Once in a lifetime experience of African wilderness
This was my first safari experience. Overall, it was an incredible experience. We saw so many beautiful animals in their wild and breathtaking habitat, ate plenty of authentic food in a communal canteen, slept well in comfortable tents (at Lenchada Tourist Camp), enjoyed hot showers and were treated well by our hosts and driver/guide Joshua.
The only slight negative was that it is a long time in a vehicle. Our full day meant spending 10 hours in the car and even though we could stand up to look out the roof of the vehicle and had two quick pit stops, this felt like a bit too long and meant we decided not to go on the game drive on the final day as we already had the 5 hour drive back to Nairobi to sit still through. This is not a criticism of Jocky Tours, just the nature of this type of safari trip.
Our guide was good at explaining about some of the things we were seeing, but I would have liked him to be a bit more forthcoming. There was also some confusion about whether lunch was included on the final day and moments where Joshua had to work out how to please different people in the same vehicle having paid for different packages that included different hours game drives/different activities. This created a few awkward moments.
Other things to enjoy on this trip are meeting other people in your vehicle (there were 8 of us though not all staying at the same camp), others at camp and evenings round the fire with Maasi men.
Overall, would thoroughly recommend.

Amazing safari and excellent customer service
Excellent customer service: never had any other service replying so fast to all our questions throughout the preparation of our journey. Hellen, Minneh and Eric are all transparent and straightforward in their communication, which is very appreciated.
The safari itself was amazing! Rahim was our guide and we spent 6 days with him, in which he went above ans beyond to give us the best safari experience! He is very knowledgeable about the animals and overall such a great guy to hang out with! We had an amazing experience and can only recommend booking your safari through this company.

Unforgettable experience
The organization was great. Our guide Francis was the best! Always taking good care of the us and he knows Maasai Mara park by heart and where to spot all the amazing animals we came to see. What is more not only just to spot them but also to see them hunting, eating and copullating. Also the value of money was the best comparing to other companies.

6 day kenya safari: Masai mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli
The tour was fantastic and overall exceeded expectations relative to the price. The biggest contributor to this was our fantastic guide, Solomon. He was incredibly knowledgable about the parks, wildlife, history and culture. He answered millions of questions from the group and still took the time to point out hidden gems. He went over and above what is required of a guide and enhanced the trip with his humour and charisma. The trip would not have been the same without him; and we plan to come again with Solomon as our guide.
Manjaro camp in Amboseli was the highlight from an accommodation point of view. The bathrooms and lodging exceeded expectations and we will be back to visit again. Henry, Sapori and the team went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and VERY well fed.
The only blemish of the trip was that my girlfriend is very allergic to gluten, and this message (which was stressed before booking) was not relayed to the camps in advance. This meant they struggled to cater for her due to their remoteness.

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.
