This trip was amazing, we saw a lot of animals very closely, including the Big 5. Our driver Evans always did his best to find good spots and give us information. Evening and meal organisation was also well manages, closed water bottle are always available in the car. Despite we did our safari during low season the weather was perfect. Jocky tour is a very good choice for quality and budget safari.

Thank you for a wonderful tour of Kenya's parks. Now in my head there is a completely different country, nature and people than I knew from movies and books. It was very beautiful, comfortable and very unusual. The tour is very eventful and not monotonous: savannah, lake, forest, waterfalls, rivers and of course the animals we dreamed of. Thanks to our wonderful guide Richard, who showed us so many animals, told us about Kenya, helped in all situations, even in extreme conditions, he remained calm and allowed us not to worry. Thank you, Richard!

This tour was great! Our guide Dennis was lovely, efficient, and experienced. We saw loads of animals, including very close up lions and a black rhino. I think the tour is great value for money and didn't feel particularly 'budget'. The Hell's Gate was a really fun adventure and great opportunity to get some exercise in. The only downside to the tour was it involves a few long car journeys, but I think this is unavoidable and it helps keep costs down.

We're 3 girls traveling together and we booked the 5-Day safari trip. The most important part first: What makes our trip AMAZING was our tour guide + driver, STEVE. He's so very kind, passionate, funny and knowledgeable. He has a warm and postive energy with him that doest not feel overwhelming. You can tell he loves his job and it's truly a people person. Although our schedules were full, and he could be tired as well, but he still always made sure we had the best time, and everyone was feeling good and made us laugh, always. He took care of everyone on the tour and gave us the most spectacular safari one can ask for with the best photos and the most fun. I know it depends on luck a lot with the tour guide one can get, and I have to say we felt extremely blessed and lucky to have gotten Steve, especially for a week-long trip where one has to be with the guide the whole time. Such a good vibe, a great soul to be with on such an amazing ride with. Will definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to do a safari. Thank you so much, Steve! ❤️‍🔥 For the overall safari, we paid 590 USD per person and 20 USD on top for the Maasai Village. 3 meals a day, accommodations, tour guide/driver, and entrance fees for all reserve and parks were all included already except tips and other additional events done. It's a good value for money for a once in a life time experience for us. For accommodation, we stayed 2 nights at The Lanchada camp at Maasai Mara and it was very minimal since it's just a camp - limited light supply, power outlet only in the dining hall, no wifi and showering with extremely low water pressure - for peoppe who'd like a more comfortable experience, this camp is NOT it but it provides the basics things needed so that's good. We then stayed at Hillcourt resort & Spa for a night and it's our best stay in the 5 days. The service, food, room, spa and overall environment were amazing after a long day to recharge. Our last stay was with Chambai Safari Hotel at Naivasha. It's a mediocre hotel and that's it, not much to say about it. We visited Maasai Mara National Reserve, Nakuru National Park, Naivasha Lake and Hell's Gate National Park. We saw the most animal at Maasai Mara and got to visit the Maasai Village there, so for people we only had a short period of time, maybe doing 2-3 day there will be enough already. But we saw other different animals like rhinos at Nakuru and saw Hippos up close during our boat ride at the Naivasha Lake and got to ride bikes and rock climb next to wild animals at the Hell's Gate, so they were all very unique experience as well. I thoroughly enjoyed our 5-Day trip and thanks a lot again for THE boiiii Steve!

We chose the 5 day Safari to fully enjoy all Kenya has to offer. We were fortunate to see 4 out of the Big 5 and we also got to see the Ugly 5 😉 iykyk. We also visited the Maasai village where we met Dan the son of the chief and communed with them for about 1-2 hours Our guide , Steve was very well versed in the history of the Maasai people and was able to answer all our questions about the animals. What’s more, he also gave us tips for Kenya and our further stay in Nairobi. Steve took really good care of us and was there every step of the way. If you ever need a Safari guide , I fully recommend Steve and would give 10 stars 🌟 if possible

The organisation was very smooth and our contact person was reliable and we felt like we had enough information going into it. The accommodation was better than we expected and the food was always good. Our safari guide was Steve, he was incredible! He was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw as many animals as possible. His friendly demeanour and humour made the journey even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Although it was the rainy season, the scenery was still amazing. Coupled with the professional introduction and hunting of animals by the tour guides David and James, we still saw a lot of animals. This trip was worth it.

We had a great time. The food and safaris were awesome. The camps were basic, but all of them had really nice staff. Our safari guide, Jimmy, was world-class. His knowledge of the animals/birds was incredible and his driving skills were even better. You could see he is truly one of the most respected leaders amongst the guides and parks. Thank you for a great experience!!

It was our first Safari experience and I can recommend Jocky. They were always on time and everything was organized well. We have seen almost all possible animals, the tour was safe and our driver Jimmy had a great knowledge about the park and animals. Moreover I’d like to mention that one of us got really sick when we were traveling and we had to look for a hospital. Jimmy not only helped us finding the hospital but also waited for us when we were there. I would like to express our gratitude to Jimmy for all the help and an amazing trip.

Have to thank our tour guide Francis the Bushman, who had it all together. Very good driver, knows his way around and if there is animal action noticed somewhere, he took us there to see it all. That was a great experience to encounter Kenyan wildlife! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I'll first start by saying that our guide, Jimmy was absolutely excellent throughout the whole trip and went above and beyond to make everything memorable for us! Initially upon booking, email responses were fast but a bit short. Sometimes I'd send an email with a few important questions and only receive answers for one. We were told we could either pay the $2600 dollar fee by cash in USD (not really comfortable carrying that much cash with me), pay by card and incur a 3.5% fee for "processing", or make a bank transfer and pay an extra $20 to cover bank charges. I chose the latter. Upon arriving in the office, we were told that wasn't an option and repeatedly had a card terminal thrust at us. He said the 3.5% covered bank charges but he could make it 3%, then 2%... (Dodgy). Finally he dropped the fee and we paid the $2600 by card with no fee - I'm still not certain whether this fee is genuine. We were asked to take 3 guests with us on the 6hr drive to Masai mara. We agreed but feel like many others would prefer not to - having paid a lot more for a private tour - it is difficult to say no when put on the spot like that. The tour itself was great - Masai mara was excellent and saw so many animals close up thanks to our guide Jimmy. He was one of the highlights of our trip - kind, knowledgeable and skilled at driving off-road. Where many others got stuck, Jimmy didn't. Lenchada tented camp was great - basic but that is what we bought. Hot showers and nice beds. Good food with vegetarian options. Nakura accommodation was great. Good food and pool. Next morning was Nakura lake game drive which was a highlight - black rhinos and lions and much more. Naivasha lake was also cool with a boat ride to see hippos and other animals on the shore. Hells gate national park was excellent where we rented bikes and cycled among zebras and gazelles to the canyon. Factor in an extra $20 per person for bike rental and a guide for this. The long drive to amboseli was next but unfortunately Jocky tours had neglected to book our guide a room leading to him having to find accommodation some distance away from us. This meant the next days pre-morning game drive was delayed till nearly 10am and by then Kilimanjaro was covered in cloud. A bit annoying but I must stress this was not the fault of our guide. Overall a great trip and amazing memories made, could have been a bit better on the organisation side by Jocky.

The tour was overall really well organized, with a good balance between the time spent in the different parks and some resting time as well. The guide is passionated and was eager to share all his knowledge with us. A huge thanks to David who made our journey incredible. Despite the « budget » accommodation package, the places where we stayed were very clean and welcoming.

Overall experience was amazing, we had an amazing Operator Jeff and his 4x4 named «Spy girl » drove us really easily through the Safari. Jeff was the best operator one could wish for! Expert with animals and the roads, funny & patient! We got in advance all Infos about the tour and there are possibilities to upgrade Hotels. We had the Chance to do different Safaris, in 4x4 (Masai Mara & Nakuru), Boat (Naivasha) and bicycle (Hell’s Gate). Nakuru was for me a bit less impressive than the rest. We felt really safe during the whole tour - just make sure not to go out alone in the Masai at 12am as you might hear Hyenas really close by ;-). Every hotels were clean, and people gentle, and we had own showers and toilets everywhere. The Mara Lenchada Camp was a bit more Basic than the rest, but ok for 2 nights. All people were gentle during the tour. I totally recommand it for the price. Thank you so much Jeff for this amazing experience.

Very well organised safari trip. We have seen all big five thanks to our driver Salomon. He seems to know every other driver, was always well informed and devoted to show us the very best of Masai Mara. Thanks to his perfect driving skills we were always best palced to make perfect photos. Very good car, accomodation appropriate for the budget charakter of our trip.

I directly came to Nairobi and book the tour from Spoton just for Masai Mara. Spoton arranged me for Jocky Tour.Jocky Tour is reliable and have office in Nairobi.Also Spoton has its office here with very supportive colleagues..The whole safari was made with comfortable Cruiser. Everything was well planned in advance. And so I continued with them. The whole safari experience is highly dependent on your guide. Francis Ngugi is highly reliable, experienced and professional and well behaved safari guide. He know the forest very well. We very lucky to have him as we saw all big five and also cheetah. I have no complaint with the management of Spoton and Jocky Tour. Highly recommended . Thankyou Spoton /Jocky Tour and wonderful people from Kenya for this wonderful experience.!!
