Amazing experience and things to remember!
5/5

We booked a 6 day safari with Jocky tours in the middle of July. Our itinerary included visits to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the Amboseli. Though we were absolutely delighted with the sights and animals we saw during the trip, there were some things we feel we need to share with those who are thinking about taking a safari. First of all, among all the companies that organise safaris Jocky tours seems to be the best (it is the largest and the most reliable). All in all, there were no major issues with accommodation or services but you need to know what exactly is included in your
plan and what isn’t, otherwise you are very likely to be charged extra. Second, what driver you get is a matter of luck. Apparently, there are no guidelines for drivers on how they should conduct themselves on safaris so some of them might be more engaged with their tourist groups than others. We were driven by Robert, a rather skilled driver, who turned out to have a background in evolutionary biology so we got to learn a lot about the animals and their habitat. However, we heard from other tourists that other drivers
weren’t so knowledgeable and didn’t bother stopping when they asked them to.
Finally, there were some issues related to old dollar bank notes not being used in the country. Though it isn’t directly related to the company, the company representatives might have informed us in advance about the need to pay with new notes. Apart from the things listed above, everything was great - the safari we had was absolutely fantastic (we got to see all the animals!), the vehicles were fine, the accommodation lived up to our expectations and the food was good as well. All in all, we found our trip an incredibly exciting and fulfilling experience (adventure even) and definitely recommend the company!

Great service, awesome experience
5/5

We did a 5 day Safari to Massai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha lake, including Hell's gate national park. Everything was on point. The company was very professional, ready to answer all of our questions before and during the trip. If anything went out of the itinerary, they were quick and polite to amend any inconvenient. A huge highlight of our trip was our driver, Jeff. Such an amazing guy, always smilling, polite, professional and ready to give you the best experience you could get.
With no doubt, jocky tours delivered everything we needed for our trip.

Amazing safari experience
5/5

It’s such an amazing safari experience.
Our guide John is an expert of animals. He can answer all the questions that we asked on the way. He is patient, warm-hearted, very experienced of course. wifi is prepared in auto, and he cleans the auto everyday, even we normally start very early, which make our time in auto more comfortable.
We see much more animal than we thought. More than satisfied!!
