Amazing, unforgettable and unique places
3 days lost in the savannah, more than 1000 km traveled without meeting a house or a man, in search of the "Big five" I saw all the animals you can imagine or that I had seen as a child in the Re Leone or in the millions of documentaries that I regularly watch and watched dreaming of one day going to see them live. I expected to see a lot of them but it was truly incredible. The guide hadn't seen a Leopard for more than 3 months because they always hide, You are so lucky guys, he kept repeating all the time, I have a surprise for you! I was lucky enough to see two of them, a cub on a tree devouring another animal and a female who passed us a meter away and looked me straight in the eyes, I saw Lions eating a buffalo at 8 in the morning and others hunting of the gazelles that escaped, zebras that to migrate have to cross the Mara River infested with crocodiles and hippos, unfortunately of the 5 that I saw pass 2 were devoured by the crocodiles...which keep them under water until the end of the rains so as to have a good supply of them.. an incredible rush of emotions, thousands of buffaloes, wildebeests, impalas, elephants, gazelles, zebras, giraffes, jackals, birds as tall as me, vultures, Timon, Pumba, Simba, Rafiki, the hyenas that at sunset they chased two baby cows, attacked them and tore them to pieces while behind them about twenty giraffes ran away, cruel and at the same time truly incredible images. I slept in a hut in the village of the Maasai tribe where they live, fenced in and in the evening they have to keep watch because hyenas and lions come close to attack them or the livestock. All surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and incredible colors. I have traveled a lot and will continue to do so, but I believe that this experience is truly the most incredible I have ever had. I'm still thrilled and I think I will be for years just thinking about these 3 days, however few but truly unrepeatable. A population of smiles, songs and dances where the most famous saying is without problems, HAKUNA MATATA !! Asante Sana Kenya see you soon

Standard budget option.
Our experience with Dickson was great. The safari was beyond our expectations - both the landscape and the animals were stunning. Dickson was a great guide and helped us spot so much throughout our days together. The tent camp was basic, but comfortable, spacious, and clean, and was a great part of the safari experience. Helen at the camp was very helpful and accommodating. We definitely recommend this as a great option for anybody on a budget, and can’t wait to come back soon. The only recommendation for improvement I would have for the tour operator is if it weren’t necessary to go to their office on the way out of Nairobi to make the payment, which seemed to take a lot of unnecessary time. Otherwise, they were very prompt and professional to communicate and answer questions over email, and were willing to customize our package.

Joseph is an amazing guide
Embarking on the 6-day safari that encompassed Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli was an absolute thrill. Throughout this journey, our guide, Joseph, emerged as the linchpin, transforming the safari into a riveting odyssey where we didn't just observe wildlife, but actively participated in the vibrant tapestry of nature's theater.
As we progressed into Amboseli, the quality of our accommodations elevated to a level that bordered on opulence. It was akin to finding an unexpected oasis amidst the rugged wilderness. The transition was so seamless that I couldn't help but feel like I had stumbled upon a hidden gem within the vast expanse of the savannah, an oasis mirroring the grandeur of the surrounding landscape.
The culinary experiences along this expedition were an unanticipated delight. Each meal served as a palette of flavors, harmonizing with the diverse hues of the African terrain we traversed. It was as if the culinary team had orchestrated a gastronomic symphony, with every bite leaving a lasting impression.
Yet, beyond the landscapes and the sumptuous meals, the true essence of this journey lay in the connections forged with fellow travelers. Amidst the captivating allure of nature's spectacle, bonds of friendship were woven, and memories were etched into the core of our beings. This tour not only promises high-quality experiences but also offers the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals on a profound level.
In summary, Lenchada Safaris / Jocky tours orchestrated a seamless blend of adventure and luxury. This tour undeniably warrants nothing less than a glowing 5-star review. I feel immensely fortunate to have embarked on this extraordinary expedition, an experience that has indelibly marked my soul and left me with cherished memories to last a lifetime.

Magical Kenya
We had a wonderful safari experience with jockey travel and tour. The driver (Dennis) was professional and took us to see animals in best views. We are really satisfied and like to go to masai mara national park again and again.

Very excellent!
We booked for Masai Mara from google, the company has fast replies and comfort website. We went with Johnny; our guide, he is very nice and servant person, he explained everything and made sure we see as many animals as we can from the best view. He is very friendly and had a lot of patience while taking the photos and through the tour.
He is an excellent driver too and fun person to be with!
Ask for Johnny to be your guide and you will be very happy and enjoy the travel!!
The people in the camp were nice and welcoming.
Thank you for the experience!

Its all about who you roll with
You come for the animals, you stay for the driving. Our guide and pilot Ali blew us away with terrific knowledge of the vast culture of the local Masaai people and the animals featured in the seemingly endless national park, as well as proved to be virtuoso behind the wheel, outperforming all others drivers in the park and providing us with one-in-a-million close-up views of the animals, all while keeping out spirits way up in joyous laughter through his humorous nature.

Wonderful experience, highly recommended!
It was our first time in Kenya and we attended a 5-Day Safari to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara.
Everything went smoothly with JockyTours including the communication, pick-ups and drop off.
We had a direct pick-up from the airport in the early morning hours and then we went to Masai Mara. During the first 2 days we stayed in budget tented camp. The camp was clean and tidy (hot shower was always available) and we also had there great food! On the remaining days we stayed at hotels which were also very nice.
Our tourguide was Jimmy. He was very knowledgable and patient during the game drives. We always had enough time to take photos and he payed attention to make it possible to have the best spots to watch the wildlife.
All in all it was an incredible 5 days, we could see the big 5 and a lot more than that during our stay. We highly recommend to choose JockyTours to have a memorable Safari experience in Kenya.

The tour was very well organized and the JT always helped us. Also the driver did a fantastic job
Jockytours organized the whole trip very excellent exactly so we wanted it.
They always helped us whenever we had questions and took care for every wish we had.
Our driver James was a very cool and funny dude. He explained us interesting informations about the national park, the animals and plants and also common things about kenya. He did the best for us to see all the animals living there. He always was friendly and helped us every time we asked him. What he did for us is much more than you could expect. He was connected to so many people that he always could find a solution for our problems.
It was funny and interesting to drink a beer with him. Next time I come back I want him as a driver again ;-)
Friendly and helping...
