Great communication and service, along with an amazing guide!
We went on a six day ‘budget’ Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. It meant spending quite some hours in the car, but boy was it worth it!
Jocky Tours was quick and clear in replying to all our questions in advance and the pick-up was perfectly on time.
Arriving at Jocky, we could leave our spare luggage at their office and our 4x4 safari jeep was waiting for us along with our driver James. This guy is amazing! He navigates through traffic in a safe yet very quick way, is well informed, creates a great group chemistry and above all is really good company.
The trip was magnificent. At Masai Mara we saw the big 5 in a record breaking time. The highlight was a leopard chasing and catching an impala right in front of us! We were staying at Lenchada where the tent felt like an hotel room as it was spacious and had a private bathroom. The people were nice and food was simple, but good!
At Lake Nakuru you’re able to spot more birds (great amount of flamingos) and rhinos, which makes it well worth the visit. Our place Lanet matfam was more luxurious and included a swimming pool. A luxury that was not really needed as we arrived late and left early in the morning. The buffet had some more options and was good as well.
In Amboseli it was impressive and saddening to see what the drought has caused with many dead animals around. The park had a completely different character than Masai Mara and was great for spotting large groups of elephants from up close. Our highlight was a group of five cheetahs playing around our car! We’ve stayed at Manjaro Camp for two nights in a tent similar to the one in Lenchada but with an even better location! An amazing view of the Kilimanjaro and it felt like staying in the middle of nature. It’s small in scale and the host Henry was extremely friendly.
Overall a lovely experience and would definitely go again!
Tips:
- If you have the budget, go for the jeep option. It spacious and comfy!
- As the schedule is tight, you don’t spend much time in your accommodation. If you’re looking for a bit of luxury, the best place to spend the extra money in would be Amboseli.
- Time between breakfast, lunch and dinner can be quite long. Make sure to bring or buy some snacks during your transit days.

Kikitu was a great guide
Thanks again Kikitu for the great safari. He’s a great guy, very friendly. We really enjoyed the tour, saw a lot of animals as well. The accomondations on the budget tour were really nice. We were dropped at the Mara village which we didn’t really want but was ok.
Kikitu made it special so a big thanks to him.

Johnny Jackson is an exceptional tour guide
High quality service with professionalism and efficiency. Helen always responded
promptly and with warmth. The experience would not have been high quality without Johnny Jackson. When you book your tour, ask for Johnny.
Johnny Jackson was the most professional, accommodating, & punctual tour leader I ever encountered
Jockey tours delivers an outstanding safari experience. From the moment of arrival great care is taken to ensure comfort and quality. The personable demeanor of the operator is exhibited in their attentiveness to the needs of guests. Every detail of the inhabitants is patiently explained throughout the journey. I highly recommended Jocky Tours for a premiere Safari experience!

Perfect Safari experience (Masai Mara + Lake Nakuru + Amboseli)
Moses is the perfect guide for this tour of 3 NPs. Reliability is very high, whole tour went as expected.
Masai Mara is a must, animals come very clone. A lot of rhinos in Nakuru. And finally Kilimandjaro at Amboseli. I recommend this tour a 100%.
Acommodations are good, some in the nature some even with Pool. Food was good. Moses gave us all the Information about the animals (big five + cheetah, Zebras, giraff, and dozens more). And found them all.
Thank you Jocky Tours And thank you Moses!

Everything was perfect. Jimmy our guide was just perfect, he took care of us the entire trip, made sure that we saw all the animals, always made sure that we are fine and happy, listen to our requests, and more than that he was super professional and had a lot of knowledge about the animals.
