excellent tour with tekko tours
My experience with tekko tours has been really very satisfying.
The proposal of the tour by miss Maggie has been perfect for what we wanted, infacrt we had the opportunity to have a complet portray of Kenya, visiting 6 parks and having the possibility to reach all the differents habitats of the country.
Our guide driver Stephen was very professional and nice with us, we have always felt safe with him.
The quality of the accomodation was mixed, from outstanding to average; but compared to the price payed for the tour always in line with the expectations.
Food: always international food suitable for all.
We have travelled with children and everyhing was ok, maybe the transfers from one place to another were, some days, too long … but you cannot make in a different way.
Abbiamo viaggiato con 2 bambini di 8 e 10 anni nel mese di agosto 2017.
Abbiamo trovato tekko tours per caso, navigando sul sito, e ci siamo affidati completamente a loro per l'organizzazione del viaggio.
Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti perchè in effetti pensano a tutto e si ha realmente la possibilità di rilassarsi.
Abbiamo scelto un tour di fascia economica media, ma ciò non ha impedito di alloggiare in un paio di lodge davvero belli; in qualche altro caso invece la sistemazione per quanto non lussuosa era comunque decorosa.
Probabilmente il lodge meno valido dove abbiamo pernottato è stato l'osero mara, che essendo al masai mara ed ultimo nel viaggio probabilmente poteva essere sostituito con una sistemazione migliore.
Il tour si è svolto nel migliore dei modi ed anche la scelta del percorso, fatta da tekko tors, era perfetta.
La nostra guida /autista era sempre molto attento a soddisfare i nostri desideri di ricerca degli animali e abbiamo potuto vedere tutta la fauna africana veramente da molto vicino.
Insomma siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti e consigliamo il viaggio a tuti.
Peraltro il clima è splendido e le persone che abbiamo incontrato sempre sorridenti

Best vacation ever
We were late in booking our safari. As I travel several times a year to Africa, mostly with one month - or less - notice, it didn't occur to me that many (most?) people plan their safari months in advance.
After some back and forth with Ute Sonnenberg - and being on a "waiting list" - we spent six days/nights on safari in and around Kruger National Park in South Africa. Communication/updates were frequent and efficient and as indicated above, my wife and I who have traveled the world agree that this was the best trip ever. It was not our first safari, but it seemed that everything was hand picked and that we were the center of attention.
The highlight were the wild dogs and the leopards. But then there was the 18 member lion pride... and soo much more

It was a great experience, well planned and executed.
Everything worked out very well. The driver Abram was knowledgeable and patient. I would recommend this travel agent.
I want to suggest that uhuru explain to clients about the type of accommodation they can expect. A luxury tented accommodation in my country is very different from the one we had in Serengeti. It was an unforgettable experience though.
Also I think some halal accommodation for Muslim clients would be very welcome.

Great Safari With some minor hiccups by the Driver
First of all, I would like to thank Sylvester for offering us such a fabulous Safari.
The hotels & the plans were spot on. I am also thankful to his recommendations for the safari itinerary, and saving timing by not doing back-tracking.
Our Hotel selection was fabulous for the package that we opted for. And we felt that everything went as per the plan :)
Minor Hiccups (Driver : Pascal):
1. The driver would take unnecessary stops & waste time at Curio shops, expecting us to buy stuff, despite telling him that we didn't want to.
2. There was no WiFi offered by the driver, despite Sylvester confirming that he has the device.
3. There was only 1 pack of 20 1/2ltr bottles being shared by the two of us & the driver, and that ran out on day3 (of our 7 day safari), we had to spend a lot on buying from the hotels.
4. The driver wanted an evening off (on easter eve') on our stay at Naivasha. We were happy to skip our boat ride & allowed him to go back and spend time with the family.
Despite us being considerate, having him join us for meals all the time, offering him wine & beer after all game drives, he fooled us on the last day by making us skip the safari at Amboseli in the morning. Which we later found out made him save a full day's park fee! We kinda felt cheated.
This was discussed with Sylvester on our meeting before the flight, and he agreed to investigate.
Sylvester also mentioned that he will take action against the driver & offered us refunds for unused safari/park fees/resources - if the driver is found guilty - as they have GPS trackers and can confirm his holiday & skipping the game-drive. The investigation led to our facts being True.
But it's been 4 months+, Sylvester hasn't carried out any refunds as promised, even after regular follow-ups.
Overall -
I feel its a Great experience being in Kenya which in itself is a 5-star experience. I would have given a 5-star rating if the post-safari experience was Prompt & Professional as well.
These minor hiccups surely are something which can be avoided by paying attention to details and making sure the Drivers & Managers don't want to make these minor cost-cutting stunts.

Excellent
This was the second time I used Jossec Tours and Safaris. The reason I came back to them is because they met all my expectations and gave me the best tour for me and my young family. They were very helpful and thought of everything. My kids even watched a lion hunting in Tsavo!!!! That remains their most enduring memory of the safari. I highly recommend them and thanks once again for the experience.

Great experience with Sunny Safari!
Great experience with Sunny Safari! Jessica always answered all our questions prompty and organized our hotel in Arusha and ride from airport. Hamisi was our driver/guide for the safari and provided excellent service. He could spot an animal miles away- like a Leopard hiding in a tree. He handled driving the very bumpy and challenging roads especially in the crater with great skill and ease. My husband and I are middle age and did the Tangarerie National Park (1 night), Serengeti (3 nights) and Sopa lodge (1 night) for 5 nights. We found too much driving for 6 days and would recommend either flying to Serengeti or out of Serengeti or adding another stop in between. Also, the safari jeep are the basic vehicle with no frills. If you want the luxury jeeps with big comfy seats, a/c, nice big coolers then book the more expensive safari. Otherwise, we were satisified customers.

Really took care of me and my friends
She did a great job and helped us go on the trip we wanted. Fair warning though, cash is king. I could not find any places that would take a credit card but she worked with us and we were able to find enough cash over the next couple of days to cover our safari. I would like to add that the driver that she set us up with was amazing and went the extra mile to take care of us and had great relationships in the national park to help make the trip awesome.
