Efficient, organised, friendly
Myself and my partner visited the Masai Mara & Nakuru over a 5 day trip. We were picked up from our accommodation on time, taken to the offices in Nairobi to finalise payments & paperwork and then we were on our way! Driving to Mara was tiring, but stops were made along the way to stretch the legs/buy snacks and drinks. We arrived at our camp where lunch was prepared upon our arrival. After lunch, we went on our first game drive which was excellent. We did a total of 1 afternoon drive & 2 full game drives (with packed lunches prepared), and it was safe to say our trip would not have been half as good if it wasn't for our outstanding guide and driver Soloman. He was professional, knowledgeable and most of all, friendly. 16 years of experience clearly paid off as the sightings were simply magical. We cannot thank Soloman enough for his efforts.
The food is basic, but sufficient, and the accommodation is basic but comfortable & clean. The hosts at the camp were extremeoy friendly and happy to help in anyway.
If you choose Jocky (which you should!), ask and keep your fingers crossed for Soloman as your guide & driver. He is the reason the trip was 5 stars.

Amazing safari
Beautiful game drives, excellent organization, and an amazing group. Our guide, Sir Charles, was always available and patient. He explained many features of the animals and loves good music. Highly recommended.

Unscrupulous behavior
If you want a preview of the contract, before paying the deposit, they will end all communication with you. That doesn't sound too serious. It seems more like they want to have you in their fist first and then you will have zero chance of negotiating any changes.

It’s not a holiday, but an adventure!
I highly recommend Steve and Jocky Tours. Had an excellent safari experience where Steve took care of all the details so we didn’t need to worry about anything and he made us part of his “travelling family” for five very enjoyable days. I greatly appreciated Steve’s flexibility in the schedule dependent on our respective interests and his ability to navigate the vehicle into a good position for viewing the wildlife. Thanks Steve for a fantastic African adventure!

5 Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha Budget Tour
This was a great trip with Steve our guide in our Jeep called Spy Girl. We managed to see all of the big five animals as well as lots of other animals including a cheetah, with Steve managing to get us into prime photo positions for great shots of the animals, thanks heaps for that Steve. 👌
Jocky tours were easy to work with being quick to respond to questions we had pre tour as well as organising things during the trip. The accommodation is budget but was not a problem anywhere. Meals everywhere were great and nice to have it all included.
Only thing to warn people about is the Masai Village visit which is of course optional. Was very interesting to see how they live but be prepared for the hard sell both at the village and if you go visit the school. They expect you to buy something and give a donation to the school. They don’t like it when you say NO!
Would recommend booking a safari with Jocky Tours and having Steve as a guide.
Excellent Tour with a good prize
Everything worked out very well and as promised with a good prize. Our tourguide Caleb was very friendly and experienced. He was very helpful when one suitcase was stolen at Masai Mara. He informed all tribe people in the sorroundings and after the efforts of the Masai people the suitcase was found and sent on to our next hotel. Although this was a Budget tour the hotels were appropriate and clean. Especially the Manjaro tented Camp was simple but wonderful situated with a great view to Kilimandscharo (Henry was a perfect host). A great tour for a small budget.

Reliable and service centered Tour operator
We just came back from a wonderful 7 day Safari through Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli. It was a very unique experience. Thanks to our experienced tour guide Caleb, who knew all the best places, we saw all the animals and also learned a lot about their behaviour and their habits. We had a lot of time watching and enjoying Africas beautiful nature. Caleb was always helpful and made sure that everyone of our family was happy, he was able to answer all our questions and also provider a lot of insight into lokal habits and traditions. Although our tour was a budget tour all accomodations were decent and clean places with good food and very friendly staff.

Special trip to Africa
This travel agency is affordable and has reasonable arrangements. Our guide, Dennis, was very gentle, courteous, gentle and patient. We happened to meet the Kenyan protest, who took good care of us and was a reliable friend. The hostel arranged for us to stay in the Manjaro Tented Camp in Amboseli, which has a view of Kilimanjaro, the hostel's owner Andrew was very helpful, and there were herds of impala in the hostel's courtyard.

Great Safari with my family
We had a wonderful 6 days safari.
I travelled with my husband, my mum and my 2 years old child.
Our driver Dickson took care of our well being - he wanted us to really enjoy our safari
He always listenned our needs and did his best to make us feel happy for this incredible experience.
As he speaks French, it was easier for my mum.
We were lucky to meet 4 of the big 5 + a guepar.
My daughter was so happy to see " Papa "Lion, zebras, elephants, hippopotamus...
We have many beautiful souvenirs of this trip.
Thank you Dickson!
NB: In the 6 days safari, it is written that we could stop in Navaisha Lake, hell Gate but the timing is toot tight. So, it is better to focus on Lake Nakuru.
There is no boat ride included too.
