Exhilarating, fun and informative.
We spent a long time deciding what operator to go with, and we finally settled on Jocky Safaris. There were very helpful with booking through WhatsApp and an answered all our queries promptly.
Our guide Johnie was very knowledgable about all the animals and always gave us an extra nugget of information about their behaviour and how to distinguish between males and females. In addition, Johnie was an excellent driver in the tricky terrain and we were always the first to reach sightings of leopards, lions and cheetahs (no rhino sadly). We managed to see 4 of the big 5 and we had lots of time on our own with elephants and a lioness.
We selected the budget option but it did not feel particularly budget. The beds were comfortable, hot showers, and good security. The breakfasts and dinners were tasty and always on time.
I would recommend Jocky safaris, they have very good drivers (makes a big difference in the bumpy roads) who are very knowledgable about the Masai Mara, as well as comfortable accommodation.

People on the ground are devoted and do an amazing job
Though due to government hikes the programme was reduced (and office did not a good job communicating this and refused to accept that this business risk was theirs and not that of the customer), the tour itself could not have gone better. The camp was charmingly basic yet reliable, James our guide was a constant source of bubbly energy and knowledge (he knows his birds extremely well) and during the road trips everything was communicated timely and clear. A next time I would happily book again here. During the trip I never got the feeling that we were taken advantage of in a negative way or that shortcuts had been taken.

Magical Masai Mara
What an amazing experience from beginning to end, I cannot recommend enough. Brilliantly organised from the moment we booked to arrival back to our hotel. Jimmy, our driver and guide, was wonderful, not only did his game drive delight us in seeing all of the big 5 and scavengers, his warmth, knowledge and consideration meant we always felt safe and at home. Our accommodation was authentic, traditional yet catered for all necessities: the food was delicious and the staff accommodating and friendly, the tents were very comfortable and clean. Truly amazing

Good value for money
James was an excellent guide, knowledgable and very friendly. I would definitely recommend.
Value for money is also great, however communication around the new safari rules could have been better communicated.

Jimmy!! The best guide in Kenya!
Jimmy was the main reason I gave this 5 stars! He was definitely the best guide and exceeded our expectations. Jocky Tours had a very well organized tour but it was Jimmy who made it possible to see all the animals and more. His driving skills were amazing as well as his knowledge about the parks and animals. He looked after us very well and was always puntual from start to finish. Thank you Jimmy and Jocky Tours! Definitely recommend! And the price was right!!
