Good tour
It was an amazing trip. Everything was organized and on time. Our guide, Stephen, was able to find all Big Five for us! He did a great job.

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.

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

One on the best trips-Excellent personnel, lodging and sight seeing.
Excellent staff and guide. Our guide was a safe driver, very knowledgable and able to locate a variety of animals. He was on time and took great care of us!! The tour was amazing. It exceeded all expectations. Lodging was comfortable, clean and situated in beautiful settings. Staff at all sites were helpful and accommodating. The food was far too good with a variety of traditional, Indian and Asian offerings. The best part was the ability to see four different parks and a vast variety of animals and birds. Our guide was able to locate for us the animals we really wanted to see. This trip was amazing! The only inconveniences were the amount of time we had to travel by truck from park to park but it allowed us to see a variety of landscapes, cultural groups and living environments. The only other minor problem was that the wifi connection were weak at some sites. I would love to visit Kenya again!!

Seeing animals in the wild is fantastic
We were picked up at the airport coming out of customs and dropped off at our hotel in Nairobi for the night. We left to Samburu the next day and went on a game run that evening. Steve was always ready when he said we would leave.....the accommodations were great as was the food and although the vehicle route was bumpy it was part of the adventure. Steve was excellent in spotting the animals far away and knew their names. We were able to get close to the animals as was allowed by the rules of the park. At the end we were even dropped off at a friend's house as we were extending our stay by another week. Well done on everything.

professional and high quality of service
We've done a 10 days safari which including Samburu, Masai Mara, lake Bogoria, lake Naivasha and Amboseli with Tekkos. Following my discussion with different tour comanies online and face to face in Nairobi. Tekkos was the most professional one who set park fees, accommodation fees and their service fee( car and guide/driver) clearly. We've paid the park fees by ourself at the gate of each national park. And I want to remind you that Samburu, Lake Bogoria and Lake Naivasha do accept reduced student rate.
On our way we had great time with our guide - Jackson. He is very thoughtful and professional.
I highly recommend them also from the point that they do exclusively Japanese customers with Japanese standards - which means their service follows a very strict, attentive regulation which guarantee their quality.

very nice holiday
we had a very nice holiday, everything went very smoothly and was as good as promised. Our driver was nice (I believe his name was Oscar, I would absolutely recommend him), accurate, friendly and knows Kenya and its history well. The tented camps were all clean, stuff friendly and polite. the only thing that bothered was lack of hot water in one of the tented camps, but after all - this is Africa :). Great views! I do recommend 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!
