Amazing experience!
5/5

After looking and reading different reviews
- [ ] I choose Jockey tours. The service was very good, the driver pick up us on the hotel actually 10 min before the time agreed (and was amazing all the way) a bit scary as you walk to a dark office to begin your adventure … but this is Nairobi. We went with a shared group option, (8 people in total) and we were traveling with two children. We arrived to the Masai Mara after a long drive, but nothing can be done about this … a lot of kms. The Safari we went was great, even to raining wet condition! Our guide, Khalifa was really friendly, knowledgeable and patience. The park roads are bumpy, specially if rain that also are slippery and muddy, but the jeep that the tour provided is excellent (please be aware best to avoid the smaller vans) as we saw many small vans stuck in the mud). We had a great time and manage to see all that we ever dream of, rhino, hippos, lion, elephants, giraffes, zebras, cheetah and many more. The great thing about Khalifa was that he knew where to go and when, he has a great network who shares info with him, which made our experience a trip of a life time, it is never guaranteed to see everything. my children (age 12 and 16) also enjoyed. We went for a 3 days 2 nights option and that was good for us, e outside OK specially as we will split the week and also go to Diani Beach. Khalifa accommodate all our needs, and we were so grateful as he keep us safe.

Excellent tour operator
5/5

Jocky Tours and Safari organized safari for us in Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli National Parks. We spent a lot of time in these parks and saw many animals including elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, rhinos, hippos, leopards and so on. The accommodation was comfortable and fully consistent with what was stated. I recommend this tour operator and their wonderful guide Joseph.

I have done the safari with my partner and we had Francis as the driver. No complaints. He was very effective, always punctual, helping us with everything and explaining everything we asked. I would repeat with him without hesitation

Perfect!
5/5

An incredible experience❤️ I thought that due to the low price (compared to other options), it would not be so good, but this safari has not lacked anything!!! It has been perfect. From the chosen hotels/campsites to the guide, the magnificent Francis. Everything he says comes true, you can trust the animals he promises you 100%!!!
The only thing I would not repeat is the visit to the Maasai village (it is optional, we were the ones who chose to go). In addition to being a bit expensive (20 dollars per person to enter), they pressure you to compress things and you end up spending a lot of money (a single necklace is 20/30 euros). Then the souvenir shops where they stop during the journey are also quite expensive for tourists and they will take advantage of the price (11 euros for two magnets!!!). Prices that one does not even pay in Europe. Therefore, be careful with scams! For the rest, enjoy Jocky Tours and if you're lucky, enjoy Francis!! I hope I can repeat this experience again, thank you very much for everything!

Just completed a 7D6N group tour with Jocky Tours. It was v well organised and we had a lot of fun together. I am impressed with our guide/drive Richard. He was able to take care of our group diverse needs and at the same time engaging with everyone.

Fast communication and great organization
5/5

We had a 5 day budget private tour with Peter (Kapino). We went to Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and lake Naivasha. Peter was very experienced, knowledgeable, kind and helpful. We are happy he was our guide. Thanks to him we saw many animals in all of the parks and it was a pleasure to chat with him. We liked all of our accomodation. In the first lodge the food could have been better, but it was in the middle of nowhere, so it was understandable. Five days in the jeep is quite exhausting, so it was great to rent a bike and cycle through the lake Naivasha's park during the last day.

Excellent safari with perfect guide
5/5

If you are expecting an excellent safari in Kenya, you must not miss Jocky Tours. With the experienced guide Jimmy, we had 8 wonderful days.
Before starting the trip, we just provided some preferences and they gave us a very detailed plan day by day, including preferred hotel, vehicle and total fee. They also reacted in time in case we change our preference.
Of course, the most impressive is the safari with our guide Jimmy. He's very nice and enthusiastic. He has a great skill of driving. So don't be worry about the road condition. It was always comfortable with the 4x4. During these days, every game drive is a surprise. Because Jimmy is always able to find rare animals. So yes, we are lucky to see the big five from Amboseli to Maasai Mara!
We are already considering the next safari to Samburu with Jimmy!
