Excellent 2-Day Safari to Amboseli
5/5

Hello John!

Just wanted to let you know I had a fantastic trip! Thank you so much for answering all my questions as I figured out my plans. Cyrus was a great tour guide! He was very courteous and knowledgeable and an excellent eye, spotting many animals for me. He shared a lot of his knowledge about the animals, the plants, the geography, and Africa in general. I enjoyed traveling with him. Amboseli was fantastic, more than I could even dream of. We saw so many animals, it was incredible. Elephants, lions, buffalo, hippo, wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, impala, giraffe, wart hog, jackal, hyena, ostrich, hartebeest, gerenuk, baboon, vervet monkey, marabou stork, Egyptian goose, crested crane, flamingo, and guinea fowl! Fantastic sunsets and sunrises, and a magnificent clear view of Mt Kilimanjaro. The Kimana tent camp was nice. Simple, but good. All in all a fantastic experience. Thank you!

Hands-on, top notch
5/5

Together with some friends we booked a 3-day trip to Masai Mara. We choose CKC because of a very nice experience two years earlier when we visited Aberdares, Nakuru and Naivasha. This time again everything was nicely arranged for. John Muhoho is hands-on and joined driver Kennedy to pick us up on day 1 of our trip. The lodge (Il Kiliani camp) was excellent (it had a walking bridge to the reserve, amazing!) and Kennedy was a good guide and animal spotter: in twenty years of safari trips we only had had the chance to spot one leopard, now we saw two in two days. Conclusion in two words: top notch!

Excellent experience in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar!
5/5

I contacted John (Director of CKC) from Argentina and he was very helpful and professional in organizing the trip we wanted to make. Everything was perfect, the drivers in Kenya (Kenedy) and Tanzania (John) were very friendly. I highly recommend going to the Ngorongoro Crater, it's amazing! And Zanzibar is a paradise.
Thanks John and CkC Tours and Travel.
I strongly recommend this travel agency

CKC was the best.
5/5

From the first contact with CKC to the end of the safari, and even after the
end, John looked after us. Communication was excellent throughout, and we were kept up to date with all any changes. John even picked us up from the airport on our return, after our safari had ended in Zanzibar. He took us to our hotel and made sure we were looked after.
Our guides that John arranged were excellent. Knowledgeable and friendly. They certainly made our tour special. They even had an uncanny knack of getting us to the right place at the right time for a river crossing, and other wildlife events. I have no hesitation in recommending CKC and wish John and his staff all the best.

Adventure Delivered!
5/5

John Muhoho and his drivers did a great job of giving us a 12-day tour of eight conservancies and national parks in Kenya and Tanzania. Our accommodations were very nice and we saw all of the animals we wanted to see and more. Also, the safari package CKC put together for us was very competitive with the other tour operators and travel agents I considered. I would not hesitate to recommend John and CKC to anyone considering similar tours in East Africa.

A big thank you to John Muhoho
5/5

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.

Great Experience
5/5

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.

John Muhoho took great care of us on our 9 day Maasai Mara and Zanzibar adventure!
5/5

From the email communication, to the reservations, bookings, flights and hotel accommodations, John Muhoho, was detailed, responsive and delightful to work with! Confidence in traveling around Sub-Saharan Africa on safari in the Maasai Mara or in the spice farms and Stone Town of Zanzibar couldn't have been better. The Fig Tree hotel in the Maasai Mara, was in a beautiful setting just near the game park. It was a restful and beautiful place full of smiling, honest and welcoming staff! It was in large part a result of the smooth coordination and advance planning within our time frame by John Muhoho. All the best to him and others fortunate enough to book travel plans through him and the CKC tour company!

Excellent private tour for two, tailored to our needs.
5/5

We cannot thank John Muhoho enough for his prompt and courteous communications with us, which were many! 6 revisions to our tailormade itinerary, until we were satisfied with our choices. We are very grateful to John for his meticulous planning and execution of our safari. Our driver/guides were both knowledgeable and personable, and went the extra mile to ensure we had the best experience possible. Not only did we get to see the Big Five separately over 8 days of game drives, but we saw all five in one day in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. That is not a common occurrence, and we know how very fortunate we were to experience it. The lodges we stayed in were very, very good, and the food was plentiful and tasty. I cannot recommend this company enough - if you get the chance, choose CKC Tours and arrange a private tour, where everything is centered on just you and your needs, not a van full of others!
