Everything perfect!
We were stressed out to book our low budget safari after reading a lot of scams occuring on different company riviews, but our 3 nights 4 days safari booked with James Dilunga of Big 5 voyage was amasing! We find him with Arusha backpackers hostel. He explained really well the tour, the fees and the schedul, he answered well all of our numerous questions and everything was has he said. Not everybody in the truck had book with him, but our driver\guide Reggie and our chef Mr. D were great with everyone. They were professional and took really good care of us. Food was so good and guys were so nice. We saw the big 5 and so many animals, it was really an unforgetting adventure! Assante sana!

Amazing Safari
I and my wife experienced a memorable and amazing 5 days safari in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha and 2 days beach relaxation in Diani with Tekko Tour and Travel. I wrote to a few Kenyan safari tour operators for finding the best itinerary to fit our needs with reasonable price. We received some options from Maggie in Tekko Tour immediately after sending the first email. Maggie helped us to find the best itinerary and the best places for accommodation with replying to our many emails and questions. Always, her answers to our emails and questions were professional, comprehensive and prompt.
She welcomed us in the airport and helped us for changing money and buying sim card after talking about details of our itinerary in their office. At the end of our tour, she dropped off us to airport too. Thank you Maggie for every thing.
Our guide/driver during our safari was Steven. He is a polite, friendly and professional guide with good knowledge of animals and National Reserves. He drives very well and he did his best for a comfortable safari for us. We could see all Big Five and many other animals. Thank you Steven.
I hope, we could use services of Tekko Tour and Travel in our next safari in Kenya and Tanzania.

8 days Samburu - Lake Nakuru - Masai Mara - Lake Naivasha
We are a family of four including two children of 12 and 15 years. Planning the trip took a while as many companies offer safari tours. We decided to travel with KWSS due to excellent reviews here and on Tripadvisor and due to very fast and good communication with Mr. Otieno. KWSS also ended up with the best offer in the end, so it can be worth negotiating the price and accommodation styles. We ended up staying at Samburu game lodge, Lake Nakuru sopa lodge, Oserolodge and Naivasha kongoni lodge – all very excellent places to stay!
Our driver David picked us up in the airport and drove us to our good hotel in Nairobi (Mimosa court apartments). The next 4 days we had long drives in the van as the distance to Samburu and further to lake Nakuru and Masai Mara took longer than stated in the programme due to bad roads (plan 8 hours each way, not 5). However, you see a lot of Kenya on the way. We had great game drives in Samburu – a park very different from Masai Mara. Also good game around lake Nakuru (no flamingoes anymore though) and excellent game in Masai Mara. David was a very experienced and friendly guide, who could answer all questions we had.
We visited the Masai village and it was actually a great experience for us as a family. Yes – the sell stuff, but we don’t mind bringing home a souvenier and the money goes to the village. We payed entrance fee 20 $ per adult and 10 $ per child (after some negotiation). The walk in Hells gate was great also.
All in all 5 stars to KWSS! If you bring children younger than 12 I would consider doing less driving/fewer places to visit.

Cheated out of $3300
They took our money but never returned our phone calls or emails, and never picked us up or tried to contact us while we were in Tanzania.
We heard rumors of financial insolvency and bankruptcy, but were never able to verify that. Nonetheless, we know we never got to go on our tour...
That said, we ended up finding a great company and having a great time, so at least that worked out.

An awesome experience
Was really an awesome weekend in Murchinson Falls.
The group of people with who I spent this experience and the Natural Park was the perfect mix.
Unforgettable trip :)

Fantastic Vacation
“Fantastic vacation”
African Adventure Specialists is the best tour operator in East African for anyone interested in a african safari. We planned a trip at the last minute in the peak season and AAS pulled and amazing vacation for us! We wanted a custom 14 days kenya & tanzania holiday, staying in luxury hotels and lodges. We had a private tour with our own 4x4 landcruiser and a Driver for the entire trip and we saw the big five in both countries. Masai mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro were the climax of our safari. Because we had time, we were able to see most of the scenic areas that are stunningly beautiful in these countries. I definetely recommend African Adventure Specialists and the entire team lead by Andrew and Tobiko for a wonderful and affordable vacation. For anyone interested in visiting these countries kindly get in touch with AAS. Andrew is honest and will plan a vacation of a lifetime for you!

We did a 4 day safari with Wildebeest and their guide Dennis. Best experience ever
The communication with the manager was swift and relevant all the time. Our guide Dennis managed to track down more animals than we ever thought was possible. When i had a tooth issue, a plane, dentist appointment was arranged and executed within Hours. I can strongly recommend Wildebeest.
