Incredible experience
Safari of a life time. Here for a short few days on business and booked the 3 day / 2 night safari to Masi Mara as a group add on. Absolutely painless process from booking, hotel pick up, safari, meals, accommodations, and back. Nothing less than amazing experience. First night we saw pretty much every animal including the elusive leopard. Sunset was breathtaking. Next day we started left early to get best view of sunrise before seeing more of the park and checked out great viewpoints of rivers and Serengeti. Visited the river crossing point for great migration and had great box lunch near the river. Again sunset. Final day we did a morning tour to finish off the amazing safari. Accommodations for me were the tent camp which was very cool experience. Rustic but very nice. All the meals were great. Our guide Dennis was the best host, always put us in the best position for photos and constantly was finding the wildlife. Very hospitable every step of the way. Would recommend him to anyone. I also got to hear about the other safaris and tours from people on the trip who did more days and other locations. They were also just as pleased as I was. I will come back for more days with the family and will use this Safari service and hopefully Dennis as well.

AMAZING AND EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS
Wow. Where do I start? First of all, the team had been super quick in responding to my questions via emails a week before my arrival in Kenya. I had no idea what the safari experience would be like in Kenya, let alone in Africa (truth be told, I've never been to any) so I took quite some time in doing my research and came across safaribookings.com by chance and through a friend's recommendation. And then I went through several tour companies one by one, sent all my inquiries, before I finally decided on Jocky Tours and Safaris. I absolutely made the perfect choice. Our tour David had been the best guide one could ever ask for and I love every person in our group, including other travellers. We bonded so quickly like friends for years. And the best part of all? We got to see all the big 5 animals, and in addition to that, other unique animals too such as the hyenas, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, lilac birds, and so many more! It was the best 3-days experience ever. I am also super happy with my accommodation as the bed was comfortable, the bathroom came complete with a hot shower and I got to sleep through the night with the lovely sound of nature. The cultural visit to the Masai village was quite an interesting experience too, and I love the souvenirs I bought. The food was also good, so yes, I have nothing to complain about. These guys totally deserve all the 5 stars :)

Dickson was absolutely amazing. He was kind, knowledgable of the park, and fun to ride with!
My boyfriend and I did a 3d/2n private Masai Mara Safari tour. We threw together this trip last minute and received helpful and quick responses to our emails ([email protected]). Our tour guide was Dickson, and we can’t stop talking about him, he was amazing!! He was always very kind, helpful, knowledgeable of the park (and where to go to see specific animals)! We really enjoyed our conversations and time spent with Dickson…you’d be lucky to have him as your guide :)
The 4.5-5 hour drive over to the Mara wasn’t bad as we stopped at shops and the scenery in Kenya is immaculate. Once we arrived we went on a 2.5 hr game drive where we saw zebras, giraffes, buffalo, lions, and even a cheetah! The following day we were on a drive from 6:45am-4pm. This day was absolutely amazing. We saw every animal possible besides a rhino, two lion kills, and a bunch of elephants. Even with the rainfall in the afternoon we were able to see a bunch of stuff! Overall, we are extremely happy with our decision on Jocky Safaris…when you book ask for Dickson :)

great company for last minute trip - solo travelers
Jockey customized my tour for me on a days' notice. I stayed at Jambo Mara Lodge and LOVED IT! Jimmy, our driver was awesome and made sure we saw all the animals you can expect to see in Kenya (Rhinos, Hippos, Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Giraffes, crocs, etc). The guides communicate a lot in the radio. Once one of them finds a certain animal (lions, leopards, hyenas, etc) they are able to tell each other where to go, so everyone gets to see it. This makes it a bit crowded around the felines (lots of cars circling them - a bit disappointing to me). I also went to Masai Mara on low season (rainy days) and various groups were driving little mini-vans and getting stuck on mud. We never got stuck and also ended up helping others to be "un-stuck". The camaraderie between the guides was cool. Lake Nakuru was nicer to me. The radio was kept off and we just drove around finding the animal on our own. Jimmy was really good at spotting them, even from far. It was much nicer, quiet and enjoyable being pretty much the only ones around some of those magnificent creatures.

It not just professional, but also helpful and efficient support for my whole trip in Kenya.
I'm in a 5-guy safari, and we had a good time. I havon a 5-guy safari, and we had a good time, so much fun! I have to say, my driver, Kikitu is brilliant. Such a lovely guy, also totally a celebrity in the Masai village. He gots tons of knowledge of animals, culture and bad jokes (lol). I'm so lucky to have him as my very first-time safari guide. I will definitely choose him again in my future safari if it's possible.

Discovering the Mara with Jimmy
Jimmy was a great driver and guide! We booked a private safari on a 4x4 Jeep which was the best call. We could tailor our experience to our needs and even on the most difficult terrain we were flying over any obstacles. Jimmy made sure all our needs were met and looked after us during our three day tour which is more then enough for most adventurous travelers.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure with the Best Guide - Jimmy!
I have spent the last day’s on an unforgettable safari adventure to Masai Mara. From start to finish, our experience was absolutely amazing, and it was all due to Jimmy's exceptional skills, knowledge, and genuine passion for the wildlife. Throughout the trip, he shared fascinating insights about the animals, their behaviors, and the unique ecosystem of the Masai Mara. His knowledge and experience were truly impressive, and we learned so much during our time with him.
It felt like we were on a magical wildlife treasure hunt, as we were able to see many various species and Jimmy was always quick on any leads to come close to the Big Fives!
