Really good, but too short
Accommodations, food, transportation was fine, compaired to the price. Your guide was really good, very friendly, and a good driver. I just wished I have had longer time out in Masai Mara, comparied to the time we spend driving there. We arrived at 3:30pm on the first day and left at 1pm the 3. day.
I did not see the rhino or leopard, and only one buffalo. But I saw the migration of the zebras and wild beasts, and came close to e.g. lions, giraffes, elephants, different gazelle species, hippos, cheetah, some birds and we visited the Masai village on the last day, for 1000KES.
The Scenic beauty was good, but the most was yellow. Weather was good, not to hot or cold, luckly, the chance for rain was 50/50, but it only rained for 2h when we where there.
In total: It was worth it, but I wish, that I have had more time out in Masai Mara.

A big thank you to John Muhoho
John Muhoho of CKC organised our eleven days family trip to Kenya. He really did a great job. Very professional, and always available for his customers. But most of all he's a great guy. From the first handshake at the Jomo Kenyatta Airport, you'll know it's gonna be an unforgettable experience. A big thank you to John Muhoho.

Excellent service, with the best tour guide.. A safari that exceeded our expectations!
CATS Africa Tours, is an excellent option to make a safari to Kenya. They adjust the perfect trip to your needs.
We visited the main safari destinations like: Amboseli (amazing!!), Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara, where we were lucky enough to see the big 5 and twice!!
Each destination is meant to be different than the other one, where you can experience different things, meet new people and see different animals. In every place there was a new animal that we hadn't seen.
I truly recommend going to a Masai Village, because you get to know a different culture, their costumes and their lifestyle.
The hotels where great, very clean, nice, good food, close to the parks, and with excellent attention.
The communication with the agency was very good, they cleared all of our doubts and responded immediately.
About our tour guide...he was the best, he did everything in his power to make the most of our trip.

Shady business practices and scam
John Williams and his partner in Tanzania, Dilunga, cannot guarantee itineraries that are booked. I booked and paid for my safari tour and ended up with a join in tour group that did not book the same tour I paid for. Only upon arrival to Kilamanjaro was I informed that my itinerary changed. Also, no one met me at the airport for the transfer. Total BS and scam.
Great Experience
I would definitely recommend CKC Travel. John was very helpful and always responded promptly to my emails when I was organizing the trip. They sent over all the booking details shortly after I made my last payment so I didn't have to worry about something going wrong with the trip. Our guide Kennedy was also very friendly and knowledgable. It really was a great way to see the country and wildlife there and would recommend them to anyone looking into it.

Amazing tour! Amazing staff!
Firstly, I'm super late leaving this review but my now fiancé and I used their services during our vacation last year in December and the service was amazing!! and prices were unbeatable!
We contacted over 20 safari companies and no one offered close to what they offered for the price. To top it off it's incredibly affordable and what you get is top notch. Danielle and her husband are amazing! This tour mixed both sightseeing and game driving on the safari and we found it to be the perfect mix. We saw 4 of the big 5 during our gaming drive, and everyone who was a part of their staff was great! can't recommend this company and the 4 day game drive/panoramic tour enough! Well worth the money!

Amazing experience with Safari Multiways!!!
The Safari Multiways experience was awesome!!! The manager of the Safari Multiways (Romeo) was very helpful before the booking. We sent many emails and asked so many questions and he always replied on time and tried to adapt his offer to what we wanted to do. We went on a three day safari in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire parks.The driver (Piuc) and the guide (Exaudence) acted very professional, with a lot of climate and wildlife knowledge, always spotting animals, and stopping the car to take photos. They were so nice and had so much fun together! The accomodation at the resort was very nice, clean and the food was very good.They also helped us a lot while we stayed in Arusha. I will go again and with Safari Multiways for sure. Overall amazing safari!! I strongly recommend it!

2 days gorillas trekking in bwindi forest, in rushaga sector and in nkuringo, harder than the first
our guide and driver Abdul was very friendly and very proficient
the translator Celestin was not at the top, not able to understand what whe mean and it was difficult to understand what he said
service ok (it was only the transfer)
gorillas have been reached easily in rushaga and also in nkuringo, but it was really more difficult in nkuringo due to the steep incline when we came back
no problem for the backpacks, there are porters, because a lot of water is necessary
no problem for disable person, there are stretchers
long sleeved shirts and long pants are essential because there are a lot of ants and flies and they bite

Michelle was incredible with us, everything went perfect!!! I really recommend her.
Went to the &Beyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp on the first week of October 2018 with Sun Safaris. Its was an AMAZING trip, the hotel was really nice 5 star!! and the guides and staff really make sure your having a really nice experience (I really recommend this hotel if your staying at the Masai Mara Reserve). Saw the big 5, witness a killing and have a really good trip.
Michelle our operator was really nice, she made sure everything went perfect and we had everything tailored made for us. The transfers and hotel (Eka hotel Nairobi) between Nairobi and the reserve were excelent and the people so nice. Even got to experience a VIP treatment at the elephant orphanage.
Sun Safaris is the best travel agency to visit Africa, I´ve also used Abercrombie & Kent and it was a lot more easier to do everything at Sun Safaris.

Honest and professional
We chose Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris for our upcoming Christmas & New Year trip because Mr.Otieno had always been very responsive to all my requests, even called us a few times with international calls to make sure we receive his emails and everything were arranged according to our needs. Their prices are the most reasonable and we saw good reviews both in Safaribookings and Tripadvisor. Unfortunately, we could not go on a safari with the company due to Mr. Otieno's car accident and the company needs to close temporary. I was a bit worry of what was going to happen to the money that i paid in full for my 13-days Safari plus Zanzibar for a group of 6 people. That is a lot of money that we had paid in full amount. Luckily, they have been treating us with honesty and professionalism. They sent an email with sincere apology to explain what was happen with the company and why the trip got cancelled. And they gave us FULL REFUND on Oct 4th to my visa card. And today my credit card company just called me to confirm that the refund was done and money is returning to my credit card successfully.
I am very appreciated their honestly. And very sorry to the unfortunate accident of Mr. Otieno. Wish him a full recovery soon. Also wish all employees all the best. I read from TripAdvisor that many people have loss their jobs because the company is closing down. Hope everything is going back to normal soon.
Now I need to search for a new tour operator but all companies that I contacted offer me at much higher price for the same itinerary. I and my friends will consider Kenya Walking Survivors Safari again if the company resume their business for our next Safari trip.
