Incredible safari experience
We have booked a 6-days budget safari with Jocky Tours and everything was beyond our expectations. Absolutely great value for the budget price.
We have spent the first two nights at the Sankale Mara Camp outside of Maasai Mara. The tent was spacious for two, we had our own bathroom with hot water and also a mosquito net around each bed. Food was fine as well. We have spent the third night in a nice hotel in Nakuru town, which had a pool and even a rooftop bar. The last two nights we were accomodated in the Manjaro Tented Camp very close to the Kimana Gate of the Amboseli National Park, which was excellent. We have received an entire modern house to stay, Henry and his entire team was so welcoming and took a really good care of us. I will never forget those delicious fresh mangos!
Our jeep was a 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser with 9 seats and pop-up roof, very comfortable for the safari and even for the big distances (in 6 days we drove cca. 1000 km-s). Bottled water was provided during the entire trip.
We were lucky to have two driver guides during our safari, both Kikitu and James were just amazing. Main features: well organisation, punctuality, safety, knowlegde and of course fun. They both know a lot about the african animals and were always ready to answer all our questions. Most of the time we could drive very close to the animals and could admire their beauty and make fantastic shots. For the final two days we remained just the two of us in the jeep and enjoyed a private safari - we just felt so lucky. To be able to watch the sunrise at Mount Kilimanjaro was awesome. We are just so grateful to Kikitu and James, who made our stay in Kenya unforgettable. Asante sana, guys!
The only negative thing to mention is the fact, that the jeep was not fueled before the trip, so we have spent a half an hour at the petrol station, as oil and the air at the tires had to be fixed as well. There is always space for improvement :-)

Well-organized safari with a skilled guide, offering good value and a flexible approach
We had a very good safari experience with Johnny Jackson as our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating, and his insights into the animals' movements helped us get some excellent sightings. Johnny was also flexible with the itinerary, taking into account our preferences, which was much appreciated.
The vehicle was comfortable and well-suited to off-road sections. Accommodation was simple but comfortable, and the food was decent, though it could have used more variety, as we had similar meals each day (mostly rice, lentils, and meat).
At first, the price seemed high, but after the tour, I felt it was good value for money given the quality of the experience and Johnny’s skill as a guide. Overall, a well-organized tour with a capable guide. Recommended.

11/10 safari experience
The safari exceeded all my expectations, especially since it was a budget safari. The food was good, the rooms were clean and our guide was excellent.
We saw so many animals and our guide Leroy did his best to make sure we had a good time. He was very careful not to disturb any of the animals and gave them plenty of space, but on the other hand he made sure we had the best view of the animals. He knows the parks very well - he knew every little road, he never got lost once. His knowledge about animals was vast and he was able to answer all our questions. We could have paid twice what we did and probably wouldn't have seen as much as we did if Leroy hadn't been with us.
The safari is joined, so you can have an annoying group with you in the jeep, but you can't control which group you get. We were very lucky because our group was amazing. The guys in the back of the jeep were singing Hakuna Matata and added the perfect vibe to the experience.

proven good agency, it's not worth the risk to find a better or cheaper one
the agency is responsive, listens to wishes and gives honest advice. In my opinion, the most important thing is the driver or the guide. We had Leroy. He really went out of his way to make sure we had a great time and saw more wildlife than I would have ever expected. Thank you Leroy

The whole trip is fantastic
This October, we 2 families embarked on a journey with Jocky Tours and Safaris that exceeded all our expectations. Our guide Rodger was incredibly knowledgeable about the Animals. He Drive very carefully the whole trip. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the close encounter with a pride of lions, Cheetahs and Rhinos an experience I'll cherish forever. The accommodations were comfortable and the meals were delicious, adding to the overall enjoyment of the trip. I would highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic and thrilling safari experience.
