Great organisation and amazing guide!
We went to Kenya in a family trip (6 people) and had the most amazing time during our Safari with Jocky Tours & Safaris! We went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli, for 5 days, and every moment was great.
Jimmy was our guide and we would choose him again if we return, he is incredibly nice, always available for any question, patient and has great knowledge on the animals and the wildlife. We got to see lots of animals and even a hunting!
The accommodations were nice, we loved Enkorok (Masai Mara) and AA Lodge (Amboseli). Both had great rooms and good food. Lanet Matfam (Nakuru) was not out favorite since it was a bit noisy and the rooms weren't great.
Just one thing that didn't go well - we had asked for a 4x4 and got the normal van since this request was made via whatsapp and they forgot to arrange it - make sure you email every important matter. Despite that, overall the organisation was incredible, the price for quality is totally worth it and we recommend this company!
Just good and professional
It was a very good deal.
One point..think about the Lodge you want to stay. They differ a lot. I choose Jambo and it was fantastic.
All the things went alongside the declared program.
I think toyota will be better than safari vans.
David ,our driver and guide was cute and kind. Try to find best places.
However, I got a little disappointed with Masai Mara itself, although it is beautiful and lots of animals; but don't expect the Big immigration as ones in documentary films!
After all , it was a good experience
Great experience
The whole Safari planned by Jocky Tours, was an amazing experience. Jocky Tours met the expectations that we had, with the best accommodation, facilities & services. Our driver Albert was excellent! He tried to please us by seeking the animals we asked for and he always had the instinct to find lions & leopards, that are the hardest to find and watch.
Everything was great and we would love to travel again in Kenya and have the Safari experience with Albert as our driver.
One suggestion for future travelers, it would be regarding the Hell Gate, that we went the last day, which wasn’t really worth it. It will be better like to have stay more at the Naivasha Sopa or have a trip in Crescent Island instead.

Safari with jeep
Excellent value for money, in total we did 7 days of tour with this agency and we always had the same driver Jack said Jj.
He was really professional and personable throughout the tour.
We did the tour in the tented camps, of course if you are expecting a luxurious tent ask if you want to pay a slight difference for a different solution or a Lodge.
The food offered is good, but as an Italian I found it very repetitive, Kenyan cuisine is good but if you eat chicken with rice or beef with rice for 7 days, you don't have it anymore.
I highly recommend this agency!

Impeccable service!
We spent 7 days in 4 different parks in Kenya. The tour was customized by Jocky Tours according to our needs directly from Italy.
The vehicle was fabulous and our driver Jack (aka JJ) super professional, nice and accommodating to some of our requests.
Highly recommended for those who want to live a 360 degree wild experience!

Value for money
Had a lovely 4 day private tour with Yasin to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha & Lake Nakuru. As a birdwatcher I was pleased that Yasin knew the birds well and we found many species to add to my list. Jocky Tours was considerably cheaper than competitors without compromise on quality.

Two friends & I went on an 8 day safari with Jocky Tours. The office staff were prompt & efficient with great communication before & after booking the tour. The food and accommodations were high quality at every stop. Our guides were excellent. Very friendly
& highly knowledgeable about the parks & all of the animals. They went out of their way to ensure that we had a great experience. Highly recommended.

Beyond expectations for a budget priced tour!
Chose an 8 day (Maasai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru, Amboselli) budget tour in a 4x4 jeep. First time on safari so wasn't sure what to expect.
Jocky, specifically our guides, Moses and Francis, exceeded all my expectations. Pre-tour communications were informative and responsive. The deposit was easy to do. Pick up from our hotel was on time, and they had us on our way after a quick stop at their office for balance of payment.
The first lodging, a tented camp, was basic but clean and comfortable. The following accommodations got better with each stop and ended in a very nice resort that was well above what I expected. No shortage of food at any time; sufficient variety and all tasty (except the boxed lunches which could use some variety). The itinerary provided enough variety (i.e. different ecosystems) to avoid being repetitive or boring, as well as providing sufficient rest time (i.e. not all 6:30 am starts). It was also completed smoothly, on time, and to plan aside from incidents outside of their control (i.e. traffic congestion, power outages, flooding in park, etc).
The best thing was our guides who were professional but fun and friendly. They clearly communicated each day's plan, knowledgeably and happily answered questions about animals, cultures, history, etc., got us into prime viewing/picture taking positions, smoothly managed transfers of persons joining or leaving the tour, worked hard to overcome unexpected issues (i.e. traffic), and accommodated additional requests where possible (i.e. purchasing SIM card, ATM stops, arranging for PCR test, etc).
In general, a very positive experience, money well spent, and zero hesitation on recommending Jocky Tours!

Very friendly and kind
We did a 2 day safari in Masai Mara which was very fulfilling. The driver, Andreu, was very professional, kind and friendly. Moreover we met new people and made new friends. There was a tiny problem when they picked us up that caused a delay but the Jocky Agency solved and rewarded us. Very good experience! Great guide, and very good resort and food.
