Unforgettable experience!
Our safari was an amazing experience!
Our driver was Evans, he picked us up from our place in Nairobi. We got to Masai Mara around 3.30 PM, we put our bags in our tent (which had a separate toilet and shower) and went for an evening drive in the park. On the very first day we saw lions, giraffes, cheetahs, buffalos, zebras, Thomson gazelles, and hippos.
On the second day we got up very early, and after our breakfast we went for a whole-day-long game drive in the park (at 7 AM we were already watching cheetahs). We saw lions from only a few metres which was amazing. We also saw elephants, leopards, ostrich, and so many more.
Evans is a fantastic driver, who knows a lot about animals, and could tell us interesting facts about them. He was very friendly all along. He did everything he could to make this trip unforgettable.
On the last day we got up very early and left to visit Naivasha lake which we requested in advance, and we took a 1-hour long boatride (30USD/person, optional, not included in price). The lake is beautiful, and we could see hippos and a lot of birds. After lunch we went to Hell's Gate National Park, ticket was included in the safari price. We rented bikes (10USD/bike, optional, not included) and we were cycling in the park where were giraffes, zebras and buffalos around us. It was very beautiful.
We saw pictures about the canyon in the park, but guards there told us it would cost and extra 20USD to go there (short trip, longer was 40), which was very frustrating because we already paid the price for the ticket and it felt like an extra ripoff (it is on the park, not the whole safari). We were already cycling 6km-s, but we just turned around.
First day lunch, dinner, second day: breakfast, lunch (picknick), dinner, 3rd day breakfast, lunch, and bottled water for every day was in the price. I am vegan, and I had quite a few options. I was always full after the meals.
We paid 400USD for the whole trip/person. I booked it via email with Jockey Tours. It was totally worth it, I loved every minute of it!

Excelente choix
Amazing experience with Jocky Tours. I friend and I decided for 7 days safari including Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. Our guide Josh was really good. Patient all time when we wanted to have photos, good driver, and he could found some animals trails, which allowed us to see all the animals we wanted from really close. And all of that, with good price and a private safari with land cruiser. Eric from the company gave us all support for our questions and the lodges were just excelente. Good food and good stay. I recommend.

7 days full of fascination
Amazing experience with Jocky Tours. A friend and I opted for a 7-day safari that included Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli.
Our guide Josh was really amazing and explained us everything! We've been very lucky with our game drives - we saw almost all big five and even a lion even a lion that killed a hippo.
We saw al lot of different animals and I was able to take amazing pictures! Thank you so much.
Additionally the view and scenery in Amboseli with the Kilimanjaro in the background was amazing on our last day. And all those elephants crossing the roads in the morning and evening was impressive.
Amazing!
The only somewhat annoying experience was the stops for food and bathroom breaks along the way with the souvenir stores included. I am absolutely not a shopping type and found the salesmen a bit exhausting.
In any case, I can highly recommend this tour.
Thank you Josh and Jocky Tours again for this amazing experience.

Our Guide James was very kind, patient, generous, knowledgeable, highly experienced,&professional
It was a unforgettable experience! I absolutely loved it. It was our first Safari ever and it didn't disappoint at all. It was a 5 day Safari trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru lake, and Naivasha lake. Our Guide James was very kind, patient, generous, knowledgeable, highly experienced, professional and an excellent driver. He also had great communication skills and was really good in English. The 4×4 land cruiser jeep was very comfortable and spacious. While in the jeep, we could easily take breathtaking pictures from sitting or standing. We went with a a tiny group and we all wore masks. I highly recommend going with a group because you get to know new people and it's cheaper. Seeing the animals in the wild is 10 times better than seeing them in a zoo. You get to see them hunt, eat, and nap without disturbing them. We saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions, wildebeests, ostriches, hippos, hyenas, rhinos, all kind of exotic birds, turtles, Buffalos, warthog, jackals and impalas to name a few but not all. We went in the rainy season in May but that didn't stop us from seeing the animals and it does not rain all the time and not every day. They are a very straight forward, clear and honest agency. Everything we needed was provided from food to accommodation without any extra payments. They offered the best price in the market and they also offer safari trips to all of Kenya's destinations. We contacted them from our country via whatsapp and they provided us with all the info we needed and and answered our endless questions. If you are visiting Kenya, we highly recommend Jocky tours and Safaris and to ask to have Hames as your guide.

A Wonderful 5 Days Safari Trip With Jocky Tours.
It was a unforgettable experience! I absolutely loved it. It was our first Safari ever and it didn't disappoint at all. It was a 5 day Safari trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru lake, and Naivasha lake. Our Guide James was very kind, patient, generous, knowledgeable, highly experienced, professional and an excellent driver. He also had great communication skills and was really good in English. My advise to anyone is to go with the 4×4 land cruiser jeep because it is very comfortable and spacious. Also, if you are in a budget you can choose to go with a group. Also, while in the jeep, we could easily take breathtaking pictures from sitting or standing. We went with a a tiny group of five persons and it was safe during the covid pandemic as we all wore masks. I highly recommend going with a group because you get to know new people and it's a cheaper option. The prices that Jocky Tours and Safari offer are very suitable, responsible and the best in Nairobi.
They are a very straight forward, clear and honest agency. Everything we needed was provided .

If you are visiting Kenya, we highly recommend Jocky tours and Safaris and we highly recommend to ask to have Mr. James as your guide.

Excellent Tour and Guide
We are participating in safari in Africa for the first time. All our questions were answered for the 5-day tour with my wife and helped in all matters. Our tour guide James is an incredibly talented driver and very knowledgeable. It is highly recommended for Kenya tours, which you can safely choose in all matters.

Awesome tour guide, incredible memory!
Words can’t describe how amazing this experience was! James was so friendly and he took great care of our group. He shared so much helpful information along the way, and went the extra mile to help us find all the animals we wanted to see! The accommodations exceeded my expectations, too and the food was outstanding. I highly recommend James and Jocky Tours for an incredible experience and memory of a lifetime!
Trip of a Lifetime!!!
Wow!!! What an amazing tour!!! Our guide, James was on time, Professional and very knowledgeable about the area we were in. His driving kept us safe with no issues during the 4 day safari trip. James was very accommodating to everyone needs and courteous when we needed something. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide/driver than James. He made the trip very memorable and enjoyed every second getting to know him. Many thanks to him and Jockey Tours crew!!!
