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.

Incredible and unforgettable experience. Amazing safari guide.
We had an incredible experience on our safari with Jocky Tours for our honeymoon, thanks in large part to our exceptional guide, David. He was not only amazingly kind and professional but also demonstrated an impressive ability to spot animals quickly and brought us to the parks very early each day so we could optimise our time and opportunity to see all of the animals. He was very punctual every day and great to chat to during the long drives. His keen eye and extensive knowledge of the wildlife made our journey truly unforgettable. He is an excellent driver and we felt completely safe throughout. Throughout the trip, he ensured that we were comfortable and happy, always ready to answer our questions and share fascinating insights about the animals and their habitats. David ensured we had a unique experience which involved a trip to a Masai village which was unforgettable, a boat trip on Lake Navaisha and a cycle and a hike through Hells Gate national park. We got to see the Big 5 and many many more. It wasn’t just the Safari we enjoyed but the whole experience and Jocky Tours are great to deal with and at a very reasonable price. All of the accommodation and food was great. We highly recommend David to anyone looking for an outstanding safari experience!

Good service for an affordable price, Expect Anything ;-)
Jimmy has been a wonderful friendly guide through out the tour. His careful but at the same time adventurous driving helped us to see good places in the park and our experience was great. He took time to explain each animal that we saw on the safari and so it was a good knowledge session as well. If you are with families/kids, Jimmy is the right person due to his careful driving.
The boarding facilities were reasonable and we were decently surprised with the food in a good way. Some delicious food for sure!

Joseph is an amazing tour guide who really walked the extra mile to make our trip worth while.
I did my market research prior to finalizing our travel arrangements and found that Jocky Tours offered some of the best deals out there for this kind of activity. The camps and lodging facilities that they use are the same facilities that other pricier tour operators also go to yet they are able to offer more affordable packages. Overall, we enjoyed every minute of our trip and owe it all to Jocky’s Tours and our wonderful tour guide, Joseph!
