Memorable Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari (5 days)
The Masai Mara Game Safari was a memorable experiences and we enjoyed every minute of it. We were able to see almost all the predators and antelopes in the plains. To begin with, both Eric and Mineh were very prompt and meticulous in their communications and arragements. Our guide cum driver, Issac was very knowledgeable, customer focused, and, at times put extra efforts to show us the most elusive predators like leopards and cheetahs. We are extremely happy about this tour and we strongly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris.

3-day safari in the Masai Mara & one day in the Nakuru Lake with the best company
I want to express gratitude for this memorable days in the Kenya. We saw the big five & big seven during a few hours. We saw the cheetah's breakfast, two leopards, five rhinos and flamingos! Our Camping & hotel were absolutly comfortable.
Our guide was very enthusiastic, friendly & accusative with us. We love this guy! He helped with all questions, and requests. Our guide made those days amazing. Thank you so much.
The company communicated with us during all the time from booking till start of safari and helped with all questions.
We'll recommend the Jocky. Sure!
Thanks!
With best regards, Gleb & Ekaterina.

3-day Safari Tour Masai Mara - August 2019
I wanted to have 3-day Masai Safari experience with my family of 4 (coming from the U.S.) and they did not disappoint! It was a memorable experience as we got to see big game up close and all logistics were planned out thoughtfully and seamlessly such that we just got to focus on taking pictures and enjoying the moments! A special shoutout to our driver / guide EVANS who tailored the 3-days specifically to what we wanted to accomplish, he has 20+years of experience doing Safaris and it definitely showed! He definitely made us all feel safe but gave it a 100% effort in getting us to see the Big 5 up close. He went out of his way to make sure we all left the experience satisfied and fulfilled and that we definitely did. Also a shoutout to our travel consultant MINNEH who answered all my questions prior to the trip and gave us some great accommodations! They were a great duo and would highly recommend using them if you want a packaged experience where they take care of you from start to finish with no headaches or logistics!

Smooth and amazing experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris on 2D 1N Maasai Mara Safari
We just came back from a 2 days 1 night safari in Maasai Mara with Jocky Tours and Safaris. It was an amazing experience. First of all, not many companies offer weekend safaris. I was in Nairobi for work and just had the weekend to spare. I even changed the dates at the last moment. But Minneh was very responsive (replies come in couple of hours compared to others who took days), she even accommodated my last minute request of preponing the tour. The driver was right on time to pick us up from the hotel. After we paid for out tour, we were transferred to our safari vehicle. Francis, our driver, was very sweet. He drove well and made sure all of us had a good time. The safari experience was amazing. Over the two days, we saw lions, elephants, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, impalas, and many more. We saw a number of birds as well, including ostrich, vulture, etc. The scenery in Maasai Mara is breathtaking. I was initially not sure about just one-night safari, but it was completely worth it. Jocky tours is really value for money if you are tight on budget. I would recommend it.

very good experience for a camping based 4 day safary
the 4 day safari (lake Nakuru and Masaai Mara) was very well organised. the camp and the hotel were clean and organised. Special mention to James, the driver, who has been excellent: he drove all the way safely but at the same time he always tried to get us a good spot to see the animals and was well connected so that we could arrive first where the animals were. He gave us information not only on animals but also on vegetation, so thumbs up!

Excellent safari experience with Evans
The whole experience was amazing. Our driver Evans was brilliant. He could spot animals so easily whilst driving on the tracks on tricky terrain. We saw all of the big 5 in the Masai Mara. Evans was very knowledgable about all of the animals and birds.

It was a wonderful experience. I was travelling alone and taken care off very well. It's worth it!
The communication with the company through Minneh was so easy. She assisted me all through out. I had to change my planned dates at the last moment and Minneh made all the arrangements without a problem. She also made sure I was taken care off well in the entire tour. They picked me up in my hotel on time. Our driver/guide Evans was amazing. He made sure everyone in the group was comfortable and enjoying. It was a good group size (5-7). I was surprised with how nice the accommodations were and the food was also good (most of the time buffet). The game drives were amazing. You will be surprised each time with the sightings of the animals. Evans made sure we saw the best sightings and off course the big five! The other people in my group had only 4days and Minneh arranged me a private tour at hell’s gate with a very good guide named Dan that also works for the company. I was brought back to the door step of my hotel satisfied. I paid the cheapest but excellent and worth every penny safari tour in Kenya! I will definitely recommend this tour company and will use it again when I go back with my family.

Excellent tour with friendful guides and clear organization!!
Excellent tour with friendful guides and clear organization !!
All interactions and communications were very operational and understandable. All the prior agreements were fully complied, and my expectations were fully matched. The level of service is excellent, very attentive guides Richard and James (on safari) and Daniel (on excursion in Nairobi), completely satisfied all the wishes and left the most good impression. Accommodation is also completely satisfied - the camp is very comfortable and I really liked it, and the hotels carry a colonial style and have a great place for a photo session. Safari tour itself was very successful, we saw all the animals of Africa and many times - thanks guides for this. Really liked the day in Nairobi - glad that did not fly away immediately and gave myself the opportunity to relax and enjoy the interesting places of the city - the guide organized everything perfectly.
Overall I am very pleased and grateful for the opportunity to visit Africa. There was not a single problem or complexity, everything went perfectly !!

Excellent Budget Safari
Everything was according to description. The camps and hotels were spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable and equipped with moskitonet. Breakfast and dinner were always good. Food is for most part according to Kenyan standards, dinner and lunch: rice, local spinach type, chiapati, chicken, beef, peas, carrots, beans, breakfast: toast, jam, eggs, sausages, fruits, tea, juices. Lunches on the way sated, don't expect too much. Our drivers were informative and cared for our needs and whishes. The game drives were obviously an excitement. Lot's of animals, including lions, cheetas, rhinos and more. Be aware, that a game drive is not Disney Land. We met other groups, which expected a theater performance. Obviously, that is a stupidity and would totaly destroy the natural experience, in my opinion. My advise, bring good binoculars. If you are keen on pictures, bring a wide range tele lens. Roads in the NPs are very rough, which makes handling of a heavy camera difficult at times, thus don't miss out on bringing a light and small compact camera as well. Payment of the safari was a hastle, but that was not Jocky's fault. Surprisingly, my credit card did not work in Kenya. Thus bring the money cash or have your credit card unlocked for Kenya before departure. Jocky's stuff was in fact very helpful in order to resolve the problem. For a budget safari, excellent value for money. We were very satisfied and had a lot of fun.
