Jeff is the best guide you can get! #Spygirl
Jeff was a really good guide! he will answer every question also the silly ones. He make sure we get good pictures and still stay safe in front of the animals. He don't want to get us in danger. He is funny and really patience. He told us a lot about the animals and the kenian culture, i learned a lot this days and can tell some names for the animals (i would not remember if watch a documentary lol) I highly recommend if you wanna book this tour with Jockey Tours that you book it with him. He made this trip better than it already is. And Jeff if you going to read this big big thank you for this 7 day trip it was a pleasure to meet you and i wish you the best for you and your family!

Simply the best!
It will be a long review from me :) I love to write honest review in detail!
About Jocky tour, at the beginning I don’t really like them, they sent me “copy and paste” quotation in a sentence form not in pdf and without photo of the accommodation. I don’t like the way they replied me, I wrote 3 questions and the answered me just one or two of them in a very short sentence.
So I decided to go for another agency which I feel that they are more treasure to their customer or at least I want to feel they want to do business with us.
Somehow they got mistake of the start day and they have no tour on the day we want to go. So I decided to pick jocky because they have thousand of positive reviews.
We started our 7-day-Safari with a guide who is called Jeff (there are three Jeff’s at jocky, so ours is spy girl Jeff). He looks very kind to me. We have 7 people in the jeep. The jeep is in good condition and clean but we got twice flat tire, it’s an adventure lol. You can charge electric devices but not in every seat. There is also free WiFi provided by Jeff. We get small bottle of water every day, all you can drink. 6 nights accommodation, we stayed 4 nights in 2 different tent camps, 2 hotels which surprised us because they are all good, well equipped and clean. About the camp, we loved and could gain experience sleeping in the nature. The last camp in Amboseli was a highlight, we arrived at night in dark. The manager of the camp greeted us from heart. Next day morning we woke up and kilimanjaro appeared clearly in front of us. All staff of all accommodation are amazingly nice and helpful. We thought our tour is in low budget, we will get towels, toilet paper in tents. So that we brought everything with us. In fact, there are private bathroom, toilet, toilet paper and towel provided. In case you are planning to bring these stuff with you, you can just leave it. In the first tent in Masai Mara was very nice but they provide electricity not 24 hours. Which was okay for us. In general, all meals are delicious.
Regarding the itinerary, some people said it’s hard for a 7 day tour because you will be spending so much time in the car, almost 2 days without game drive. My personal experience is, worth it and I don’t feel uncomfortable, we can see the view of kenya, Jeff is a funny guy who you can joke with. During the game drives, he stopped when we ask to, he works 14 years as safari guide, he is experienced who tells you lot of information about different animals, birds and even though plants and trees. He dreamed to be tourist guide when he was kid, so he helps us all the time from his heart. He shows so much his passion and patience. On the last day on the way back to Nairobi, we got flat tire again but it was not easy for him to repair on his own. He wanted to make sure we have no problem of our oncoming journey, he arranged another driver to bring us back to Nairobi, that driver called him right after we go into the car and that driver told me that Jeff was worried about us. Once he knows we are safe and on the way to our destination, he felt relieved. I felt touched and he was really caring about his clients. Thank you very much Jeff, your sweat on the road on the last day hasn’t be vain. You are simply the best and a wonderful tour guide!
Dear all, I highly recommend Jocky tour and if you can request to book a specific guide, try to book Jeff, he will make your memory in Kenya even more special and unforgettable.
Hi Jeff, greetings from Tanzania and we miss you already!

Fantasy trip
Perfect journey! Hotels are extremely luxurious, and you can see all kinds of animals in the hotel. The tour guide is very responsible and punctual, and will consider the feelings of the guests to adjust the journey. Every day safari is unforgettable.

Very well organized. An amazing moment
The tour was overall really well organized, with a good balance between the time spent in the different parks and some resting time as well. The guide is passionated and was eager to share all his knowledge with us. A huge thanks to David who made our journey incredible. Despite the « budget » accommodation package, the places where we stayed were very clean and welcoming.

Dennis, the driver, good job！
Dennis, the driver, worked very hard, and his eyes were very strong, and he could see animals in the distance, and we saw everything we could see except hunting, which was the only regret.

Amazing 7-day safari with our guide Johny
We just finished our 7-day private safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Navaisha and Amboseli. Every park was breathtaking and different. Endless green plains in Masai Mara with abundant wildlife, a prehistoric looking lake with rhinos in Nakuru, hippos with a mysterious island in Navaisha and finally the jawdropping Kilimanjaro with massive herds of elephants in Amboseli. I believe none of these parks should be skipped for the true experience.
Booking was fluent. Payment is best in dollars cash to avoid a credit-card surcharge. Our guide, Johny, was very professional, knowledgeable and he knew all the parks like his back pocket. Highly recommended!
Great experience! Price/value very good!
My partner and I chose for the 7-day safari. We visited the Masai Mara where we slept in a lodge in the parc, the camp was basic but clean. The people were very friendly, the food was basic but very nice! The surveillance in the lodge by the Masai men to protect us against wild animals, made the experience even beter! Further we visited Nakuru and Navaisha where we slept in two hotels, basic but clean and cosy. Before we got to the last park we biked around in Hells Gate, it was amazing to be so close to zebras and girafes! At last we stayed for two days in the AA lodge in Amboseli, where we had a beautiful view on the Kilimanjaro. The lodges were super nice, clean and beautiful!
I would highly recommend the 7-day safari, we saw the big 5, breathtaking landscapes and so much more… Our guide Johny was very friendly, funny and easygoing. He had a great knowledge of the nature and the parks!
Jocky tour is price/value the best tour operator to go on safari with!
