Amazing experience and a great driver
We had a fantastic time on our safari. It was well thought out and Risper helped us customize the tour with the places we wanted to spend the most time. Our driver Stephen was knowledgeable about the animals and also how to handle muddy roads. I would 100% recommend this tour to a friend. Be sure to ask about customization options and picking your own lodging!

Tekko Tours amazing support before, during and after the trip.
I travelled with my wife to Kenya for a 14-day safari + beach journey. One of the things I would like to highlight is the communication I had with Carol from Tekko tours. I was skeptical mainly because the pandemic we are facing and some restrictions to travel. Tekko tours was very supportive to prepare this trip, everything was planned, and we had a unique experience.
I also would like to highlight our tour guide, Jackson, who was taking care of every detail while we were on the safari, creating a nice and tailored experience.
I recommend Tekko Tours for this kind of unique experience.

Very reliable operator with great customer service
Did an excellent 5 day/4 night safari with Tekko Tours to Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mari in July 2021. Carol in the office was very responsive and professional in customising the trip and dealing with my many amendments and questions. The price quoted was very competitive and we found the safari good value.
The driver-guide Jackson was friendly and professional, drove very carefully and kept the vehicle clean and tidy. He was reliable, punctual and had good wildlife knowledge. Would use Tekko Tours again without hesitation, highly recommended.

Excellent!
I cannot say enough good things about Tekko Tours! From beginning to end, the planning and the trip itself were fantastic! The staff is professional, knowledgeable, very responsive and warm. Our trip was cancelled and re-routed two times due to COVID-19 and Risper at Tekko Tours did an amazing job at finding solutions quickly. She has been extremely patient and efficient.
Our guide William who accompanied us for 5 days was remarkable. He was extremely pleasant, resourceful, professional and knowledgeable. He was kind, conscientious and we loved being with him!
I absolutely recommend Tekko Tours!

Flawless
I cannot recommend Tekko Tours enough. We had an incredible two week trip all booked through Carol at Tekko and everything went off without a hitch! We hiked Kilimanjaro, went to Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Masai Mara, Lake Nukuru, and Ol Pejeta Conservancy and had amazing guides throughout- Wines (Kilimanjaro), Medy (Tanzania Safari), and William (Kenya Safari). Even in the times of COVID, we didn't have to think of anything while on our trip - we were simply able to enjoy and the Tekko team took care of everything. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour operator
I asked for an itinerary of a 11 days private tour to Amboseli, Aberdare, Samburu and Nakuru, with one night in Nairobi for the mandatory COVID test two days before flight.
Tekko's Carol was very quick in responding to my enquiries and to the point. Of the five companies that I sent quote request to, the price was the most reasonable, and choice of accommodation was very good.
The driver/guide assigned to me was Jackson. He was very patient and careful, listening to all my requests regarding vehicle positioning during game drives (as a photographer, I am very fussy about where the vehicle needs to be parked)
All in all, I had a wonderful time in Kenya and managed to get great shots.
Tekko Tours comes highly recommended

The best company with the best service!!!
The easiest and most affordable way to book a Safari specially when living Thousand miles away. As a solo women traveling alone, the company was able to help me book and answer every single question that I had. They were always available for any questions and the service was acceptable. My tour guide has been working for 16 years and was very knowledgeable on every animal he saw. lodging was absolutely beautiful.. as far as food ( I wish they had more of a variety, but that's part of the adventure).... overall great company, reliable, punctual and will deliver exactly what they say. They took very good care of me from the moment they picked me up from the moment they took me to my next destination.

Trip of a Lifetime to Kenya
Excellent week long safari in Kenya. We absolutely loved our guide Steve. We did Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara. We enjoyed Amboseli and Masai Mara the most. I will say there is a lot of driving - some days we were in the car for 8 hours or so driving from one park to another. If you're able to fly from park to park, it may make the trip more enjoyable. We saw tons of wildlife including lions, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, cheetahs & cubs, elephants, birds, crocodiles, hippos, eland, & more. I highly recommend this trip of a lifetime.

Very Genuine & extermely informative guide / driver
Tekko Tours is a very genuine tour operators. They provided crystal clear trip itinerary & there were no discrepancies or hidden surprises which we experienced during our trip. Risper from Tekko Tour was absolutely a delight to work with & she provide immense amount of information enabling us to plan this wonderful trip. Our guide & driver Stephen has plethora of knowledge about the native flora & fauna , besides that he is a wonderful person at heart, true gentleman. He is a naturalist at heart & has tremendous knowledge about each tree & bird in region. We had a wonderful experience travelling with him & saw all the big fives during our trip to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Lake Navasa. They gave us a 4 x 4 Landcrusier which was slightly old & seats coukd have been better but worked well for us. Overall will rate it as 5 star as we had a fabulous experience thanks to Risper & Stephen from Tekko Tours.
