He has experience
The safari tour was ok. Except the roads are in very bad shape now, lots of bumps and dust.

Edward is my travel whisperer
Before working with Edward, I envisioned travel agents as simply booking flights and hotels based on a pre-set itinerary. During my Kenya trip, however, I encountered a situation where I needed proper documents. Edward's swift action in securing the necessary documents, and turned what could have been a disaster into a fantastic vacation. His calmness, expertise, and willingness to go the extra mile during a stressful moment truly made a difference. Edward is more than just a travel agent; he's someone who ensures his clients have a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.

Very accommodating and honest.
We had an amazing time with the help of Edward, who organized the itinerary. Our guides, Jon and Antony, were very good at spotting the animals and shared interesting facts about them. We did the 6-day safari and saw all sorts of animals. The 3 parks (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli) are so different so I recommend going to all of them.

Great hike to Mt Kenya with Tegu tours
The hike to Mt Kenya with Tegu tours was great. The representative, guide and porters were great persons, and very kind. Since our start in Nairobi to the mountains it was great. We started at Sirimon gate, and ended at Chongoria gate. The guide and porters look after me during the hike. The food was delicious and the guide's knowledge of the trails is excellent. The porters were quite knowledgeable as well. They help me to carry my stuff when it was needed. I totally recommend Tegu tours for your hiking trips to Mt Kenya.

Experience of a Lifetime
The safari was an incredible experience that everyone should do once in their lives. I highly reccomend a trip to both Masai Mara and Nakuru as it allows for the best opportunity to see all of the big 5. Additionally, 4 days was the perfect amount of time to see everything and not feel like we missed anything. We had great guides/ drivers throughout including at the Masai village. I rated 4 stars instead of 5 for the slightly unorganized logistics (we switched tour guides/drivers and vehicles 3 times) and lack of notice that there would be no outlets in our tents at the first accommodations (it made charging our phones, our only cameras for the trip, very difficult). Overall, we had an amazing time and I would reccommend everyone have this experience.

Unprofessional
My experience with Tegu Tours and Safari could be sum up as follows.
My girlfriend and I booked a tour with:
- afternoon game drive the first day: didn’t happen;
- a Jeep: there wasn’t, there was a van
- 2 full days in Mara, we spend half of the second stuck into a savana because of the van;
- in the morning of the second day we started at 9am safari and not a 7am;
- the second Mara day we were with a new first group and we did the same things of the first day, wasting our money and time;
- the second day at Mara they put us in danger because the driver didn’t call the ranger to rescue us and we were on the grass after the park was closed (illegal) and we got split up without knowing when we were going to see each other again (very worried) because we were in Africa and we had to rely on people who were not transparent at all;
- the second night we booked Lenchada Camp, we were forced to go to a different accomodation because our reserved tend was given to other clients;
- they weren’t able to switch us in a Jeep although there was availability;
- we were treated disrespectfully and unprofessionally by the staff of this company during all the vacation.
After 4 days with these disrespectful people we changed company and we kept going our trip perfectly, enjoying the beauty of this magic country.
Don’t compromise your holiday, don’t book with Tegu Tours.

Posted on Aug 26, 2024Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We deeply regret that your safari did not meet your expectations and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced.
We are sorry to hear about the issues with the afternoon game drive, the vehicle provided, and the delays in starting your safari. We understand how frustrating it must have been to spend part of your trip stuck in the savanna and to repeat activities on the second day. Additionally, we apologize for the safety concerns and the accommodation mix-up at Lenchada Camp.
On the issue of the 2nd full day at Maasai mara it is usually for tracking animals just like the other 1st full days.
Late pick up on the second is because of the distance in accommodations. Your accommodation was far away from others and that was the cause of the delay. Sorry for the late pick up.
We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your safari. Your satisfaction is important to us.
We strive to provide the best possible experience for our guests, and your feedback helps us improve.

Unreliable organization!
The worst company I ever dealt with in my life! My boyfriend and I decided to organize our safari tour across the Masai Mara, Nakuru/Naivasha and Amboseli with Tegu Tours and it was a total mess. We booked a group tour with a Land Cruiser, but in the exact moment we arrived at the office to finalize the payment we were informed that due to a strike our car was not available anymore… We were forced to go with a minivan which made our experience totally different! Most of the schedule and the accommodations were not respected (loosing also money of parks entrance fees without compensation of any kind) and we faced a dangerous situation being stuck with the van in the mud for 4 hrs at nighttime inside the park!
We went on a tour without being informed at least of the company name the drivers were working for and we felt treated disrespectfully and unprofessionally by the staff of this company during all the vacation.
For these reasons we at half of our journey we changed the organization, losing more money and having nothing paid back.
Avoid dealing with Tegu Tours and look for serious and reliable company, they are not trustworthy!

About the Jeep the situation what happened we had anti government protest whereby the group you supposed to join cancelled due do demos the only available group was using safari which you paid for. we apologize for the stuck in savanna and that will never happen and as never happened before. we went a had as a company and did a up grade of the hotel from budget to midrange at lake Nakuru also transport by jeep without any additional cost so that you can have better experience.
