We were always in good hands
5/5

Our 6 day safari organised by CKC Tours & Travel that went from Nairobi to Maasi Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater back to Nairobi was the trip of a lifetime and our safari exceeded our expectations. During our planning we request changes to our initial itinerary in terms of arrival and departure date / time. John adjusted the itinerary timings and arranged additional accommodation to meet our needs. From our arrival at Nairobi airport, through the game parks and border crossings, we were always in the hands of experienced, friendly, and very helpful staff. The whole experience was amazing: viewing the animals, the balloon ride, the Maasi village, the knowledge and friendliness of the drivers/guides, but most of all the animals. Thank you for the making the whole experience so enjoyable and memorable.

Wonderful trip in Kenya
5/5

We just came back from 6 days safari game drive in Kenya. This is our second time doing game drive there and we had a wonderful time. John organized the tour for us. The accommodations were great. Kennedy was our driver. He was excellent. We saw a lot of animals (big 5 in one trip) which was amazing. This is our 4th safari trip and the only time we got to see big 5 in one trip. Kennedy suggested us to do boat safari in the lake on our way to Masai mara and that was great. We saw so many hippos. We had great experiences with this tour company and we would use it again for our next safari trip in Tanzania. Thanks John and Kennedy!!!!

Couldn't have been better: the trip of a lifetime, expert guides, great hotels, rock bottom price.
5/5

CKC is the outfit to go with if you want local professionals, expert guides, individualized itineraries, a small group and incredible low prices for the high quality experience. The largest group they take is six, so if a couple can find four friends, you have your own private safari and you can write the itinerary yourselves. Mr. Muhoho knows his business thoroughly, responds to communication almost immediately (granted the time difference), is understanding and completely flexible. He can give you good advice on your selections. CKC safaris are advertised as "medium" range but to our eyes most of the lodges were luxurious, with spacious, comfortable rooms, all facilities and excellent, elegantly presented food. The two "tent camps" in the Serengeti were more like the tents a king would travel with: large, multi-room, permanent toilet, hot shower, vanity, and cowhide rugs on the floor! His guides could win a Nobel prize for driving on the difficult roads of the parks. By all means, take the optional ranger walk from the Rhino Inn down to the watering hole where the Masai herders bring their animals.

5/5

I have used the services of CKC Tours many times - individually and as part of a couple. They are always reliable, friendly and helpful. The driver/guides are wonderfully knowledgeable. CKC will customize your tour and accommodate your suggestions as well as make great suggestions for you to consider. We have become friends!

Besides the places, the operation was impeccable.
It met expectations. The times, coordinations, and attentions were A1.
At all times we felt informed and well taken care of. Very friendly and concerned that the experience was special.
I recommend them for upcoming safaris. I hope to return next year.

Nairobi, Amboseli, and Masai Mara
5/5

We needed help setting up a week in Kenya and John with CKC tours delivered. We wanted to attend a family wedding in Nairobi and then see the beautiful parks in Kenya without breaking the bank and we couldn't have been happier with the service and accommodations that John set up for us. We arranged our own air travel to Nairobi and John was there with Julius to pick us up. We stayed at the Nairobi Serena Hotel while in Nairobi and really enjoyed the hotel and found the staff and the restaurants quite good. Julius, our guide and driver while in Nairobi was excellent and had a wonderful knowledge of the city. Because our time was limited, John arranged for us to fly on Air Kenya to both of our lodge experiences. Our first flight was to Amboseli where we stayed at the Serena Lodge. The accommodations were lovely, the park was truly amazing and the the food was very good. We were well cared for the entire time. After 2 nights there we flew back to Nairobi and then on to the Masai Mara. We really loved the Masai Mara! The views were spectacular and the wildlife was amazing. The lodge was top notch! (But be careful around the baboons!) John was so easy to work with! With his help we were able to have such a wonderful and memorable trip. I can't recommend his services enough!
