Great organization with a super tour guide (Jackson)
Me and my wife arranged our safari only in Masai Mara in order to see the wild life and not to spend our time traveling other locations for 6 nights and 2 different hotels. Maggie was very helpful and responsive in the process of arranging every single detail of our safari. For me, the most important thing in the safari is the guide/driver, what you are going to see is in his hands. Jackson was our guide and I think he is the best. He understands the animal behavior, always listens the radio talks from other guides and always know where and how the animal goes.
Thanks to him we saw 5 big (Rhino was the hardest for our period but he tried a lot and managed to find it), live lions wildebeest kill (if you are with your wife or girlfriend, close her eyes because they are all crying ), live cheeta gazelle kill and every single animal in my Masai Mara check list.
It was totally a perfect experience and decision to arrange our safari with Tekko Tours.

Professional Tour Company
When we decided to book a 14 day trip to Kenya we did a lot of research and had a good idea about what we wanted to see and where to stay. We were very fortunate to make contact with Maggie Kariuki at Tekko Tours and we were very impressed from day one. Maggie was very prompt in her communication and we thought she added extra value to our ideas and gave us other options to consider. Maggie was always very professional and patient whilst we were finalising our plans. Making payments from the UK to Tekko Tours Bank in Nairobi was very straightforward and secure. Upon arrival in Nairobi at 5am Maggie was at the airport to greet us along with Stephen who was to be our guide and driver for the duration if our trip. We spent our first day in and around Nairobi, firstly with Maggie on a walking tour in the city and then later in the day Stephen drove us further afield. After a night in the Crowne Plaza, Upper Hill, which was a very good overnight stay, Stephen picked us up early the next morning to begin our Safari experience which included 8 different parks. Our vehicle was a Land Cruiser and was perfect for us, we did experience a few problems which affected the speed we were able to travel and probably caused a few small delays in arriving at our destinations, a minor point however as Stephen always rectified the problems and to be honest these vehicles work very hard in the conditions so it's no surprise if issues arise. Stephen is a very professional and safe driver which is the most important aspect of travelling such long distances.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Tekko Tours and would most definitely use their services again. Thank you.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!
