Good
The experience was over all amazing.
The game drive was awesome, we had a very calm, polite and sweet guide Jimmy (I’m giving him a 20/10, he is just amazing). I’m recommending him. We had the opportunity to see the Top 5 animals (Leopard, Lion, Elephant, Rinno and Buffalo)We had a picnic in Massai Mara on the second day, it was really a greaaaaaat experience.
Giving a 4 stars because the lack of communication with the agency.
Hellen was very responsive on emails but when it’s comes to coordinating the pick up at my place it was terrible. They sent the driver at 7,15 as agreed but didn’t gave him my number so he couldn’t contact me, i was still waiting for him until they called me at 8.30 to inform me he was downstairs waiting for me. So make sure to ask about name and number of the driver a day before
The Hotel (Jambo mara) is nice, with good employees. I had a bad room on the first day, apparently the hotel was full, I didn’t receive any communication about it. They made a Room change the next day. There was no hot water in the rooms and it’s winter time.
Booked and paid for a Massai Mara village visit but it didn’t happen again no communication from the agency.
I do recommend the agency, but make sure you ask all the needed information and point out all your needs.
And Again Thank you Jimmy you made this trip unforgettable. You are appreciated

Fantastic Safari with average acomodation and food
The safari and our driver (Albert) were fantastic! The acomodation and food (mainly rice, potatoes, spinach and chicken 2x a day) are low standard. As all tour operators stop at the same places I assume it is the same on all safaris. As such I can recommend Jocky Tours!
Excellent excellent guide - ok accomodations
Our guide Johnnie Jackson was super duper excellent!! We saw the big 5 right away and also saw 7 cheetah one day as well as quite a few lions (1 male and 1 female were right next to our vehicle) and even a leopard! He knew right where to find the animals and made each day fun and interesting. He was concerned about everyone in our group and was patient, kind and flexible. The only downside of the safari were a couple of the accommodations. They were definitely budget and we knew that going in, but we're still surprised by the lack of cleanliness, broken tiles, and no hot water.

Value for service
We did the 5 days budget safari tour of maasai mara, lake nakaru and naivasha.
Everything was very good and welcoming. We had a great experience. Our tour guide papa was very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. Food was alright. Stay was good enough. Overall very happy with Jocky safari and will recommend them.

Professional and well-knowledge driver with an unorganized company
There's not enough praise I could write for our driver, Khalifa. We deeply appreciate that he didn't follow other drivers and instead took the risk to find the Big 5 during the safari. We felt lucky to have had him as our safari driver. Khalifa took great care of us throughout the safari, creating unforgettable memories.
The main reason I gave four stars instead of five was due to the disorganization at the Jocky Tours office, which affected our waiting time. There was a lack of communication in the morning during the pickup, and when we arrived at the office, they had the wrong information, thinking we were a group of three instead of two. Because of this, we had to change safari drivers. Additionally, they didn't inform us about a 5% transaction fee for using a credit card. Had we known, we would have used cash to pay for the safari tour.
Would we use Jocky Tours again? If I knew I could get the same driver, then yes, I would definitely use them again.

Budget safari 6 days
This Safari trip was very good. The guide/driver James Gichina was very professional and led us to see many animals, all the big five and much more and explained us their lifestyle. It was really great to see the animal world with our own eyes. In addition, the accommodation conditions were simply but good. It was an unforgettable travel experience.

Reasonable budget option
We booked a private camping 6-Day safari covering the Maasai Mara, Nakul, and Amboseli National Parks. Were then almost forced into a non-private trip at last minute due to a mix up on tour operator’s end, but ultimately got what we paid for. Our driver, James was professional and friendly. Vehicle was comfortable, and we saw all the big highlights in terms of wildlife. Itinerary of day 3 did not include everything on the initial description (no visit to Hell’s Gate NP near Naivasha for example. I were to do this again, I would probably go with a shorter option - 6 Days of safari become a little too much. Camps stayed in were all comfortable and to our liking.

Very good experience
we did a 6 day safari with Dennis, which was amazing. very attentive to our needs, he explained and told us every aspect of this wonderful country. We had a great time with him, I would recommend him to anyone! as for the camps, you have to know how to adapt, there is no shortage of insects and cleanliness is not a must.

Fantastic time
Steve was great, we overall had a fantastic time Brightness...
The timing, professionalism and general outlook where we stayed was on point.
The wild life experience in Amboseli was also one we will never forget.
