Competent, helpful, reliable and every question was answered within a short time to our satisfaction
Unforgetable Excpirience,
we, grandma, son, daughter in law and grandson, decided to make a safaritravel from Nairobi to Mombasa, visiting Ol pejeta, Lake Nakuru,
Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo West. From there we were transferred to Mombasa Diani Beach to Swahili Beach Hotel.
It was really a great time. We saw lots of animals, all big 5 and our driver felt never tired to surch for us the best possibilities to get close
to all the fabulous animals and landscapes.
It was planned very well and all accomodation were comfortable, without any complains.
We came back with a lot of wonderful remembers and we were cared very well until our flight back home.
The whole trip was excellent without any problems.
We all thank you once more for this wonderful time and we can recommend TEKKO Tours warmest to everyone.

Great customer service
From inquiry to the safari all was handled effectively and on time. Risper is quick in responding and providing all information through email. Our driver/tour guide William was fantastic. So glad we got to experience our safari with him.

Tekko tours is great and Mr Alan was the best driver we could have, always sharing interesting facts
I went on this trip with my girlfriend and we were a bit skeptical about booking it all online, because we didn't know much about how the trip should be or how we should move in Kenya.
Carol, from Tekko tours supported us all the way through, helping us design the trip.
Everything was extremely professional, always on time. We got picked up from our hotel at 6am as agreed, and we went by car to Maasai Mara.
Mr. Allan, was always very friendly during the trip. This is very important as we ended up spending lots of time in the car. Additionally, Mr Allan was also telling us interesting facts about the what we were seeing and making great efforts to ensure we could see as much as possible.
We then ended up visiting 2 additional parks, and the drove back to Nairobi, and got drop at the hotel.
The lodges Tekko arranged were also amazing, particularly the Serena at Masaai Mara.
Thank you,
Francisco

Flexible, enjoyable and economic tour with experienced guide/driver and excellent value for money
Tekko was the best choice for the service, tour offered and value of money. We travelled for 5 days and 4 nights visiting Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara and heading to mount Kenya during our last day. Despite the long hours of travel, our driver, Mr William, made the experience enjoyable and fluid since he was extremely chatty and funny. At the same time, he was helpful and patient accommodating last minute requests and guiding us during this beautiful experience. Thanks to his expertise during our trip we saw the big 5 and learnt multiple things about Kenya's culture, politics and landscape. We enjoyed a lot our Safari with him and recommend Tekko Tours and Travels to everybody.

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
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
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.

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!

You must Go with Tekko! A perfect tour guide, Safe and Exhilarating!!
We had a blast! - With Tekko Tours
We were exhilarated throughout the trip.
From the first contact withTekko, we were treated with much respect. The planner was very accomodating, helpful and, explained details tirelessly, with no pressure - a smooth transaction
Steve, our tour guide for 9 days, was very professional, always safety first, on-time, informative and, a gentleman - a perfect guide for us.
We appreciated for his determained pursuit for the crossing of wildebeests on the last day – our mission has completed ever perfectly.
The trip did change our perspectives on the nature, as well as the people of Kenya, and the African continent.
Safari should be mandatory for everone in the world!
Yes, we are two happy people and we owe the success of our trip to Tekko, definitely.
Everone, go to Kenya, do the Safari! and if you have decided to go, we highly recommend you to go with Tekko

5-day Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara
I took a 5-day safari trip with Tekko Tours visiting Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara early in November 2015 and it was one of the best experiences in my life! The communication with Maggie was smooth and fast. She is very responsive and I didn't have to wait long for her reply. The itinerary of the trip was exactly as we planned beforehand. My driver Jackson is a very polite and knowledgeable man, always willing to help and go the extra mile for the customer. Hid driving skills are impeccable and I didn't have to worry for my or animals' safety. We had some delays during the trip and even a car malfunction, but Jackson handled everything professionally and with to my complete satisfaction. When his car broke down and we couldn't reach Maasai Mara, he coordinated with another group in order for me not to miss my game drive. I recommend the Tekko Tours to all my friends considering a safari in Kenya, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Even the price is competitive, you will definitely get your money's worth.
