Great dynamic driver and very friendly, considerate and personable.
Edwin was an extremely good communicator as well as a very skilful driver. He arranged a taxi for us when we arrived back in Nairobi to take us to our accommodation which was 15 kms from the city. Edwin exceeded our expectations and we would have no hesitation recommending him for future tours.

Nice experience
We chose the 3 day Amboseli National Park tour. Before we arrived to Kenya we had a lot mail with Minneh, who was really helpful. The tour was very nice. Alex was very kind and he explained everything. We were totally pleased with him. Thank you again.

Everyone was very professional and making sure everyone is having a good time.
This was the first real safari I ever did and I had an amazing time.
Our guide in Masai Mara & the one in Naivasha were very professional and took really good care of us.
Everything was very well organised and there were no problems at all.
I had a great experience!

Excellent!
We just finished a 5 day safari in Kenya. We did 3 day Masai Mara, 1 day Lake Nakuru and 1 day Naivasha and Hells Gate Park with a group of 7 and had an amazing experience. Joshua from Jocky tours was an amazing guide and driver. Highly recommend this safari tour operator for its quality and price. Very professional and well run agency.

It was excellent, highly recommended
I really appreciate especially guide James, who took care of us 24/7. He is kind, helpful, and a great guide knowing all the tracks at national park, all the best places to observe as many animals as possible!

Good communication, fair price, wonderful tour guide (Evans was the best!)
We had a great time with Jocky Tours - from the start, the communication was great and it was clearly outlined what would happen in terms of our pick up arrangement, what was included and excluded in the package. Our guide, Evans, ensured everyone’s needs were met. He was a great guide, friendly and approachable. The accommodation was comfortable and food was good. Some confusion around water which was included in our package, we had to buy water at stages as the water being provided was limited. In our group of seven, all of us had actually booked with different agencies, at slightly different prices though this didn’t impact upon us in any way - it made sense to fill up a car with people who booked a group tour instead of having multiple cars going to the same place. We would recommend this tour agency to others, they seemed more professional than other agencies that booked customers in our group.

One in a life time experience
The safari tour was amazing! We booked through E-mail, we wrote with Minneh. She is very sweet, helpful and answers very quickly. They picked us up at our hostel, and we got in the van. Our drivers name was Isaac, he was wonderful! Very funny, helpful and did everything to make the trip unforgettable. The tents in the camp are more than we expected, with our own toilet and shower. The food there is excellent, the staff are sweet and friendly. We had an amazing trip and would love to go again. The only complaint we have is that there is no refrigerator and therefore only warm drinking water...

good office interaction, driver not perfect
Minneh was great helping get this organized at the start and was quick to respond to our questions and queries, which was fantastic. But there were some mixups on what time we were supposed to be picked up at our hotel to start. Not a big deal, but we were told three different times and ended up ready at 7am while the driver said he was told to get us at 8am. A bigger deal was the 45min wait at the tax office coming home while our driver sorted out permitting issues on the way out. Other safari teams came through the tax checkpoint quickly, showed their receipts, and left -- less than 60 seconds -- while our paperwork wasn't quite right, and so we waited and waited and waited.
The animals of course were great, which is what you want to remember from the experience. And Keekorok lodge, while dated, was a great location and had super friendly staff.
I'd probably be okay using Jocky Tours again for the ease of payment and organizing, but just double and triple check how things are supposed to go on timing. And maybe avoid Leonard as a driver. We didn't get as a warm a fuzzy with him as we might have liked -- he'd clearly done this a lot before, but spent a lot more time on his phone while driving that we would have wanted.

An unfortgettable trip
We did a 6 days safari-trip with jocky tours. They were very helpful in setting up a itinerary according to our ideas and made some suggestions themselves.
James, our driver, was an extremely nice guy who knew a lot about all the animals we saw. Everything was very well organized. Accomodation was good, the food as well. All for a very reasonable price. Totally recommended.
