Best experience in Kenya ☀️
This trip was amazing, we saw a lot of animals very closely, including the Big 5. Our driver Evans always did his best to find good spots and give us information. Evening and meal organisation was also well manages, closed water bottle are always available in the car. Despite we did our safari during low season the weather was perfect. Jocky tour is a very good choice for quality and budget safari.

Our tourguide Albert was amazing.
We can only recomend taking the safari tour with Jocky Tours. We got an amazing tour guide Albert who drove us from Nairobi to Masai Mara, around the Safari and back to Nairobi. Albert took us to see most of the animals really up close so we have beautiful pictures and memories. His dring skills were great, we went offroad couple times and he managed to drive in water and mud. We stayed in Mid-Range Jambo Masai Mara Resort which was beautiful, quite fance and the staff took great care about us. To sum it up, everyone went above and beyond to make sure we have a great experience. Thank you!

Great experience
I did a budget 3 day tour staying in lechanda camp. It didnt disapoint. A fantastic authentic safari experience. Jimmy the tour guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. Food was fresh tasy with choice of veg and meat. The camp felt safe. The tents had plenty of space to move around in plus electric points and toiket shower Staff were always ready to help. Overall great value for money on the budget tour. I would def recommend for those who dont want to spend a fortune but still have the experience of a lifetime.

I had the best time in Kenya!
I did the 5 days Masai Mara budget tour with Jimmy as our driver and guide.
Everyone in our jeep felt safe with Jimmy as our driver expertly navigating the rough rocky/muddy roads with mad skills. He was always checking up on me, and being a female solo traveller I find that to be really thoughtful.
The highlights were that we saw some Nat Geo worthy scenes in real life and some animals came real close to the jeep which was just incredible to watch. Definitely pay a little more to visit the Maasai village and learn about the Maasai tribe.
Whilst the food and accommodation was really simple and basic, it’s really good value for money in terms of the experience gained and friendships forged.
The trip was nothing short of incredible and would definitely recommend it to my friends and family that are interested in going on a safari.

Unforgettable Experience
Just got back from the 5-Day Safari and wow, what an experience! The wildlife sightings were incredible - we saw everything from lions and elephants to zebras and giraffes, all in their natural habitat. The Masai Mara, in particular, was just breathtaking.
Our accommodations were also great - comfortable, clean, and perfectly located for easy access to the parks.
However, there were a couple of minor issues I wanted to mention. Some days felt a bit short, and we ended up back at the accommodation with not much to do. It would have been nice to have some optional activities or excursions planned for those downtime periods.
Also, a heads-up about the locals would have been appreciated. Many were friendly, but some were quite persistent in asking for money or trying to sell souvenirs. I ended up giving away more cash than I intended. A little advice from the tour guides on how to handle these situations would have been helpful.
Overall, though, I would definitely recommend this safari. It's a fantastic way to see some of the most amazing animals in the world, and the price is very reasonable. Just be prepared for some downtime and bring some extra cash for tips and souvenirs!

Nice relaxed expeirmce
We flew for a safari in May 2024, just after the floods in Masai Mara. We opted to stay at Mara Sopa Lodge. We booked with Jocky Travels. Overall, experience, however, things are a little bit more laidback. They picked us up from the airport, we went to the office, when we finalized our booking, and then set off for the Safari. The trip to the national park took about 6 1/2 hours, when we reached, we had lunch, and relaxed for some time. At the Lodge, they switch off electricity between 3 PM to 5 PM, on a daily schedule, which results in Wi-Fi, lighting, and hot water being turned off.
The next day, we set off, Shortly after 7 AM, and had a full day safari, where we saw animals we were expecting to see. We returned to the lodge around 3:30 PM, and did the same thing the following day. On the next day, we did a mini game drive, and then drove back towards Nairobi. Overall, a good experience.
Our driver and guide, Dickson is highly recommended, He knows a lot of spots where the animals are, and was able to give us some good insight. He was also able to spot animals from a great distance, and key in making our trip more enjoyable.
