We visited Kenya for a few days before going to Tanzania. We spent some time in Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Park. All safaris were excellent and although I had heard a lot about Tanzania surpassing Kenya in wildlife, we had similar experiences. Fantastic landscape, lots of wild animals and birds, and excellent service from Serene East Africa Safaris. I recommend a 4x4 Jeep and not a van, because the roads are not in good condition. Finally, we visited Mombasa, which really did not meet our expectations, we found Zanzibar much better.

The weather was perfect, warm days and cool nights. Staying in the bush at lodges was an amazing experience- wildlife right outside your balcony! Food was delicious, and restaurants were always accommodating to my food allergies. Our guides did their absolute best to find our favorite animals (giraffes and rhinos)!

I wouldn't put a lot of trust in SafariBookings. They keep sending me these surveys to fill out on my trip to Kenya. I've never been to Kenya and Never had a tour with these folks. I'd steer clear of this outfit.

Great landscapes. Amazing animals. Unbelievable wildlife. But at the same time very poor people around.

We had a fantastic guide - Mutemi from Dennisia Safaris. This made our experience just so much better. He knew all the parks we visited on the palm of his hand and knew where to drive to find the animals. We had lion sightings on a daily basis. The parks are packed with wildlife and they easy to spot. We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Although the Mara is synonym with Kenya, Amboseli is an extraordinary park and it's highly recommended that it should be on your itinerary. I cannot wait to return.

We had a truely amazing journey with our guide Geoffrey. We saw all the big five experienced the migration of the wildebeest whilst visiting three very different national parks in Kenya. The trip into Masai Mara is very rough and long ( over 1.5 hrs) off road but once there the park is amazing. The trip being our first to Africa ticked all our boxes and only fertilised the desire to return again. If you go with Classic Journeys request Geoffrey. He knows where to find everything you may wish to see or buy and will go that extra mile to ensure his guests leave satisfied. Thanks again.

Visited Kenya in Sept/Oct 2017. We travelled with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris Ltd. They provided a great safari/tour experience for us by providing what we wanted. Our guide/driver/spotter was excellent. We adapted to changing conditions, as you must, with the guidance of our driver.
Great trip

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
