Friendly and wonderful safari experience
We booked a 2 night Masai Mara safari experience from Nairobi staying in Lenchada. We had 2 part day drives and 1 full day, and we saw amazing wildlife. Jonny was a super friendly and expert guide, who made sure we saw everything from lion cubs and leopard to vultures and kingfishers. The lodge was a fun place to stay with communal meals and a cold beer at the end of the day. Would happily recommend the whole experience with Jocky Safaris, as they also helped us with a half day driver when we arrived so we could visit Karura Forest (birdwatching safari with Friends of KF). Vincent was very patient and helpful - even helping us to a camera shop as we had lost an essential part en route!

Emphatic, kind, high expertise
I went to Masai Mara on a group joining safari with David. He was very emphatic, kind and humble. He was caring about our group as if we were close friends. Also, through his very high expertise, we were lucky to see many animals and amazing views there. I would recommend to everyone to go with them.

Best overall experience
A really enjoyable experience! Communication with Jocky Tours was very easy, they were quick to reply to emails and well coordinated as a team. They were also great at accommodating a last minute change.
Our driver Joseph was amazing, a lovely person, an experienced driver, and great at spotting the animals at Masai Mara. When you book, opt for the Land Rover option, it was a lot of fun!
We stayed at Lenchada camp and the experience was exactly as described, with good food and friendly staff.
Totally recommended overall!

An excellent driver and experienced safari guide.
My safari tour through Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Naivasha Lake was an unforgettable experience, thanks to Jimmy. His friendly attitude, extensive knowledge, and exceptional tracking skills made every moment extraordinary. Jimmy strived to show us the amazing wild life of masai mara in a 3 consecutive game drived he ensured we had a remarkable adventure.

Amazing safaris and stays organized by Jocky Tours and very well executed by our guide Jimmy
We did a 2 nights Masai Mara and 1 night Lake Nakuru including daytrip to Lake Naivasha and Crescent Island. Had a great experience. Could see almost every possible animal including the Big Five, heyna, flamingos and rarest leopard too. Our driver-cum-guide, Jimmy was a young, enthusiastic guy with great knowledge about the jungle, and interacted with us very well over 4 days. He would try his best to look for sighting of every possible animals. He made great efforts to ensure we could sight the rare leopard from very close which many other groups doing safari on that day had missed.
Everything from hotel pick up till airport drop was very smooth and well organized. We got Naivasha and Crescent Island included in the package at the last moment in the last day, which they very easily accommodated and ensured we had a great time without compromising with other trips...
Best part about him and Jocky Tours was that they could customise the trips as per our wish even on the last minute request.
And thanks to Jocky Tours Safari for organizing the entire trip so nicely. Had spoken to many other travel agents for they trip, but chosen Jocky Tours and Safari due to their easily customisable package at the lowest price without compromising with the service. From vehicle to accommodation and food, everything was very well organised.
My heartiest thanks to Jimmy and Jocky Tours, and wish to do more safaris with them in future.

Friendly, fiendishly fun and fast!
If I have to boil down the most amazing week on safari into a few words I would have to start with the most important - KIKITU! If you're looking for a tour guide - you want Kikitu, and if you want Kikitu, you also want to go with Jocky Tours. He's hugely entertaining and seems to know everyone you need to know in the parks to find the best photo opportunities (or even moments of silence to soak up the breathtaking environment). We found Kikitu's lectures on each animal very engaging and fascinating. He will be dearly missed by our small safari crew of 4!
Aside from this we were very impressed with the Jocky Tours experience more widely. It is extremely reasonably priced (perhaps the best we could find), with all the full board accomodation you'd expect (delicious buffet food and comfortable safari 'glamping'). Communications via whatsapp before the trip were clear and transparent.
We saw everything - the big 5, across Maasi Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboselli (even catching plenty of pictures of the marvellous Kilimanjaro) no doubt due to Kikitu's standing as the King of the Maasai Mara (;))
We left our tour totally satisfied we'd done the safari just right! Without burning a hole in our pockets. Choose Jocky Tours!

Amazing experience all round!
I booked the 4-day camping safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. This was my first safari experience and it definitely lived up to my expectations! Jimmy, our guide, was exceptional right from the start, always friendly and smiling and we felt very safe with him there to guide us throughout the whole trip. He often went the extra mile for us to be able to do everything we wanted and see as many different animals as possible, including a very rare leopard which was a wonderful moment! His exceptional knowledge of the Masai Mara was clear to see and huge thanks to him for giving us an incredible experience. The tour overall was very well-organised and there was plenty of time to see wildlife, the vehicle was well-equipped with everything we needed and the guide was fantastic! Would definitely recommend!

Kenya's best and award-winning tour guide; James. We had an excellent experience thanks to him.
Everything was great. James is a very good tour guide. We saw everything there was to see. We even saw the black rhino, which had not been seen for 5 years. James never turned down our requests. Everything was as we wanted and it was perfect.
