Jocky Tours showed me God's Own Den !!!
5/5

Hi,

I am from India and my long time wish to visit Kenya finally happened with the help of Ms. Minneh and Jocky Tours.

In India, the state Kerala is also called as "God's own country". Similarly, I call Kenya as "God's own Den".

We went to Kenya for 10 days. The itinerary was planned by ourself and Jocky Tours helped us to fine tune it. 4 days in Masai Mara, 5th day drive to Nakuru and on the way we visited Lake Naivasha, 6th day - Lake Nakuru, 7th day drive to Aberdare and on the way visit Thompson Falls - stay at The Ark. 8th day - drive to Amboseli. 9th day - full day Amboseli safari. 10th day - drive back to airport.

Ms. Minneh was very responsive to all our mails and replied very well to all our queries. The driver/guide she assigned to us was very good and always in an enthu to take us out on safari. The vehicle she provided was also good. The picnic lunch that she arranged were a real picnic lunch in the middle of the national park and were very filling.

This trip has left me wanting to go back once again to Kenya. Maybe, next time I plan to visit Samburu National Park and Sweetwaters.

Asante Sana (Thank you so much in Swahili)

Time of our life!!!
5/5

Everything was perfect. When we arrived at airport nairobi we were welcomed by jokeytour staff. Our jeep was there, we left immediatly for 8 days tour to masai mara and serengeti tanzania. Perfect driver, taking good care of us. I was ill 1 day during the trip and he helped very good. The lodges were perfect, good food, of course the big 5 and lots of animals.

One of the reliable safari operator in Nairobi Kenya
5/5

I have joinned with Jocky Tours and Safaris by 2times in Massai mara(Nakuru/Amboseli) and done 2times private safari in Sampure/ Sweatwator and Amboseli since June 2012. Last time I have experienced the safari with Jocky Tours and Safaris was in Feburary 2016 this year. This time I had to go to Arusha Tanzania and have
tried this private safari in Amboseli and finish safari in Namanga border tranfering to the shuttle to Arusha.
Jocky Tours and thier driver have doned this iternary as I have talked with Minneh in advance by E-mail.

First of all , Jocky is Minneh 's company who is a founder of this company and her husband Alex who is also
a very nice man with always smile and warm heart is now doing a car service company in Nairobi to help
us foreigners to visit a sightseeing places in Nairobi.
Not only the Jocky's founder Minneh 's continous efforts but also thier familiar atmoshere in her staffs in this company are the my impressive points in this company. I have been able to remember thier each faces and names even now in Japan because most of all the staffs are no change even for almost 5years. This is same as thier safari guide and drivers in this company. I remember also their names in Jockys driver even if I could not designate the safari driver in advance.
Every time my safari driver in changed but their quality in safari guide and driving techniques are maintened more than the standard levels in this safari field.

I have been introduced Jocky's name by my Japanese friend and I have now explained by myself every time when I have chances to talk about Kenya/Tanzania safaris in Japan.

Last to mention is :; my English is not good but Jocky Minneh can understand my japanese English well
and this is my most important factor to select the safari company to start with safari planning. propriate
comunications and understanding thier rquests and backgroud each other is the most important even
their cost is not the cheepest. There is one japanese speaking woman in Jocky office who I have not yet met but this is also one of the familiar point for our japanese safari lovers in Japan.

So ,I strongly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris in Nairobi Kenya among many safari companys there.

Perfect trip and great safari!
5/5

Let me express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for your cooperation. Thanks to you and your colleagues, the well-organized program during my stay in Kenia allowed me to take a closer look at your country, to feel and understand its nature, its character, to come closer to its people, to get new friends and partners that made possible to me finding new ways for bilateral contacts.
Such chances and possibilities will surely contribute to further development of economic ties and tourism between our countries and also might open new ways to mutually beneficial cooperation.
My special thanks goes to Mr. Richard, Mr. Eric, and our perfect driver, guide and simply a very good friend Peter for the unforgettable safari and comfortable transfer and accommodation. What a pity that we didn’t have enough time to discover all the beauties of the Kenian National Parks and the Kenian wildlife. But it simply gives us one more occasion to come back with new expectations.
Once again, thank you for all you have already done for us and accept my best wishes and good luck in your future endeavors.

Great budget experience
5/5

We booked a budget safari for 6 days and the mount Kenya trek on Sirimon route. Everything went really great from the very first day. During the safari, our guide Joshua was really helpful and gave us all the information we needed. This enable us to see the Big 5 of Kenya. Our mountain guide Joseph was also great in all aspects as well as our cooks Douglas and Nafali. I absolutely recommend Jocky tours.

A once in a lifetime experience
5/5

One of our best holidays. We saw all but one of the big five game animals and many more, including watching the wildebeest crossing the Mara river. Our tour guide Joshua was excellent; he was friendly and very knowledgeable. The camp we stayed in was lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful and the tents were clean and had hot showers. The only improvement would be to stay in a better hotel in Nakuru, even if this incurs an extra fee. The Golden Palace hotel was not in keeping with the high standard of the rest of the trip and was the only let down of the five day safari.

Thank you very much Juliet for the positive feedback. We have noted the recommendation on Golden palace hotel and taken the necessary step of changing our partner hotel in nakuru. We highly apologize for that. Going forth we will try and advise our clients on that. Looking forward to hosting you again.
