Friendly and knowledgeable driver. Excellent communication.
We are very happy with our choice for our Nairobi National Park visit. Communication with thecomoany was excellent, the driver knowledgeable and friendly. Arrived early in the morning and we were the first to enter the park which was very good.

Very efficient and professional service
We travelled through Amboseli to Aberdare/sweetwaters to Naivasha and Masai Mara with excellent planning and prompt services from the tour operators. Jackie would answer our queries and concerns promptly and act on them. Our tour guide Sam was knowledgeable and had very good outgoing personality to match. The hotel selection was also very good. All in all a very good experience and I along with my group would all endorse them.

Trip of a Lifetime
The tour guides were great and knowledgeable about all the animals. Loved all our game drives! Kichaka Tours and Jackie made everything so easy and even were able to accommodate some last minute changes. I’d definitely use them again.

Operator, safari and guide: everything fantastic
Jacky from Kichaka Tours made her best to answer my wishes and expectations. It was a litle expensive for me, but in the end it was worthy.
The safari was a gratefull experience. Our guide was an experient and lovely person - Sam. He was very patient with us and make his best during all the safari time.
The acomodation was fantastic. "Voiwildelife lodge" and "Voyager Ziwani" are located near the parks, so we could see animals also on the lodge. The food was also good. I prefer the meals from "Voi lodge" because was buffet and they had also typical swailli food.
Another time i ll think about make a safari i ll do it with Kichaka tours and with Sam :)
Asante sana
aAmazing experience. Experient and lovely guide - Sam. Fantastic lodges

Perfect Safari in Kenya
We had an excellent journey in Kenya with Stephen (owner) and Elijah (guide and driver). Everything was just perfect and met or exceeded our expectations. The whole trip was organised by Stephen following our requests (not like with typical travel agencies where you have to buy a package in which nothing can be changed!!) Our driver was fun, flexible and had a great knowledge of all parks we visited (Massai Mara, Naivasha, Hells Gate, Amboseli, Tsavo East/West). Stephen remained available 24/7. Send an email and get an answer within few minutes! I challenge any major travel agency to do the same, especially on weekend!!!
Just perfect!
If you need any advice, ask Stephen for my contact.

Stephen Odongo with Kichaka Tours was an excellent tour operator and I would highly recommend him!
I began my research for taking a safari to Kenya in the Fall of 2017. After emailing several companies, I started corresponding with Stephen Odongo of Kichaka Tours and Travel Limited. He always was very quick in responding to my questions and he helped me design a trip that met our needs and that was within our budget. We made a few adjustments to our hotel needs and Stephen was very prompt on adjusting our schedule. We were two senior-age couples from the US. Our safari began on May 31, 2018 and lasted for 15 days. We were able to visit eight National Parks and saw 4 of the 5 Big Five animals! We did not see the leopard. Each day was well planned with drive time between parks not being too long and those days with game drives were a lot of fun. We loved seeing all of the animals that we did! We had medium priced hotels and we were pleasantly surprised with them. Our driver/guide’s name was Appolo and we just adored him and he became a friend over the two weeks he spent with us. He dropped us at Diani Reef Resort for our last few days in Kenya and we were on our own their without Appolo. The resort was directly on the Indian Ocean with a beautiful view of the swimming pool and the ocean. We flew from Mombasa to Nairobi on our last day and Appolo met us at the airport. It was so good to see him again, like seeing a long lost friend again. We spent the afternoon seeing Nairobi and ate dinner at the Carnivore Restaurant before heading off to the airport for our return flight home to the USA. The only thing that I suggested to Stephen in planning a trip for seniors was to offer the option to fly into the Masa Mara instead of taking the safari van there. If the driver/guide could meet you at the airport there it would save you a lot of bad roads getting there. The whole safari was wonderful and I would highly recommend anyone planning a trip to Kenya to go with Stephen Odongo of Kichaka Tours. You won’t be disappointed. Ask for Appolo a your guide too! Loved it!
