Great service
Our trip was organized very well! It was turnkey service and absolutely coincided with our expectations, lodges were really good, guides were nice! We wanted to visit 2 parks and take advantage of air transfer between the points, so John made us offer for vallue for moneyand fulfilled it perfectly.

I am so grateful for choosing CKC.
Thank you John for being so helpful and making the process so smooth!
My tour guide, Yoshua was the best of the best of the best of the best.
He was going above and beyond to give us the best safari experience. I would ask for him if I were you

Great Experience
If you just arrive to kenya and need urgent advice for a good safari, this is the best option. Jhon received my call and emails and was very keen to answer all my questions and replied so fast.
Also if you are traveling alone, Jhon will manage, so just make a call.
On top of that, the experience offered was very good and reached the expectations of a good safari. Dear Jhon, I will count on you for visiting other reserves in Kenya.
saludos!

Hands-on, top notch
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!

CKC Tours – Safari to Amboseli and Masai Mara
This was out first safari and we were delighted to have chosen CKC Tours to organise it for us. We wanted to fly to avoid long tiring road transfers, and stay in quality but sensibly priced hotels and the package put together satisfied our requirements at a cost significantly less than some international luxury operators.
John met us personally at the airport and was very friendly, thorough and professional. Our private transfer to the Serena Nairobi was an opportunity to find out a little more. He gave us our detailed arrangements the following morning with flight and hotel vouchers and advice regarding the trip. He safely stored out excess luggage for our onward trip to Zanzibar as the strict 15kg weight limit applies for the light aircraft transfers and met us again at Wilson airport at the end of our trip.
The flights to Amboseli and later Masai Mara were an enjoyable experience with some fantastic views, but the small aircraft may not suit some. We saw herds of animals around the swamp in Amboseli and tracks of animals heading toward the Mara River from the windows.
The hotels were perfect, relaxing with good but not gourmet food and lovely views. The views from the Masai Mara Serena Game Lodge are amazing- you don’t need to go on safari, just look out the window as the animals pass having crossed the river.
We enjoyed the BBQ bush dinner at Amboseli and the breakfast with the hippos on the Mara River – would highly recommend both.
The game drives were fantastic, we were in 4*4 pop up vehicles. In Serena were had 3 of 4 game drives with no other passengers and had completely private tours in Masai Mara (we did not chose private tours, just got lucky as the season was coming to an end – late September).
Our drivers were fantastic – as first time safari goers we kept asking to stop and look at zebras initially! We saw the amazing Elephants in Amboseli, the crossing of the wildebeest on the Mara river , lions, hippos, and everything else including a leopard. The sceneries in the two locations are excellent and going to Amboseli then Masai Mara is the best order to enjoy these two locations.
Overall I would highly recommend this safari and would happily go with CKC tours again. We’ll be back!

Excellent communication and planning
I had initially been working with another tour operator who was not as responsive as I would like. I reached out to others, and chose CKC for their responsiveness and sample itineraries. John worked with me for about a month to refine our trip schedule, and was attentive to our flight arrival time so that we could check in to our Nairobi hotel as soon as we arrived. We even got breakfast that day at the hotel! John arranged for our hot air balloon ride over Masai Mara National Park at sunrise, and it will probably be the most favorite hour of my life! Over our 10 day stay, we had 4 different drivers, and they were all excellent. Simon knew every back road of Masai Mara and got us front-row views of every animal. Isack navigated the difficult roads of Tanzania very well, stayed with us at the Serengeti tented camp, and took us down into the fantastic Ngorongo Crater. He made sure we were able to see a rhino, even at a long distance. We would have never spotted it on our own. CKC Tours took care of us very personally and very professionally. I highly recommend you plan a trip with them!

Great excursion and communication
Great excursion in Mombassa. Communication was timely and thorough. We were met at the port as arranged. John and the driver assisted us to safely find an ATM at the beginning of the day. Driver very attentive. Would recommend - thx for a great day in Mombassa!
