Great animals and sights!
I took the five day tour and had companions on the standard 3-days to Maasai Mara and was by myself for the last 2 days. Of course, Maasai Mara was wonderful (the optional visit to the Maasi village is highly recommended.). The intriguing part of the trip is Hell's Gate national park where you can bike and hike, a pleasant change from being in the van. Nothing like riding right by giraffes crossing the path! Yo kinda have to go with the flow. I'd recommend bring along some sealed snacks.

Jocky Tours - Very Good Value Budget Tour
After a lot of search for Budget Tours to Masai Mara, I chose Jocky Tours .I chose their 3 day Masai Mara Tour. I chose them because they were the cheapest tours available. I kept my expectations low. On Day one, We were picked up from a residence in Nairobi around 8am and was driven in a Toyota Van. The Van driver / Guide was an amazing driver. The roads in Masai Mara are a bit treacherous as they get very muddy during rain. Van is not a four wheel drive and one has to be an expert in driving in those conditions. We got to Masai Mara around 4pm and was immediately taken around for an evening game drive. Next day it was a full day game drive. On day three we left for early morning game drive and then headed back to Nairobi.
The Van: There was lot of mud in the seat. The tour company should clean up the van very well before picking up the guests.
The Camp accommodation: We stayed in a tent. It was clean, It had comfortable beds , mosquito nets. Electricity is available only for 4 hours between 6pm and 10pm and for about 3 hours in the morning. In night it is pitch dark. One should carry lights. The water in the camp is horrible. We were forced to skip shower for couple of days. Buy big can of drinking water from outside.
The Guide: The guide hardly spoke about the geography, the animals etc. However he showed all sorts of animals including a leopard which is hard to spot. All the drivers have radio and many tour operators share the information about animals with each other. The guy was very brave. He parked the van very close to cheetahs, lions as if he was parking them close to a dog. We infect took a selfie with a lion.
Food: Food was okay.

Great safari experience
I had a really great safari experience with Jocky tours. We were very lucky to get close to animals and had some great photos. Many thanks to driver Martin, he was great.

Once in a life time experience
Our experience was excellent. From the beginning the communication with Erick was quick and he answered all my questions. The itinerary was followed perfectly and our experience was amazing. Next time I would probably skip lake Nakuru. The trip was too long for the time we spent in there. The guide was ok, I would have liked a bit more explanations though. Overall, Masai Mara exceeded our expectations and having done it with Jocky Tours allowed us to enjoy it a lot.
Apart from the safari, we did a city tour in Nairobi as soon as we landed. The driver was waiting for us on time, and the last day they dropped us at the airport.

Awesome experience.
The Safari was awesome. Everything was up to the mark. Only one thing I felt was the last day of the tour ended in just 2 hours. We could have been longer in the park and seen some more wildlife. The first day took us almost full day to reach the destination. We hardly got to see anything on the first day. Second day was the awesomest.
Third was disappointment.

Unforgettable safari experience with Jocky Tours
We went on a 10-day safari in Kenya and we are extremely satisfied with Jocky Tours. We had absolutely no problems starting from the initial emails to Minneh to the drop off at the airport at the end of the trip. Minneh is very friendly and responsive. We never had to wait for more than a day to hear a reply from her. The overall cost of the safari was very reasonable even though we had a customized itinerary. We had our own private safari vehicle and John, our driver cum guide was beyond excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the national parks and the animals and we had a number of excellent sightings of the big five. Our accommodations at Amboseli (Kibo safari camp) was excellent and a nice end to the safari.
If there was one thing that could have been better, it would be the accommodations at Masai Mara and Nakuru. We were in a camp at Masai Mara and in a regular hotel in Nakuru city. Both these places were clean and comfortable but it could have been better. One suggestion to Jocky Tours would be that they should offer the customer the option of staying at slightly more expensive campsites/lodges and then let the customer decide if they want to pay more or not.
But overall the entire experience was wonderful and I would definitely recommend Jocky Tours!

Jocky Tours showed me God's Own Den !!!
Hi,
I am from India and my long time wish to visit Kenya finally happened with the help of Ms. Minneh and Jocky Tours.
In India, the state Kerala is also called as "God's own country". Similarly, I call Kenya as "God's own Den".
We went to Kenya for 10 days. The itinerary was planned by ourself and Jocky Tours helped us to fine tune it. 4 days in Masai Mara, 5th day drive to Nakuru and on the way we visited Lake Naivasha, 6th day - Lake Nakuru, 7th day drive to Aberdare and on the way visit Thompson Falls - stay at The Ark. 8th day - drive to Amboseli. 9th day - full day Amboseli safari. 10th day - drive back to airport.
Ms. Minneh was very responsive to all our mails and replied very well to all our queries. The driver/guide she assigned to us was very good and always in an enthu to take us out on safari. The vehicle she provided was also good. The picnic lunch that she arranged were a real picnic lunch in the middle of the national park and were very filling.
This trip has left me wanting to go back once again to Kenya. Maybe, next time I plan to visit Samburu National Park and Sweetwaters.
Asante Sana (Thank you so much in Swahili)
It is a nice safaris with Jocky tours.
The camp security is best beyond the expectations. Everything is safe. Jocky Tours also has a good arrangement on the safaris. We found out many kinds of animals.
Besides when we arrived at camp, the power socket does not work until we left, even though i drived the service manager in the camp, it is not convient.
