Professional, reliable and trust-worthy
We had one of the best trips of our lives when we visited Kenya and Masai Mara....thanks to Kichaka tours who took care of our entire visit there. We were promised so many things before we visited the place, and we were a bit skeptical about how things would finally turn out, but to our pleasant surprise, we were delivered much more than were promised. I would certainly recommend Kichaka tours to anyone who is new to the place and visiting for the first time.

Good Experience, Good people
Our Safari Vacation was great with Kichaka Tours. They arranged our travel in a most logical manner & we enjoyed our 8 days tour. There was personal attention & follow up from them & our driver / guide was just great!!! He knew each trail & where/when to visit for better experience.
We are thankful to them.

amboselli and masai mara 6 night safari
Kichaka Tours and travels. Excellent company. very personal, dedicated, courteous, friendly, helpful and accomodating. Bonnie the guide, is the BEST, In, 2 days we saw the big 5 over and over again. we were so close to a lion, [ any closer, we would have to give the lion a MINT for his bad breath]. Stephen, the tour operator, now a friend, is so personable. Would recommend Kichaka tours to get the BEST experience for safari in Kenya.

Experience about my visit to Nairobi with Kichaka Tours and Travel
One fine day I arrived in Nairobi & Mr. Stephen one of the representative of Kichaka Tours was there to receive me. Then he drove me to Nairobi city where I met Mr. John who was professional safari driver cum guide of our group. So Mr. John drove us to Masai mara what was about 6 hours jorney from Nairobi city. On the way we saw interesting sight seenings & by the time we arrived to Masai mara it was evening already. After checking-in in the camp we proceeded for safari was experiencing senset view of masai mara what was in amazing experience. Then next morning we went for game drive what was suppose to be whole day in the park, so everything went accordingly & we had so much of fun looking around animals, greenery, nice weather, rivers & mountains. After spending whole day in park we came back & had dinner at the camp. Next morning we checked out from camp & went for experiencing the sun rise in the park what was another beautiful experience. After experiencing sun rise we proceeded back to Nairobi city to our destinations. Over all it was a wonderful experience exploring Nairobi with Kichaka Tours & I will recommend them to who ever is traveling to Nairobi. Best regards!

Excellent experience. Very friendly and overly hospitable team members.
The safari tour was very well organized. The driver who accompanied us throughout the tour was very friendly and a very good human. From airport pickup to the drop back was very well taken care. The tour staff went extra mile in helping me fixing my shoe and delivering my packet which I by mistake forgot at one of the hotels.. Thank you kichaka, for making it an awesome, memorable trip. Continue with your excellent service.

Absolutely fantastic adventure guaranteed!
Great experience!
For nine days we traveled to different parks in Kenya in a private van for our three.
I recommend everything connected with Kichaka! From the great deal with the owner - Stephen, thanks to the great conditions throughout our stay on safari, very comfortable accommodation during your stay, ending up with a fantastic guide for those 9 days - Apollo.
Safari at Masai Mara was an unforgettable experience. Similarly in Amboseli and Tsavo East. We are very grateful that it was Apollo who accompanied us all this time. Fantastic man! With great knowledge, a great sense of humor and a very good driver, thanks to which we felt safe. Really fantastic friend!
Apollo and Stephen have made every effort to make our stay in Kenya a pleasant one. And so we will remember it.
17 days tour completed wonderfully without a hitch
Stephen met us a day before the tour was to start and even sent the vehicle and guide to meet us. Steve was our guide and drove us during our tour. Both of them were always available to address any queries we had. Steve was knowledgeable and accomodating whenever we wanted to stop somewhere. He was also good at spotting animals and birds. Since we were pure vegetarians, Stephen made sure we got good Indian veg food everywhere we went. All in all we had great fun and a successful tour.
Simply Excellent !
From the time we were picked up at the airport till we were dropped, it was an example "par excellence".
The tour was well organized. We saw the "BIG 5" animals and many more. The driver Woka was a kind man who went out of the way to make the tour more memorable. The hotel selection was good where we could rest well each day. All in all, we had a great wild life safari tour.

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!
