The best safari guide!
Overall, I really enjoyed my experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris.
Booking: I booked with Jocky Tours only two weeks before my planned safari, and they were very responsive and accommodating. They answered all of my questions via WhatsApp within three to four days, and I was able to pay a deposit to secure my trip easily. Communication was a bit limited in the period immediately before the trip, which initially concerned me, but they ensured that all logistics and details were taken care of before departure.
Accommodations: I stayed at Jambo Mara, a mid-range accommodation option that was perfect for the trip. My guide helped me check in and out and coordinated my lunches with the lodge, which made everything very smooth. The lodge itself was clean, safe, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. Beverages other than bottled water were not included, but this was communicated clearly beforehand. After long days on safari, the hot shower and large, comfortable bed were exactly what I needed. The food was good overall, though it left a little to be desired at times. My favorite part was the live cooking station, especially the omelets, noodles, and pasta dishes.
Guide: The most important part: the safari guide. I had John Walter, also known as “John of the Jungle,” and I would 1000% recommend requesting him if possible. He was charming, funny, knowledgeable, and extremely kind.
During our first afternoon game drive, we saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, and multiple female lions-all within the first three hours. On our second day, he asked what we most wanted to see and managed to help us find nearly all of it. He made a real effort to introduce us to new animals rather than repeatedly stopping at species we had already seen.
John was truly a 5/5 guide, and I feel very fortunate to have had him for this experience.

THE BEST SAFARI TOUR OPERATORS!
This has been the best experience of my life and I am so glad I chose Jocky Tours. We had Geeman as our tour guide and he was the best. He showed us every single animal, knew all the spots, he updated us every step of the way and told us some great facts about the animals. He made the experience amazing. He drove so well, not bumpy or dangerous. He also arranged for me and my wife to sit with each other especially. Great tour guide and honestly worth every single penny

An incredible experience with our guide, John Walker
Everything went well with Jocky Tours. I contacted them directly by email to make the booking, and they were always clear with all the information.
As for the safari, everything went to plan. Our guide John Walker really enhanced the experience. He was always very talkative, good-humoured and full of energy. He knew exactly how the animals would behave.
We went for the budget option, so we stayed in low-budget camps. Even so, they were all in very good condition and very clean. The only downside was the time wasted picking people up and dropping them off at the camps, but as it was a budget experience and we were sharing a car, there’s no way round that. I highly recommend the agency and, above all, the guide John Walker.

It met expectations.
Thank you for ensuring customer satisfaction and allowing us to enjoy the safari; the service is highly recommended. I visited with family and friends, and I believe they will be getting in touch as well. Our guide, David, was very friendly and knowledgeable; he made the stay more pleasant and enjoyable, playing a key role in the group's positive experience. Accommodation and meals were provided without a hitch and met all expectations.
