It was was a very good Safari. We got to see all the big five, which is really rare. The drivers drove a little fast and they were sometimes maybe a bit to close to the animals. But it was worth the money and we had a lot of fun!

Majestic!
We are a group of 5 who booked via safari bookings website for a four day tour. Jockey tours was excellent in accommodating our needs, we changed the hotel pick up several times and that was not a problem (Hakuna Matata).
In short: Francis, our tour guide, is the BEST tour guide you can wish for! Extremely knowledgeable of all the different reserves, different animals and information about all the animals. He has worked as a tour guide for 13+ years and you can imagine the knowledge as his father was also a tour guide. Very well connected with other tour operators and reserve rangers and you will be able to see at least 30 different type of animals on any day!
Francis loves what he does and that spills out into positivity while on the tour! He has two rules: Be Positive and Be Patient :)
In length:
We were picked up at the hotel on the first day and we head to their office to pay for the tour. Then we head to Maasai Reserve. On the way, we stopped at the Great Rift viewpoint (unlucky for us there were clouds). Upon reaching the reserve, you have lunch, settle in your tents and then go for a Game Drive for a couple of nights before ending the day.
Next day is an early rise for a full day at the Maasai Reserve with a picnic in wild. We saw everything from elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, wild beasts, buffalos to cheetahs and lions. (Among many others)
You have the option to get a tour of Alligators and Hippos for a small charge of (200 shillings pp).
Third day you can elect either for a tour of the Maasai Village ($20 USD pp) which we went for or a hot air ballon tour. The Village was very interesting and worthwhile. You get a touch of how the Maasai live and their culture. The rest of the day is the drive to Nakuru.
Last day we had more Game Drives at Nakuru national park and saw Beautiful Rhinos and flamingos!
Highly recommend this experience and specifically request for Francis!

Amazing operator with great guides
I travelled to Masai Mara with Jocky tours and I absolutely loved the service. We started with a stop at the Rift valley, which had spectacular views. Then we had a long drive to the Mara. Solomon was an amazing guide and a lovely driver. He drove v carefully and made sure we were always comfortable.
I really loved our group as well!! Some of the best people I’ve met.
Solomon took us on a game drive on the first day and knew all places to find animals. We were lucky to see alot of them on the first day itself.
We stayed at the Lenchada camp, which was not great, but given the price, it was pretty good.
We had good food and a decent tent and bed.
The second day was amazing. Solomon took us so close to the animals that it was amazing. Saw the Big 4. Missed the rhinos though :(
Unimaginable fun!!
We came back the 3rd day and Solomon found a route better for us as it had no traffic.
I would most definitely recommend Jocky tours to everyone!!

I loved every minute!
The guide had a lot of knowledge, but did not share too much. Every question got answered without hesitation and was very understandable. The guide knew where to search for the animals and saw all big five and more. The only negative was that the driver drove a little too close to some lions.

he's a fun and nice guy
Being able to see a variety of wild animals on safari gave Jinsei a colorful experience. They drove aggressively to get some surprises. It was the best.

A kind and brave driver
Among the Big 5, lions, elephants, leopards and buffalo were seen very close. I'm very satisfied to see the cheetah so close that I can't believe it.
1.5 days of safari tours, tent accommodation, and meals were all included, and I felt that $340 was a very good deal.
It was also very fun to pay an additional $20 and go to the village of Masai and see their dance and house.

Unforgettable safari experience with Jeff - A true gem
O ur six-day safari exploring Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli was an absolute dream come true, and it wouldn’t have been the same without our incredible tour guide and driver, Jeff. We had the most unforgettable adventure.
Jeff’s knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture was truly impressive. He effortlessly shared fascinating facts and stories about the animals we encountered, making every moment on the safari educational and engaging.
Not only was Jeff an exceptional guide and amazing driver but he also had an great ability to spot wildlife from a distance. It seemed like he had a sixth sense for finding the most elusive creatures, and we were fortunate enough to witness some truly remarkable sightings.
Jeff’s driving skills were equally commendable. Navigating through rugged terrains and challenging road conditions, he ensured our safety and comfort throughout the journey. His expertise behind the wheel allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes, without a single worry.
What truly set Jeff apart was his warm and friendly nature. We cannot express our gratitude enough for Jeff’s exceptional service and dedication. We finished our safari with a deep appreciation for its wildlife and culture, and it’s all thanks to Jeff.
The agency was great, they answered all our questions when we had them and they were very supportive in helping us designing the perfect trip. Everything we talked was fulfilled.
If you’re planning a safari adventure in Kenya, we wholeheartedly recommend Jocky Tours and requesting Jeff as your tour guide and driver. His expertise, will undoubtedly make your journey an unforgettable one. Thank you, Jeff and Jocky, for an extraordinary experience that will forever hold a special place in our hearts!

Amazing 2nights/3days Safari with guide Andrew!!
We booked the tour online in advance via mail and everything went perfect. Quick communication. Food/drinks all included. Two nights at the amazing Lenchada camp, basic but good! Food was nice and people very nice as well. During the safari Andrew was our guide and he did an amazing job. He was dedicated to show us as much as possible of the animals and was also making sure everybody was pleased at all times. I definitely recommend this tour. Amazing price/quality ratio. Also Andrew was a very good driver on the sometimes difficult roads, we always felt very safe! Thx once again to Andrew!! Also a +1 for the music in the car during the long drive from Nairobi.

It was a stunning experience with many beautiful sceneries, animals and people
Before the tour the communication was sometimes slowly. Apart from that everything was excellent. I loved to visit all those beautiful national parks and to see so many different animals. The people were very kind. The driver, whose name is Albert, was very well-managed, relaxed and knew how to handle everything. I’ve never experienced someone with such great driving skills before. The accommodations were fine and each time we got a better one than before. The first park was stunning because of the scenery and the huge amount of different animals (Masai Mara), the second (Lake Nakuru) was beautiful especially because of the lake and the different birds, the third one (Amboseli) even got a lion family living in it and we saw the great Kilimanjaro.
It was a great and stunning experience and the company is reliable.
