Carol was very informative and at our services the entire trip!
Our trip was amazing. Although, we only spent 5 days between Kenya and Zanzibar, it was still a life changing & bucket list experience! We had seen the “Big 5” by day two of our safari. We swam with turtles in Zanzibar, Dolphin watched & went to Starfish Island. All amazing experiences! The staff was at our leisure & the safari’s & tours were beautiful. The only reason I give 4 stars is for three reasons. One, as beautiful and amazing as this was, it is pricey for the average person. Two, we had a slight hiccup with our return flight to Nairobi from Zanzibar. Make sure to double check all of your air plane tickets to verify the names of your party match your passport EXACTLY as these countries do not leave room for misspellings. Thirdly, I do not recommend flying with Precision Air out of Zanzibar. They delayed us for TWO HOURS for our flight to Nairobi & because of this, we almost missed our flight from Nairobi back to the USA. The third portion of this review was definitely out of Carol’s hands so we do NOT fault her for this but again, I HIGHLY suggest to ask to use a different airline if that airline remains an option. Overall, we would book with Carol again when and if we plan to come back to Kenya. Thank you so much Carol. Us having sn amazing time is an understatement.

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.

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.

Excellent. We saw every animal that we hoped to see, except for the elusive cheetah.
We had a fabulous safari. Our driver, Steve, was well informed and made every trip exciting and different. He ensured that we saw everything that we wanted to, including a large herd of wildebeast and zebras crossing the Mara river.
Our accommodation was luxurious and the food was delicious.
Steve varied the locations that we visited, making every journey as interesting as the last.
We highly recommend the balloon ride. Besides the assortment of animals that we saw; watching the sun rise over the Massai Mara is an experience in itself.
We are grateful to all the staff that made our safari a complete pleasure, in particular our driver, Steve. Thank you Steve, you worked very hard to make it the best holiday ever.

Perfect from start to finish.
We had the most amazing honeymoon with Tekko tours. From the start of the booking process, Carol was friendly, informative, and prompt to respond, ensuring that a wonderful itinerary was created that went above and beyond what we were expecting.
When we arrived, we were met by our driver, William, at the airport and given a quick tour of the land cruiser. From there, we travelled to Ol Pojeta, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, and Tsavo West. Whilst the drives between these places were long, William went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable with clear communication and rest stops. On arrival at each location, we were blown away by the accommodation that Tekko had arranged for us. Carol had informed each hotel we were on honeymoon and arranged special things like a cake and hot air balloon ride on my wife's birthday.
During game drives, William was in his element, knowing exactly where to take us to see the best views of animals and ensuring we got to see all of the 'big 5' up close. Not only was William incredibly knowledgeable, but he was also totally in tune with us, knowing exactly which animals we wanted to see each day.
We spent the final 4 days of our safari at Diani beach which turned out to be much needed after the early starts on safari. The flight from Diani back to Nairobi was also well organised by Tekko.
We want to thank Tekko, with special thanks to Carol and William, for such an incredible adventure!
Asante Sana!
Carol our agent was amazing, efficient, responsive, caring and friendly
From the initial call to our arrival back home, Carol kept us informed every step of the way. She responded quickly with information requests and was very knowledgeable about the places and facilities offered. She checked on us at reasonable intervals of time and made sure that any issues were timely resolved. Our drivers Max and Meidy were equally involved, gracious and always punctual. We strongly recommend this team to anyone planning a Safari.

Tekko created a hassle-free, unforgettable experience
We greatly enjoyed our 8-day safari experience with Tekko Tours. Risper did a wonderful job of organizing everything. She created a hassle-free, highly educational, and luxurious experience for my husband and myself. No effort was spared in customizing our experience to fit our interests and schedule.
Stephen, our guide, was very knowledgeable and experienced. He is a wealth of information and a great travel companion.
I highly recommend Tekko!

A very professional and helpful tour operator.
We have just got home from the most amazing experiences in our lives. I booked an 8 day safari and 5 day at the beach tour with Tekko Tours. From the beginning Carol was extremely helpful and explained everything, the communication was excellent, answering any questions that I had. We believe that the cost of the tour was very good and worth every penny. All the accommodation was lovely and the food excellent, we will be on a diet now! Our guide for the tour was called William and we will be forever grateful to him for making our tour so unforgettable. He was so knowledgeable and helped us to view all the animals we wanted to see. We will never forget this holiday and we have Carol, William and Tekko Tours to thank for that.
Great
Our safari has been great and very well-organized! We were assisted by Carol who is really wonderful, professional, and very efficient. She was flexible and positive and helped us with the preparation of the safari. During the safari our guide was Kennedy, who is a good driver and a very nice and experienced guide. He knows a lot about the parks and the animals and was very flexible and considerate as well.
Highly recommend Tekko tours

Wonderful experience from start to finish!
From the moment we first enquired about itineraries, Tekko Tours couldn’t have been more helpful and easy to communicate with, providing prompt and helpful responses all the way through our booking process. We opted to make a few changes to the itinerary that we chose and these requests we all dealt with swiftly without any issues. In comparison to other quotes we received we thought the value for money was great and we don’t feel like we overspent on any aspect of the trip. The tour itself was faultless, whilst there was a lot of travel between locations each stop offered something different which made the distance covered worthwhile.
Our driver went out of his way to ensure our trip was special, he was very knowledgeable and happy to share information throughout the trip to enhance our experience. He was always on time ensuring we made the most of each location, he even getting to the airport an hour before our arrival time (4am) to ensure we wouldn’t start later than necessary.
