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!
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!

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.

Absolutely amazing service and guide
We had a fantastic time on our tour of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Our guide Kennedy was absolutely amazing- so knowledgeable and made sure we saw as much as we could. He was prompt and on time every morning and he answered any questions we had. He truly made the trip amazing. Carol was also amazing at handling everything from an admin point of view. The vehicle was lovely and accomodation spot on. Would highly recommend.
