Couldn't have been better: the trip of a lifetime, expert guides, great hotels, rock bottom price.
CKC is the outfit to go with if you want local professionals, expert guides, individualized itineraries, a small group and incredible low prices for the high quality experience. The largest group they take is six, so if a couple can find four friends, you have your own private safari and you can write the itinerary yourselves. Mr. Muhoho knows his business thoroughly, responds to communication almost immediately (granted the time difference), is understanding and completely flexible. He can give you good advice on your selections. CKC safaris are advertised as "medium" range but to our eyes most of the lodges were luxurious, with spacious, comfortable rooms, all facilities and excellent, elegantly presented food. The two "tent camps" in the Serengeti were more like the tents a king would travel with: large, multi-room, permanent toilet, hot shower, vanity, and cowhide rugs on the floor! His guides could win a Nobel prize for driving on the difficult roads of the parks. By all means, take the optional ranger walk from the Rhino Inn down to the watering hole where the Masai herders bring their animals.

Wonderful trip in Kenya
We just came back from 6 days safari game drive in Kenya. This is our second time doing game drive there and we had a wonderful time. John organized the tour for us. The accommodations were great. Kennedy was our driver. He was excellent. We saw a lot of animals (big 5 in one trip) which was amazing. This is our 4th safari trip and the only time we got to see big 5 in one trip. Kennedy suggested us to do boat safari in the lake on our way to Masai mara and that was great. We saw so many hippos. We had great experiences with this tour company and we would use it again for our next safari trip in Tanzania. Thanks John and Kennedy!!!!

We were always in good hands
Our 6 day safari organised by CKC Tours & Travel that went from Nairobi to Maasi Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater back to Nairobi was the trip of a lifetime and our safari exceeded our expectations. During our planning we request changes to our initial itinerary in terms of arrival and departure date / time. John adjusted the itinerary timings and arranged additional accommodation to meet our needs. From our arrival at Nairobi airport, through the game parks and border crossings, we were always in the hands of experienced, friendly, and very helpful staff. The whole experience was amazing: viewing the animals, the balloon ride, the Maasi village, the knowledge and friendliness of the drivers/guides, but most of all the animals. Thank you for the making the whole experience so enjoyable and memorable.

Great safari experience
John & CKC Tours & Travel were SO incredible during our time in Kenya. Can't say enough good things about them. If possible, ask for Simon as a tour guide.

Simon, John and CKC tours did an amazing job! We had a fantastic time. The Lions! The Elephants! Simon our tour guide and driver made sure that we got to see it all. He was extremely friendly and very knowledgable. John our tour operator was always there with a smile from the moment we arrived in Nairobi. It was really a great experience! Thank you!

Kenyan Safari made easy
Exploring unknown lands can be so incredible but it's often intimidating. CKC Tours made this adventure so easy and enjoyable. From the moment we were picked up from the airport to the moment they dropped us off, they made every part of the trip effortless. We saw the sunrise flight of flamingos on Lake Nakuru, drove next to Rhino's, came across a lion pouncing on a pair of cheetahs in Masai Mara and even enjoyed an impromptu motor boat encounter with some up close hippos on Lake Navasio that our driver Simon made happen. We had limited time and they worked so hard to make sure we saw everything and they did it with a smile. The hardest part of our days was waking up to make sure we saw everything!

This was a once-in-a-lifetime tour!
My tour through Kenya was absolutely incredible. From the moment I was picked up at the airport by John and Simon, through my safaris at Lake Nakuru and Massai Mara, and back to our beautiful hotel in Nairobi, this was an A+ trip. Our driver and guide Simon was beyond incredible. He seemed to know exactly where each and every animal would be hiding during our safaris, providing the perfect amount of adventure and excitement. I cannot recommend this tour group more highly!

Awesome Safari Experience in Tanzania - Would Highly Recommend
Our experience with CKC Tours and Travel was exceptional. This was the first time we planned an experience like this and the planning smooth and easy. Mr. Muholo was very responsive to our needs and helped worked through several iterations and customizations of the itinerary until we had it all planned to our satisfaction. Email inquiries were responded to quickly, usually the next day. We planned a five-day safari in Tanzania that included visits to Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater (the best) national parks. The actual safari experience was amazing! From the initial pickup at our residence in Nairobi to the drop off at the airport we felt well taken care of. Our safari guide, John, was the absolute best. He was courteous, considerate, always on-time, and did a great job of finding the animals. The three Serena lodges that were booked for the tour were beautiful and super comfortable accommodations—each with their own personality, but consistent quality of service. Ending each day relaxing in the lodge with bottle of wine was the perfect ending to the day’s experiences. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and safari experience. We would highly recommend booking a tour with CKC.
