This is an unforgettable, awe-inspiring, and highly cost-effective trip.
5/5

January is the off-peak season in Kenya, and we, four adults with one child, embarked on this journey. Although we opted for a shared itinerary, there were no other guests, so the five of us had a vehicle all to ourselves, making the trip exceptionally comfortable. Prior to the trip, Hellen from the travel agency was extremely patient in answering all my questions via email. The hotel accommodations throughout the journey were just as promised at the time of booking, truly excellent. After a long day of Safari, we were all well taken care of with great service. I would especially recommend our guide, Evans. His driving skills are top-notch, and he is incredibly adept at spotting animals, ensuring we saw all the wildlife we wished to see. He also sought out the best spots for photography, catering to our photographic needs. Moreover, Evans is warm-hearted and cheerful, always ready to assist other drivers during the trip, gathering more animal intelligence, and sharing his knowledge with us in a very professional manner. I have already recommended Evans to my friends, and we are likely to visit again! It was truly an exceptional trip!

An amazing experience
5/5

It was an amazing experience. Our guide (Joshua) was very knowledgeable and friendly. He always answered all our questions and was very expert about all the animals in the parks and their habits. He was also an excellent driver in the parks and a careful driver when traveling on normal roads. Our vehicle was also very good and never gave us any problem. The cost of this package was reasonable. The food and accommodation were not luxurious but still compatible with what we paid for. We started with the Masai Mara National Reserve and our experience there was incredible. Joshua was always connected to the radio and was very efficient in quickly moving to the locations where interesting animals were reported. The boat ride on Lake Nakuru was also extremely interesting. Amboseli National Park was also very nice although it could not compete with the Masai Mara in terms of variety of large animals and the game drive was much less eventful. However, we were able to see a huge herd of elephants, about a hundred. Also, with Kilimanjaro in the background, the views were really impressive. The last day was mainly dedicated to taking some of our group to the border with Tanzania, and then taking us back to Nairobi in the early afternoon: for this reason, the last game drive was rather short.

Absolutely perfect!
5/5

We chose to do a 7-day safari with Jocky Tours because they proved to be efficient and attentive to every detail from the very first email exchanges. Upon our arrival in Nairobi, we were met by Joshua, who turned out to be a tireless and reliable driver, a perfect organizer, and an expert guide with extensive knowledge of nature and wildlife.

The tour was magnificent and exceeded all expectations, with two days at Masai Mara Park, one at Lake Nakuru, one at Lake Naivasha, and two days in Amboseli. The hotels, tented camps, picnics, breakfasts, and dinners were all exactly as planned. The large Land Rover jeep was comfortable and sturdy for seven people plus Joshua.

Jocky Tours’ organization was excellent, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to experience this wonderful journey into the authentic African wilderness.

FANTASTIC TRIP with Robin
5/5

Our safari in the Maasai Mara was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we set out, we were immersed in the breathtaking beauty of Kenya’s wildlife and landscapes. We were lucky enough to spot 4 of the Big 5—elephants, lions, leopards, and wildebeests—and each sighting felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The sheer abundance of animals was incredible, and watching them in their natural habitat was both humbling and exhilarating.

Our guides were knowledgeable, passionate, and made the experience even more special with their insights and stories. The Maasai Mara truly exceeded all our expectations—it’s wild, raw, and utterly magical. If you’re considering a safari, don’t hesitate. This is an adventure that will stay with you forever. We may have missed the rhino this time, but that just gives us a reason to return! Highly, highly recommend! 😊

Was just AMAZING!!

Great experience in Kenya
5/5

It was 4days great trip at Maasai Mara and Nakuru. Our guide Papa John was an excellent driver and was supportive on each points. It’s long drive to each locations, but he was asking and checking everyone’s condition. Gave enough time for explanations for animals and let everyone taking time. We saw many wildlife thanks to Papa (unfortunately no leopard, but I asked around and no other people from those 3-4days saw it.. maybe it was in a sleep🙈)
Thank you again for great hospitality papa!!

Excellent
5/5

We had an unforgettable 3-day safari in Masai Mara, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Raheem. His deep knowledge of the park and exceptional driving skills ensured we were always in the best spots at the right time. One of the highlights was when he expertly navigated through a maze of safari vehicles to get us the perfect view of a cheetah—an experience we’ll never forget!

Raheem’s ability to anticipate animal movements and position us for the best sightings was truly impressive. Whether it was catching a pride of lions at sunrise, witnessing a herd of elephants up close, or spotting elusive leopards, he made sure we didn’t miss a thing.

Beyond his expertise, Raheem was also incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to our needs throughout the trip. He made the entire safari feel seamless, safe, and exciting from start to finish. If you're planning a Masai Mara adventure, I highly recommend requesting Raheem as your guide—you won’t be disappointed!

Memories Made - Never To Be Forgotten
5/5

Our safari in the Maasai Mara was an experience to treasure. My daughter made the bookings through Silas who was so helpful - he answered any questions we had straight away and when we wanted to add on an extra night it was no problem at all. Communication was a breeze.
We stayed at Sopa Lodge which was really lovely. Our room was perfect and the buffet meals were delicious - so many choices. The packed lunches on our full day safaris were just what we needed. Everyone there was super friendly and helpful and always made sure we were happy - we felt very much at home. Our stay included New Year’s Eve which was so much fun. Cocktail hour with canapés and dancers - a beautiful BBQ meal - and a lot more dancing - it was a night of pure happiness - all the staff were dancing and put on the most amazing show - it was a privilege to share the New Year celebrations with them all.
Our days out on safari with Leroy our guide were awesome. We were in a mixed group and all got on so well. We had lots of laughs and every day was full of fun and “wow” moments. Leroy’s knowledge of the land the animals and the birds is amazing. We saw everything we wanted to see and never felt rushed. He answered all the many questions we had for him and we got to learn and understand so much about the culture and the history of this remarkable land as well as spending time up close and personal with the most beautiful creatures. Leroy has spent a lot of his time growing up in the Mara so to be able to share his love and respect for the land and all its inhabitants was really something very special. This truly was an experience never to be forgotten. Asante sana ❤️
