Solid safari, knowledgable guides, good experience
I had a good 4-day safari with Jocky Tours that I booked last minute. Our knowledgeable guides Joshua and Alfred were friendly, reliable and very good at spotting and explaining the wildlife in beautiful Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru NPs. I was impressed by how much wildlife you can see within such a short time. Joshua motivated me to do the scheduled game drive on the morning of the third day, even though all other group members had opted to do something else. I was somewhat irritated, however, that I paid 700 USD whereas another group paid only 400 USD per person. I had much better accommodation during the first two nights and a better vehicle, but both still cannot explain the huge price difference. Also, I hope that the driver guides will switch off their engines in the future instead of idling them during breaks – climate change is a concern especially also for their business. I couldn’t find any evidence that this damages the spark plugs, even for safari vehicles.

Good safari and better guide
The safari and accommodation was very nice. Food was the same every day.
We were very lucky with our guide. James is very passionate about nature. He will make an effort to give you the best experience.

Good value for money
I had a very good experience. The camp was nice food was good. I liked the guide James, he made a lot off efforts so we could see all the animals. Also to go to nakuru, which was great. I would recommend the tour to very one.

Good organized all-inclusive safari to the Maasai Mara!
We had contact by email and phone. Both worked quickly and were informative. We booked a budget private tour and were glad with our choice! The whole Toyota Land cruiser for ourselves was pretty nice and worth the additional money.
Jack was a great driver and good tour guide. Especially inside the park; he knew the animals, gave informative facts & background and he tried his upmost best to find the wildlife! We felt save on the slippery tracks and comfortable at times to look at the animals and taking pictures.
Due to COVID-19; Jack was wearing his mask correctly and consequently at all times and there were a lot of places where you could wash your hands.
The accomodation was fine, don't expect too much however, it's sober. Bed and bathroom were clean. Kitchen and security staff at Lenchata camp were friendly and supportive. The programm was in line with the proposed itinerary and lived for sure up to our expectations.

Contacted by email and phone. Communication went smothly w/o many misunderstandings.
Everything went well. I spend 4 days in Massai Mara -lake Nakuru tour. Designated driver&tourist guide, Joshua has been proven himself as expirienced, always eager to help and calm person. Tour was very intensive but worthed.

Good communication, fair price, wonderful tour guide (Evans was the best!)
We had a great time with Jocky Tours - from the start, the communication was great and it was clearly outlined what would happen in terms of our pick up arrangement, what was included and excluded in the package. Our guide, Evans, ensured everyone’s needs were met. He was a great guide, friendly and approachable. The accommodation was comfortable and food was good. Some confusion around water which was included in our package, we had to buy water at stages as the water being provided was limited. In our group of seven, all of us had actually booked with different agencies, at slightly different prices though this didn’t impact upon us in any way - it made sense to fill up a car with people who booked a group tour instead of having multiple cars going to the same place. We would recommend this tour agency to others, they seemed more professional than other agencies that booked customers in our group.
Excelente safari a buen precio! Awesome safari on budget!
Awesome safari on budget!
We did the 4 days budget safari of Maasai Mara and Nakuru Lake in a joining group with 4 more people (6 in total).
Contact with Jocky Tours was easy, good, quick response and directly. The price was also very convenient.
We confirm our safari just 2 days in advance and they contact directly us by phone.
They allow us to pay directly in cash the same day of departure; also we could pay in € and they gave us a good exchange from USA $, so we were happy.
The assigned guide was Kikitu, he is local, and speaks English and Swahili and some Spanish that he was improving with us!!
Kikitu go along with us all the trip, from the pick up at our b&b in Nairobi till the last day; so he was our driver also all the time.
He has a good knowledge about the country, the National parks and the animals.
Kikitu got to find quickly 4 of the big 5 at Maasai-Mara N.P. (Lions, Buffalos, Elephants and the hidden Leopard, very difficult to see) and we got the last one at Nakuru Lake N.P. (the white Rhino). We could saw the black Rhino, but we knew that its very difficult to find it, and Kikitu did his best for found it, so no complaints at all.
The van for safari is a Toyota, normal one, without any luxuries but good for this kind of adventure.
Kikitu was attentive all the time we had bottles of drinking water available all the time.
The Lemchada Tended Camp was even better that we expected and the meals were simple but correct.
The restaurants on the road was more simple, and in one the food was a little bad and limited; so the last day of safari, when we are coming back to Nairobi, as we both were the only people in the van, Kikitu offer us to stop for lunch in a different place, a local restaurant in Naisvhara were we eat some local food, better than the assigned restaurant and we had a good time with Kikitu.
He is the best one!!
Asante Sana.

I had an excellent out going tour guide (Kikitu) he made the experience fun and really interesting.
