Great safari
5/5

We did a 3-days Safari in Maasai Mara with Jocky Tours. The communication was easy from the beginning. The tour was well organized and our guide James was great.

Ask for Richard, who is an excellent guide!
5/5

Jocky Tours colleagues were responsive, they answered 60-70% of our questions by the next day, which I would say is OK. We had to pay in USD in cash. From the hotel we were picked up by Daniel, who was the kindest person we met in Kenya. The safari car was an hour late at the meeting point, which for us was still OK. We went on a 4 day safari to Masai mara + Lake Nakuru. We choose the budget safari, but with the jeep. I would suggest you pay this little extra, as those mini vans seemed extremely small for all those many people.
As it turned out the jeep is a melting pot of people coming from various tour agencies. In the 4 days we had people from 6 different agencies in the car, some came for the first 3 days, some for the last day only. Therefore it does not really matter which agency you go with, but the tour guide is who matters.
We were so lucky to have Richard. Richard was very knowledgeable, he knew a lot about the animals, he was willing to share and willing to answer all the many questions we had. He was always on time, planned our day perfectly. He cared about animals, he also paid attention that other cars' tourists can also take pictures. What was unique about Richard was that he respected animals, you could feel he loved them. And also he was determined from the beginning on to show us every single animal that you can see at Masai mara. He did not give up until we saw all the big 5 in one day and showed us so many more species. He was always kind, paid attention to our needs, organized our check-ins and take-away lunches. He knew all the shortcuts, new all the people at the resorts, his personality was super reassuring. He was truly professional. always calm, doing everything for our satisfaction! Try to ASK FOR RICHARD when booking, because he was the one why our trip in Kenya was perfect.

The best experience
5/5

This is the second time we have used this company. the first time we applied 11 years ago and we really liked it. We decided that someday we will come again with the children. We wrote to Minnih 11 years later and she responded immediately. like last time, she organized everything perfectly. we were met at the airport, we had a great guide (Francis), thanks to him we were able to see all the big five and make great videos. everything went great - we are planning to visit next time in august and will definitely refer to Minnih

5/5

We visited several National parks. Albert was an excellent driver and also spotter for the animals. He was always correct and looked for the needs of all the tourists. He was punctual and reliable. We had a great time with him and will choose Jocky tours again for the next safari.

Albert was the PERFECT guide on a great tour
5/5

The 7 day Safari was from Nairobi to Masaai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli.
We were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi on time and driven to Masaai Mara where we had the first game driver. Albert was a great driver who knew the NP very good and he spotted animals all the time and was perfectly connected to the other driver. So we saw a lot already the first night. At the Masaai Mara Gate you find either budget or very expensive accommodation. We were in tents - what we knew. The next day full day Safari was great - we saw 4 of the Big 5. The Rhino was found in Nakuru. Albert was again the one kowing all the animals and sporting them. We continued to Nairusha and had a boat Tour (on own expenses, 20$pp). The next day we took a walk to Hells gat and on the walk we were together with Zebras, Giraffs an Buffalos. We continued to Amboseli and had a great time with Albert in the Park. He stopped when ever asked or just when he wanted to show us something. He gave us the time to get the best pictures and made sure we have the best view to the animals.
We wanted to continued to Mombasa so Safari tours organized the ride to Mombasa without the need to stop in Nairobi.
Albert was always kind, professional, friendy with a very aympathic kind of Humor. He drove us safely the 900 km across Party Rocky roads.
