Johnny was an excellent tour guide who made the experience one we will remember forever.
Johnny was a fantastic tour guide who made sure we all had fun, we learned about the many animals in the park, and provided us with an amazing experience to see all of the animals up close.

We had an exceptional experience in Masai Mara with Johnnie.
Johnnie took us on a 3-day tour of Masai Mara from Nairobi. We had an exceptional experience.
Johnnie did everything to make sure that our safari experience was as thorough as possible and went out of his way to accommodate many of our viewing requests in the park — we were able to see lions, buffaloes, and elephants (three of the Big Five, which was significant given the time of year and length of the tour), giraffes, zebras, birds, among others. He is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and answered our questions about the park and wildlife. The comfort level in the 4x4 was high, and we were able to get in close proximity of the animals.
The accommodation was comfortable, with a spacious tent, private bathroom, and satisfying meals (with substantial vegetarian offerings).
We would strongly recommend this tour to others.

Excellent tour led by a fantastic guide (Johnny)
We saw almost all the animals we had hoped to see. Our guide Johnny was knowledgeable and knew all the right places to see the lions and cheetahs, and was also very friendly. I would recommend.

Very well planned tour
I did a 4 day safari with Jocky tour, joined by other co-travellers. The driver and guide, Danis was punctual, experienced and extremely friendly. He showed us around Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru leaving no stone unturned to make sure we were happy with the sightings. We were able to see almost every animal due to his efforts and time management. The company has a great team as evidenced by well managed tour in terms of accommodation, food and the safari experience. Five stars!!!

Excellent 3 days' Masai mara tour
I had planned 3 days Masai mara , Kenya tour, along with Victoria falls ( Zambia + Zimbabwe) & Chobe National Park, Botswana trip and from Tripadviser rating, I chose Jocky tours from Nairobi, for Nairobi to Nairobi Masai mara 3 days tour on our way back. In one sentence, I can say that they fully deserve the 5 *s ! First during planning stage, Hellen was very prompt in answering all queries. I asked for Mara Sopa lodge & I shall recommend it whole-heartedly due to it's nice ambience, service & food quality. They arranged for airport pickup & drop at nominal price. All Kudos to our driver-cum-guide Richards 👌👌👌 - he was very enthusiastic & jolly and took special efforts, so that we could see all animals at close distance. Overall I would whole-heartedly recommend Jocky tours 👍👍👍

Simply Excellent, he was behaving as if he is relative/ mediator of all animals, especially LION
Jockey tour was excellent. We were 13 batchmate of Dr vmgmc of 1977.
We celebrated 65 birthday of everyone at the masaimara.
No words to explain it and felt the best.
We were treated as if We are the owner of Jockey tour and travels.
This expression is more than enough

He was very cooperative, flexible and considerate.
Proper guidance and deciding about itinerary was given. The actual tour operators Richards and Roger were very cooperative, informed, considerate and flexible in arrangements. Their behaviour was very polite and their tenacity in safari was commendable. Five stars to both of them and Khalib.

Nice relaxed expeirmce
We flew for a safari in May 2024, just after the floods in Masai Mara. We opted to stay at Mara Sopa Lodge. We booked with Jocky Travels. Overall, experience, however, things are a little bit more laidback. They picked us up from the airport, we went to the office, when we finalized our booking, and then set off for the Safari. The trip to the national park took about 6 1/2 hours, when we reached, we had lunch, and relaxed for some time. At the Lodge, they switch off electricity between 3 PM to 5 PM, on a daily schedule, which results in Wi-Fi, lighting, and hot water being turned off.
The next day, we set off, Shortly after 7 AM, and had a full day safari, where we saw animals we were expecting to see. We returned to the lodge around 3:30 PM, and did the same thing the following day. On the next day, we did a mini game drive, and then drove back towards Nairobi. Overall, a good experience.
Our driver and guide, Dickson is highly recommended, He knows a lot of spots where the animals are, and was able to give us some good insight. He was also able to spot animals from a great distance, and key in making our trip more enjoyable.

Unforgettable Experience
Just got back from the 5-Day Safari and wow, what an experience! The wildlife sightings were incredible - we saw everything from lions and elephants to zebras and giraffes, all in their natural habitat. The Masai Mara, in particular, was just breathtaking.
Our accommodations were also great - comfortable, clean, and perfectly located for easy access to the parks.
However, there were a couple of minor issues I wanted to mention. Some days felt a bit short, and we ended up back at the accommodation with not much to do. It would have been nice to have some optional activities or excursions planned for those downtime periods.
Also, a heads-up about the locals would have been appreciated. Many were friendly, but some were quite persistent in asking for money or trying to sell souvenirs. I ended up giving away more cash than I intended. A little advice from the tour guides on how to handle these situations would have been helpful.
Overall, though, I would definitely recommend this safari. It's a fantastic way to see some of the most amazing animals in the world, and the price is very reasonable. Just be prepared for some downtime and bring some extra cash for tips and souvenirs!
