Awesome tour guide, incredible memory!
Words can’t describe how amazing this experience was! James was so friendly and he took great care of our group. He shared so much helpful information along the way, and went the extra mile to help us find all the animals we wanted to see! The accommodations exceeded my expectations, too and the food was outstanding. I highly recommend James and Jocky Tours for an incredible experience and memory of a lifetime!

3-day safari in the Masai Mara & one day in the Nakuru Lake with the best company
I want to express gratitude for this memorable days in the Kenya. We saw the big five & big seven during a few hours. We saw the cheetah's breakfast, two leopards, five rhinos and flamingos! Our Camping & hotel were absolutly comfortable.
Our guide was very enthusiastic, friendly & accusative with us. We love this guy! He helped with all questions, and requests. Our guide made those days amazing. Thank you so much.
The company communicated with us during all the time from booking till start of safari and helped with all questions.
We'll recommend the Jocky. Sure!
Thanks!
With best regards, Gleb & Ekaterina.

Amazing safari with really professional guide and management team!
I really highly recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris to your budget safari in Kenya.
I was recommended by one Spanish friend and since the first e-mail to Minneh she demonstrate to be really professional and always answering all e-mail in couple of hours.
She was really patience and clear when explaining me all options of safari and always clear and fast to answer all my doubts (price, what was included, options of parks to visit, how many days).
Since the first e-mails, I was always filling really comfortable and safe to my pick for Jocky tours.
We made a small transfer few weeks before our trip to guarantee our safari, and never had problem with the transfer. Everything went well and Minneh never pressure us to make the transfer.
Me and my girlfriend we had our flight delay for 24 hours to arrive to Kenya and Minneh was always keeping track of us and made last minute changes by our request so we could made the necessary changes for our Safari. We had in the beginning the 7 days safari and because we were arriving one day late to Nairobi and we already had our trip back schedule, Minneh made all the changes request by us without charging anything extra, she also decrease the full day safari cost of the day we lost.
Our driver for the 6 days was Raymond. Really professional driver, really good guide in the Park and always listening to our most crazy request. If we want Lions, Raymond drove us to Lions or whatever we asked him.
He was always polite and really respectful of our space. If we wanted to understand a little about Kenya or other topics he was always willing to talk, but if we were tired and want some silence he really respected that. Really recommend Raymond as a driver and safari guide.
We choose the budget safari, where you sleep on tents and you share the van with more people. If you want to visit Kenya and you are traveling with limited budget this is your choice. The experience to sleep in tents and share the van are not as bad as it looks like. The experience is amazing. The places we stay are normal, but clean and comfortable and of easy access to the safari. We are a young couple but we saw a lot of families and older people with the tent option too. I highly recommend, it’s just more real than a 5 star hotel.
I´m writing this review to highly recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris for your budget safari in Kenya. Before booking with them I tried to find more reviews online but because they are local operators I could find too many. This is why I’m writing to express how satisfied my girlfriend and I were with our pick to safari operator.

Well arranged, and an excellen value for your money
I enjoyed my safari with Jockey Tours and Safaris from the moment I booked it at the office untill the day it was over and they dropped me off at my hotel one week later. The company has an amazing staff and very friendly owner, who will try to accomodat you at all times.
To strat off with the tour was very well arranged: pickup and drop off at your hotel, transport, all meals and water included, good accomodation and a good driver. I booked my tour 3 days in advance, which was no problem at all. When I asked them 2 days later if my friend could join, they made the arrangements right away and even when we were on our last day of the safari and decided to add one more day, to see a different park, they made it possible within minutes. Their service is truely remarkable. We ended up booking a 5 day budget safari to Masaai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate N.P.
The accomodation provided was also lovely. The tented camp at the Masaai Mara had huge tents, with very comfortable double beds and hot water showers. The lodge in Nakuru povided us with a big pool, which was very welcome after all the dust, and excellent food. The Lake Nakuru hotel was smaller, but had a lovely garden and very friendly staff.
The food was always good and there was always plenty. For breakfast we either had an english or continental breakfast. Lunch was either served in the lodge or as a picknick inside the park during full day game drives. They were always different, well spiced and there was always a very good vegetarian option. Dinner was always served at the lodge and also existed of a good and healty veriety of meals.
There were always drinks available such as cold beers and soda's which were not at all expensive.
Our driver knew the parks and the animals very well. He really tried to show us all the wonders off african nature and whenever big game was spotted somewhere he would make shure we were the first once to arrive. So many thanks to our driver who made the trip complete.
All together I canhighly recommend Jockey Tours and Safaris. When booking with them you will most definately get your moneys worth.
FYI
All hotels had hot water showers.

great
Jocky Tours have been great partners for many years now. They know their trade very well, and we communicate very good. We are happy with the knowledge they posess on the savannah. The camp and the food is also very good. The only thing is that some of the drivers drove too fast from Kisumu to the camp. Some of the students didnt feel comfortable with that.
Reply from Jocky Tours and Safaris
Posted on Jan 1, 2015Great to hear your feedback Falk,we are very sorry for the discomfort caused to your group of students by some of our drivers during your recent safari.After following up the matter from our senior driver,we are meant to understand that the fast driving was due to the fact that Kisumu-MasaiMara is quite a long distance hence the need for speed.We however don't condone fast driving,all our company tour vans are now fitted with speed governors.

Amazing Safari Experience in Kenya
We had an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya! The drivers were extremely professional, friendly, and always happy to answer any questions about the animals, nature, and local culture. Their communication and knowledge made the trip even more enjoyable.
The vehicles were always clean, comfortable, and in excellent technical condition. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five and many other amazing animals during the safari. Highly recommend this organizer for a smooth and well-organized adventure!
