Great tour of the mara
We had a pleasant experience with Johnny Jackson, our tour driver / guide. He gave us good information about various animals and their habits. We saw 4 out of the big 5, except rhino. Johnny tried his best to find a leopard who was hidden behind a bush to ensure we got a good picture of it. He drove well on the bumpy roads of the mara and got us very close to 2 majestic male lions which made our day.
Our stay at jambo mara lounge was great as we got a glass cottage which was really cozy and modern. The food could've been better. Also, the itinerary for this tour contained a game drive on 3rd day, but we were not offered one and asked to pay $80 more. The reason given to us was a change in rules for entry recently which was not updated on the website. We ended up skipping it.

Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive guide
The two and a half days we spent with Dickson were unforgettable! My cousin, my brother, and I had a private safari tour during which we saw many animals (lions, leopard, elephants, giraffes, etc.). Having a private tour was the best decision because we could stop anytime, take many photos, and have very personal attention from our guide. He told us stories about every animal we saw, so I feel like I’m leaving not only with new memories but also new knowledge. The camp where we stayed was quite comfortable, with cold and hot water, big beds, generator power to charge phones twice a day, and a cozy bonfire at night where we made friends from different countries. Overall, the communication, the value, and the experience was unmatched! Thank you Dickson for making our holiday so special!

Perfect Kenyan Safari tour!
I can only strongly recommend Jocky Tours for your safari as our group couldn't have made a better choice in selecting a private guided Kenyan Safari.
From early on pre booking communication to pickup at our hotel in Nairobi, throughout the safari itself and up to our dropoff at the airport, every detail had been carefully planned and executed.
Our experienced guide, Dennis, is much more than an upmost skilled driver. Extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the Maasai Mara fauna and flora, Dennis is an exceptionally kind man, going for the best jeep positioning for your perfect snapshots, teaching us Maasai and Swahili key words, always available to help fellow guides in trouble at light speed, always in the best contagious mood.
Thank you Dennis and Jocky Tours for the best vacation memories! Godspeed!

Amazing!
Had an amazing time on the Maasai Mara safari with our tour guide David. He is extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and was able to find plenty of animas at the park. We got to see so many animals up close. Such a great experience for a can’t bet price.

Very friendly and helped us see what we wanted to see.
Overall great experience. Always gave us a run down of what the day would like. They gave us a history lesson on the things we passed on the way to the safari. Over all the best safari hands down

Brilliant!
We loved our safari experience! We booked the 4 days in Masai Mara, private safari and our driver Peter (Kapino) did everything to give us an amazing experience full of the Big 5! Yes we even saw the rhino and of course the leopard (twice). He had great communication with the rest of the drivers and we didn’t miss any of the amazing animals!
Communication with Jocky Tours and Safari was great and Helen was always available to help us with our enquiries.
Finally, Lenchanda Camp has very nice tents and you feel close to the nature! Only the food could be slightly improved.

An unforgettable experience, great value, a reliable team
We had an incredible experience on our 6 day safari with Jockey Tours. The accommodation and meals were fantastic, especially considering we were on the budget package.
Though we had issues when booking via email due to a cyber security issue, Minneh and the team were quick to respond and resolve the issue when we contacted them by phone.
Finally, we come to Jimmy, our awesome tour guide and driver. His Jeep driving abilities, sharp eye for spotting big cats from an impressive distance and knowledge of wildlife were incredible. He went above and beyond to make our Safari unforgettable.
All our thanks to Jockey Tours and Jimmy

Taking the safari with Jocky was the best decision.
The 6day safari with Jocky was really wonderful. They give the most reasonable rates and will book your seat for a bare minimum advance. They send cars to pickup from hotel/airport.
Fir 6 days, our guide cum driver was Johny Jackson, an excellent guy. Superb animal spotting skill. He showed us all of big 5 and also many more animals. He made sure to give the best angles to take photos. He even went off track to give us closer look of a leopard. He understands the movement of lions well and we had the best of the experience.
We stayed in Lachenda camp in MasaiMara, a beautiful place, with the wonderful hosts. Well mantained tents and food options to choose from. The hotel in Nakuru, hill court, was also too good. Last but the most, AA lodge in Amboseli was a 5star one. Ambience and food was awesome.
