Professional safari company and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend Khalifa!
Jocky Tours was a very professional safari tour operator. The communication ahead of booking was excellent: they were very responsive to emails and happy to amend the itinerary to suit our needs and preferences. There were some issues with park rule changes (outside of Jocky Tours’ control) which led to the itinerary being slightly modified, but Jocky Tours made up for this by adding some extras to compensate for the loss.
Our driver was Khalifa and he was excellent: good driver, always on time and very knowledgeable about the wildlife we encountered. It was a pleasure spending 6 days with him.
The tour itself was a good mix of different natural environments and landscapes. It was a great combination and I highly recommend this combination of parks.
Time and money permitting, adding a stop between Lake Nakuru and Amboseli may be a good idea to break up the drive.

It was really good!
It was a pleasur seeing so many animals! The Organisation was really good, the tent was nice and our driver (Salomon) was the best! He was so much fun and knew a lot about the animals. He made sure that we had the best view. I can recommend!

The first safari
My first safari (3 different national parks from September 13th to September 18th, 2023) became a wonderful and unforgettable experience thanks to the friendly Joseph.
Thanks to his experience and commitment, we were always in the right place at the right time
Place to often discover and observe the animals up close.
In addition, he almost always had an answer to our many questions.
I always felt good and safe.

Very nice safari with many special moments
We had a super well organized trip with Jockey Tours. Our guide Joseph took us safely to all places to give us the best possible view of the animals. Joseph gave us a lot of information about the animals, thank you for that. So we could see the big 5. It was an impressive experience that I will always remember.
Thanks Norbert

Best 4 day trip to the Maasai Mara
We had the best 3 night 4 day safari with Ali at the Maasai Mara. Ali was high energy and enthusiastic from the start and was very attentive throughout our trip. He worked very hard to ensure we saw as many animals as possible and was very knowledgeable about the animals and the Masai Mara. The roads were very wet and slippy due to the rain but we felt like we were in safe hands with his driving! If you are doing a trip with jocky tours I would definitely recommend requesting Ali.

Solomon was friendly, knowledgable and an excelent driver.
Jockey tours provided an excelent value for money experience in the Masai Mara. Our guide Solomon made sure we saw as many animals and landscapes as possible in our short time with him.

Amazing
I had the best time exploring Masai Mara. My guide Peter was very informative, trying to show me every possible thing we could see in 2 days. I was a solo traveler and I could feel safe during the whole trip, which is a big plus for me. So thanks to Jocky Tours, and especially Peter for this great experience.

They are good n delivered what they promised
We had a great trip of Masai Mara with our driver/guide Mr. David Mwangi. He was knowledgeable and caring. I would say it was because of David we enjoyed the trip. He was patient when we went for the river crossing of the wildebeest and it’s because of his patience that we were able to witness the river crossing. If anyone wants to take a trip with Jocky Tours then i highly recommend David. 5 stars to David.
The Lenchada tourist camp is a basic place but workable as you are there for the wildlife. The electricity is there for a few hours in the morning n a few hours in the evening.
The hotels in Nakuru and Naivasha are also good, although I think Nakuru n Naivasha can be skipped. We travelled hours and hours from Masai Mara to Nakuru for just 60-90 minutes Safari. Go to Nakuru only if you really really want to see the Rhino.
I have given 4 stars because we were made to change SIX vehicles during our 5 nights trip. At one point I felt they were playing passing the parcel, with me being the parcel.
Overall we had a good trip n great sightings in Masai Mara. It would have been an excellent trip had we skipped Nakuru and Naivasha.
If I go again I would use jocky tours.

Excellent tour with excellent guide
We have recently returned from a Kenyan safari with Jocky Tours.
We visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli over 6 days.
Our driver/guide was Joshua and he was amazing. He even managed to tweak our itinerary so we could fit in a boat trip and walking safari at Lake Naivasha.
Joshua was very helpful and knowledgeable and was a very safe driver. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him and he was constantly scouring the landscape for wildlife.
We managed to see all the big 5 up close and just about every other animal you can think of.
Accommodation and food was good and overall we were very happy with the whole experience.
We would definitely recommend Jocky Tours and would like to say a big thank you to Joshua.

Kevin is a rockstar!
Jocky Tours was great but Kevin, our Safari driver, is the reason I would recommend this tour company to anyone.
My friend and I planned this safari the week before because we were already in Kenya and had the flexibility to chose which dates we wanted to go. We chose a 3 day safari through Masai Mara with pickup from/drop off at Nairobi Airport. We finalized our booking 2 days before, which Jocky Tours was able to accommodate on short notice and we really appreciated. The price seemed pretty standard compared to all the other 3 day, drive-in, Masai Mara options and it seemed reasonable considering it included the transport, food, water, and accommodation. We had discussed several different accommodation options (which varied in price) and picked the one that worked best for us - Mara Chui was a great spot with delicious food, 24/7 hot water & electricity, and friendly staff.
Now, Kevin made our safari experience *incredible*. He was kind, funny, and knowledgable so he taught us a lot on this adventure - everything you want in a safari guide. But even better, he managed to find and get us close to all sorts of animals - giraffes, a parade of elephants, lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, gazelles, warthogs, wildebeest, zebras...it was incredible! I know you can't predict or control what animals you'll be able to see on safari, but Kevin managed to drive around the Mara and get us views of *everything* - including a gorgeous sunset our first evening and a stunning sunrise the morning of our second day. I always felt safe and I felt like I was truly getting a once in a lifetime experience. I will always be grateful to Kevin for what he did for our tour group and the experience he gave us.
