Outstanding safari delivers more than expected service.
From first contact to seeing me off at the airport 2 weeks after my tour ended, Zippy, Evans, John and Robinson looked after my every need. Zippy called daily to the crew to find out how I was and spoke to me directly on occasion to ensure that I was happy and comfy. No breakdowns, no accidents, everything went smoothly and the itinerary was well planned and followed. John provided great meals, and we even shopped together which I enjoyed. The vehicle even has wi-fi! Evans is an expert guide and is very passionate about his vocation. We had 9 days of unforgettable game viewing and site seeing. I was so happy with Australken that I hired a driver for 2 days of touring around Nairobi at the end of my stay in Kenya. Not only did I have Robinson to drive but John came as well and we had a great time together. I have been on several safaris prior and rate this one as the best one thus far and highly recommend Australken.

Fantastic Flamingo Experience in Bogoria
I have just returned from Kenya and I had a real good experience, my goal was the flamingos and Zippy advised me to do Bogoria instead of Nakuru and for sure they were in Millions. I also had a nice safari in Solio as it was not in the usual circuit. Th whole experience was brilliant.
Thank you Zippy, Symo and the team.

Best Of Kenya and Tanzania Safari !!
We booked for 10 days East Africa safari through Australken and we were so delighted by the level of service from when we arrived in Kenya to our transfer to the Tanzanian border to do Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We enjoyed our Guides and the accommodation choice. We will come back next year to do Rwanda with them.

Magnificent safari with Australken
We are really enjoyed traveling with Australken. In this travel agency employs responsive and competent people who will make your holiday comfortable and enjoyable. I applied to their services several times during my visits to Kenya.
I highly recommend it to everyone!

Best Experience !!!
We booked our honeymoon through Australken we did a safari and a beach holiday in Mombasa. We have nothing but praise for Zippy and her team for the effort she put in as we kept on changing our safari dates.
Our guide Symon was the best, so educative about the wildlife and the entire country. Our highlight was in Masai Mara at Osero Camp as we got a good honeymoon suite and a complimentary bush diner . We definitely recommend this company and if we return we will use them again.
It was an unforgettable experience!
The organisation is well run with well informed and interesting guides. Their choice of venues for our tour was excellent, enabling customers to see a wide variety of wildlife in different settings. Accommodation and food were wonderful wherever we stopped off. I would thoroughly recommend the company to anyone.

Third time lucky on Kilimanjaro climb
We joined a group of 6 to climb Mt Kilimanjaro and we had been twice before with different companies but we never reached the top because altitude sickness. The safari was well organised and our friends had been recommended Daniel as a guide so we had requested for him and little did we know that he was going to be our Hero. We did Machame route and my wife and I knew that we will not make it to the the top but Daniel kept us occupied with stories that he has not taken anyone to Kilimanjaro and not made it to the top. Last day of trek was difficult we were both struggling and didn't know how far we had left and Daniel carried my wife first to the peak he came down running and to my surprise I am embarrassed to say that I also got a piggy back to the top we took a photo and quickly he took us back on the same order. We were so thrilled at his effort, he is so energetic and we cannot thank him enough. He made our dream come true.

Best 60th Birthday!!!
My husband booked the safari online through Australken and told them that it was a surprise so I didn't know about it and when we arrived Kenya we had our first stop at Intercontinental hotel which was very nice.
We moved on to Lake Nakuru which was so nice to see the Rhino and the pink flamingos which were not many as expected the highlight of safari was in Masai Mara as Zippy had recommended the hot air balloon ride which was amazing also our accommodation in Masai Mara, Osero lodge as it was a small cosy place. We felt very at home there for 3 nights. Our driver Evans could not have done more for us, he was informative both about the wildlife and the cultural aspect.
If we manage to return to Kenya again we will definitely use the same company.

Without a doubt the very best holiday my family and I have ever been on.
My family and I travelled with Australken Tours and Travel in April 2007 and to this date and with plenty more holidays under out belt it has been the best holiday we have ever taken. The personal service given to us was second to none. We were met by Zippy at the airport, her brother Simon was our safari driver, the family element to the business made the whole experience far more personal for us. We travelled with our daughter who was 3 at the time with some reservations, we need not have worried she was treated like a princess and loved every minute of it! Each accommodation we stayed in was first class from the Masi Mara to Mombassa. Simon was an excellent and most informative safari guide. The holiday exceeded our expectations and more, I can't recommend this company enough. Thank you!

All wishes fulfilled
Under Kenyan proprietorship, this outfit seems to have contacts everywhere. We had a triple centred safari and from the beginning Ms Zippy Mugweru tailored the itinerary to our wishes, no matter how great the distances involved.
We bought a private safari, with driver/guide and felt absolutely secure whether travelling on major trunk routes or on pitted trails within the reserves. Spotting potholes or leopard or lilac breasted roller with equal aplomb, our driver was simply brilliant.
This company represented real value for money and also offers payment facilities in pounds sterling, US dollars or euros, which allowed significant savings on currency exchange commission.
