The first and best safari..
Jocky tours gave us a wonderful safari experience.
It was a great trip. Me and my family enjoyed all the game drives at Masai mara, the accommodation, food, drive at Lake Nakuru and everything else.
Ms.Minneh arranged the trip really well.
Mr. John, our driver, was a very good guide for us there. He did his best to show us all the animals and places he could and gave us interesting small stories about the animals. A special thanks to him.
Altogether, we had a fantastic tour and enjoyed it to the core.
Jocky tours really lived up to the expectations we had.
The first impression is always the best, and we loved our first safari.

Great safari at a low price
Thank you very much for the great safari!
I have 5 times experience of tour with Jockey tours, and every safari was fantastic!
The driver has great knowledge and experience, and he has the skill to stop a car at the right place to take a photo of animals!
The Lenchada camp is very clean and comfortable, and has security guards of masai people all day and night. It really reassured me. As the security is very important in Kenya, I recommend the safety campsite.
The tour cost was reasonable, you might want to compare the price with another companies.

Very good organization of safari trip and friendly guide
This safari tour was very good. Thanks all employees of Jockytours! No complaints! Interesting trip with many animals and good weather! Our guide driver fulfilled all requests and told us many things about animal world! With the camps and meal we had no problems. Everything was in order! We can say, our safari tour has been well planned.

Best Value Safari!
John our guide picked us up from Nairobi, ad after an 'african massage' we arrived at our very comfortable tent.
With each safari drive we saw different animals with our guide stopping for perfect picture locations. Great value for money with a smiling guide for a recommended budget trip. We saw 4/5 of the big 5

Great Safari tour and wonderful experience!
We had a school group of 3 families; 6 parents and 4 young kids. I'm one of parents and the coordinator handling the tour arrangement. I contacted several Safari tour companies and Jocky Tours is the best from beginning, in terms of timely communication, knowledge and price. The company representative Minneh is very professional and responsive to all my questions. We arrived in Kenya in March for a 6-day tour, from Masai Mara to Amboseli. They picked us up at the airport at midnight, and dropped off on the last night, everything went smoothly, and it was a great Safari tour, seeing all kinds of wild animals and sceneries. Both parents and kids were so happy about the whole experiences and arrangement by the tour company. Our driver/guide Steve is exceptionally good, great knowledge, easy to talk, has sense of humor too.
Although it is a budget tour company, but to our request, they booked luxury and mid-level hotels , and still the best price, tour package, and quality of service.
Overall, this is a great and reliable Safari company. I would use them again, and highly recommend them as well. Thanks!

Good budget safari tour for three days/2 nigths at the Maasai Mara
We had a great time at the Lenchada tented camp managed by Jocky Tours and located close to one of the gates of the Game reserve. The driver (Peter) was nice and made an effort to come up close to the animals (i.e lions and cheetah). It was a very wet Easter weekend (rainy season) so there were many safari vans around and a good number of them got stuck in the mud a couple of times.
Despite all this, we managed to see most of the "big five" and some other herds of animals. Overall, the camp was good. We paid for budget accomodation so we didn't expect more than the basic necessities. The food was good throughout our stay, no complaints.
The only downside was that it rained for two days straight which made it impossible to do a full game drive as the vans would get stuck in the mud if we tried to come closer to the animals... I would recommend Jocky Tours as they have been in the business for a long time and offer great budget safaris.
3 day Masai Mara
We had such a good time on this trip. Even though we paid the lowest price for a safari we could find (and were therefore not expecting the best), we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Everything was included, except for drinks, but since we don't drink much, this didn't bother us. But there is always free coffee, tee and hot cacao.
Our driver/guide was super cool, making sure we would see everything and up close. Since we came during the low season there were very few tourists there, but we got lucky with the weather, which means we had the occasional lion or so to ourselves.

A Wonderful Experience
From the moment we were collected at the airport, everything ran smoothly with Jocky Tours. They brought us straight to the office to pay for our trip. As our tour was not starting until the following day, we had one day/night to explore Nairobi. The company arranged for a taxi to bring us to our hotel and collect us again that evening for dinner. We were brought to Carnivores restaurant which we thoroughly enjoyed. The following morning we met our guide, Martin, for the first time. He was fantastic! We were extremely well looked after and his knowledge of the Masai Mara was incredible. I would highly recommend Jock Tours and in particular I would put in a request for Martin, as I don't think you could ask for a better guide!

Wonderful experience
We had a private safari to Amboseli and Tzavo West organized by Jocky and enjoyed every minute of it. The minivan was comfy as can be with a professional driver who took very good care of our comfort and safety. With his persistency and experience he managed to show us all the animals we wanted to see including a lioness and a baby lion, which are not so many in Tzavo. The lodges in both places were ok, but one can pay for a more luxurious accommodation. We had all the costs negotiated from the beginning and were not asked for anything in addition. Reliable company

Professional Camping Safari
As a senior single female I found the camping experience to be very comfortable and safe. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the tent and the beds and bathroom with hot water shower adjoined to the tent.
The game drivers worked hard to reach every interesting animal encounter/occurrence of the day. I did the 4 day 3 night safari and was thrilled to witness lions mating, several lion kills, a leopard, a mother cheetah with 4 babies and much more. The birds are spectacular as well. I had 2 different drivers and they never gave up the chase to find great animal encounters and then wait patiently until everyone in the vehicle had taken all the photos they wanted.
Meals were filling in a serve yourself style with lots of tea and coffee included. Other beverages were available for purchase. The staff at the camp was very efficient as well as friendly and polite.
Overall this was an extremely good experience and I will recommend Jocky Tours to my friends as a trust worthy, well priced, good value for money company
