An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari Experience!
I can’t recommend this tour operator enough! From start to finish, my experience was seamless, enjoyable, and truly exceeded my expectations.
First, I’d like to mention Risper, who was my main point of contact throughout the entire process. She was incredible—always quick to respond and provided all the information I needed in a timely and clear manner. Risper really took the time to understand my preferences and crafted an itinerary and quote that perfectly aligned with my budget and requests. I felt completely taken care of right from the planning stage.
Then there’s Kevin, who was our driver and guide for the duration of the trip. Kevin made our safari experience unforgettable. He’s a true professional with a deep passion for the wildlife, culture, and landscapes of Kenya. His enthusiasm was contagious, and I learned so much from him throughout the journey. He was also incredibly respectful of local cultures and showed a genuine understanding of the communities we visited, making our trip not just enjoyable, but educational as well.
The price of the tour was very reasonable, especially considering the luxury and quality of the service we received. The operator provided the best options within our budget, and we truly felt we were getting excellent value for money.
This safari was part of our honeymoon, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. It was everything my husband and I had dreamed of, and we can’t wait to return for our next adventure in Kenya.
Thank you for making our honeymoon truly special and unforgettable! I highly recommend this operator to anyone looking for a top-notch safari experience.

This amazing and personable tour company made our African safari the trip of a lifetime!
When we first started our research on Kenyan safaris, and corresponding with different companies, I kept coming back to Carol at Tekko Tours. She was so helpful, insightful and her communications were excellent and responses very quick. She built a trusting relationship from the start, so it was easy to choose her and book with Tekko Tours. She planned the safari and accommodations perfectly and our driver, Steve was also perfect! He too, was so personable and knowledgeable. Not only on the safari but on our drives to the park, he was always providing us with such interesting information on Kenya, it's people and cultures. We were two female friends travelling together, and Steve always made us feel safe and cared for. We had so much fun, and laughs along the way. The jeep was perfect for us, and Steve took such care of it! It was a sad day saying goodbye to our new friend Steve, and our jeep, our second home. Carol arranged for transportation and flights and they were all perfect. Our accommodations in the different parks were amazing, each with it's own uniqueness, and the food was delicious everywhere we stayed. I would 150% recommend Tekko tours to everyone, they were so reliable and the cost was so reasonable! Africa and the Kenyan people will always hold a special place in our hearts. As friends we have travelled all over the world, and this was the best trip ever and the trip of a life time thanks to Tekko Tours (Carol and Steve)! And I did forget to mention, "Yes, we saw the "Big 5!"To see animals in the wild, is so wonderful and surreal!

Good experience
A wonderful tour with an excellent guide and well-chosen accommodations.
Professional
The Safari went without any issues and exceeded expectations. The guide was excellent and extremely informative about Kenya and all the animals we saw. Food and accommodations were great.
Excellent in all aspects
We booked our Safari for our family group of ten people, with Carol of Tekko Tours and throughout the process she helped us. Even booking our train tickets for after the safari. The accommodation was excellent but most importantly our two guides Stephen and Kevin were extremely knowledgable and very dedicated to making sure that we had the best experience possible, always going beyond what they needed to. We were lucky in the enormous range of animals and bird life we saw but also this was due to their skills and care. We would all highly recommend anyone to book with this company

Good value, friendly and reliable service
We booked our 3-day safari experience with Tekko Tours (2 days Maasai Mara, 1 day Lake Nakuru) and were extremely pleased with the service offered. There was flexibility in our choices, including dates and where we wanted to stay, which made us feel in control of our booking. The value for money was good, as we had had a wide range of quotes when booking and Tekko seemed the most reasonable for the mid-range quality that we wanted. Communication ahead of the tour was a little slow, with us having to chase to see how we go about making the final payment for the tour, but this was not a significant factor. The tour itself was a great experience!

The trip of a lifetime thanks to Tekko!
Just finished our incredible safari with Tekko tours and cannot recommend them highly enough. We have been in contact with Risper for nearly 5 years and she has been so patient considering our plans changed 1000 times, and always sent us new itineraries when we asked. Tekko even kept our original deposit when we first booked back in 2019 and then had to re schedule due to covid etc! Our driver Kennedy was outstanding, very professional throughout and gave us so much information about the animals, always trying his hardest to make sure we saw them all. We managed to see 4 out of the big 5 thanks to Kennedy. We want to give a big big thanks to him.
During our trip we changed our minds about our last day plans, so we asked Kennedy and Risper if we could change the itinerary and there was absolutely no problem at all, they were so easy going and made every effort to do what we wanted.
Also blown away with the accommodation, especially the cliff in lake Nakuru (the photo with the bath and sunrise!!) so definitely recommend this is you are visiting. We also stayed at Ashnil Mara camp which was brilliant (the tent pic!) and then Enashipai in Naivasha which was a lovely resort.
We will be recommending Tekko Tours to all our family and friends and will definitely be booking through them the next time we go to Africa.

We got all the help and information we needed both before and during our trip. Excellent service!
We got all needed help and information from the tour operator both before and during our trip to Kenya. The chosen accommodations and parks were to our liking and fitted us as a family with two adults and two kids. Our boys liked the lodges, the parks and the game drives as much as we did and we felt like we were taken care of during the whole trip. We had some problems with our visas upon arrival (complete our mistake) and the tour operator was very quick to organise help and adjustments according to our new schedule. Value for money and reliability was excellent. We have no complaints at all! Our driver Kennedy was a very friendly person who always tried his best to make us feel well taken care of and comfortable. Since we spent some hours (a lot) in the car together with him, we had time to discuss a lot of things and he kindly answered all our questions about Kenya as a country and the wildlife around us in the parks. Our children liked him very much and many times said they felt very safe with him. As a parent this is one of the most important things: That your children feel safe on a trip to a very different corner of the world where they experience so many new things. Thank you Kennedy for making our trip such a lovely memory! And thank you for patiently answering all our questions! We will always be thankful for the time we spent together in your beautiful country! Kind regards, Magnus, Cecilia, Alexander and Erik
