Johnny was amazing!
This was such a great tour operator for my 7 day safari. The office was very responsive with all of my questions and helped plan my trip. Johnny Jackson was the driver and guide for the safari and he did an amazing job. We saw all the animals we wanted to see, was a safe driver and gave commentary along the way. The accomodations we stayed at in Masai Mara and Nakuru were better than I expected for a budget option. I would highly recommend Jocky Tours and Johnny Jackson.

Amazing!
Honestly, I loved this tour. Kikitu was a brilliant tour guide. He worked really hard, making sure everyone was happy and catered for! Even with some of our party moaning about everything, he remained a gentleman and did his best for us all. He managed to get us 4 of the big 5 in 1 day! Also, a massive thank you to James and Julius, whose passion for the animals really came across! The whole team was amazing, helpful, friendly and yes sometimes didn't run to schedule but they did the best with the circumstances.
Also they made my 40th in the Maasai Mara absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend this tour!!

Right choice
We travel to kenya with them for 25th Anniversary and they made to absolutely memorable for us.
We had a great travel guide/driver/storyteller/ historian KUSH he was very knowledgeable about the places , annimals and birds. He was safe driver and took care for us very well. His eye to detail made our 25th anniversary celebration more musical and exciting.
To rate the company I would give them 5 stars 🌟 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
It was an incredible experience, food and accommodations were just perfect
Do not hesitate to book with jocky tours, they’re responsible and organized to make your experience amazing. I went on a budget but meals, accommodation and service is five star. Special greeting to our guide Albert, always so responsible and responding to our questions, and also knows a lot about animals. 😊

The best jungle style guided tour with David
The tour guide David was super funny and accommodating, he had great knowledge of the Masai Mara area and provided us with a great safari experience. The lodge was very clean and food was delicious. We heard animals during the night and enjoyed chatting with Masai Mara people by the fire.

We saw it all! (minus a leopard)
7 day safari Maasai Mara-Lake Nakuru-Lake Navaisha- Hells Gate-Amboseli.
A great safari choice! Jocky was helpful and accommodating from the booking process thru the end of the 7 day safari.
Be ready to sit in the car for most of the safari. No matter what safari company you choose… buckle up. We drove at least 1,200 km in 7 days. But it’s totally worth it to see everything. I promise.
We loved the itinerary that Jocky offered. All the parks are so different from each other so the change of scenery every day or two was perfect. I also loved the stop in hell’s gate. It was nice to be able to get out of the car, stretch your legs and walk/bike around and enjoy the scenery. The lodging we were given each night was also very nice. For a budget accommodation package we received amazing food and hospitality. We stayed at Lenchada Tourist Camp, Buraha Zenoni Hotel, Chambai Safari Hotel, and Manjaro tented camp. At Lenchada and manjaro camps we were supposed to stay in tents but got upgraded to rooms since it’s the low season and they were unoccupied. So that’s a positive about going in the low season.
Last but not least I cannot thank my driver enough!!! Joseph, you were such a lovely and knowledgeable host. Joseph’s 10 years of experience really showed, he knew these parks like the back of his hand. Joseph knew all the spots to find the big 5. He was able to get us multiple lion, rhino, and cheetah sightings. (You’ll see the rest of the animals no problem). Joseph could spot a rhino laying in the bush from 300 yards away. It blew my mind. Unfortunately we did not spot a leopard but that just gives us an excuse to come back! So close to seeing the big 5!!
Our visit in November was during the low season and we were lucky to not receive any rain on our game drives. I can’t imagine what it’s like to witness Kenya in the peak of summer or during the great migration.
I highly recommend a Kenya Safari,
I highly recommend Joseph,
I highly recommend Jocky Safari
Pro tip: do some research on animals you are going to see. It makes the game drives so much more interesting and you learn what to look for. For example, black rhinos are often in pairs so if you see one there’s probably another close by. Example 2, male antelope herds are far more susceptible to becoming prey. So if you see a male herd, keep your eyes peeled for a big cat looking for dinner. Sorry for the long review, I hope this helps. I’ve traveled to 25 countries and this was by far the coolest experience I’ve ever had.
