I enjoyed both the organization of the tour and the tour itself.
I recently embarked on a 7-day safari tour in Kenya with Jocky Tours and Safaris, exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hell’s Gate, and Amboseli National Park.
Our journey began with two nights in the Masai Mara, where we experienced an evening game drive and a full day of exploration. On the third day, we opted for an additional hot air balloon tour, which was worth every penny, offering stunning views and a unique perspective of the park. We were fortunate to see many lions during this experience. We were especially lucky to have Francis as our driver-guide. He skillfully guided us to the most interesting spots in the park, constantly staying in touch with other drivers via radio and mobile phone. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, birds, their behaviors, and the parks in Kenya made the experience truly exceptional. Masai Mara was our favorite, despite the lack of activity on the Mara River, which, due to climate change, only sees migrating animals crossing in July.
Lake Nakuru was another highlight, where we spotted lions, white rhinos, and even witnessed a giraffe fight. Hell’s Gate was quite interesting as well, with Francis taking us to one of the geothermal power plants—an impressive sight. However, Lake Naivasha was somewhat underwhelming. If not for the additional paid visit to a local zoo, the time spent there would have felt wasted, as the included boat ride felt rather ordinary, similar to any other lake experience. Lastly, Amboseli was a world of elephants—we saw them in all their glory, from far and near, in the hundreds. Unfortunately, Mount Kilimanjaro was completely shrouded in clouds, which, as it turns out, is quite common.
Overall, I was impressed with the safari in Kenya. Even as a budget option, it provided excellent accommodations in both hotels and camps. Thank you, Jocky Tours, for this incredible experience!
P.S. Communication with Jocky Tours was generally quick via email. However, they were very slow to respond, or didn’t respond at all, on WhatsApp, which was quite unusual. On the bright side, they were very accommodating and had no issues rescheduling my tour by a day due to a flight delay.

Amazing safari experience
We booked with Jocky Tours the 6days masai mara-nakuru-naivasha tour + 4 days at amboseli national park. Communication with the team was effortless and quick with many options to accomodate our travel plans. Value for money is very good comparing to other similar tour operators and everything run smoothly.
In our trips we had 3 guides: Daniel, Salomon (masai mara and nakuru) and andrew (amboseli). They were super nice and explained a lit about the parks, the animals and in general about the kenyan culture.
Accomodations were clean and food was fine.
Would definitely recommend!

Well organized and trustworthy agency organizing high quality tours.
We had an amazing private 6 day trip organized by Jocky Tours. From the beginning communication was clear and easy, we finalised everything in a few e-mails. They always responded quickly when it was needed. The driver was on time to pick us up in the hotel and everything went according to plan. The experience couldn’t have been this amazing without our excellent tour guide (and driver). Peter (K) was a one of a kind guide through the safari, sharing lots of insights and interesting information about the animals, nature, culture, Kenya in general and many other topics. He answered all of our questions (and believe me, we had quite some). He was very flexible and reliable. Thanks to a combination of luck and his knowledge and efforts, we saw what was possible. Thanks to the agency and Peter, we could make the most of our first (definitely not last) safari trip and made unforgettable memories. Great value for money, we can only recommend this agency.

Special mention has to go to our driver Peter K. extreamely experienced safari driver ,which has been not only a guide but also a travel compaion, sharing, when asked a lot of information and insight on Kenian culture, wildlife and places. But on the other hand Peter has also been extremely respectful and discrete allowing us to enjoy our private tour in the best possible experience .

Amazing 6 days Safari tour with Stanley
We did 6 days Safari trip with the Jocky tours and it was one of the greatest experience of our lives.
Guide Stanley was just amazing. You can see he loves his job. He is very experienced and knows a lot about animals. Ask for him, you won't regret it.

Everything was perfect.
With a group of friends we went on Safari with Joky Tours. Today I know that it was a very good decision. The guide told many interesting stories along the way to the Safari. During the Safari itself there are also many interesting things about animals. We navigated the Safari trails efficiently. Here's a big bow to the guide - Josue. Accommodation okay (Safari - tents, Nakuru and Naivasha - hotels). The equipment is good. The food was a bit monotonous, but there was plenty of choice. The price may not be low, but it's worth the views. There are hidden costs for additional attractions in a few places.

Excellent tour with ROBIN
Robin did a great job— he went above and beyond. For instance, we were about to leave the Nakuru park and as we were leaving Robin got information about a leopard sighting. He immediately turned the car around and took us there to make sure we saw it. He also always made an effort to make sure we had the best possible view of the animals when there were multiple cars around.

Very exciting tour with an amazing guide - Robin!
The communication prior the safari was very clear. They answered all our questions! Everything was well organised and we had many nice surprises on the way! Robin was always making sure that we are comfortable and he was getting the best view of the animals for us! We saw many animals that are not so common in the parks.
The food on the way was quite repetitive and sometimes not the best but all the hotels and the camping were very clean and the staff was kind.

I booked a 3-day safari with Jocky Tours and the experience was amazing! Geeman is our tour guide and he is super helpful in our tour. He knows where to bring us to see animals (I saw lions, elephants, and even cheetahs!) and will provide us info on questions we had. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend.
