Amazing safari
Denis our tour guide was great, he enabled us to see every single animal that we wanted to before arriving in Africa. All of the big 5 and many many more amazing animals. He had a good eye for spotting them and gave us plenty of time to watch the animals.
He is a good, and safe driver. Also kind and helpful.
Food was mainly okay, just the same every day gets a bit boring.
Few mishaps with accommodation, but the tour company resolved this.
Communication could be better.
We felt safe and well fed throughout.
Would recommend if you want to discover Kenya but stay on a budget, with basic, but clean accommodation.

Good budget safari, 6 days in Maasai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli
I came to see the animals. There were lots. The accommodations were rustic, semi-permanent tents and one well worn hotel. Meals were okay, nothing fancy. The guide, Moses, was knowledgeable, good at answering questions. He spent much time on his mobile phone while driving when he should have been concentrating on the road or talking to guests. Tour organization was spotty, beginning at departure when guests embarked then disembarked from the vehicle. Guests were divided between 2 camps, requiring a 15 to 20 minute commute morning and evening for pickups. If you are considering the 6 day trip be ready for hours of driving between parks. All things considered, an enjoyable trip, good value for money.

Great experience! We will recommend it!
We had been recommended Jocky Tours by a friend who did a Safari with them and we were so happy to have contracted it with them.
We had a great time!! Staff ( Isaac and Joseph) were VERY nice and friendly.
Joseph came pick usup at the airport even though our flight landed at 23.00 and then he dropped us in a hotel we had booked for the night. Next morning he came for us at 7.00 am, very friendly!
Isaac was our driver and guide during the 5 day Safari we did and he made us feel very welcome and safe.
He knew evreything there is to know about the animals and the environment. He did his very best so we could have an excellent view of the animals all the time, Thanks Isaac!
We stayed in a camp in Maasai Mara which was what we expected! Clean and safe. Friendly staff. All good.
We recommend to visit the Maasai village, it was interrsting to visit their houses and learn a bit more of their culture.
Lake Nakuru and Naivasha were great but maybe it could have been done in one day instead of two. However we enjoyed it much.
We transfered 15% of the payment in advanced through their website and itwas totally reliable. The rest we paid cash when we reached their office in Nairobi.
ASANTI SANA!

We rate Jocky Tours 4.5 stars; we would have given 5 stars if hotel in Nakuru had been better
The safari was a wonderful experience and James/Munyiri was a perfect guide! He was helpful and professional at all times; he shared his knowledge of the animal and plant life, and answered all our questions patiently and carefully. He was warm and pleasant. When on Thursday we drove along very muddy roads and one van after another was getting stuck, James proved to be the most skilled driver: he helped all the drivers get out of difficult situations and it was clear that the other drivers recognized and appreciated his skill. We felt safe with him at all times.
The only complaint we have about the safari was the hotel we stayed at in Nakuru the last night. Lanet Matfam was a sub-standard hotel: the rooms were very cramped, there was mold in the bathroom, and there was no place to sit. Certainly, for the amount of money we paid Jocky Tours, the accommodations should have been better.
All in all, we had a wonderful -indeed unforgettable — experience on safari, and we were thrilled that James was our guide! We will surely recommend Jocky Tours to others and we will encourage them to request James/Munyiri as their guide.

Everyone was very professional and making sure everyone is having a good time.
This was the first real safari I ever did and I had an amazing time.
Our guide in Masai Mara & the one in Naivasha were very professional and took really good care of us.
Everything was very well organised and there were no problems at all.
I had a great experience!

Albert was a great guide! Very chill, kind, and let us do all the things we wanted!
The tour was overall great! We got to see all the animals we wanted and also got to eat a lot of yummy Kenyan food as well. One thing I do want people to know about the tour though is the car rides are very long and if you get car sick easily this is one thing I would like you to take under consideration. But besides that, it’s great! Thank you for an awesome 4 days!!

In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best.
Masai Mara review
We had taken the Masai Mara trip with Jocky Tours. In summary, it was excellent and we had no complaints. Simon, our driver and guide was the best. We recommend a Matatu over the Landcruiser as it's cheaper and nearly same experience.
The communication over email and phone was perfect.
A longer feedback follows. They picked us up promptly from our place. We had a good drive with Simon to Masai Mara. The road is not very good but Simon was a skilled driver. The lenchada camp site was very good and our tent was really comfortable. During the game drives, Simon was very actively coordinating with others to make sure we see as much game as possible and was also very knowledgeable. He told us about the living habits, gestation period and breeding habits of each of the species. They also made us see the sunrise in the national park which was amazing.
The Masai village tour was also fun.
Overall we recommend the tours and ask for Simon as your driver and guide. He is really friendly. We saw a lot of game, great wildlife, good car and an amazing tour.
