Would recommend and book again with them.
Incredible experience that I don't think anyone would not absolutely enjoy.
The accomodation was clean with comfy beds and hot showers making it hard to get up in the morning. There wasn't much waiting around though the tour always doing something and seeing the animals that came to see. Our guide Leroy was friendly and very knowledgeable of all questions asked of him.
Tour communication was good when booking and picking up/dropping off. would recommended

Everything we'd hoped for!
We did a 5-Day Private Kenyan Safari with Jocky which included Masai Mara, Nakuru, Navaisha, and Amboseli. The tour was for my teenage son and myself. This was our first trip to Africa.
I chose Jocky based on the reviews - and I am so glad I did! They were excellent to work with in the planning stage, answering all my questions. No problems or concerns on that end!
Our guide was James Gichina, and he was EXCELLENT! We saw the Big 5 and everything else we wanted to see! James always managed to get us "front row seats" to all the action and animals - he was very intent on making sure we were satisfied at every turn. I have no idea how he was able to manage the parks/reserves so well, but he knows those places like the back of his hand. Sometimes he would instinctively lead us to where animals were hiding, and other times he would get a tip on the radio and speed up to get us right into the spots where animals were spotted by others. James was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.
All 3 lodging sites exceeded my expectations - Enkorok Tented Camp, Nakuru Lodge, Amboseli Sopa. The staff at each location was absolutely lovely and the food was fantastic each night.
The safari jeep was clean and just as we imagined. Plenty of water available.
I HIGHLY recommend Jocky (and James Gichina!) to anyone looking for a wonderful safari experience in Kenya!

Highly Recommend and Great Value
Papa was a great guide and also a great driver!
The Masai Mara was an amazing experience, from seeing the animals in their natural habitat, having picnics close to hippos, and meeting the Masai tribe, myself and my partner have memories that will last forever.
Lake Nakuru has a totally different landscape (with different animals and birds) and it was great that it was included in the itinerary.
The accommodation was top notch, it was great to eat traditional Kenyan food whilst discussing what happened during the day with fellow travellers.
Great trip!

The most stunning safari!
The safari with Benjamin was amazing! He was the best guide/teacher about wild life. The whole time we felt really secure. Benjamin told us so much about the animals we saw. Also he showed us so many animals that are not easy to spot. He made the safari unforgettable! Asante sana!

An adventure of a lifetime to Maasai Mara!
The booking was very easy, and they were responsive to all my questions. As a female solo traveler, I want to feel safe and prepared, and they definitely helped me out with that.
I would recommend you make absolute sure with the tour operator about how to pay for entry into Maasai Mara, and be prepared for this on the day of. This was literally the only thing that went "wrong" for me, but it was fixed quickly.
Our driver and guide, Benjamin, was incredible. Very friendly. He has a lot of experience, and it shows. He was a fun person to interact with, and he was good at getting 4 sets of strangers that packed into his vehicle, to become a team, together! We were all bonded at the end of this short trip!
Everyone involved in making this trip happen for us were punctual, for the most part. Lodging was great, peaceful, and had delicious food.
Maasai Mara is one of the most beautiful places I have ever experienced. The animals were incredible, as well!
Even though the entry fees for high seson into Maasai Mara are very steep, I would say this experience is truly priceless. If you have a chance, go!
