Excellent Safari Experience
Everything went smooth and we had tons of fun! The guide, Jimmy, was very accommodating to our needs and made sure we had a great experience! We saw a lot of animals and definitely recommend this Safari. It was also a very good value.

Reliable Safari service
I took a 3 day safari tour and stayed in the Jambo Safari lodge. The pre-tour communication could use some work as I had to message them the day before to confirm my pick up was still happening as no one had reached out to me. They were quick in their reply to confirm my pick up was happening. I was picked up at my hotel at 7:45AM by Daniel and brought to the tour office to make my remaining payment for the tour. I recommend bringing cash or arranging to pay for the tour online somehow before coming as I had a 5% credit card fee which made me pay $40 extra. The transit from the office to the Maasai Mara was a bit rocky. There was an accident blocking the road for the route they were meant to take so all the tour companies decided to take another road which was actually quite dangerous causing 2 jeeps to flip over (not ours… our driver Charles K was pretty good). Everyone was okay. Our game drives through Maasai Mara were excellent. We saw 4 out of the big 5. The protests/demonstrations in Nairobi cut our time in Maasai Mara short as our driver had to leave early to ensure we made it back to Nairobi safely. My stay at Jambo Mara Safari lodge was also quite pleasant with hot water to shower and no insects inside my cabin and a diverse selection of food to choose from the buffet. Overall, i would recommend booking with Jocky Tours.

Awesome safari with the best guide (Kikitu)
Jocky’s 7 day safari was an outstanding experience overall. Everything was very well organized and communicated and I could not have wished for a better guide than Kikitu. He’s such a funny, cheerful and knowledgeable character who always made sure everybody’s wishes were taken care of. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great safari experience with lots of animals in Kenya. 🇰🇪

Johnny is a very experienced, customer-focused and friendly guide!
Awesome tour! Johnny our guide is very experienced and took leads in finding where the animals are and always ensure we get the best spot to view them! He is super friendly and easy-going. When I come back here next time with family, I know who I want to be my guide!

more than expected experience
Johnny Jackson is a very experienced driver and tour guide who is gifted to smell where animals are. We met almost all the big 7 and the amazing beautiful sunset. Masai is a place that make memories. The bed is comfortable, work staff are friendly. You can sit by the bonfire and see stars and moon clearly at night. The truck has quality wifi during the safari, no need to worry about the internet connection. The time arrangement is reasonable. Additionally ,John can speak English very well and a little Chinese. I would recommend him as your tour guide especially if you are from China. All in all , it’s an unforgettable experience.

Dickson is an all star tour operator!
My 4-day Maasai Mara/Nakuru safari with Dickson was phenomenal! I was traveling by myself and was a little bit nervous initially, but Dickson made me feel right at home! It was fun being “copilot” for our group’s journey! We got to see the big 5 along with the difficult to spot cheetah, leopard, and black rhino! Dickson always masterfully maneuvered the crowds of vehicles to ensure that we all had a good view of the animals, and he was very knowledgeable in answering all of my questions! When I accidentally left my sunglasses at the accommodations in the Mara, Dickson arranged for them to be brought back to the office in Nairobi without me even having to ask. The Jocky staff are also all helpful and accommodating! My safari experience wouldn’t have been the same without my amazing guide Dickson. If you have the chance to go on safari with him I 100% recommend it! You’ll be in for a fun and amazing experience!

Good
The experience was over all amazing.
The game drive was awesome, we had a very calm, polite and sweet guide Jimmy (I’m giving him a 20/10, he is just amazing). I’m recommending him. We had the opportunity to see the Top 5 animals (Leopard, Lion, Elephant, Rinno and Buffalo)We had a picnic in Massai Mara on the second day, it was really a greaaaaaat experience.
Giving a 4 stars because the lack of communication with the agency.
Hellen was very responsive on emails but when it’s comes to coordinating the pick up at my place it was terrible. They sent the driver at 7,15 as agreed but didn’t gave him my number so he couldn’t contact me, i was still waiting for him until they called me at 8.30 to inform me he was downstairs waiting for me. So make sure to ask about name and number of the driver a day before
The Hotel (Jambo mara) is nice, with good employees. I had a bad room on the first day, apparently the hotel was full, I didn’t receive any communication about it. They made a Room change the next day. There was no hot water in the rooms and it’s winter time.
Booked and paid for a Massai Mara village visit but it didn’t happen again no communication from the agency.
I do recommend the agency, but make sure you ask all the needed information and point out all your needs.
And Again Thank you Jimmy you made this trip unforgettable. You are appreciated

Absolutely incredible safari experience with a very organised guide and company
Myself and my wife did the 7 day Masai Mara/Nakuru/Naivasha/Amboseli camping trip with Jocky Tours and it was absolutely amazing! It was our first safari and met all of our expectations.
We had Joseph as our guide and he was brilliant throughout the trip, being very patient and always getting us to a suitable place to take good pictures of the animals. His knowledge had us seeing the 'Big 5' within 3 days but also plenty of other animals and he was very knowledgeable telling us about the different animals when we had questions.
We booked this safari through Jocky Tours as they had excellent reviews online and the tours seemed like very good value for money. They were very flexible when we asked to push out the tour by a day but keep the tour the same and the facility to pay by card was also appreciated (there was a 5% extra fee for this but it was outlined beforehand).
We booked the tour in the 4x4 jeep and feel it was worth the extra cost ($40 total extra) as it could go off-road in more places than the vans with more comfort. We had no more than 8 people in our group which was an ideal size.
Overall we highly recommend this safari and company and would book with them again.
