A very professional and helpful tour operator.
We have just got home from the most amazing experiences in our lives. I booked an 8 day safari and 5 day at the beach tour with Tekko Tours. From the beginning Carol was extremely helpful and explained everything, the communication was excellent, answering any questions that I had. We believe that the cost of the tour was very good and worth every penny. All the accommodation was lovely and the food excellent, we will be on a diet now! Our guide for the tour was called William and we will be forever grateful to him for making our tour so unforgettable. He was so knowledgeable and helped us to view all the animals we wanted to see. We will never forget this holiday and we have Carol, William and Tekko Tours to thank for that.
Great
Our safari has been great and very well-organized! We were assisted by Carol who is really wonderful, professional, and very efficient. She was flexible and positive and helped us with the preparation of the safari. During the safari our guide was Kennedy, who is a good driver and a very nice and experienced guide. He knows a lot about the parks and the animals and was very flexible and considerate as well.
Highly recommend Tekko tours

Wonderful experience from start to finish!
From the moment we first enquired about itineraries, Tekko Tours couldn’t have been more helpful and easy to communicate with, providing prompt and helpful responses all the way through our booking process. We opted to make a few changes to the itinerary that we chose and these requests we all dealt with swiftly without any issues. In comparison to other quotes we received we thought the value for money was great and we don’t feel like we overspent on any aspect of the trip. The tour itself was faultless, whilst there was a lot of travel between locations each stop offered something different which made the distance covered worthwhile.
Our driver went out of his way to ensure our trip was special, he was very knowledgeable and happy to share information throughout the trip to enhance our experience. He was always on time ensuring we made the most of each location, he even getting to the airport an hour before our arrival time (4am) to ensure we wouldn’t start later than necessary.

Fantastic patience and excellent professional
We had a wonderful time with Tekko Tours on our 14-day Kenya safari and Diani beach holiday. Carol was very attentive and patient in arranging our itinerary and answering our questions. Ken was a great driver and guide who drove smoothly and explained a lot about the animals. We saw many interesting and lively animal behaviors. We highly recommend Tekko Tours to other travelers who want to experience East Africa with a professional and friendly team. Thank you Tekko Tours for the holiday of a lifetime！

Greatest value tour, perfect service
Highly recommended. Very friendly , fast and efficient communication. Adapted the tour to all our needs. Very good lodges, Ilkeliani lodge in Mara far beyond expectations. The driver Kennedy was so nice, knowledgeable and did everything to make this tour special. Unlike other drivers he tried to get off the standard path as much as he could as he completely understood what we are looking for and what the needs of serious photographers are. He did much more than the necessary and we couldn’t have wished for more. The trip Nairobi-Mara-Nakuru-Nairobi (3 nights) was well conceived and balanced. All in all a perfect trip. Mara and Lake Nakuru is a fantastic combo and Tekko Tours is a clear recommendation.

Responsive, friendly and efficient tour operator, always ready to please with fantastic staff
We specifically wanted to use a Kenyan tour operator to organise our trip, so that our tourist spend would remain in the country.
Right from the start, Tekko proved themselves to be up to the job. We specified our tour requirements, and Carol worked hard to plan the trip we wanted, using her extensive knowledge of the game reserves and lodges/camp/hotels available.
After several iterations, which Carol provided, we landed our trip - which included 6 game reserves and 4 days on the coast in 16 days, including our own driver and Land Cruiser.
Our driver, Kennedy, was a fantastic asset to our trip - friendly, knowledgeable, lots of initiative and problem solving, very understanding of our needs. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Even when our Land Cruiser had a technical problem (unsurprising given the mileage we covered and the quality of the roads), he resolved this without fuss and minimum inconvenience. He also had a good nose for the game, finding us the more tricky of the animals we were were hoping to see - leopard, cheetah, secretary bird, dwarf mongoose, etc.
Our trip exceeded our expectations, and Tekko were very instrumental in making that happen. I would thoroughly recommend using their services.

Responsive & dependable
Risper, our customer service manager, was very flexible and responsive in accommodating a last minute change of dates, which we very much appreciated. William, our tour guide, was an extremely gentle, patient and punctual individual whose company we cherished. He was knowledgeable about the fauna and flora in both of our destinations (Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru) and we learned a lot from his insights. Our experience would not have been the same without him. He showed a genuine desire to make our trip as pleasant and fulfilling as possible by going out of his way to make sure we saw all big 5 animals.
Highly recommended.
