Amazing Experience- Highly Recommend - Papa was a great guide and an excellent driver! Masai Mara was an amazing experience, from seeing the animals in their natural habitat, to eating a picnic next to hippos, and meeting the Masai tribe, myself and my partner have memories that will last a lifetime. Lake Nakuru has a totally different landscape (with different animals) and was amazing to see. Lake Naivasha has the best collection of birds we have seen. A great trip and I would highly recommend!

A safari that we will never forget ! - We chose Jocky Tours because of the high ratings on safari booking and references on social media. Our experience exceeded our expectations ! We selected the private 5 days safari Masai Mara-Nakuru-Naivasha. It was the perfect choice as we managed to visit different places , see different landscapes and also observe the big 5 and lots of other animals as well! We also took an optional air balloon ride ( even if it’s pricy it really worths the experience, you see a lot of animals and the landscape and view are stunning) and the boat ride which was also a good option as we saw a lot of hippos. Of course a very successful and memorable safari wouldn’t be possible without an experienced driver. Our driver Jimmy was amazing!! Very professional, very good driver, with good knowledge about nature and an attentive ear. Whatever we wanted to see in a safari, he would find it for us ( lions hunting , migration , leopard, rhinos).Thank you Jimmy and Jocky Tours for this amazing experience!

First class experience on our budget tour, felt like premium class with our guide Steve - From the moment we got picked up, we were taken care of by our guide Steve, and the tour was overall an amazing experience. Everything was communicated well throughout our 6 day tour, and we experienced the best of all the parks we visited. Steve was very experienced and knowledgable about the areas we visited and made sure we witnessed amazing views and animals (lucky enough to see 3 cheetahs, and a leopard and all the other big 5 must see’s). Steve really made the trip very enjoyable and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get the best of visiting Kenya!! This was the trip of a lifetime.

Ideal budget safari, that didn’t feel budget. - The safari was wonderfully organised from start to finish. There were no issues at all, the 4x4 was comfortable and the places to stay were ideal. Our tour guide, Steve was highly knowledgeable, had brilliant energy and charisma and ensured we had the best trip possible. I couldn’t recommend this operator and guide enough.

Best safari guide, thank you Dixon!! - Our recent 5-day safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru was unforgettable, thanks to Dixon, our exceptional guide. His deep knowledge, engaging descriptions, and insightful commentary enriched our trip. Dixon's warm personality and genuine care made us feel well taken care of throughout, from spotting a leopard in Lake Nakuru to watching a cheetah up close in Masai Mara. His efforts ensured every detail was smooth and enjoyable, turning our safari into an extraordinary experience. Thank you, Dixon, for making our journey truly special! He’s the best!!!

Exceptional Safari guide David. Unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Jocky Tours. - We had an incredible experience on our safari with Jocky Tours for our honeymoon, thanks in large part to our exceptional guide, David. He was not only amazingly kind and professional but also demonstrated an impressive ability to spot animals quickly and brought us to the parks very early each day so we could optimise our time and opportunity to see all of the animals. He was very punctual every day and great to chat to during the long drives. His keen eye and extensive knowledge of the wildlife made our journey truly unforgettable. He is an excellent driver and we felt completely safe throughout. Throughout the trip, he ensured that we were comfortable and happy, always ready to answer our questions and share fascinating insights about the animals and their habitats. David ensured we had a unique experience which involved a trip to a Masai village which was unforgettable, a boat trip on Lake Navaisha and a cycle and a hike through Hells Gate national park. We got to see the Big 5 and many many more. It wasn’t just the Safari we enjoyed but the whole experience and Jocky Tours are great to deal with and at a very reasonable price. All of the accommodation and food was great. We highly recommend David to anyone looking for an outstanding safari experience!

Nothing short of Phenomenal! - I did my market research before finalizing our travel arrangements and found that Jocky’s, despite their stellar reviews, offered some of the best deals out there. I also realized during the trip that the camp sites, lodging faciities and activities that Jocky’s gave us are the same ones used by other tour operators that quoted us higher rates. Our tour guide, Joseph, is top notch and walked the extra mile to make sure that we complete the Big Five in this safari. He didn’t give up until we found the elusive leopard which completed our quest! We will never forget this wonderful experience. We fell in love with Kenya and its people because of the experience that we had with Joseph and the team of Jocky’s Tours.

Good budget safari to see Kenya - We did the 5 day tour including Maasai Mara, Naivasha and Nakuru, we enjoyed the whole experience. Our guide, Dennis, friendly and approachable, and very knowledgeable about the animals. We saw so many animals, and the cycling at Hell's Gate was a particular highlight for us. Would definitely recommend for a budget safari which hits all the main parks in Kenya. As a side note, the food is simple but plentiful.

Fantastic Safari, average accommodation and food - The safari and our driver (Albert) were fantastic! The acomodation and food (mainly rice, potatoes, spinach and chicken 2x a day) are low standard. As all tour operators stop at the same places I assume it is the same on all safaris. As such I can recommend Jocky Tours! We travelled with two kids (6+8) and they enjoyed it very much!
