Perfect Kenyan Safari tour!
I can only strongly recommend Jocky Tours for your safari as our group couldn't have made a better choice in selecting a private guided Kenyan Safari.
From early on pre booking communication to pickup at our hotel in Nairobi, throughout the safari itself and up to our dropoff at the airport, every detail had been carefully planned and executed.
Our experienced guide, Dennis, is much more than an upmost skilled driver. Extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the Maasai Mara fauna and flora, Dennis is an exceptionally kind man, going for the best jeep positioning for your perfect snapshots, teaching us Maasai and Swahili key words, always available to help fellow guides in trouble at light speed, always in the best contagious mood.
Thank you Dennis and Jocky Tours for the best vacation memories! Godspeed!

Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive guide
The two and a half days we spent with Dickson were unforgettable! My cousin, my brother, and I had a private safari tour during which we saw many animals (lions, leopard, elephants, giraffes, etc.). Having a private tour was the best decision because we could stop anytime, take many photos, and have very personal attention from our guide. He told us stories about every animal we saw, so I feel like I’m leaving not only with new memories but also new knowledge. The camp where we stayed was quite comfortable, with cold and hot water, big beds, generator power to charge phones twice a day, and a cozy bonfire at night where we made friends from different countries. Overall, the communication, the value, and the experience was unmatched! Thank you Dickson for making our holiday so special!

Very nice and knowledgeable guy
Very good experience.
Our guide Dickson was a really nice guy. Good english and knowledge about all types of animals
Highly recommend
Great tour of the mara
We had a pleasant experience with Johnny Jackson, our tour driver / guide. He gave us good information about various animals and their habits. We saw 4 out of the big 5, except rhino. Johnny tried his best to find a leopard who was hidden behind a bush to ensure we got a good picture of it. He drove well on the bumpy roads of the mara and got us very close to 2 majestic male lions which made our day.
Our stay at jambo mara lounge was great as we got a glass cottage which was really cozy and modern. The food could've been better. Also, the itinerary for this tour contained a game drive on 3rd day, but we were not offered one and asked to pay $80 more. The reason given to us was a change in rules for entry recently which was not updated on the website. We ended up skipping it.

A very amazing tour operator
Everything about masaai mara was great but the tents beds needs an upgrade plus the restraunt’s food…our tour guide johnny jackson is a very fast and awesome guy,we got to see lots of animals in a short span…lake nakuru safari was a great experience the hotel and the park ride,,,lake naivasha rooms are a disgrace ,,,they give the 500ksh lodgings vibe,,,and their food is extremely terrible…i would suggest you look into that atleast make us the clients feel the services of our money.i think the standard package should really be reviewed!

Professional and kind
Professional and kind , very respectful for animals and park rules .
Truly amazing
We see all the big 5
Everything I wanted in my Kenyan Safari + Great Service
I booked Jocky Tours based on the great reviews listed on Google and Viator. I was lucky to have Jeff as my tour guide. On Day 1 Jeff accomplished what most say is impossible and had us spot the Big 5. Now this was no easy task. At one point we were leaving the park and Jeff turned around and raced us to make it to see a rhino in time even though we were almost out the park. He explained that it's rare to see a rhino so he didn't want us to miss our chance.
More importantly, my son has a Disability. Jeff was patient, caring and extremely helpful. There's no way I would've been able to get my son in and out of that safari truck. He assisted him each and every time and my son is a big boy. This is very important if you have someone that needs extra assistance or if you have kids and need a guide with some extra patience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jeff with Jocky to any of my family or friends!
FYI: I did upgrade my stay to Jambo Village which was completely worth it for me.
