Perfect Amboseli private 3 day tour
We did the Amboseli 3 day private tour and everything exceeded our expectations. Everything was well organized and smooth. Our guide and driver Khalifa was super friendly and did know how to find the animal especially lions very well. He was very knowledgeable and would explain a lot along the way and also find good photo locations . We did stay at Kibo lodge which was very nice with Mountain View’s and good food. Staff was also very friendly there.
Would highly recommend Jocky tours for anyone doing a Safari in Kenya

Extra effort for the best experience
They picked me up in the morning and took full care of creating a great safari experience. The guide Francis told us everything about all the animals and even managed to find a rhino, which are very rare.

Quick answer to requests
Email communication was always quick but quite brief. Pick up at hotel the first day worked as planned. Our driver Dixon was always friendly and willing to answer all our questions about the animals. He knows a lot about Nature in Kenia. We were really lucky to see all of the big 5 on our 6 days Tour.

Living in my best life
I had the most incredible safari experience thanks to our exceptional tour guide Johny. From the moment we set out on our adventure, it was clear that we were in the hands of a true expert.
Johny’s knowledge of the local wildlife and the natural habitats was astounding. He could spot even the most elusive creatures with ease, and his passion for conservation and wildlife preservation was truly inspiring.
Not only was our guide incredibly knowledgeable, but he also had a fantastic ability to share his insights in an engaging and entertaining way. He made the whole experience both educational and fun, ensuring that everyone in our group was captivated by the wonders of the animal kingdom.
Safety was a top priority for him, and he always made us feel secure during our encounters with wildlife. His experience and professionalism was evident in every aspect of the safari.
Moreover, Johny 's warm and welcoming personality added a personal touch to the journey. He was always ready to answer our questions and share stories about his experiences , making us feel like we were exploring this beautiful landscape with a friend.
In summary, our safari experience would not have been the same without our outstanding tour guide. His expertise, passion, and hospitality created a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that I will cherish forever. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you for an unforgettable safari trip!

They provided an unforgettable Kenyan safari experience.
Review of My Kenyan Safari Adventure
From start to finish, my safari experience in Kenya was nothing short of remarkable. The operator was transparent and ensured good communication throughout, which immediately set a positive tone for the adventure ahead.
We set out from Nairobi promptly at 8 am, and even though it was a long 6-hour drive to the Maasai Mara, the anticipation kept my spirits high. Despite heavy rain that afternoon, our first game drive at 16:20 was incredibly rewarding. To my amazement, within just a few hours, we encountered elephants, giraffes, baboons, and zebras in their natural habitats.
Day two was an absolute treat! We embarked on a full day of game driving, and the variety and number of animals we spotted felt surreal. It's one thing to see these majestic creatures on screen and entirely another to witness them up close in the wild.
Our journey on the third day was a reflective drive back to Nairobi, reminiscing about the captivating sights of the previous days.
A significant highlight of this safari was undoubtedly our driver and guide, Alex. Thanks to him and some luck we were able to spot the 'Big Five' – a dream for many safari-goers. Alex didn't just point out the animals; he enriched the experience by sharing fascinating facts and answering myriad questions about each species, making the safari both fun and educational.
Accommodations at the Lenchada Tourist Camp were basic, aligning with its description. While it's not a luxury stay, it perfectly served its purpose by providing a comfortable resting place after exhaustive game drives, keeping the authentic feel of the safari intact.
In summary, this safari was an unforgettable adventure, blending the wild beauty of Kenya with impeccable service and expertise. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic African wildlife experience.

Nice trip
It was a great trip and I saw a lot of animals. Johny's guide showed us a lot of animals and stopped every time he touched them. He also arrived on time every time by car. The service at the hotel was also very good and the food was delicious. Great trip, would recommend to friends.

Excellent experience
The most important thing about Safari is the driver. Our driver is Johny, who is very responsible. He took us to find many good camera positions to take pictures of animals, and all the Big Five saw them. BTW, the sunrise and sunset on the grassland are so beautiful. I really love this land of Africa.

Absolutely incredible experience, made even better by the tour guide David
As a couple who have just finished studying at Uni, money isn’t as dispensable as hoped. When we found Jocky Tours, who are described as a more budget option for safari choices, this was never emphasised in the experience. Each place stayed at, in Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli were very well kept and had very welcoming hosts; we couldn’t have asked for much more from any; experiencing a more Kenyan enviroment through tented camps was a special environment and important way of diving into the culture of the country. A special shout out and recommendation to the Manjaro Tented Camp in Amboseli who were AMAZING - Henry, a member of the camp, will soon become one of your favourite people! But in terms of the actual safari, it was one of the greatest experiences of our lives, as a Kenyan Safari is expected to be. But this experience was made so much better with our tour guide and driver that was with us for the whole 6 days, David. David was as attentive as anyone could have been on the experience, giving facts about each park and animal encountered, but was all very receptive to any requests by us tourists, whether to stop to take as many photos as humanly possible or find a safe place to pull over due to our tiny bladders. Although we had some hiccups in the way, David handled each situation to the best of his ability and helped make sure we made the most of every single second of our experience.
Thankyou so much for an amazing experience, and again, thankyou to David for being as amazing as you were; make sure to enjoy your next life as a male Impala!

Very good experience
During the six-day trip, the driver Johny's service was excellent, beyond my imagination. Very responsible and considerate towards tourists. Johny will choose this hotel again if I have the opportunity.
