont recommend this agency and its sisters (jungle roam/jocky tours/Big five).

someone who is trying really hard to give you the best safari experience ever
This is easily one of the best experiences i had in my whole life. The first day we got to see all of the big five! We even got to see sunset in the safari. The tour operator was very nice and provided us with a lot of interesting information about the animals.

The tour operator did an excellent job from the start to the finish.
Jocky Tours was one of the highlights of our trip. They delivered everything that they have said, from communication prior to the arrival and between our tour. Our guide Johnny Jackson was excellent. He tried his best to show us all of the big 5 and even more than that. If I would book Kenya safari again I would definitely choose him and Jocky tours. Value for money is more than worth it.
