Outstanding organisation of travel, accommodation, safari and personnel.
The most incredible safari.
Well done John at CKC Tours. All travel arrangements were 100% efficient and the accommodation and game lodges outstanding. The rangers were very knowledgeable and the annual migration was a wonderous sight to behold.
We were so sad to leave your beautiful country and miss all the friendly, smiling faces.
We highly recommend your company and would love to return.
Fantastic experience, John really put our mind at ease and organized an excellent tour
John is super responsive and answered all our queries quickly and efficiently.
The tour itself was really enjoyable, spending just the right amount of time at each location
Great job!!

Efficient, professional, caring and great value
John is absolutely the BEST in dealing with and responding to emails.nothing to much trouble. Our second time for using them.
We combined a safari with time working at a small village caring for orphans that we have worked with for 15 years. Our driver was equally as committed to helping us in many ways.
The Safari was well organised and again nothing was to much trouble.
No hesitation in using them again.

John from CKC was a good communicator, reliable and very helpful. The vehicle provided was perfect.
We hired a vehicle and driver through John, CKC, both organized by John. We booked the service before leaving Australia. John maintained contact with us throughout. He was able to secure our driver/guide, George, who was fantastic. The vehicle was very comfortable.
We visited Tsavo East, on a private tour, quite a drive away from Nairobi. We considered a self-drive, but very pleased we didn't. George was amazing in the madness of Kenyan highway driving.
We'd have no hesitation in recommending CKC and John if you are considering a private tour of Kenya. Excellent value for money.

Amazing experience!! best tour operator that deserves 10 stars!!
Just returned from a 7-Day Tsavo West-Amboseli-Nakuru-Mara-Lodge tour (from Nairobi to Mombasa ) ended at Diani beach and had an incredible holiday and safari! I can't recommend CKC Tours and Travel highly enough. Manager John is very friendly, professional and helpful. I have booked a shared tour but ended up being just me for the last few days. The trip was amazing and very well organised with excellent hotel choices especially the various Sopa Lodges and the Killaguney Serena Lodge with nice rooms and delicious food . I saw the Big 5 and many more wonderful animals . My drivers were amazing at spotting them in the distance! The drivers also were very knowledgable and told me a lot about the animals and their country. The price of the tour is probably the best in Nairobi.
Thank you CKC for making my dream come true !

Smooth and organized safari
Just returned from a Kenyan safari trip organized by John at CKC. From the very beginning of our email communications he was prompt with his responses, patient and helpful. This continued when we landed in Nairobi and throughout our trip. When traveling with 4 children half way on the other side of the world, it felt reassuring to have John available to us should any issues/questions came up. Everything went smoothly and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CKC and their services.

Fantastic! Too bad 6 stars is not an option
We were taken care of as soon as we landed in Nairobi.
Taken to our hotel ,picked up 2 days later and taken to the little airport for our trips to Masai Mara and Serengeti.
We had the presidential suite at both resorts and they are Fantastic.
The Serena lodges were great. Food was good, safaris were top notch.
John was the best to deal with at CKC.

Above and beyond! Five stars are not enough.
Not a bad word to say about these guys. Manager John was beyond helpful, not sure I've ever had dealings with anyone quite as helpful to be honest. Whilst booking replies to emails were prompt, helpful and patient. I arrived a 3 hours earlier at the Nairobi office than I'd booked for, but I was allowed to take the vehicle (a RAV4) for no extra cost, even though I was strictly speaking extending the rental to a new 24-hour period. Then he drove me out to an entrance slip of the expressway to save me the stress of driving in the city, and then met me at a pre-agreed location in the suburbs at the end of the rental to spare me having to try and find the office. The car had developed a transmission problem on the last day, but my deposit was returned in full without any issues. And then to round it all off, he wouldn't leave me until he'd personally found me, and negotiated a price for, a taxi to take me to the friend's house I was staying at that night. Will definitely be going straight to them next time I go to Kenya and would totally recommend anyone else to do likewise.

Great service
We rented two jeeps with this company for a self-drive tour through Kenya and we were very satisfied.
The comunnication with John (e-mails, WhatsApp) was smooth and quick and everything we agreed on was 100 % VALID!! John is very nice, responsible and professional guy.
Even though one of the cars was a bit older, none of the cars had any kind of problem on the off-road tracks in the national parks at all. They worked perfectly for the whole time.
The price and unlimited mileage is probably the best in Nairobi.

Great tour operator with excellent organization.
We booked the 7-Day Tsavo West-Amboseli-Nakuru-Mara-Lodge tour (from Nairobi to Mombasa or beach hotel) and had a fantastic time. Booking and communication went smoothly, and the tour was perfectly organized. We had booked a shared tour but ended up being just the two of us for the last few days. The mid-range accommodations were beautiful, especially the various Sopa Lodges, the food was always great, and we felt very comfortable. We highly recommend CKC-Tours, and John was always available and took care of everything perfectly.
