Experience of a lifetime!
I am beyond pleased with my experience with Tekko. Risper and her team were highly accommodating and wonderful to work with in the planning stages.
We had the time of our lives on our four day safari in Massai Mara, and stayed at the Mara Serena. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Our guide James was incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond. I was shocked with how much wildlife we saw in such a short amount of time!
Tekko offers a very reasonable rate for their tours compared to others, and I would absolutely recommend.

Highly recommended, very good service and organization with attention to detail and customer friendl
I warmly recommend Tekko Tours & Travel to anyone who plans on having a customized and amazing Safari with various experiences.
Our agent, Carol, was very responsive and planned the trip to the last detail so that we didn’t have to worry about anything during the trip. She was available at all times and answered our questions immediately. The chosen accommodations and lodges were of high quality and offered a perfect service which made our Safari unforgettable. All lodges were located in a very good spot so that you could start the Safari right away and enjoy the wildlife while being in the area of the lodges. The chosen route for the Safari was a good mixture of different National parks with different landscapes and the option to see all of the big five and more. Especially our stay at the Sand at Chale Island was a perfect finish for our trip because we could relax on a separate island with an amazing view on the sea and very exclusive beach to the hotel.
Our driver, William, was very experienced and friendly. He made our stay very comfortable and always made sure we get the most out of all visited parks during the game drives. Not only was he very service-oriented and fun, but he also had great knowledge about the wildlife and backgrounds of the different areas we visited and explained us everything we wanted to know in detail. Due to him we caught many animals for a perfect picture and saw even rare animals.
We would like to thank Tekko Tours & Travel again for making our Safari experience so enjoyable and can only recommend it to everyone who plans on having the full Safari experience at best quality.

Great people and organisation.
I went on a solo trip for a week in Kenya in November 2022. Tekko and its staff, Risper, Ken and William have been extremely professional, helpful and organized. Pricing was very competitive, especially being solo, all was perfectly organized and went smoothly. Ken, my driver for a week has been great, even when we had expected challenges such as car break down or road delays. I had the whole car for myself so obviously it was very comfortable and the games were an absolute joy. Lovely people, trustable and super easy to deal with. Thanks for making me feel safe and in great hands for my all trip.

Responsive, creative, helpful!
TekkoTours proposed an excellent, multi-stop safari over ten days. The driver they provided was superb, skillful and attentive to our needs. The lodging was very good and our overall experience superior. I do recommend TekkoTours!

Responsive & dependable
Risper, our customer service manager, was very flexible and responsive in accommodating a last minute change of dates, which we very much appreciated. William, our tour guide, was an extremely gentle, patient and punctual individual whose company we cherished. He was knowledgeable about the fauna and flora in both of our destinations (Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru) and we learned a lot from his insights. Our experience would not have been the same without him. He showed a genuine desire to make our trip as pleasant and fulfilling as possible by going out of his way to make sure we saw all big 5 animals.
Highly recommended.

Responsive, friendly and efficient tour operator, always ready to please with fantastic staff
We specifically wanted to use a Kenyan tour operator to organise our trip, so that our tourist spend would remain in the country.
Right from the start, Tekko proved themselves to be up to the job. We specified our tour requirements, and Carol worked hard to plan the trip we wanted, using her extensive knowledge of the game reserves and lodges/camp/hotels available.
After several iterations, which Carol provided, we landed our trip - which included 6 game reserves and 4 days on the coast in 16 days, including our own driver and Land Cruiser.
Our driver, Kennedy, was a fantastic asset to our trip - friendly, knowledgeable, lots of initiative and problem solving, very understanding of our needs. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Even when our Land Cruiser had a technical problem (unsurprising given the mileage we covered and the quality of the roads), he resolved this without fuss and minimum inconvenience. He also had a good nose for the game, finding us the more tricky of the animals we were were hoping to see - leopard, cheetah, secretary bird, dwarf mongoose, etc.
Our trip exceeded our expectations, and Tekko were very instrumental in making that happen. I would thoroughly recommend using their services.

Greatest value tour, perfect service
Highly recommended. Very friendly , fast and efficient communication. Adapted the tour to all our needs. Very good lodges, Ilkeliani lodge in Mara far beyond expectations. The driver Kennedy was so nice, knowledgeable and did everything to make this tour special. Unlike other drivers he tried to get off the standard path as much as he could as he completely understood what we are looking for and what the needs of serious photographers are. He did much more than the necessary and we couldn’t have wished for more. The trip Nairobi-Mara-Nakuru-Nairobi (3 nights) was well conceived and balanced. All in all a perfect trip. Mara and Lake Nakuru is a fantastic combo and Tekko Tours is a clear recommendation.
