Exhaustive tour and great driver!
Jockey Tours did a great job of putting together an itinerary that was really great value for money.
Andrew was our driver for the 4 day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru tour. He did an incredible job going above and beyond the job description by offering all sorts of information about the animals and places we were seeing. I was really impressed by his handling of group dynamics and his energy throughout the early morning and long drives. It’s safe to say that no pot holes threw him off delivering a spectacular experience. Would 100% recommend him for anyone looking to safari in Kenya.
The only things we found difficult about this trip was out of the control of the tour operator or driver - rubbish in the village and the sheer number of tourists/cars seeing the wildlife. Would be great to see more information about the reality of human impact on the wildlife and future groups getting involved with helping the Masai village on projects and maybe rubbish collection could be a start…

Professional and very accommodating
I would highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris to anyone who is seeking a company who communicates well with their clients, offers reliable services that are above the value of your money, and provides kind and knowledgeable guides for the tours. I had an incredible time with Daniel and I would book again with Jocky Tours the next time I come to visit Kenya!

Jocky tours and travels is easily the best value for money company I have ever come across
Jocky tours and travels is reliable and amazing at the quality of service that they provide. From being picked up from our accommodation, Joshua our guide was so helpful and accommodating. The service provided was top notch and there are not enough superlatives to describe the quality of the service. I personally checked the daily charges for national parks and the value for money , given the cost for a day pass in a national park, alone is extraordinary. It honestly left me wondering the profits the company makes given the low price. Joshua the guide is amazing, I would recommend requesting for him. The in depth knowledge he provided about everything, from the flora and fauna to history and geography about Kenya as well as the cultural aspects was very informative. He patiently caters to your every wish and always has a smile on his face. He has excellent spotting and driving skills, ensuring you get the best views of all the wildlife and beautiful landscapes. He goes, above and beyond his duty of care and has made our family very happy. He is very reliable and you can completely relax knowing he's ensuring every need is met. From seeing a lion upclose withing touching distance, to seeing kilimanjaro's outstanding beauty. To seeing herd of zebras, wildebeest and buffaloes to even walking next to them in hells gate national park. The trip will forever be close to my heart and I cannot thank jocky tours and Joshua enough.

Excellent driver called Evans
We (family of 4) went on a 4 day safari to the Masai Mara and then on Lake Nakuru. Evans, our driver, was so kind, obliging and attentive to our needs. He was knowledgeable about the animals and birds we saw. My son was very keen to see a Cheetah. Evans found one on the first evening and we got very close to it. The next morning we even saw a Cheetah chasing a Wildebeest. Wow! What a sight! We saw all the big cats and big five including rhino and a Leopard (furtherawayup a tree). Overall the tented accommodation was fine but with a bit more effort Lenchada on the Mara could be more comfortable. (Somewhere basic to hang clothes and a toilet that was more than a foot off the ground, solar lightingin the dark bathroom during daylight when the generator is not on). Not having drinking water provided with meals by the lodges/hotel was also irksome. Overall, a great tour and 2 really nice parks. The success of it was in no small way down to our excellent guide. Thanks Evans!

Top safari mit professionellem Guide
We booked the three day safari tour with Jockey Tours. The communication in advance was uncomplicated via email and questions were answered quickly.
The safari is 3 days (2 nights). The camp is warmly run and the food is good. The tents were functional and perfectly adequate for the price. Electricity and hot water were available. Nevertheless, it got a bit cold in the evenings (winter in Kenya) and we were glad to have taken warm things with us.
The tour includes an evening, full day and morning safari. All had their own charm.
During our tour we saw a number of animals and 4 of the 5 so-called Big Five (only the rhino was missing) and marveled at the unique landscape with thousands of wildebeest and zebras.
Our guide Robert was very experienced, friendly and spoke excellent English. He planned the tour according to individual animal sightings of the previous days and seasonal features (great migration). As a biologist, he had well-founded and extensive knowledge of the individual animals, which even fascinated me as a biologist. We particularly liked his positive attitude towards the animals and nature conservation in Kenya. Overall, one had the impression in the masai mara that the drivers behaved well towards the animals (no chasing, animals are observed closely but also left alone and places of retreat are granted). We can only highly recommend the provider and especially Robert as a guide!

Amazing Experience despite one thing
Jocky tours, Isaac and John allowed us to have a great experience in our first safari in Kenya. Isaac was really helpful during all our stay. Just to write down, that despite it was not fault of Jocky tours and Isaac, someone, during our stop to have lunch in our last day of the safari, stole one bag from one person of the group. Despite that, an amazing experience. Maybe, regarding Jocky Tours I would not include this restaurant for future tours, as may not be safe for tourists. Thanks again Isaac and Jocky Tours for the experience.
