Professional and very accommodating
I would highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris to anyone who is seeking a company who communicates well with their clients, offers reliable services that are above the value of your money, and provides kind and knowledgeable guides for the tours. I had an incredible time with Daniel and I would book again with Jocky Tours the next time I come to visit Kenya!

Exhaustive tour and great driver!
Jockey Tours did a great job of putting together an itinerary that was really great value for money.
Andrew was our driver for the 4 day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru tour. He did an incredible job going above and beyond the job description by offering all sorts of information about the animals and places we were seeing. I was really impressed by his handling of group dynamics and his energy throughout the early morning and long drives. It’s safe to say that no pot holes threw him off delivering a spectacular experience. Would 100% recommend him for anyone looking to safari in Kenya.
The only things we found difficult about this trip was out of the control of the tour operator or driver - rubbish in the village and the sheer number of tourists/cars seeing the wildlife. Would be great to see more information about the reality of human impact on the wildlife and future groups getting involved with helping the Masai village on projects and maybe rubbish collection could be a start…

Memorable Trip to Kenya with Mr. Khalifa (Jocky Tours)
We had 4 days trip of Masai mara and Lake Nakuru. It was organized in a very good manner from pick up to drop off at airport. Our tour guide Mr. Khalifa was amazing and his very nice behavior with all the group members (including special support to senior citizens) is really appreciable. His enthusiasm to show animals was incredible. It's an unforgettable trip for us.

It was a great experience
We went on 6 days safari: Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Park. The whole trip went smooth and according to the plan. Our guide Jeff was really good. He spotted a lot of animals for us. He was very helpful and professional. Masai Mara was the best. We saw lots of animals there. We even managed to see a lion and a young leopard from very close. In Lake Nakuru we saw white and black rhinos from far and lots of flamingos. There are many elephants in Amboseli Park. We were not able to see Kilimanjaro, because it was very cloudy, but we took many photos of the animals. We enjoyed our safari and we're very satisfied with our guide Jeff. We will never forget this trip. Thank you Jocky Tours!

Well organised and lots of fun
The Jocky Tours and Safaris 7 day tour is definitely worth the money - you get to see so much with a lot of variety. Everything is well organised and runs smoothly. We got to see the Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli.

Better call Sol(omon)
We booked a 4 day, 3 night Naivasha-Nakuru-Masai Mara, private trip with Jocky. Minneh helped us tailor the trip and offered a great price. She was responsive and flexible. The company also provided drinking water for the entire trip.
We were extremely fortunate to get Solomon as our driver/guide. He knows the Masai Mara like the back of his hand and was extremely successful in tracking the animals. It was also amazing spending time talking to Solomon - he helped us understand the culture and told us some great stories about Kenya. He was very easy going, extremely punctual and very thoughtful. We ended the tour completely mind-blown by the wildlife, while also making a new friend in Solomon.
I did a lot of research before selecting Jocky Tours. It was a good decision as i believe they provided a phenomenal experience at an extremely competitive price.
Tips:
- Get the Land Cruiser. It is a lot more comfortable
- If staying at Lenchada, upgrade to a deluxe room. Definitely worth the price (bathrooms are so much better in the deluxe room)
- It is possible to fit Naivasha and Nakuru in one day. Naivasha is worth it for the boat ride and the nature walk
- Ask for Solomon (aka the Savannah Cowboy)

Highlight of our Kenya Trip
We were so lucky to have Solomon as our guide for the Safari. It was four of us and we booked a 3-day Safari via Jocky with Day-1 spent in covering Naivasha and Nakuru, Day-2 spent in traveling from Nakuru to Masai Mara and an evening game drive, Day-3 on a full day game drive in Masai Mara and Day-4 in heading back from Masai Mara to Nairobi.
Our experience of making the reservations through Jocky was smooth, but the real highlight of our trip was our guide Solomon. Solomon has over 15 years of experience of being a Safari guide and knows Masai Mara inside out. He is a great professional and an amazing person. During the Safaris he was extremely proactive and always prioritized our comfort and wildlife sightings. Apart from being an amazing guide in the parks, he was also fun to hang out with. He has a great sense of humor and entertained us with a number of stories of his encounters with wildlife in the park.
We had a really memorable trip to Naivasha, Nakuru, and Masai and I can honestly say that a HUGE part of that was because of Solomon.
So if you are planning your visit to Masai Mara and want to have an amazing time, you Better Call Sol.

The tour was well planned. Our Guide, Mr. Khalifa was amazing and as the rest of the team.
The tour started on the time, everything that was planned was implemented smoothly. Every day was amazing, be it the transportation, the stay or the food.
P.S. Try your luck on getting Mr. Khalifa as the tour guide, your trip will be memorable.

A ray of sunshine
I had never been on a Safari and was not sure what to expect. Jocky tours, and especially Raheem, our driver, made sure that our experience was nothing short of magical. Raheem is experienced, professional, friendly, and, extremely knowledgable. We were greeted early every morning with a big smile and taken to explore the corners of the Maasai Mara and Nakuru parks, seeing more animals than we thought possible in their national habitat and learning interesting facts about the parks, animals, and culture. Thank for making our Safari experience unforgettable!
