Magnificent tour in Ol Pejeta & superb service!
After looking at various options on this site, we opted to ask for a quote from Kichaka Tours & travel for a 3 day/2 night safari in Ol Pejeta. From first contact and through all communications, Wilson from Kichaka has been super swift & supportive, being our contact throughout the planning process, payment, and until after the safari was completed. He also came to greet us when our guide for the tour, Victor, picked us up at the hotel in Nairobi. Which brings us to the main event, the safari tour. Victor was an amazing, experienced guide who really made an extra effort to ensure we had some extraordinary sightings. On the different drives he communicated well with other guides & park rangers along the way. We saw lions, elephants, rhinos, girafffes, zebras, buffalo, impalas, antelopes, gazelles, water bucks and theough extraordinary effort a cheetah too! On top of this, he knows a lot about all the birds too, He was a steady, safe & realiable driver on the roads between Nairobi & Ol Pejeta. We give our highest recommendations to Kichaka Tours, Wilson & Victor!

Kenyan Hospitality & Safari Memories for a Lifetime
Returning to the Kenyan Safari after forty years was as spectacular as my earliest memories. From the planning phase with Mariel from Kichaka Tours to the game drives with our knowledgeable friendly Maasai guide Christopher and the superlative Sopa Lodge accommodation/buffet/barbeques & hospitality at Nakuru... everything was faultless, waking up every morning to a new adventure. The game drives were exhilarating, we spent the entirety perched up taking in the scenery (bountiful numbers of Rothchild giraffes, white rhinos, water buffalo, gazelle, pelicans, flamingos). One of the many highlights of the trip was the walk by the lake to admire the bird life close-up. I'm truly grateful to Mariel and Christopher for making this trip memorable, and will definitely be returning.

Honest approach
Unfortunately, due the last minute flight cancelation we were not able to visit Nairobi and attend our Safari tour. However, I would like to express my gratitude towards Kichaka Tours since they were very welcoming with our situation and fully refunded already paid price for the tour!
Such behaviour is rare this days and in case we have a chance to visit Nairobi again, we will definitely use their services and go for Safari tour with them.
Thank you!

Simply beautiful
We spend two beautiful days with our driver Victor! Unforgettable days we went to lake Nakuru for a game drive and stayed at the hotel lake elementaita. Where should I start? The safari? The views, the flamingos? The super nice staff who took us for a walk to the lake. It was everything so well organized and we got so many informations about Kenya and their culture. It was exceptional 2 days. Thanks to Wilson who was so flexible and tried to get us the best offer possible and respected our wishes. I highly recommend booking with kichaka tours and travel!

Very Reliable Company
We booked a 3 day trip to Amboseli. This company were excellent at communicating and very punctual. Kibo Lodge was lovely with superb views of Kilimanjaro. The drive down the Mombasa Road is quite an experience but John was a mature and careful driver. The game drives were good but after heavy rains Amboseli was like a swamp so the cats were elusive but saw a cheetah. The elephants were amazing!!

Remarkable experience
This was the second time I travelled with Kichaka Tours and Travel, and I only have positive things to say.
The trip was very well planned and everything went well. The drive from Nairobi to Amboseli was fantastic, as was the game drive in Amboseli National Park and in Tsavo East. The lodges where we stayed in were very good, and our guide did his best to show us the best the parks have to offer.
We were dropped off in Diani Beach. Back to Nairobi, we went to the Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre and again, with Kichaka Tours.
I was very pleased to see Elisha again, who had been my guide to the Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre, as well as the Nairobi National Park the year before.
This company is excellent at communicating - thank you Stephen for your friendliness - and very reliable.
I highly recommend booking with Kichaka Tours and Travel, and for sure it will be my choice next time I go to Kenya. So, if you are planning to go for a safari in Kenya don't bother to much in choosing a company, just book your trip with Kichaka.

Reliable, efficient and trustworthy
Very impressed with this outfit who responded promptly to my initial enquiries and followed on from there answering all my questions and showing great flexibility in putting an itinerary together to get the most out of our planned seven days safari.
Our contact Wilson, met us at the airport when we arrived in Kenya and again when we returned to Nairobi seven days later. He was friendly, polite and set us on our way. Our driver and guide Victor was outstanding. Laid back, knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with, he really helped us get the most out of our trip. We crammed a lot in the seven days - Amboseli, Nakuru, Navaisha and the Masaai Mara of course.
The accommodation that we stayed in was excellent and the food was really good as well. Compared to several other travel agents I obtained quotes from, the trip was really good value for money.
I can definitely recommend Kichaka Tours and Travel
