Great tour, wonderful staff!
My wife and I did a two week tour with Tekko Tours and we can’t recomment them highly enough. Communication from the beginning was quick and easy, even though it was a somewhat last-minute plan. Our guide/driver was a pleasure to travel with and was very knowledgeable. In the middle of our tour, we had an emergency (not associated with the tour) and I am so glad we had such great people helping us because it made a horrible situation as easy as possible. Everyone working with us was absolutely amazing and I think that, under the circumstances, the tour could not have been better.

Tekko made my dream trip come true
Tekko tours took my expectations and blew them out of the water. Originally I had reached out to several companies for information and quotes but Tekko was an easy choice once I spoke to Maggie, the tour consultant. Maggie was always quick to respond, happy to answer all my questions and was so patient and accommodating with me when I needed changes.
My tour guide, Jackson, was everything you could ask for: professional, knowledgeable and courteous to name a few. As a solo female traveler I was a bit anxious for the trip but upon meeting him I was put at complete ease. It was easy to see why he is so well liked and respected by the tourism community, often stopping to help stuck cars or giving advice to other drivers. His vast knowledge about Kenya was helpful in making sure I had the best experience possible.
As for the the tour itself, Africa is truly amazing. Jackson made sure I got to see the Big 5 and every other animal on my list (hippo, cheetah, hyaena, giraffe, zebra, baboons etc).
Thank you Tekko for making my dream trip possible. I look forward to booking with you in the future.

Amazing service at affordable rates!
If I could give Tekko 10+ stars, I would. They were very well organized, and made our entire experience unforgettable. I initially reached out to many companies, but Tekko gave us the most reasonable prices and also customized our itinerary several times with price quotes in a timely manner with replies that came within 24-48 hours between each question we had. Maggie was our agent and she even checked in on us via Whatsapp to make sure we had made our flights etc. George was our safari guide and he went the extra mile to make sure we had the best experience and this included game drives that were sometimes a bit longer than scheduled just so we could see some rare sights like Leopards and male lions. He knew so much about the animals and their behaviors, it was quite the educational experience as well and was more than we could have imagined. My friend and I(two females) had gone on this trip and had just planned it less than two months in advance, but they were able to make it all come together. All transportation was included and our questions regarding what to pack etc. were well answered. This was such a stress-free trip to us. Highly recommend Tekko Tours and will definitely be coming back with our families next time!

Absolutely perfect
We chose a 5 days safari tour which included Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara. And after all I have only one word to describe that experience : “perfect”!
1) we communicated with Maggie (she is a manager of the company) and Jackson (he was our driver and guide). These guys are very professional, nice, intelligent, responsible, punctual and attentive to our desires and requests. We loved them so much
2) we chose option 2 (with the best hotels) and that was really AMAZING! All the hotels were so unusual, comfortable and with it’s own twist
3) the car was very comfortable with a roomy saloon. You will spend most of the time in the car so you should choose the best variant
4) we compared many different safari tours with different hotels, transport and prices. And now I can say for sure that the best value for money you can find here, in Tekko tours.
Thank you once more time! We loved it so much! And we will recommend you to others!

Memorable
We booked an African safari for the first time and we decided to go with a local Kenyan agency. So we found Tekko.
Maggie was very friendly and fast responding to all our questions… and they were many as we had no idea what to expect.
She booked for us a 14 days/13 night (safari + beach at Mombasa) and it was just perfect.
Our driver was Gordon and he was very nice, no so talkative, but neither were we, so we fit great. He did answer and explained everything we asked and we enjoyed his company a lot. Thanks to him we saw so many animals: lions, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, birds, etc, but the most impressive were the 57 elephants, traveling all together in Amboseli.
The accommodation was perfect and the beach wonderful.
We recommend to all to go to Africa and if you do … go with Tekko.

Outstanding personal service and well-organized itinerary!
Hello,
We traveled to Kenya (Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara) and Tanzania (Zanzibar) in July 2018 with Tekko Tours & Travel. I would highly recommend Tekko to anyone who may be considering an East African safari.
Maggie was incredibly gracious, patient, and thorough in responding to my inquiries and customizing our trip. Her help made planning the safari stress-free and quite enjoyable.
Our guide and driver, Stephen, was professional, knowledgeable, and worked incredibly hard to make sure we had a good experience. He has been guiding tours for many years and absolutely made our trip one to remember for a lifetime. He was on the radio communicating with other guides and expertly navigated us right to every type of animal imaginable.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience Stephen, Maggie, and Tekko!

Great in every way, made our safari a memorable and enjoyable experience
Tekko Tours was wonderful throughout the whole experience of booking the trip, arriving in Kenya, and throughout the two weeks of our stay. The manager Maggie was great at communication and stayed late at the airport to meet us. Our driver Jackson was always ready to answer our questions and was tireless in taking us to each of our destinations. He was especially good at anticipating where in the parks the best place for animal watching would be. We would enthusiastically recommend them for a safari tour in Kenya.

Everything just as expected or better
Evertything went very well, from the booking to the trip. Jackson is a really trustful guide, drives very well and knows the parcs and reserves just like his pockets. The accomodations were stilysh and comfortable. The only thing is that maybe we could have split the trip from Masai Mara to Nairobi in 2 steps as doing so in just one shot is pretty long (>8 hours).
Other than I would higly recommend Tekko Tours.
Bravi davvero!

Amazing Safari Trip, Great Guide
We booked customized private 5-days Safari tour (Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru). Maggie was very helpful and respond quickly to my mails when planning out trip. The price is very reasonable compare to other tour operators. The safari experience was perfect and it was beyond our expectations thanks to our guide Jackson. He did his best to show us the wildlife close as possible. He gave us lots of information about animals, wildlife, national parks and Kenya. He was very knowledgeable and courteous. I think the guide is the key element of Safari experience. And we were lucky that we had Jackson as a guide. I strongly recommend Tekko Tours and especially Jackson for your Safari journeys.
