Stephen Odongo with Kichaka Tours was an excellent tour operator and I would highly recommend him!
I began my research for taking a safari to Kenya in the Fall of 2017. After emailing several companies, I started corresponding with Stephen Odongo of Kichaka Tours and Travel Limited. He always was very quick in responding to my questions and he helped me design a trip that met our needs and that was within our budget. We made a few adjustments to our hotel needs and Stephen was very prompt on adjusting our schedule. We were two senior-age couples from the US. Our safari began on May 31, 2018 and lasted for 15 days. We were able to visit eight National Parks and saw 4 of the 5 Big Five animals! We did not see the leopard. Each day was well planned with drive time between parks not being too long and those days with game drives were a lot of fun. We loved seeing all of the animals that we did! We had medium priced hotels and we were pleasantly surprised with them. Our driver/guide’s name was Appolo and we just adored him and he became a friend over the two weeks he spent with us. He dropped us at Diani Reef Resort for our last few days in Kenya and we were on our own their without Appolo. The resort was directly on the Indian Ocean with a beautiful view of the swimming pool and the ocean. We flew from Mombasa to Nairobi on our last day and Appolo met us at the airport. It was so good to see him again, like seeing a long lost friend again. We spent the afternoon seeing Nairobi and ate dinner at the Carnivore Restaurant before heading off to the airport for our return flight home to the USA. The only thing that I suggested to Stephen in planning a trip for seniors was to offer the option to fly into the Masa Mara instead of taking the safari van there. If the driver/guide could meet you at the airport there it would save you a lot of bad roads getting there. The whole safari was wonderful and I would highly recommend anyone planning a trip to Kenya to go with Stephen Odongo of Kichaka Tours. You won’t be disappointed. Ask for Appolo a your guide too! Loved it!

Absolutely Brilliant Safari Experience
Kaiser took us on a 4 day Safari through Moremi Game, Khwai, Savuti to Kasane in September-2015. As we had preferred to do a self drive, Kaiser was asked to help with planning the route, campsite bookings and be our guide on the trip. He did more than just planning and organising the trip, he made sure he took us to all the possible spots to get maximum game sighting and as a result we were able to spot 33 Lions, 6 Leopards, Cheetahs, Wild dogs and many other animals during the trip. Kaiser knows the whole area by the back of his hand and has commendable knowledge of the Flora and fauna of the area... We would highly recommend his services as a guide and tour operator.

Great tour company
We did this tour late July and the tour company was very good. They picked us up at our accommodation and dropped us back. Thabo was a great guide who was with us the whole time. He cooked lovely warm meals for us to eat. Would definitely recommend this 3day camping tour to Pilanesberg National Park.

Very well catered trip, very high service level always with a personal touch.
The safari was great, our guide was an expert on local wildlife so we didn't miss a thing
The big five, abundant birdlife, and the best views on stunning Serengeti sceneries. Could not have asked for more natural beauty.
Accomodations were of a very high level, very clean rooms and friendly people welcoming us.
Entertainment, generally a high service level and great food against the backdrop of Tanzania's most beautiful National Park. What more can one ask for?
Communication with the office was very straightforward and we've been helped very professionally with all our questions.
And plenty of care for our little one on top of that, no request was too much.
Very personal contact, we definately felt like VIPS and will definately be back with Tanzania Specialist!

Fantastic 3 days gorilla trekking in Bwindi National Park
We had a wonderful 3 days trip from Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to see gorillas. Everything went smooth and it has been a great experience. The driver was very responsible, a good guide and cared about his customers.

Fantastic Tour and Safari
I have nothing but the best things to say about Trevaron. I wanted to take my wife on a Safari for her birthday.
The original path that Trevaron was great but we had a few things we wanted to do in Nairobi and also to extend our time in Masai Mara. Without any hesitation Trevaron accommodated all my requests and reorganized my trip.
The cherry on top was when I asked them to have the driver, who remained with us for the entirety of out trip, to have a Happy Birthday sign for when we arrive. To my wife's surprise he was there sign and all.
Trevaron met us at our hotel, walked us through everything and we were off. We had no issues at any point in our trip and were always in safe and capable hands.
This still remains one of our favourite trips we have ever been on.

Unforgettable safari, best guides!
Our safari with Mega Adventures is one of our best experiences ever and we would definitely recommend it. Since we were a group of four students, we wanted to do a budget safari. Communication with Mohamed about planning the trip was great. Mohamed was very thoughtful about our wishes and gave us straight information about the options and was very quick in his replies. We did a four day camping safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and it was more than we could have ever wished for. We were picked up at our hotel in Arusha to start the safari. Ally was our guide and he really made our trip. He was professional, friendly and had a good sense of humor. Ally had a great knowledge about the animals, nature and culture. He shared his passion with us, could answer all our questions and was sensitive about our wishes. He located the Big 5 for us, we got to see the great migration and we even saw two cheetahs catching an antelope all by ourselves. Our chef, Massawe, was very kind and prepared great food. We also loved the walking tour to see the best view of the Ngororongo Crater. Thank you Mohamed and Ally for this amazing experience.

Very knowledgeable, helpful and speedy response.
The information I was given by Cederberg Africa was very informative and the places they recommended were fantastic. Sanctuary Baines and Sanctuary Chief Camps were fantastic, from the location, accommodation to the staff.
