Great team with an amazing guide/driver
I did the 7 day lodge trip (not an option to choose for review). This was the trip of a life time and such a dream. First I want to say a big thank you to our guide and drive Julius! He made this the best tour I have been on and just took care of me the whole time. It was a birthday trip and Julius made it extra special by having my hotel in Maasai Mara pack me up a cake and he had my group sing happy birthday while on the game drive. I can’t think of a more special way to have been celebrated! I would highly recommend this tour and asking for Julius as your guide. He is knowledgeable, helpful, fun and extremely nice. This tour was such a good value and the team at Jocky were super helpful and responsive to all my questions.

Francis is passionate about his job. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience!
From the beginning Jocky Tours was easy to communicate with, returning my emails, extremely promptly, regardless of what time of day it was. When we went to find the office, the directions were good however, the office was not marked from outside the building. Having a sign outside, the building would be helpful. We decided to pay in cash to avoid the 5% credit card charge. Everything was exactly as they advertise for our three day, tonight to are staying at Jambo Mara and the evening and day tour. Francis gave us the option of going immediately to the park on the first day so we would have a longer time in the park and we saw all of the big five! When we talk to the service staff in the lodge, they were surprised that we saw all of the big five! He is passionate and devoted in his job! It really shows how much he loves what he does! I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone.

An excellent choice for budget travellers who still want to experience Kenia's national parks.
We had some trouble paying for our safari because my phone had been stolen and I didn't have access to my bank account. Their office staff handled the issue in a very courteous and professional way, many thanks for that!
All the camps and the hotel we were staying at, albeit basic, offered everything we needed. The food was good, and the camp in Amboseli offered a stunning view of Kilimanjaro.
The hotel in Nakuru almost felt too luxurious for a budget safari.
Our driver and guide, Dickson, was friendly and knowledgable. In particular, we felt his road driving was a lot safer than what we saw from many other safari vehicles.
In summary, if you're looking for a budget safari, we can definitely recommend Jockey Tours.

Francis is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and accommodating. We had a great time!
The three-day Maasai Mara safari has been awesome. Our tour guide, Francis, knows the park and the animals and really seemed to enjoy providing us all with a great experience. We ended up seeing all of the Big Five, including the rhino that I really wanted to see! Francis was also very accommodating of the guests; answering many questions and giving us some options for pick up, rest stops, etc.
The accommodations at Jambo Mara have been very comfortable. The glass cabins are spacious and clean, the grounds are beautiful, and the buffet style dining offers plenty of options.

Jockey Tours and our guide, Daniel were fantastic and designed the perfect safari experience!
Fantastic trip - our guide daniel was amazing at his work and really understood the animals but was equally respectful of them.
We got to see such amazing wildlife the accommodation was lovely and Daniel was just great fun to be around. 10/10 would recommend Jockey Tours, the masai mara tour and Daniel as a guide.

Jockey tours were an excellent tour provider- we couldn’t be happier!
Our experience of the 4-day budget safari with Jockey tours was amazing. Incredible value for money, clear communication and very helpful agents. The service was second to one and the accommodation was really amazing- clean, great food and really nice facilities. We even heard hyenas from our tent at night which was amazing!
Daniel, our driver for the 4 days was brilliant. He was very welcoming and hospitable and very good at his job. The view we got of the animals was unbelievable and his knowledge and respect for them was really clear.
My partner proposed whilst on this trip- it was like in a film and I want to thank Jockey Tours for making this such a special moment. I will never forget it!

An absolute legend!!!
We booked this tour through our hostel and had Fidel as our guide for a 3 day safari. We had the most incredible time! Fidel was an absolute legend - very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. He did everything he could to ensure we saw every animal. We were constantly surrounded by lions and elephants and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I felt very safe the entire time, despite being so close to the animals. Fidel knew the best spots. We stayed in the tended accommodation. The food was incredible, and beds were very comfy.

Perfectly organised. I have spent 1 night in Lavasha lake and 3 other nights in Masai Mara.
Fully recommend when making a booking to choose Sir Charles as a driver. During all these days I have learned a lot and managed to see all The big 5. Sir Charles always gives us a support in all our needs and requests.

Fast and proffesional
Felt safe in the african rollercoasters with Geeman behind the wheel. Loved the experience and good job getting close to the animals.
