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.

Fantastic patience and excellent professional
We had a wonderful time with Tekko Tours on our 14-day Kenya safari and Diani beach holiday. Carol was very attentive and patient in arranging our itinerary and answering our questions. Ken was a great driver and guide who drove smoothly and explained a lot about the animals. We saw many interesting and lively animal behaviors. We highly recommend Tekko Tours to other travelers who want to experience East Africa with a professional and friendly team. Thank you Tekko Tours for the holiday of a lifetime！

Tekko Tours provided an absolutely incredible and unforgettable Kenya + Zanzibar tour experience, w
I recently had the pleasure of going on the Kenya + Zanzibar tour with Tekko Tours, and I must say, it was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The tour organizer, Risper, and our driver, James, went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the trip was perfect. I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for our enjoyment.
From the moment we started our trip in Nairobi, James greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel at ease. His expertise as a driver and his deep understanding of the local areas we visited were truly remarkable. James provided us with detailed safari briefings, ensuring we were well-prepared for our adventure in Lake Nakuru. His passion for wildlife and the environment was evident as he shared fascinating insights about the rhinos, giraffes, and other incredible animals we encountered during our game drives. James's skillful driving through the Maasai Mara Game Reserve made our experience even more thrilling. His ability to spot wildlife and position our vehicle for the best views was outstanding.
Risper, the tour organizer, deserves special recognition for her exceptional planning and attention to detail. Every step of the itinerary was perfectly organized, allowing us to maximize our time and immerse ourselves in the beauty of Kenya and Zanzibar. Risper's recommendations for accommodation were spot-on. The Cliff, Entim Camp, and Melia Zanzibar were all exquisite choices, providing us with comfortable and luxurious stays. Risper's suggestion to visit the Maasai village was a true highlight of the trip. Interacting with the locals and experiencing their culture and dance was an unforgettable and enriching experience.
The itinerary itself was well-balanced, offering a mix of breathtaking natural landscapes, thrilling wildlife encounters, and cultural exploration. From the scenic views of the Great Rift Valley to the full-day game drives in Maasai Mara, each day brought new adventures and unforgettable moments.
Throughout the tour, the meals provided were delicious and satisfying. Whether it was the breakfast at the camps or the picnic lunchboxes during our game drives, the food was always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The all-inclusive option at Melia Zanzibar Resort ensured that we never went hungry and could indulge in a variety of culinary delights.
Overall, I can confidently say that the Kenya + Zanzibar tour with Tekko Tours exceeded all my expectations. James's exceptional driving skills, Risper's meticulous planning, and the well-thought-out itinerary combined to create a truly remarkable experience. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone seeking a memorable and immersive travel experience. Thank you, Tekko Tours, for an unforgettable journey that will forever hold a special place in my heart!!
