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!!

Awesome
It was a great life experience. The trip was perfectly planned and scheduled, the operator provided help with all additional issues needed for a trip including assisting with visa application and meeting in the airport.

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

Very precise and communicative even on weekends.
We had a great experience with Kichaka tours. Wilson from the team, wrote us within a couple of hours even on weekends. At our arrival he was there with our tour guide which was a pleasant surprise. Our guide Timann was very reliable and punctual. He was always ready & waiting for us even when we had set very early departures. He did all he could do by calling and radio communication with other tour guides to show us the big five and many more animals.

Fabulous!
We had an accelent trip thanks to kichaka tours!
We were very happy we selected kichaka tours, from the beginning the communication and organisation was very professional. The pick up from the hotel and the hole trip was perfectly planned and went without any problems.
One of our chosen lodges had some water leak problems the day we wanted to check in and couldn't offer our room as planned, Mariel from kichaka called us during our drive to the lodge, told us about the inconvience and allready had found an other lovely lodge for us, very nearby the originial one, so we drove there straight without any hassle - such a great service!
Also thanks to our guide Charles we were able to spot all the animals we wanted to spot - including the big five of course! He really is a great guide, who had a lot of experience and expertise. Unlike other guides that were just following the crowd, he was able to track the animals all by himself, read their drivings and notice little changes in the behaviour of the wild animals, so he figured out there were some carnivores nearby. Through this we mostly were the first spotting the animals and had the best view, directly front row! Thank you Charles for making this experience as unforgettable as it was!

Excellent organization, flawless program, easy communication and great people!
We had our 23 days safari through Kenya and Tanzania - ending with a week on beautiful Mafia island - fully organized by Kickaka. Prior to our trip we shared our wishes and Wilson came up with a custom made program which we optimized together. Communication was very easy and Kickaka staff was very responsive. From day 1 in Nairobi everything was organized flawless. We had great drivers - Morris and Charles in Kenya and Ally in Tanzania who were all very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and taking good care of us. On the background they were in contact with Kickaka, so we didn't have any worries. We enjoyed the cities, villages, culture, people and of course the wildlife to the maximum - seeing all animals in great quantities (hint: safari in Kenya is more spectacular than Tanzania 😀). I involved Wilson and Charles in a complot to propose my girlfriend after a hot air balloon safari, which was managed very well by the two guys 😉. Our final week we enjoyed on Mafia island, which is truly an undiscovered paradise. Safari is quite expensive - though there are many options to make it cheaper or more luxurious. We only can rate Kickaka with five stars - as it was just perfectly organized.

Thanks to our tour operator we had a wonderful trip with memories to last a lifetime 🦓🇰🇪🦏🦁🦒🦛
Our driver was very knowledgeable about the animals: where they were located, and why they behaved they way they did and patiently answered our numerous questions. He took care of all the behind the scenes things ensuring that all we really had to do was show up!

First word i learned from them.... Its way of greeting the local peoples.........
As i mentioned above, It was an such memorable experience.... for a adventurous freak like me...... guys just try to visit Masai Mara at-least once. We had a chance encounter all the big 5's (Lion, Cheetah, Leopard etc..) almost 5 to 10 feet closer. We had intervened in their routine life. Just missed to see the Hunting Scenes of the Big 5's. Even we had a glimpse of Lion Mating....... wow its so live.........
We had a opportunity to mingle with other persons & we earned three Japanese Friends, Australian & US friends. Hope we will meet again........
