Best Budget Safari, very reasonably priced
I booked Safari from Jocky's tours directly from India, they Picked me up from the Airport and back to Nairobi all inclusive I did not had to spend any amount anything. Very reasonably priced when compared to any other tour operator. Game drive was fantastic and specially our Guide cum driver Jimmy he was excellent. He made sure we are all comfortable and kept on asking about how we feel. I highly recommend Jocky's to anyone coming directly to Kenya for Safari.
Special Thanks to Jimmy

Superb service, extremely accommodating. Gives you best of experience.
We did a 6 day safari to masai Mara, lake nakuru, and Amboseli. Right from the time I contacted them through safaribookings.com they were quite punctual in responding over email and whatsapp. That gave comfort. Jimmy, our guide was always there to answer our questions. (We bombarded him). Always working towards providing us a memorable experience. On our last day we were with Evans the guide. He was also eager to show us around and specifically search for game. As it was our last day of the tour. We had a memorable tour with Jocky tours. Thanks to the team.

Perfect operator and services.
We had an amazing, very interesting safari experience with Kikitu. He is attractive and experienced guide with great sence of humor. At safari we saw a lot of wild animals, such as lions, elephants, giraffes, hienas, baboons, bufallos, ostriches, zebras, hippos. We do not have any objections about our tour. Best recomendations.

Perfectly organized, amazing Tour guide who speaks Swahili, English and German fluently
It was a perfectly organized 6 days safari.
Which we would do again straight away.
The organization of the trip via Mail could not have been better. Jocky tours had an answer to all our questions and we got a response very quickly.
Our driver Andrew was a trained and well experienced tour guide. The fact that he is fluent in swahili english and german was really impressive.
Andrew does safaris for more that 15 years and he knows everything about the parks, the animals and the flora and fauna.
Due to his experience we saw basically all species which are in the park.
Lots of elephants, giraffes, monkeys, hartebeests,gazelles, lions, and as well the rare cats like leopard cheetahs.
All the hotel, or lodges we stayed in where on a really high level, great food and accommodation. Even though we had just booked Standard and not luxury.
I compared different opedators and jockey tours had the best cost/Performance ratio.
In the end we can say, if you plan a trip with jockey tours and Andrew there is nothing to worry about during your safari.

Exceeded our expectations
Found Jocky Tours online and after reading excellent reviews I decided to reach out and enquire about tour packages. Minneh responded within hours with questions to everything that I asked. She was very easy to talk to and helped us with e-Visa applications, entry requirements and also gave us advise on how to prepare for our first Safari trip. When we arrived in Nairobi, we were picked up at the airport and brought to the Jocky Tours office where we paid the rest of the fee which was very smooth as well. Then we met Zack who will be our tour guide for the next 5 days. Zack was the loveliest, most passionate guide. He always made sure we were comfortable and hydrated. He always asked how our sleep was and how our meals were everyday and made sure we were hapoy about everything, which we were very much so! Zack was always enthusiastic and always began our day with “Let’s go look for some animals!” smile plastered on his face. He is knowledgeable and passionate not only about the safari but also about Kenyan and African people, cultures and traditions. My husband and I learned a lot from him and it was very nice to learn about a country we’ve never been to from a local. Our honeymoon trip was very special and Zack was one of the reasons why. We went to the Masai Mara, Naivasha and Nakuru and everything was lovely! The tour was very well organised, the three different accommodations were all different experiences and we loved it! We stayed in accommodations where animals roamed freely outside our doors and that was such a surreal experience. Food was great and Zack always went out of his way to get us food outside the package when we wanted. Our trip couldn’t have been better. Everything exceeded our high expectations of the safari - experienced the beautiful Kenya, spotted all the wild animals that we were hoping to spot big thanks to Zack who was such a great spotter, and learned a lot about the country and it’s lovely people. We are already planning another trip to Kenya with our family and friends!

Great communication
Jockey Tours was great. Minneh was super responsive, she usually responded to my emails within 24 hours, and always answered my calls. Jimmy was our tour guide for our 7 day tour. He answered all my questions, and I have a ton of questions. Very patient, and always did his best to get us great photos, and teach us about the animals.

Amazing safari experience
We chose a 7 day tour offered by Jocky Tours. The trip included trips to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naviasha, and Amboseli National Park. I highly recommend requesting to have Jimmy as your tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and attentive to everyone’s needs for the entirety of trip.

An amazing experience would not have missed it for the world.
Jockey tours organized a very nice 3 day safari for us in Masai Mara. The communication went very smoothly. We were picked up at our airbnb and brought to the group we were traveling with. James (our tourguide) went above and beyond to show us all the beautiful animals in the reserve. He made sure everybody had a good time. We definitely recommend to book with jocky tours, it is good value for your money. They are reliable and will make sure you have a wonderful time. For example: we decided in Masai Mara we were not going back to Nairobi but going to naivasha instead. Our tourguide arranged a taxi driver to get us there for a very reasonable price.

Experienced
I had Moses as my operator for the first part of a five day safari (Maasai Mara National Park and Lake Nakuru). Moses is outgoing, friendly, knows everything about the animals, but most importantly he is clearly an experienced driver. Even when several safari trucks would be crowded around an animal, he was an expert at navigating the truck to get us a good viewing spot. He was also very patient - if you wanted to stay a moment longer viewing an animal or stop to take a photo of the smallest bird or lizard, he was always willing to wait for us. I felt very safe driving with him despite the bumpy roads in Maasai Mara, and we saw all 5 of the Big Five in Maasai Mara with Moses, so he will probably bring you good luck on your safari!
