Excellent tour with friendful guides and clear organization!!
Excellent tour with friendful guides and clear organization !!
All interactions and communications were very operational and understandable. All the prior agreements were fully complied, and my expectations were fully matched. The level of service is excellent, very attentive guides Richard and James (on safari) and Daniel (on excursion in Nairobi), completely satisfied all the wishes and left the most good impression. Accommodation is also completely satisfied - the camp is very comfortable and I really liked it, and the hotels carry a colonial style and have a great place for a photo session. Safari tour itself was very successful, we saw all the animals of Africa and many times - thanks guides for this. Really liked the day in Nairobi - glad that did not fly away immediately and gave myself the opportunity to relax and enjoy the interesting places of the city - the guide organized everything perfectly.
Overall I am very pleased and grateful for the opportunity to visit Africa. There was not a single problem or complexity, everything went perfectly !!

Amazing safari with really professional guide and management team!
I really highly recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris to your budget safari in Kenya.
I was recommended by one Spanish friend and since the first e-mail to Minneh she demonstrate to be really professional and always answering all e-mail in couple of hours.
She was really patience and clear when explaining me all options of safari and always clear and fast to answer all my doubts (price, what was included, options of parks to visit, how many days).
Since the first e-mails, I was always filling really comfortable and safe to my pick for Jocky tours.
We made a small transfer few weeks before our trip to guarantee our safari, and never had problem with the transfer. Everything went well and Minneh never pressure us to make the transfer.
Me and my girlfriend we had our flight delay for 24 hours to arrive to Kenya and Minneh was always keeping track of us and made last minute changes by our request so we could made the necessary changes for our Safari. We had in the beginning the 7 days safari and because we were arriving one day late to Nairobi and we already had our trip back schedule, Minneh made all the changes request by us without charging anything extra, she also decrease the full day safari cost of the day we lost.
Our driver for the 6 days was Raymond. Really professional driver, really good guide in the Park and always listening to our most crazy request. If we want Lions, Raymond drove us to Lions or whatever we asked him.
He was always polite and really respectful of our space. If we wanted to understand a little about Kenya or other topics he was always willing to talk, but if we were tired and want some silence he really respected that. Really recommend Raymond as a driver and safari guide.
We choose the budget safari, where you sleep on tents and you share the van with more people. If you want to visit Kenya and you are traveling with limited budget this is your choice. The experience to sleep in tents and share the van are not as bad as it looks like. The experience is amazing. The places we stay are normal, but clean and comfortable and of easy access to the safari. We are a young couple but we saw a lot of families and older people with the tent option too. I highly recommend, it’s just more real than a 5 star hotel.
I´m writing this review to highly recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris for your budget safari in Kenya. Before booking with them I tried to find more reviews online but because they are local operators I could find too many. This is why I’m writing to express how satisfied my girlfriend and I were with our pick to safari operator.

A great 3 day budget safari to the Masai Mara that surpassed all expectations!
Excellent communication from making the initial reservation with Minneh through to Daniel and safari guide John! Minneh was so helpful and answered any questions I had, keeping me informed about specifics for my pickup. Daniel the driver collected me at the time specified and as traffic was really bad going into central Nairobi from Karen, he was able to plan a route that intercepted the tour bus and did not delay anyone. The safari driver John that we spent the most amount of time with, gave us a safari to never forget. We saw the big 5 and so many more animals up closely. The van was spacious enough for those onboard with plenty of water for all and whilst there are larger, more plush vehicles in the Masai Mara, you’re seeing the same animals driving the same bumpy roads for a fraction of the price of some of the other tours. This truly made it excellent value for money and John delivered informative commentary throughout. The Rhino camp was comfortable enough with a hot shower after it warmed up. The food was tasty too. Overall I’d highly recommended it if you’re looking for a budget safari with a good company.

IT was absolutely perfect!!!!!!
Everything was perfect, the pick up at the starting point, the facilities, the guide we had during the safari.
Above all, the guide (Joshua) was very good, he found out where all the animals were, he explained very interesting things to us and it was very pleasant during the 5 days that our experience lasted.

Great Safaris experience with Jocky tour
I joined the Masai mara 3 days tour. Our driver was very experienced. On the safaris tour, he was very quick to move to the good location where we could easily take photos of wild animals including elephants, lions, giraffes, and cheaters. Also he was very helpful and friendly to us during our entire tour.
I stayed at a tent, which was clean and comfortable enough. Meals were good enough so I think the price of the tour was pretty reasonable. Overall I can strongly recommend Jocky tour based on my experience.

Great experience with Jocky Tours at Masai Mara
We had great experience while we were visiting Masai Mara and Nakuru. Guides were helpful, communicative, tried to show as many animals as possible. The lodge had comfortable bed and hot water. The food was tasty. We highly recommend this company as they have done everything as they promised.

7-days individual tour. Rating 4,5.
We took an individual tour for the family.
Preparation of the tour - an assessment of 4 out of 5. Our consultant Minneh was really flexibile and adaptabile to our requests. Not only the trip plan was individual, but also the selection of hotels and camps took into account my wishes found on the booking sites. As a result, we got a good price for the tour with good quality - thanks Minneh and Jocky Tours. The disadvantage was revealed during the trip, when it turned out that 2 rooms for 3 people had been booked in one place, and we used only 1 room, which allowed placing 3 people. It was possible to save us some money. But as a whole I'm satisfied with Jocky Tours.
Evaluation of the tour and guide/driver is 5 out of 5. Accommodation, meals, transfers were organized very well. Driver Kikitu - friendly, incredibly positive, sociable and pleasant person. With him we felt comfortable and calm. His diligence and activity enabled us to see almost all the animals we wanted. Thank you very much, Kikitu!
