Expert Guiding Experience With Knowledgeable and Lovely Guide
I engaged Ale and Wandering Thru as a private guide in Botswana. Ale made lovely suggestions for where we could go so that I would have a wide ranging experience of destinations in Botswana. I had been on a number of safari's in Kenya previously and was looking for something new. I also needed something within my budget. The three camps we stayed at (for 3 nights each) were just perfect. Yes, the first one was a little rustic but this had been explained to me prior and I had agreed. All communication was excellent and fully explained. I was given many options and Ale made sure I did understand the destinations and accommodations (we stayed in tented camps at my request). Ale had to reschedule one of my intraAfrica flights because the airline canceled it without notifying us and was quick to take care of the unexpected changed. I also had airline issues enroute from Kenya to Botswana and again Ale was right on top of helping me make necessary changes quickly. During our time together I thoroughly enjoyed her knowledge, humor and simply lovely personality. She was always very professional with the camp guides who ended up asking her questions. I could not recommend her and Wandering Thru more and hope to travel with them again next year.

Enjoyable Safari
Joseph was very helpful with setting up all the requirements for a quick safari trip. Details were provided near to the trip but this is because they use last minute flights and accommodation deals and this was no problem for us.
The actual safari was really good and we saw lots of amazing animals and had some great food at the Jimbiza camp. My only criticism would be that there was a bit too much waiting around on the first day instead of planned activities. We were just around the camp from 10am - 4pm. Other than that it was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

We had a fantastic driver/tour guide. He was extremely knowledgable and became a good friend.
The experience was great. Our tour guide John Wanjau was extremely knowledgabe and very concerned about my wife and myself having a joyful experience. John does an excellent tour. I would highly recommend him as a guide. The only negative we experienced during our 9 day safari was the tent camp where we stayed in Amboseli could have been better.

The perfect safari
Finally we went to Tanzania for safari. We had good communication about where to stay, what to see , they helped us a lot so I couldn't go wrong.
We went to the National Parks Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire. First day Tarangire what an amazing park with many elefants, whole families we saw also zebra's, buffalo's, giraffes and even lions we saw. Thanks to our guide Elemes, who saw everywhere animals and told us so many nice and interesting stories about the animals and nature. End of the day we camped, what an great experience. Not scarry as I thought but with good gardes at night not scarry but so good to hear the noises). Isaac made perfect dinner with lovely local food, what is amazing in such a small kitchen.
Day 2 and 3 we went to Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti, what an overwhelming nature this is. Lucky we had that Elemes saw even rhino's and other beautiful places.. everywhere you looked it was gorgeous. Sleeping in tents is a real adventure and one you have to do in your life.
They told us we won't be disappointed and that's true! It was a perfect safari if you compare price and comfort. They helped us before and on safari it was all real good organised. Hopefully we come back one day to visit other parks. Thanks for this amazing safari. Asante sana

Professional Tour Company
When we decided to book a 14 day trip to Kenya we did a lot of research and had a good idea about what we wanted to see and where to stay. We were very fortunate to make contact with Maggie Kariuki at Tekko Tours and we were very impressed from day one. Maggie was very prompt in her communication and we thought she added extra value to our ideas and gave us other options to consider. Maggie was always very professional and patient whilst we were finalising our plans. Making payments from the UK to Tekko Tours Bank in Nairobi was very straightforward and secure. Upon arrival in Nairobi at 5am Maggie was at the airport to greet us along with Stephen who was to be our guide and driver for the duration if our trip. We spent our first day in and around Nairobi, firstly with Maggie on a walking tour in the city and then later in the day Stephen drove us further afield. After a night in the Crowne Plaza, Upper Hill, which was a very good overnight stay, Stephen picked us up early the next morning to begin our Safari experience which included 8 different parks. Our vehicle was a Land Cruiser and was perfect for us, we did experience a few problems which affected the speed we were able to travel and probably caused a few small delays in arriving at our destinations, a minor point however as Stephen always rectified the problems and to be honest these vehicles work very hard in the conditions so it's no surprise if issues arise. Stephen is a very professional and safe driver which is the most important aspect of travelling such long distances.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Tekko Tours and would most definitely use their services again. Thank you.

We experienced an interesting program, saw a wide range of wild animals and beautiful landscapes.
Communication with the tour guide (= the company owner) was excellent, he knew a lot and explained it to us, and he made us aware of animals and plants which we would not have noticed. The service was - according to the tour character of a tented tour- very good, the expectations were more than fulfilled.
