Well coordinated tour and itinerary
We wanted to squeeze in a safari in 4 days to take advantage of a layover in Nairobi. John exceeded our expectations and made it all happen with an experience rich itinerary! From our pickup at the airport, our transfer to Masai Mara Park , our stay at Mara Sopa Lodge and the incredible safaris, everything ran pleasantly and like clockwork. We had only to show up!
Mara Sopa lodge is a 3 Star resort that delivers a 5 star experience. The staff is friendly and attentive, just lovely. Denis our driver and guide was conscientious and knowledgeable about the park and the wildlife, and worked hard to give us the best possible adventure. We added in a visit to a Masai village on our last day and we highly recommend this option. The Masai generously welcomed us into their homes to experience firsthand their lifestyle. Really, it couldn't have been better.

Excellent communication, great safari & accommodation
John and his crew provided a great Safari experience. Choice of lodges was excellent. Their guides were knowledgeable and caring. Other guests were great companions. The vans were surprisingly roomy, versatile and robust but the extra cost of 4x4 might be worth it.

Great excursion and communication
Great excursion in Mombassa. Communication was timely and thorough. We were met at the port as arranged. John and the driver assisted us to safely find an ATM at the beginning of the day. Driver very attentive. Would recommend - thx for a great day in Mombassa!

Excellent communication and planning
I had initially been working with another tour operator who was not as responsive as I would like. I reached out to others, and chose CKC for their responsiveness and sample itineraries. John worked with me for about a month to refine our trip schedule, and was attentive to our flight arrival time so that we could check in to our Nairobi hotel as soon as we arrived. We even got breakfast that day at the hotel! John arranged for our hot air balloon ride over Masai Mara National Park at sunrise, and it will probably be the most favorite hour of my life! Over our 10 day stay, we had 4 different drivers, and they were all excellent. Simon knew every back road of Masai Mara and got us front-row views of every animal. Isack navigated the difficult roads of Tanzania very well, stayed with us at the Serengeti tented camp, and took us down into the fantastic Ngorongo Crater. He made sure we were able to see a rhino, even at a long distance. We would have never spotted it on our own. CKC Tours took care of us very personally and very professionally. I highly recommend you plan a trip with them!

Kenya Safari of a Lifetime
Well organised and affordable safari in Kenya – 10 days, 4 national parks – mix of permanent tent camp and medium range lodge accommodation.
Sincere thanks to CKC Director John and our Guide Simon for making our safari of a lifetime a seamless and unforgettable experience!!!
We particularly appreciate Simon considering our needs as a family (parents with young adult daughters) and taking the time to accommodate our interests in the wildlife and trees along with the history of Kenya and current state of agricultural industries.
Highly recommended to others looking for a customised safari.

Super friendly and excellent service
We had an amazing experience with CKC as our guide for climbing Mount Kenya. From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and care were exceptional. The communication with John before the trip was great - he answered my questions on WhatsApp and was in touch frequently.
The guides were really knowledgeable about the flora and fauna on the route, which made for a really interesting trek. They took great care to ensure our safety at every step, making the trek both enjoyable and challenging in the best way possible. Their passion for the mountain and deep understanding of local wildlife and culture enriched our experience tremendously. The team also provided excellent support, in particular the delicious meals, ensuring we were well-prepared for the summit.
We couldn't recommend CKC more highly for anyone looking to embark on a trek to Mount Kenya!
