Excellent and proffessional from start to end!
Amazing experience for our family with teenagers. Stayed at Enkorok camp for 4 days in nice tents with bathrooms and shower. Zebras walking outside the tent in the morning. Breakfast that suited us all. A very professional guide with lots of experience of Masai Maras animal and wildlife.

Decent safari, could've been better
Communication before the safari was clear and quick, but not everything was up to our standards. For starters, make sure you read the bill carefully. We almost overpaid until we pointed out that our deposit counted towards the total sum. Furthermore, our guide didn't have any binoculars or a cooler for us to cool some drinks in during our safari. The animals stay quite far from the road in Amboseli so binoculars are a must, and we felt our experience suffered because of it. On the plus side, our guide was knowledgeable about the animals and spotted some hard-to-see ones, including a well-camouflaged small owl in the middle of the day.

Excellent! The organisation, accommodation, safari tours were great!
Everything was prompt and on time, from the moment we were collected in Nairobi the service was excellent. The accommodation and food was way beyond what we expected. Our guide Jack was great, the effort he put in to find all the animals was really appreciated. He knew how to get the best angles and lighting for the photos of the animals, plus we saw all the big 5 in the Masi Mara. I really enjoyed when he shared his knowledge around the plants and wildlife. Would definitely recommend!

Best possible safari experience!
My partner and I had a fantastic time on the safari with Johnny, 100% would recommend this experience. We felt taken care of, got a ton of information about all the places and animals we saw and packed a lot of activities in a short period of time. There was no question that Johnny wasn’t able to answer - and we were very curious! Overall the communication and booking with Jockey Tours was very smooth, they were very responsive and gave us all the information we needed beforehand. Very satisfied and would love to return for more trips in Kenya!

Geeman was knowledgable, friendly and very protective of his group. We felt very safe in his care.
We decided to do a 2-day safari with Jockey Tours. After receiving quotes from 3 companies, Jockey had the best cost-to-rating ratio.
Geeman was our guide. He was extremely, knowledgeable, friendly and kind. He also seemed to be very passionate about his profession as a tour guide.
On the tour, he ensured that we saw the big 5 animals of the reserve. Not only did we see the big 5, but we saw so many more. Geeman told us a little about every animal that we encountered. Not only was Geeman supportive and protective of his group, he also went out of his way to help another tour operator whose 4x4 got stuck in the mud.
My only point of criticism about the tour is how extremely bumpy the ride was. Of course, it is not fault of the driver, in fact Geeman was an excellent driver who smartly avoided a 5-hour delay due to an accident. However, the rough terrain should be emphasized when booking, just in case someone has a serious injury or condition (e.g., bad back or pregnancy) and would want to avoid the severely rocky terrain. My friend is still recovering from a pulled muscle in her shoulder.
Despite the rocky ride, if I could do it all over again I would absolutely request Geeman, and so should you.

Great safari tour and good Organisation.
We as a couple are super happy with jocky tours. We booked a 7 day budget safari tour (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli) and our tour was exactly and even better than expected (especially with the animals we had more luck than expected). The car, the general organisation and accommodations were as expected and good for safari. After a little mixup with one of the accommodations, they could manage it very fast to get our booked one. Special thanks to our great driver Evans. Evans was our driver, guide and caretaker for the total week and we felt totally comfortable and safe.
He found all of the animals we wanted to see and even more. He was well connected to mostly all the other drivers and locals.
So we would highly recommend to do the trip with Evans, and many thanks to him (the other drivers should be also very good as other tourists told us). So we are very happy with this great experience and would nothing change if we would do the safari once again!

Unique experience
We choose the budget 6 days safari incl. Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. Masai Mara and Amboseli was really incredible. We will never forget this experience. Due to water level increase not all Roads in NP Nakuru can be used.
Your experiences will highly depend on the Tour guide. We couldnt Image a better guide than Ben. Make sure you will get him as well.
Honestly, for us it makes no sense to book a luxury safari. You will spend most of the time in the NP … and there it makes no difference.

Patient and passionate about his job
Communications always clear. Andrew has always been willing to explain the context and to suit our needs.
The price we payed is worth both the experience and the service provided.
Andrew has always been reliable and precise with the timetable.
Overall, the tour has been a wonderful experience.
