An adventure of a lifetime to Maasai Mara!
5/5

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!

Efficient and Professional
5/5

We did the 5 day tour including Maasai Mara, Naivasha and Nakuru, we enjoyed the whole experience. Our guide, Dennis, friendly and approachable, and very knowledgeable about the animals. We saw so many animals, and the cycling at Hell's Gate was a particular highlight for us. Would definitely recommend for a budget safari which hits all the main parks in Kenya. As a side note, the food is simple but plentiful.

Excellent excellent guide - ok accomodations
4/5

Our guide Johnnie Jackson was super duper excellent!! We saw the big 5 right away and also saw 7 cheetah one day as well as quite a few lions (1 male and 1 female were right next to our vehicle) and even a leopard! He knew right where to find the animals and made each day fun and interesting. He was concerned about everyone in our group and was patient, kind and flexible. The only downside of the safari were a couple of the accommodations. They were definitely budget and we knew that going in, but we're still surprised by the lack of cleanliness, broken tiles, and no hot water.

A very professional with excellent client service operator
5/5

We chose Jocky Tours because of the high ratings on safari booking and references on social media. Our experience exceeded our expectations ! We selected the private 5 days safari Masai Mara-Nakuru-Naivasha. It was the perfect choice as we managed to visit different places , see different landscapes and also observe the big 5 and lots of other animals as well! We also took an optional air balloon ride ( even if it’s pricy it really worths the experience, you see a lot of animals and the landscape and view are stunning) and the boat ride which was also a good option as we saw a lot of hippos. Of course a very successful and memorable safari wouldn’t be possible without an experienced driver. Our driver Jimmy was amazing!! Very professional, very good driver, with good knowledge about nature and an attentive ear. Whatever we wanted to see in a safari, he would find it for us ( lions hunting , migration , leopard, rhinos).Thank you Jimmy and Jocky Tours for this amazing experience!

Wonderful Safari
5/5

We had a wonderful 6-days safari with our guide Kikitu who helped in making it unforgettable with his knowledge of the parks, ability in spotting animals and driving. If planning to go, ask to have him as a guide and you will not be disappointed.
We saw all the big 5 and the migrating wildebeests thanks to his expertise.

Safari was fully customizable and the jocky tour team was available to help for any request. Highly recommended.
