Excellent!
We just finished a 5 day safari in Kenya. We did 3 day Masai Mara, 1 day Lake Nakuru and 1 day Naivasha and Hells Gate Park with a group of 7 and had an amazing experience. Joshua from Jocky tours was an amazing guide and driver. Highly recommend this safari tour operator for its quality and price. Very professional and well run agency.

It was excellent, highly recommended
I really appreciate especially guide James, who took care of us 24/7. He is kind, helpful, and a great guide knowing all the tracks at national park, all the best places to observe as many animals as possible!

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.

One in a life time experience
The safari tour was amazing! We booked through E-mail, we wrote with Minneh. She is very sweet, helpful and answers very quickly. They picked us up at our hostel, and we got in the van. Our drivers name was Isaac, he was wonderful! Very funny, helpful and did everything to make the trip unforgettable. The tents in the camp are more than we expected, with our own toilet and shower. The food there is excellent, the staff are sweet and friendly. We had an amazing trip and would love to go again. The only complaint we have is that there is no refrigerator and therefore only warm drinking water...

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.

Friendly, reliable, well organised company that delivered on all it’s promises.
Minneh was very responsive and informative in her communication, which made it very easy to book our four day trip. Daniel collected us from our accommodation on time and was very friendly, courteous and professional. Alex was our tour guide who took us to the Masai Mara - he was very informative, friendly, knowledgeable about the animals and worked really hard to ensure we had a fantastic safari experience. We stayed at Lenchada tented camp, which is very basic but comfortable. Food was good and the area was clean with friendly and helpful staff. The safari exceeded our expectations, we enjoyed two and a half days in the reserve which we recommend.

They were efficient and Iwe had no issues with payment, starting and ending the safari.
I communicated with Minneh of Jocky Tours & Safaris through email and she was very prompt at answering all my questions and concerns. It was very easy to pay the deposit and even the remaining balance before the start of the trip. Evans our driver and guide throughout the entire trip was a fun guy to be around. We learned a lot about the animals and environment that we did not know about. Evans was also very accommodating to our needs and always asked if we were okay. I would highly recommend this tour group for future travellers. When we decided to tour again, we'll definitely be using them again. Cheers to you all for a job well done. Thank you!!
Best safari ever, accomodating, well organised and well priced!
Such a good safari, we saw two kills, 4/5 of the big five! John the guide went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. Accomodation basic but all you need, and the staff are lovely and food is great!
Overall excellent experience!
