They were efficient and Iwe had no issues with payment, starting and ending the safari.
I communicated with Minneh of Jocky Tours & Safaris through email and she was very prompt at answering all my questions and concerns. It was very easy to pay the deposit and even the remaining balance before the start of the trip. Evans our driver and guide throughout the entire trip was a fun guy to be around. We learned a lot about the animals and environment that we did not know about. Evans was also very accommodating to our needs and always asked if we were okay. I would highly recommend this tour group for future travellers. When we decided to tour again, we'll definitely be using them again. Cheers to you all for a job well done. Thank you!!

A great combination of price-worthiness and exclusivity
We were looking for a condensed, exclusive two-day tour to Masai Mara and Jocky Tours turned out to be a great choice. Our experienced guide Joshua took good care of us from the moment we met and together we shared an unforgettable journey. Going from Nairobi via the Great Rift Valley, Narok and through Masai regions was a unique experience by itself, and the stories and experiences Joshua shared with us during the days added huge value to our trip. Masai Mara was even more breathtaking than expected and after two intensive days we had encountered all the wildlife you could wish for. We had a great stay in a tented camp close to the park, with friendly staff and members from a nearby Masai tribe welcoming us in a great way.
While the safari tour even exceeded our expectations, the planning proceeded very smoothly as well - from the initial contacts with Minneh to Joshua dropping us off at our hotel. I would definitely recommend Jocky Tours for anyone who is looking for a great combination of price-worthiness and exclusivity.

Excellent safari experience with Evans
The whole experience was amazing. Our driver Evans was brilliant. He could spot animals so easily whilst driving on the tracks on tricky terrain. We saw all of the big 5 in the Masai Mara. Evans was very knowledgable about all of the animals and birds.

It was a wonderful experience. I was travelling alone and taken care off very well. It's worth it!
The communication with the company through Minneh was so easy. She assisted me all through out. I had to change my planned dates at the last moment and Minneh made all the arrangements without a problem. She also made sure I was taken care off well in the entire tour. They picked me up in my hotel on time. Our driver/guide Evans was amazing. He made sure everyone in the group was comfortable and enjoying. It was a good group size (5-7). I was surprised with how nice the accommodations were and the food was also good (most of the time buffet). The game drives were amazing. You will be surprised each time with the sightings of the animals. Evans made sure we saw the best sightings and off course the big five! The other people in my group had only 4days and Minneh arranged me a private tour at hell’s gate with a very good guide named Dan that also works for the company. I was brought back to the door step of my hotel satisfied. I paid the cheapest but excellent and worth every penny safari tour in Kenya! I will definitely recommend this tour company and will use it again when I go back with my family.
Best safari ever, accomodating, well organised and well priced!
Such a good safari, we saw two kills, 4/5 of the big five! John the guide went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. Accomodation basic but all you need, and the staff are lovely and food is great!
Overall excellent experience!

Impressive tour
I had an excellent out going tour guide (Kikitu) he made the experience fun and really interesting.
Some of the hotels used could be better upgraded. Asides that, the sights were really good and eye opening , I am glad I went on the tour

Great experience and the tour! You'll get your money's worth
We did a 5 day tour with Jocky Tours and it was an exceptional experience. There are so many tour companies out there with different programs and prices, but after all, it all comes down to whether you'll have the good guides and Jocky Tours had just that. Our guide was Evans and he knows his stuff and he is professional, friendly, and fun!
I highly recommend Jocky Tours!

Great experience for a good price
I booked my 5 days safari tour including Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate just 2 days before the start. I requested the tour via safaribookings, got an offer really quickly, confirmed it and was ready to go.
The tour started from Nairobi with our excellent driver Kikitu , we went to the Masai Mara and saw a cheetah and lions already on our afternoon drive. The next day we spent from early morning till late afternoon in the park, went to the mara river and saw all possible animals except the rhino. The highlight were 9 lions eating a zebra. The next day we visited a masai village, which is optional and a bit too much touri show, but also interesting.
Then we started the way back and I switched the car in the middle of the way, because I had 2 days more and headed to Nakuru, while the others went back to Nairobi. The next day I did with a new small group the game drive in Lake Nakuru Nationalpark and finallly saw the Rhinos. Big 5 complete. I highly recommed to add Lake Nakuru because the chance to see Rhinos is high, while it is very low in Masai Mara.
After that also the people of the new group went back, while I came to a hotel in Naivasha.
On the last day it was only me, so I got a private tour to Hell's Gate, took a selfie with a zebra, because you can go out of the car in that park and we went through a beautiful canyon till the end to the devil's bedroom. After Hell's Gate it was also time for me to go back to Nairobi, which we reached in the afternoon.
I was very happy with the tour, the drivers and guided were all very nice and spoke good english, accomodation was okay for the price and safari experience was absolutly amazing. So if you look for a budget tour with a great safari experience, just book with Jocky Tours and Safaris.
