Our tour operator Johnny Jackson has been very friendly, knowledgeable and excellent communicator.
The animal sightings will mostly be same with any operator one chooses.
However, we had a great time while on a safari tour of Masaimara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with Jocky Tour and Travels. We stayed at premium locations, especially at AA Lodge, Amboseli. The food has been mostly great. They supplied unlimited bottled water. Above all, the condition of the car was excellent, resulting in a comfortable tour.
We are extremely happy with our experience with Jocky Tour and Travels.

Our Safari of a Lifetime
Jocky has been excellent right from the start of the tour. Communication is extremely clear throughout.
Our guide Joseph made our safari a memory for life and we truly understood why it is called a Gamedrive. He is particularly caring, passionate and superb at what he does - so massive respect to his work ethics. He knows the ins and outs of the Mara and made every effort so that we spot almost all types of animals. Special mentions for catching a view of cheetah, pride of lions, leopard and a rhino. He also helped others during the tour which was great to see. I learnt many life lessons on this Masai Mara Trip with Joseph.
Absolutely appreciate this experience and we will definitely come to Kenya once again and undoubtedly do Safari with Jocky.

We had a really great time with Dixon. He was the best guid i could imagine.
Would definitely recommend to book this Safari. We had great time and saw everything what you have to see. Dixon is an expert in guiding touris around, i would definitely recommend him.
The price of the Safari is more than worth it i would say!

Safari with Jimmy!
We had Jimmy as our tour guide/driver and he was amazing! He was so nice and funny and really made our experience unforgettable. He was very informative and answered all of our questions. By the end of the trip he really seemed like a friend to us. We are grateful for Jimmy and anyone who gets to safari with him would be lucky!

Asante Sana Jimmy!
Our group of 6 had the pleasure of having Jimmy as our safari guide. On top of being an amazing driver through all the challenging roads and terrain, he answered our questions and made the entire 3 day excursion to find all the spectacular animals really fun. Now I know why they call it a game.
The experience would have not been the same if it weren’t for Jimmy. It felt like we were on the tour with a lifelong friend. The only thing I would change is having more time.
The value of the tour was great. Easily the best $350 spent for an unforgettable experience. I will recommend this tour to all my friends and family. Asante Sana Jimmy!

Amazing safari - Jimmy was great!
This one was very affordable, with glamping accommodations and good food. Our guide, Jimmy, was great and was super helpful the whole time. We ran into a few issues along the way while getting money from an ATM and he was like our local friend throughout. He knew where to take us on the safari and was friendly, funny, and a great tour guide. Highly recommend!

Awe inspiring experience with a very knowledgeable guide.
Context:
This was my first safari so I wasn’t sure what to completely expect other than what I read online or heard from friends.
Summary:
It was AMAZING. Highly recommend. I would do it again.
Details:
- Logistics: It was very straightforward to book. Once we showed up, our guide picked us up directly from our Airbnb, took us to the office to pay, and then we were off to the safari. The jeep was spacious and comfortable for 6 on the city roads and the safari roads.
- Guide: Our guide was Jimmy. He was very knowledgeable about anything we asked (ranging from general questions about Kenya to specific questions about what we saw on the safari). He knew exactly where to drive to spot the wildlife. He went above and beyond to make sure our group was comfortable and had everything we needed.
- Safari experience: Truly awe inspiring. So many wonderful animals and beautiful landscapes to appreciate.

Wonderful and helpful
I had a great experience with my group of friends. Jimmy was a great driver and guide. Also, I had an experience where the atm ate my money and Jimmy was very helpful in helping me with the process. I felt very supported throughout! Would highly recommend

Attentive, patient, and knowledgeable to the core.
Jockey was really quick to respond and organize the trip.
Evans, our guide, was extremely kind, polite, punctual, and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions perfectly (and we asked many). We saw all the animals we wanted to see and more. We even got to see a leopard stalking a bird.
The hotels booked were also good, and the people who worked there were absolutely amazing. They were the happiest people I've ever met, and by far the best service we've gotten overall.

Possibly poor computer security
We contacted Jocky Tours for a quote. They responded and we started communicating with them through the email address on their website [email protected]. All communication was to / from this email. We sent payment as requested. When we got to Nairobi, they had no record of the emails or the payment. We suspect their email was hacked and our communications were being directed to a fraudulent third party. We have opened a fraud investigation on our side but caution anyone to be careful doing business with them.
