We got all we were promised and even a bit more!
We came to Arusha for organizing safari and climbing Kilimanjaro. Mr. Robert organized both tours for us. We got individual tours for a very good price. We explained what we wanted (schedule, places etc.) and all was done as we wanted. We had great time, super guides, tasty food, we saw many animals, we were on the top of Kilimanjaro, we are really happy that booked these tours in Oltumure Tours & Safaris. We did not have to pay any more than it was discussed. And we even got some things for free (taxi to/ from the centre of Arusha -- many times + upgrade of our accomadation). Mr. Robert is a person you can trust. Highly recommended!

If I went again, I'd use a different guide company.
The scenery was nice and we saw a few animals but overall the trip was less enjoyable than I would have liked. Kibale Tours didn't do a great job with planning. They used a car that wasn't advertised and that was really uncomfortable. We had to stop numerous times when we were in a rush to do various things that should have been done beforehand. On the trip home, the guide put the wrong type of gas in the car and we had to wait for 3 hours on the side of the road while the tank was drained and the battery changed.

Safari in Masai Mara and Nakuru
We are a family of four, with two grown-up children who went on safari - three days in Masai Mara and one day in Nakuru. The experience was great and we would like to highlight the following:
We chose Tekko Tours & Travel as our agent for the stay due to their excellent service when designing the trip. A big thank you to Maggie for always following up on our queries and responding quickly on all matters. The service during our trip was also excellent. We were met at the airport and all practicalities with hotels, lodges and transportation were arranged "invisibly" with no unneccessary waiting time all the way until we headed back home.
The safari driver and guide, Stephen, was very friendly and kind and drove us comfortably and safely to interesting watching spots for the animals. He also had very good knowledge of the area and the animals we saw.
We chose a Toyota Land Cruiser for the game drives and recommend this type of car due to its ability to get through "everywhere".
For our part, four days was fine, as we were able to watch both "Big five" and the other animals we were hoping to see during these days. Both the wildlife and scenery were experiences for lifetime due to the natural beauty and the "authenticity" of the experience - very different from visiting a zoo.
We decided to limit ourselves to Masai Mara and Nakuru. If you decide to include more areas on the same trip, we suggest to carefully consider time balance between game drives and mere transportation.
Overall, we can highly recommend Tekko Tours & Travel as your partner in designing and arranging your Kenya/Safari vacation and if you have the chance, we definitely recommend including game drives and safari on your Bucket list!

Wonderful trip!
We really enjoied our self drive trip in Namibia. We had a very diversified route. Wildlife with a lot of animals, mountains, ocean and desert. Food in Namibia is absolutely delicious and you don‘t have to worry about hygiene at all. We experienced Namibia as a very safe country where you can walk through towns after sunset as well. Even the restrooms at the fuel stations were very clean which was quite a surprise for me. The roads are in a very good condition - even better than in Southern Europe!! We wouldn’t book a gps for a furure trip, it’s not necessary at all. We stayed in beatiful lodges with incredible friendly and helpful staff.

Wonderful experience
We are so fortunate to choose KETS as our tour operator for our first Safari Trip. As a group of five from Hong Kong, we have limited knowledge regarding the continent. The 7 days and 6 nights Safari Trip is well-planned and well-organized. Every details are taken care well. The itinerary is good and we have seen all the things we want. The driver and guide is very professional. He takes very good care of us and drives safely for the whole journey. With his sense of humor, he instills a lot of fun and laughter along the journey. Our guide, Lucky, has profound knowledge in the safari and can help to locate the animals we love to see.
We all enjoy an unforgettable Safari Trip! KETS is highlyrecommended!

Stunning wildlife and scenery
Amazing trip - in 7 days we did Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Hell's Gate and Ambolseli - each park offered different animals and foliage. Trip was the perfect length for what we wanted to cover.

Our Last and Best Safari
Over the years we have been on 13 safaris with Brian and his Ecological Wilderness Adventures team. Age and health issues are keeping us at home, but if we could make another safari it would be with Brian. We have been on numerous other safaris in eastern and southern Africa, however, Tanzania and Brian are by far the best experiences. The guide's knowledge of the area, the animals, the birds and the people is outstanding. The flexible routes, accommodations and areas of emphasis for our interests always made the planning a success. The equipment used on the safaris, the campsites and the meals were always excellent. Go on safari with Ecological Wilderness Adventures for a wonderful experience and a great adventure!
