A reliable agency for a professional safari!
We had a great experience with Joky tour. They came and pick us up at home to go early in the morning to the office, pay the safari, and go with our guide Raymond to Masai Mara. We saw all the animals, and Raymond was so performant to find them the first. Sometimes there was a lot of véhicules at animal 's place but we didn' t stay, so it was great. The accommodation in tent near the Mara was basic but correct. The pic nic: so so.... But the buffet good. After 2 days we went to Nakuru lake which is a beautiful place with a lot of trees. More wooden and more quiet. Good to see Rhinoceros, less for the flamingos, they are to far from the path. The accommodation at Nakuru was very good. Then Joky tour arranged a good organization for our personal plans which was to stay on the road, at Naivasha lake. So it was a good time, really good experience with Jocky tour. And thanks to Raymond, he is the best!
We recommend!

It was an excellent service. Smooth transaction since the beginning. All our questions and request were addressed and accommodated. Helen was a big help providing all informations we needed. And ofcourse, our tour guide Solomon, he’s just indeed the best and will surely give you the best memorable safari trip of your life. A big thanks to Solomon who really give us the best view of all the wild animals and providing concrete and reliable information. Will surely come back and will request same tour guide.

World class safari on a world class budget with passionate and experienced guides.
The Trip of a Lifetime!
We couldn’t have been happier with the incredible experience, hospitality and attention to detail that Jocky Tours provided. The comms, response rate and pre trip advice was quick and easy to understand and we went with the 7 day option of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hells Gate and Amboseli NP. We would strongly recommend this option as the variety across all 5 NP is amazing.
From the wildlife smorgasbord that is the Masai (we saw Cheetah, Lion, Leopard, Hyenas to name a few) to the otherworldly shores of Nakuru. To the boat trip on Naivasha and cycling surrounded by Giraffes in Hells Gate. Finally we saw a Cheetah hunt in Amboseli in the shadow of Mt Kilimanjaro. Unbeatable!
But on top of all of the above the thing that really sets Jocky Tours apart is the guides!
Our first guide John, who we had for for the first 5 days was an incredible at locating all the animals at the right time. He went above and beyond to help us see a Leopard in Masai, spending the day back and forth on the radio and doing everything in his power to get us that unforgettable experience (saw at least 30 of the big animals). On top of that he was very insightful and brought our group together, 10 out of 10!
Our second guide Alex, who we had for the last 2 days in Amboseli, was also incredible. His calm and kind demeanour lent a warming feeling to the end of our stay. We learnt so much from him about the animals and their behaviour, adding a personable touch. We’ll never forget his blessing of our engagement as we shared the news that I’d proposed to my partner (who said yes

Dedicated, professional and fun
The tour was generally very well organised and our guide Evans put real effort into finding interesting animals for us to see. So, in total, I loved the trip and the budget accommodations exceeded my expectations.
Still, I would recommend everyone to watch out for what's included in the program and whether you get it. We got 2 game drives in Mara instead of the 3 that were in the program. As I was really tired anyway, I did not mind getting to sleep a bit more though. But there probably is some scam going on with the park tickets as drivers hand them over to each other. So just find a compromise so that everyone's happy.
Also, I was on a 5 day tour and on the last days there was quite a bit of waiting around and also no drinking water provided. So maybe it's better to do 3 days tour if you want to keep active.

Organized
I had Dixton as a driver for the final segment of a 5 day safari (the Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate). He was fantastic! He is clearly organized and good at managing ever-evolving logistics. I felt like I was in good hands for this segement of the safari - he was very friendly, had all the answers to our questions about Kenya, the wildlife, etc. He was always willing to make a quick stop to pick up more water and was a safe driver. Anyone who has Dixton as their driver can be assured they will have a comfortable and fun experience. I would be happy to have Dixton as my driver again.

Experienced
I had Moses as my operator for the first part of a five day safari (Maasai Mara National Park and Lake Nakuru). Moses is outgoing, friendly, knows everything about the animals, but most importantly he is clearly an experienced driver. Even when several safari trucks would be crowded around an animal, he was an expert at navigating the truck to get us a good viewing spot. He was also very patient - if you wanted to stay a moment longer viewing an animal or stop to take a photo of the smallest bird or lizard, he was always willing to wait for us. I felt very safe driving with him despite the bumpy roads in Maasai Mara, and we saw all 5 of the Big Five in Maasai Mara with Moses, so he will probably bring you good luck on your safari!
