The most amazing experience I’ve ever had, even given the fact that I’m an experienced traveler.
It was the best experience ever!! I’m an experienced traveler and I have seen a lot! But this safari is for sure the best I’ve seen and done in my life!
The service is great, the car is super comfortable, the food is right for the safari, the lodging is clean and safe. But the guide! If you ever decide to go for a safari, ask Kikitu! He made this trip super amazing, if it wasn’t for him, we would have a totally different experience. He provides a lot of trivia, very knowledgeable, makes a lot of jokes, creates friendly, fun and authentic atmosphere. Everyone knows Kikitu and you would be super happy your whole trip! Thank you Kikitu and Jocky tours for the most exciting and enjoyable trip of my life ❤️ #teamkikitu!!

fast response, accurate and caring even before booking
The 3 day safari trip and the accommodation, AA lodge was really wonderful, it will be a pleasant memory for a lifetime!
Our consultant Minneh was more then helpfull even before we booked the trip with them.
Our guide Khalifa was a really good fellow with a lovely personality, and most importantly with great experience, thanks to which we could see animals and situations far beyond what we expected. Being at the right spot at the right time was his biggest streangth, so we didn't have to wait half a day to see lions, cheetahs and leopards up close, or 1000s of wilderbeasts crossing the river. He just always knew what is happening and where. In an 1.500 km2 park this was very impressive and helpfull for me : )
Lastly the 4x4 jeep was a big plus by itself, and worth the little extra cost. I was very happy to take the ride in it, and not a normal van, because this way we could experience a lot more. (Crossing more extreme pathways, and cutting down on the lengts of the route and saving time for more adventure.)
Despite the more than correct price I think we got a 6* service.
I can only recommend the whole team.
If you book your trip with them, you don't have to worry about anything.

Good value for money
Is started with good communication with the office and great flexibility in organising our 7 days private safari. Kikitu was our guide that I can fully recommend. We could see his experience in guiding especially in his favourite park Masai Mara. He was also flexible and quickly understood our needs (birdwatching and wildlife photography).
The accommodation were all that we could wish from a budget safari: great food, comfortable beds, warm showers and some exceeded our expectations.

Amazing and unforgettable experience!
Everything about Jocky was great since the first minute I contacted them. They were very helpful, and communication was always smooth. Once in Nairobi, my driver Joseph was very patient with me while I had to stop to get some cash. Also, extremely helpful with everything I needed - even a PCR test during the tour. Joseph was always asking us how we were, explaining everything about the Safari and telling us all the animals’ names. He found lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, mongoose and hienas for us. We say babies (lions and cheetahs and all the baby zebras as well), and he was always delighted to see how happy we were while seeing all the animals. I’m happy to recommend not only Jocky Tours but Joseph as well. He’s amazing! Everything was perfect! ❤️

Excellent
The Jocky Tours and Safaris is undoubtedly one of the best Safaris Agency I have ever had. I booked my tour with the help of Dany (+254 727 724921) and the pickup person James (+254 722 225107) had the best safari experience of my life. The three days we spend at Mara were full of adventure and beautiful memories. We enjoyed seeing the Africa Big Five, need to specially thank Mr.James our driver who helped us a lot to spot the lions, elephants, cheetahs, and Zebras that roamed in the Mara. The beautiful and rugged terrain coupled by the lions that walked majestically as they waited for their next prey was refreshing. We would send the nights at Rhino Camp , accommodation that summed up the magical safari at Mara. I thank Jocky tours for making this safari memorable and without any furore. I totally recommend their professional services. Happy Safari everyone. Remember to enjoy yourselves!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
It was truly increíble Safari! We booked 2-nights with Jocky Tours in Masai Mara Reserve and it's more than recomendable! First of all: the contact with their office was the fastest imaginable - we literally was receiving answers in minutes, and we asked a lot! Their fulfilled every point of scheduled programme. And we had THE BEST GUIDE POSSIBLE - JAMES! (Thank you once again! ❤️) He showed us more than we counted on: lions (more than once!), cheetahs, giraffes, packs of elephants, more than a hundred (100!) hippos, zebras, impalas, gazeles, baboons, savanna foxes, hienas, pumbas, birds, plants and - most breathtaking - THE GREAT MIGRATION OF WILDERBEAST! He knew a lot about the Park and the a Animals, he was very patient, he explained everything, he was never late, he drove safely, he really knew where to go! We were like a 1.5 meter from cheetahs! If you go on Safari with Jocky don't hestitate to ask for him - definitely recomendable one :)

Awesome tour guide, incredible memory!
Words can’t describe how amazing this experience was! James was so friendly and he took great care of our group. He shared so much helpful information along the way, and went the extra mile to help us find all the animals we wanted to see! The accommodations exceeded my expectations, too and the food was outstanding. I highly recommend James and Jocky Tours for an incredible experience and memory of a lifetime!
Information provided was clear, they did exactly what they said they will do, the guide was superb.
A fantastic time. Unlike other companies, clear information was provided. Picked up on time. We had a break at the Rift Vally which is a beautiful spot. We had a decent lunch half way and arrived at the camp around 2pm. After a 2 hours break, we went out for an evening game drive. We then had dinner which was very nice. The next morning we were out all day in the park. We managed to see 4 of the big 5. Our guide Richard was fantastic. He knew where the animals were and was very good at spotting them. He is knowledgeable and explained about the character of the animals that we were seeing well. He made extra effort to make our trip enjoyable. On our last day, we visited a Masaai Mara village which was wonderful. We joined in their welcoming dance. Overall the trip was wonderful. The food provided was great. The camp staff are wonderful and made our stay pleasant. Lunch is provided in the first and last day. Packed lunch was available during the second day.
visited a Masaai Mara village which was wonderful. We joined in their welcoming dance.

Best 4 days in Kenya
It was a great experience with Leonard. I highly recommend going on this safari and especially if you will be able to join him, as he is a kind, experienced and very skilled safari tour guide. Thank you Jocky Tours and Leonard!!

In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best.
Masai Mara review
We had taken the Masai Mara trip with Jocky Tours. In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best. We recommend a Matatu over the Landcruiser as it's cheaper and nearly same experience.
The communication over email and phone was perfect.
A longer feedback follows. They picked us up promptly from our place. We had a good drive with Simon to Masai Mara. The road is not very good but Simon was a skilled driver. The lenchada camp site was very good and our tent was really comfortable. During the game drives, Simon was very actively coordinating with others to make sure we see as much game as possible and was also very knowledgeable. He told us about the living habits, gestation period and breeding habits of each of the species. They also made us see the sunrise in the national park which was amazing.
The Masai village tour was also fun.
Overall we recommend the tours and ask for Simon as your driver and guide. He is really friendly. We saw a lot of game, great wildlife, good car and an amazing tour.
