Great experience for a good price
I booked my 5 days safari tour including Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate just 2 days before the start. I requested the tour via safaribookings, got an offer really quickly, confirmed it and was ready to go.
The tour started from Nairobi with our excellent driver Kikitu , we went to the Masai Mara and saw a cheetah and lions already on our afternoon drive. The next day we spent from early morning till late afternoon in the park, went to the mara river and saw all possible animals except the rhino. The highlight were 9 lions eating a zebra. The next day we visited a masai village, which is optional and a bit too much touri show, but also interesting.
Then we started the way back and I switched the car in the middle of the way, because I had 2 days more and headed to Nakuru, while the others went back to Nairobi. The next day I did with a new small group the game drive in Lake Nakuru Nationalpark and finallly saw the Rhinos. Big 5 complete. I highly recommed to add Lake Nakuru because the chance to see Rhinos is high, while it is very low in Masai Mara.
After that also the people of the new group went back, while I came to a hotel in Naivasha.
On the last day it was only me, so I got a private tour to Hell's Gate, took a selfie with a zebra, because you can go out of the car in that park and we went through a beautiful canyon till the end to the devil's bedroom. After Hell's Gate it was also time for me to go back to Nairobi, which we reached in the afternoon.
I was very happy with the tour, the drivers and guided were all very nice and spoke good english, accomodation was okay for the price and safari experience was absolutly amazing. So if you look for a budget tour with a great safari experience, just book with Jocky Tours and Safaris.

Great experience and the tour! You'll get your money's worth
We did a 5 day tour with Jocky Tours and it was an exceptional experience. There are so many tour companies out there with different programs and prices, but after all, it all comes down to whether you'll have the good guides and Jocky Tours had just that. Our guide was Evans and he knows his stuff and he is professional, friendly, and fun!
I highly recommend Jocky Tours!

Impressive tour
I had an excellent out going tour guide (Kikitu) he made the experience fun and really interesting.
Some of the hotels used could be better upgraded. Asides that, the sights were really good and eye opening , I am glad I went on the tour

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!

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!!

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.

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.
