Amazing Tours and Amazing People
Without Exadoration this is by far the best trip I have ever had in my life, I strongly encourage to have a trip with Tekko Tours to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Make sure you tell them to let you stay at Lake Nakuru Lodge.

Fantastic Safari
We enjoyed a fantastic and memorable 10-day safari with Tekko Tour. From our first email contact with Tekko Tours, we felt welcome and in excellent hands. Carol was instrumental in helping us plan our trip. She customized our itinerary to fit our needs, always answering our many inquiries and requests timely and with the most patient, professional and kind attitude.
We ended up visiting 6 national parks and managed to see the Big Five and many more beautiful animals. Our driver Jackson was amazing, always working to ensure that each game drive was filled with new animal sightings. One of our highlights was observing a Cheetah hunt. His seemingly endless efforts in showing us Kenya made this safari a great and successful tip. Jackson’s knowledge of the animals, local areas, history was never ending. He seemed to know just about everything and everybody in Kenya.
Thank you Tekko Tours, especially Carol and Jackson for a memorable trip. We highly recommend you.

Excellent
We did 8-days drive in 5 different NP-s. It was really amazing. I can highly recommend Tekko Tour for the organisation of your Safari in Kenya. The booking was handeled incredibly efficiently. Carol answered all our questions very quickly. Our guide , Jackson, was great: a very careful driver, polite and he was always in time. We travelled with kids and always felt safe. We saw everything, and I mean everything... 27 lions , 2 leopards, 3 gepards, elephants, hippos, crocs, buffalos, gnus, rhinos (both black and white).... Every game drive we saw something new. Jackson - you are the best!

Unforgettable experience!!!
It was our first experience of as safari in Africa and it was unforgettable!
Our guide, Jackson, was always very friendly, polite, positive and had a lot of experience that was keen to share with us. Very skilled he was so he helped us in exploring the marvellous fauna and flora in Kenya.
Everything from timings to hotels, was well organized and confortable.
Maggie was very professional and she prepared all what we need and was very quick in replying us through emails during trip organisation.
We sure will ben back in Kenya to discover our parts of the country and we will ask them to be our tour operator.
Thanks to them we had an awe-inspiring experience in Kenya!

Amazing experience
We did an 8 day safari in Kenya and could not be more pleased. Our driver (I'm probably butchering the spelling) Undolo/Gordon was fantastic. He knew just where to go to see certain things that were hard to find and because he had friends everywhere we went he was able to quickly get tips to show us tons of animals. He'd get a call on the radio, take off towards the location of the tip and moments later we're seeing a family of lions, cheetahs, leopards, etc. If you're thinking about doing a self driving tour, don't do it. Beyond getting terribly lost out on the dirt roads of rural Kenya there's no substitute for the knowledge and experience of a professional guide.
We spent a lot of time on the road going from place to place which wasn't ideal but was necessary as our tour covered quite a few different places in the country. Covering all of that distance meant we got to see certain things in certain areas that were only available there. You just won't see the whole big 5 in one park so traveling is key. Also, the differences in climate and terrain from one area to the next was unbelievable.
Here's our itinerary: Amboseli Sentrim Camp (1 Night), The Ark Lodge (1 Night), Samburu Game Lodge (2 Nights)., Flamingo Hill Tented Camp (1 Night) & Ol Moran Tented Camp (2 Nights)
Best part of this trip, it was a private tour so it was just us in a big safari van. It was our honeymoon so it was perfect that we weren't crammed in a van with a ton of people. Seeing other vans out there in the parks that were full I'm so glad we had a private tour, felt like being a VIP.
If we do another tour in the future it will definitely be with Tekko.

Friendly and good value
We, a group of friends, went with Tekko Tours on a trip to Samburu, Meru, Aberdare. Tekko Tours were very helpful and forthcoming and they understood what we wanted. Accommodations were convenient and beautiful, our driver/guide was very reliable, accommodating and friendly. Everything went straightforward and we enjoyed our trip completely. I can highly recommend Tekko Tours and would book with them anytime again.

We experienced spectacular scenery, comfortable lodging, and the most gracious people.
We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary with an amazing safari to Kenya. We received a very prompt reply from Maggie to our inquiry for information about possible destinations/prices. She responded to all our requests for information in the same quick and courteous manner via email. She planned our trip with detail and every place we stayed knew that it was our anniversary and provided us special treats. Jackson was our tour guide and we could not have asked for anyone better. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He was patient and and had good humor. We felt very safe with him wherever we were. We found the lodging at the Fairmount Mt. Kenya Safari Club to be the most luxurious. The scenery and staff of the Sun Africa Keekorok Lodge were wonderful. A highlight of our trip was visiting the Masai village just outside of the Masai Mara national park. We hope to return to Kenya and will definitely book through Maggie and ask for Jackson to be our guide. We had a wonderful experience thanks to Tekko Tours.
