Amazing
What an excellent experience! We've just returned from the 7 day tour around Kenya (Samburu, Mara, Lakes). Australken did a great job at facilitating the experience. Our driver / guide was wonderful, and we were provided with delicious and plentiful food throughout the week. We saw every animal we ever dreamt of seeing enjoyed the variety of activities (not just safari drives 24/7). The journeys between parks were long and tiring, but I have no doubt that it was 100% worth it.

Kenya, beautiful way to see
We spend our holidays during June in Kenya and looked forward to see the most beautiful locations there, on our wish list was Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli.
After looking for a local travel agency we found Australken Tours and Travel Ltd from Nairobi.
We like to use a local company to support the country.
We just have to say a big thank you Australken, our 10 days in Kenya are unforgettable.
Not just that we have seen all three locations in very plenty way, we been supported in an absolut perfect way! Very professional and absolut trustworthily.
I am sure we are comming back to Africa and without any doud, Austraklen will be our travel aganet again.
All the best Australken and we hope to be back soon.

Australken is an amazing company offering a great personal service
We chose Australken over other tour companies, as Zippy was super efficient with arranging our safari trip, she was responsive, professional and helpful at all times.
Our safari driver Symon was extremely knowledgable and went above and beyond to ensure that we had an amazing adventure. He was polite and curteous and kept the vehichle clean & tidy. His English was extremely good and very articulate.
His knowledge of the animals and birds was outstanding, and his love for his job shone through.
The trip was excellent value for money, we stayed in 4 of the 5 Sopa Lodges in Kenya and all were excellent and highly recommended.
We travelled to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara
Overall a fabulous tour operator offering more than a personal touch. Highly recommended.

Best Tour Operator
We have just finished our safari in East Africa a family of with 3 young children including an infant and we have been humbled by the professionalism of Zippy who was pronto in replying the emails and making sure that she picked the properties that were child friendly and she was spot on. We requested for a flying safari as we were worried of the kids and the long drives but it was very nice as we didn't have to endure the long road. The guides were brilliant in every park that we visited and we were so grateful to receive some souvenirs from Zippy on our last day. It was the best holiday that we have had in a long time.

Brilliant service
We have just returned from a weeks stay in Mombasa which we had booked through a local company from the UK. A friend of mine introduced us to Australken as they go to Kenya annually and they have always booked through them. We called Zippy before we left as we needed to fly for 2 nights in Mara. She booked us at Osero Camp a modern upmarket camp that was brilliant, it was my husbands 60th so the camp gave us a free bottle of bubbly. We were so delighted with the experience in Masai Mara we will be back for the migration. God bless Africa.

Outstanding in all ways
We did Astralken's 18 day budget safari for two people. The wide range of locations from the North to the Tanzania border allowed us to experience a broader range of Eco systems, animals, cultures and topography. It included less visited locations while still visiting the more famous parks. Did you know that there are zebras and giraffes in the north with different markings than those in other parts of Kenya? We visited Riff lakes, waterfalls, rivers with hippos and crocodiles, watched hippos coming on shore after dark to eat, from our veranda and saw an incredible range of animals. A high point was visiting a group of nomads in the North who build no shelters and speak no Swahili.
What really made this trip so fantastic were the Australken people.

Zippy managed all communication before and during the trip responding quickly and following up almost daily asking for our feedback. Of course she set the fantastic itinerary with unique places and experiences that made the trip. She met us at the airport when we arrived and took us to the airport when we left.
Moses was our guide and driver. He was a calm and very safe driver in a land of dangerous drivers and roads! He was an uncanny wildlife spotter with full knowledge of the local habitats and animals in each of the diverse areas we visited. He enjoyed every day of the trip, always up.
John was our cook providing good meals. He was always upbeat, quick to laugh (even at my jokes) and added to our trip in so many ways.
Moses and John made this a very happy experience, beyond just a standard game drive. We were all sad when they dropped us at the hotel at the end of the trip.
We can't imagine having a better safari than we experienced with Zippy and Australken!
PS: WE are in our upper 70s and had no problems, you can do it too!

The best! Organization, driver, stays, cars, animals, food, schedule - all perfect!
Our safary with Australkin was fantastic!
Zippy takes care of everything, pays attention to every small detail. Easy friendly communication (feels that she is online 24/7, responding in 1-2 minutes any time).
Wonderful choice of places to stay, great driver (finding the right spot, the right time, with some stories about animals), almost new reliable toyota 4x4, intense and interesting schedule for every day. Not a single issue to complaint about.
That was the best organization of the trip I've ever met (I've been in 60 countries, some of them visited many times - so I have experience to compare).
Thanks Zippy for unforgettable experience!
