Good value for the money
We were looking for a budget safari and chosed Jocky Tours because of the good reviews - and we are very happy about it!
Our 5 day safari tour was amazing, we saw so many animals and really enjoyed the
various activities: evening game drive and full day in Masai Mara, visit to an Masai village, Nakuru national park, boat ride in Lake Naivasha… And most important: we saw the big 5, and it would not have been possible without our guide Alex. He was very dedicated and passionate about the animals, he knew much about them and answered all our questions. He is also a superb driver!
The accommodation and food was also way over what we expected.
We are super happy about our tour and will remember it 4ever - we can really recommend Jocky Tours!
A real African experience, well orchestrated and delivered!
My family had a wonderful 3-day Safari experience in the Masai Mara. The accommodation at the Camp was clean and very comfortable. How amazing to be woken by the sound of wild animals lurking just outside your tent. Meals were good and served timeously.
Viewing the big 5 in one day was incredible and happened due to the enthusiasm of our tour guide, helped by communications with his colleagues providing the same service in other vehicles. Our guide, Jimmy, could not do enough to make our stay memorable! He has a wonderful sense of humour, fantastic driving skills, great knowledge of the Masai Mara and the animals therein; an all-around great guy! He deserves to enjoy every success in his career. We wish him and his family well.
Value for money was good however, the Operator stated that WiFi was available at Lenchada Camp. This was not the case. Overall we would thoroughly recommend using this tour service.

Beautiful places and experienced guide
The communication with Jocky was fluid and they helped with everything we needed before the trip. The description they sent did not include specific timings for game drives and such, but they provided those upon request, which I recommend you ask for as well so you know what you are supposed to get once on the road. Still, the schedule included 2 game drives that we didnt do because of visiting a Masai village instead and having to leave to the train station early on the last day. This is justified, but it was not clear from the provided description, so ask all the questions in advance. The accommodation exceeded our expectations for a budget safari, and it was a good idea to pay the extra fee to get a 4WD, as the paths can be quite rough. Our guide Francis was very experienced and made sure we got the most out of the game drives and arrived on time everywhere. The communication with him was clear and he took good care of us. Overall a good experience!

Very good tour operator
Jocky Tours and Safaris is a choir tour operator, the fast response to emails. Separately, I would like to say some words about our guide. Solomon is a great guide! Well educated and intelligent. He knows exactly what his tourists need and fulfills their desires! We spent three days together on a safari and in the final of the morning games of the third day we remembered that we had not seen hyenas, and also really wanted to see a real hunt of predators. There was only an hour left, Solomon turned on the magic radio set and began to ask his colleagues where the hunt might be now. And after 15 minutes, we observe how a flock of lions eat an antelope, and hungry hyenas run around. And it's all thanks to Solmon! We also note that in all the interesting locations around the animals, Solomon occupied the MOST convenient place for observing the day! Bravo! Thank you for this incredible trip!

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Maasai Mara, expertly guided by Solomon. The game drive through the park far exceeded my expectations.

Great
We had a lovely experience in Masai Mara. Kikitu who was our guide was excellent. He had a lot of knowledge about the animals and where to find them. He was funny and made our experience unforgettable! I stayed at Jambo Mara and the rooms where great! I would recommend Kikitu and Jocky Tours to everyone who is going to Masai Mara for a great experience!
Great company and great guide!!
Everything went great, the transfer, the accommodations and the safari tour itself, Jimmy the guide was an excellent guide!

An amazing tour
I have just returned from the 3 day tour to Masai Mara. It was a wonderful experience that will hold many happy memories. We managed to see all of the African Big Nine as well as a pride of lions chasing down an Eland.
The accommodation at Lenchada tent village was very basic but adequate for my stay.
The driver and guide, Jeff, was brilliant but his choice of music left a lot to be desired!! He worked extremely hard to make sure that we saw as many different animals as possible.

Safaring with Jimmy
We had an awesome tour with Jocky Tours and our brilliant guide, Jimmy. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel, until the moment he dropped us back at our hotel, Jimmy was engaging, knowledgeable, thoughtful, funny, and respectful. He’s an excellent driver, and I always felt safe, even when driving fast through the park, on the chase for a new sighting. It was great value for money, and next time I’m back, I will make sure to have Jimmy as my guide again. 5/5.
