Amazing safari experience
It’s such an amazing safari experience.
Our guide John is an expert of animals. He can answer all the questions that we asked on the way. He is patient, warm-hearted, very experienced of course. wifi is prepared in auto, and he cleans the auto everyday, even we normally start very early, which make our time in auto more comfortable.
We see much more animal than we thought. More than satisfied!!

Great service, awesome experience
We did a 5 day Safari to Massai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha lake, including Hell's gate national park. Everything was on point. The company was very professional, ready to answer all of our questions before and during the trip. If anything went out of the itinerary, they were quick and polite to amend any inconvenient. A huge highlight of our trip was our driver, Jeff. Such an amazing guy, always smilling, polite, professional and ready to give you the best experience you could get.
With no doubt, jocky tours delivered everything we needed for our trip.

Amazing experience and things to remember!
We booked a 6 day safari with Jocky tours in the middle of July. Our itinerary included visits to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the Amboseli. Though we were absolutely delighted with the sights and animals we saw during the trip, there were some things we feel we need to share with those who are thinking about taking a safari. First of all, among all the companies that organise safaris Jocky tours seems to be the best (it is the largest and the most reliable). All in all, there were no major issues with accommodation or services but you need to know what exactly is included in your
plan and what isn’t, otherwise you are very likely to be charged extra. Second, what driver you get is a matter of luck. Apparently, there are no guidelines for drivers on how they should conduct themselves on safaris so some of them might be more engaged with their tourist groups than others. We were driven by Robert, a rather skilled driver, who turned out to have a background in evolutionary biology so we got to learn a lot about the animals and their habitat. However, we heard from other tourists that other drivers
weren’t so knowledgeable and didn’t bother stopping when they asked them to.
Finally, there were some issues related to old dollar bank notes not being used in the country. Though it isn’t directly related to the company, the company representatives might have informed us in advance about the need to pay with new notes. Apart from the things listed above, everything was great - the safari we had was absolutely fantastic (we got to see all the animals!), the vehicles were fine, the accommodation lived up to our expectations and the food was good as well. All in all, we found our trip an incredibly exciting and fulfilling experience (adventure even) and definitely recommend the company!

Robin our tour guide-knowledgeable, punctual,organised, charismatic and the best tour guide possible
Great value for money. If you are lucky enough to get Robin as your tour guide you will have an amazing time. He is able to get you so close to the animals, an amazing driver and knows so much about the animals and history of the Masai Mara!
The whole trip was a once in a lifetime experience and I would recommend to you!

Value for money arrangement.
We have booked our Nairobi to Nairobi safari package from Jockey tours and safaries.They were on point on service. Lenchada camp at Masaimara and Hillcourt hotel and spa was good enough.Kimana safari camp at Amboselli was okay okay.Could have been better.However our guide Solemon was exceptional.He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic..I would highly recommend him..

Professional and reliable operator providing amazing experienc
We went on a 6 day (5 night) safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with Jocky Tours. We had such a great time!
Our guide Charles K was a very professional and amazing guide, he knew all of the parks very well and always got us to the best spot to see the animals. He communicated perfectly with the other drivers and collected info, therefore we were able to see everything, for example lions hunting and mating, baby elephants bathing and sleeping while protected by his mother ect. We saw the big five and even more:)
Charles was an excellent driver both off-road and on the road, we felt perfectly safe with him. He was always kind and helpful.
We booked a budget safari as a family with two teenage kids and I have to say the first two accomodations were fine. The third place we stayed at had rather basic rooms but we had such an amazing view to Mt. Kilimanjaro from the dining space and the staff was so kind that we ended up liking that place too.
I definitely recommend going with a 4x4 jeep as its more comfortable and has bigger windows than the minivans. So you will be able to see more even when seated.
All in all the safari was above our expectations, many many thanks to Charles for this amazing experience!

Jocky was super organized since the beginning. Robert is an excellent guide.
Despite the increasing prices of the park fees (not control by Jocky Tours) the price is super fair. We had an incredible adventure and Robert was an amazing guide finding the animals, clarifying our questions and sharing is knowledge. Jocky tours is a very efficient company that had everything organized since the beginning.
Robert was very nice, knowledgeable and great at finding all animals
Responsive and everything was well organised. We had the perfect guide for our adventure.
