Jocky Tours - Very Good Value Budget Tour
After a lot of search for Budget Tours to Masai Mara, I chose Jocky Tours .I chose their 3 day Masai Mara Tour. I chose them because they were the cheapest tours available. I kept my expectations low. On Day one, We were picked up from a residence in Nairobi around 8am and was driven in a Toyota Van. The Van driver / Guide was an amazing driver. The roads in Masai Mara are a bit treacherous as they get very muddy during rain. Van is not a four wheel drive and one has to be an expert in driving in those conditions. We got to Masai Mara around 4pm and was immediately taken around for an evening game drive. Next day it was a full day game drive. On day three we left for early morning game drive and then headed back to Nairobi.
The Van: There was lot of mud in the seat. The tour company should clean up the van very well before picking up the guests.
The Camp accommodation: We stayed in a tent. It was clean, It had comfortable beds , mosquito nets. Electricity is available only for 4 hours between 6pm and 10pm and for about 3 hours in the morning. In night it is pitch dark. One should carry lights. The water in the camp is horrible. We were forced to skip shower for couple of days. Buy big can of drinking water from outside.
The Guide: The guide hardly spoke about the geography, the animals etc. However he showed all sorts of animals including a leopard which is hard to spot. All the drivers have radio and many tour operators share the information about animals with each other. The guy was very brave. He parked the van very close to cheetahs, lions as if he was parking them close to a dog. We infect took a selfie with a lion.
Food: Food was okay.

An excellent trip with friendly people and good service.
The Safari was excellent and our driver was both knowledgable and an excellent driver. We saw a lot, enjoyed the company and had a very fun trip. We were picked up close to the advertised time and dropped off even before the scheduled time. We had plenty of food and loved eating lunch with the giraffe. Our camp was neat and clean with meals on time and quite tastey. We would use jockytours again.

Great experience! We will recommend it!
We had been recommended Jocky Tours by a friend who did a Safari with them and we were so happy to have contracted it with them.
We had a great time!! Staff ( Isaac and Joseph) were VERY nice and friendly.
Joseph came pick usup at the airport even though our flight landed at 23.00 and then he dropped us in a hotel we had booked for the night. Next morning he came for us at 7.00 am, very friendly!
Isaac was our driver and guide during the 5 day Safari we did and he made us feel very welcome and safe.
He knew evreything there is to know about the animals and the environment. He did his very best so we could have an excellent view of the animals all the time, Thanks Isaac!
We stayed in a camp in Maasai Mara which was what we expected! Clean and safe. Friendly staff. All good.
We recommend to visit the Maasai village, it was interrsting to visit their houses and learn a bit more of their culture.
Lake Nakuru and Naivasha were great but maybe it could have been done in one day instead of two. However we enjoyed it much.
We transfered 15% of the payment in advanced through their website and itwas totally reliable. The rest we paid cash when we reached their office in Nairobi.
ASANTI SANA!

Amazing Experience despite one thing
Jocky tours, Isaac and John allowed us to have a great experience in our first safari in Kenya. Isaac was really helpful during all our stay. Just to write down, that despite it was not fault of Jocky tours and Isaac, someone, during our stop to have lunch in our last day of the safari, stole one bag from one person of the group. Despite that, an amazing experience. Maybe, regarding Jocky Tours I would not include this restaurant for future tours, as may not be safe for tourists. Thanks again Isaac and Jocky Tours for the experience.

Very friendly and kind
We did a 2 day safari in Masai Mara which was very fulfilling. The driver, Andreu, was very professional, kind and friendly. Moreover we met new people and made new friends. There was a tiny problem when they picked us up that caused a delay but the Jocky Agency solved and rewarded us. Very good experience! Great guide, and very good resort and food.

Good
All was good but the real safari is only one and a half day .....the remaining is transport to and from....and all information should be made clear in advance...5%fees applicable on payment....and token should be given to village tours. Else it was ok.

Good budget safari experience for solo traveller to Masai Mara
I enjoyed a three nite stay at Lenchada camp just outside the Mara. It is basic accommodation with limited electrical power so bring a power bank with you. The food was hearty, and tasty, lots of cooked veggies which I loved. My two guides over the days were Evans and Moses, both were very good. My only complaint was the organization, timing for pickup which I reported to the owner. I will hire Jocky again, as a budget traveller Jocky provided exactly what I am looking for. I am an experienced safari person and have been in a number of budget places and Lenchada was fine. The most important thing to consider is clean, good food and excellent guides. Keep up the good work.
