Very experienced provider, perfectly organized and individual tours are possible
We did the 5 days medium ranged price private tour with a 4x4 Jeep through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha.
We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi and were brought to the office in the center, where we payed the remaining amount. There we met Joseph, our tour guide and driver. He was a very friendly and experienced guide and he brought us to the best spotting places in the Masai Mara. Also his driving skills are mentionable and often we were among the first cars at a game spotting. His knowledge about the animals was great and he answered every question we had.
The lodge in Masai Mara (Jambo Mara) was not the best. In the two days we had problems with our toilet and the electricity in our cabin. Lake Nakuru lodge and Sopa lodge at Lake Naivasha were really beautiful and we enjoyed our stay there. The staff in every lodge was very friendly to us.
I would only recommend to strictly avoid the boat trip on Lake Naivasha and the visit to Hells Gate National Park. Both costs 20 Dollars per person, without tip for the obligate guide, and it is the money not worth. These are typical tourist traps!
I would definitely recommend Jocky Tours as a tour operator. The private tour in a 4x4 jeep was totally worth the money and I would do it again, but beware of the typcial traps like optional boat rides and park visits.

Wonderful
We had a wonderful 7 days safari organised by Jocky tours. Our driver and guide John was super. Very kind, helpful, and professional. The week was very well organised. We are super happy to have chosen Jocky Tours. Very good value for the price we paid. We visited Masai Mara, Amboseli, Naiwashi, lake Nakuru, Hells Gate. And we saw the big five and many more animals

Excellent safari trip in Kenya
My trip to Kenya with Francis was fantastic. Kenya is a stunning country, offering diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes of grasslands, lakes, and forests. And Francis was not only a knowledgeable guide but also a skilled driver, and sometimes, he showed his racing skills too! His expertise in wildlife was impressive; he always knew the best spots for animal sightings. Everything was perfect in Kenya.

This was a great tour!!
Raheem was a super chill guide and worked really hard to find all the animals while still having a good time all the while. This tour was a really good deal for the cost and we had a great time! The permanent tents were full size with real beds (not just sleeping bags in a camping tent) which was a nice surprise too

went on a 3 day tour to Masai Mara with Sir Charles Sharuq. I was able to extend my tour to include Lake Nakuru and Lake Nirvasa. it was such a great time. he was very informative and helpful. we were able to see every animal we wanted. he also takes great photos. the safari tour was great. we had some minor hiccups, but they were resolved quickly and everyone still had a good time. great value for the price! would recommend to anyone in nairobi wanting to join a safari.

Amazing experience
It was every good organized, from the pick up from the hotel, then to the office, and later to the Safari. It was a very good price. The hotels were very good.
The safari was an amazing experience, specially with our guide, David. We have learn too much with him, about the animals, the culture of the country, and the life in Kenia. We could see the Big five and a lot of animals more, thanks to David. He knew where were the animals all the time, and where the animals are usually.
I recomend it 100%.

Life Experience
Spending 6 days between Maasai Mara, lakes Nakuru and Naivasha, and Amboseli was a real life experience.
With Jocky Tour and Charles we got along really well. Excellent value for money.
Too bad only for the two nights at Lenchada Camp, which is probably the worst place I've ever stayed in my life. However, the responsibility cannot be given to Jocky Tour, who booked us an even nicer hotel than the one expected for the night in Nakuru.
Charles was very careful to make us see everything possible at its best.

Smooth safari experience
Me and my three colleagues booked a two-day safari in Masai Mara with Jocky Tours and we definitely had a great value for money. Our driver and guide, Djimmy, ensured that we have a carefree experience: we always left and arrived on time, he shared his knowledge about animals with us, made sure we had everything that we needed. I can only recommend.

Great experience!
Jimmy was very knowledgeable about Masai Mara and the animals. He went above and beyond so that we had a nice experience in the park and see all the animals possible. Would recommend!

Great quality and good option for your first safari
Our driver John was a professional who really knows the national parks, especially Masai Mara. He know a lot about the animals and he is able to quickly spot them. We saw a lot of animals, we spend really nice 5 days with him. The overall organization was good. Accomodations were also okay, better then we expected for budget safari.
