Amazing
5/5

What an excellent experience! We've just returned from the 7 day tour around Kenya (Samburu, Mara, Lakes). Australken did a great job at facilitating the experience. Our driver / guide was wonderful, and we were provided with delicious and plentiful food throughout the week. We saw every animal we ever dreamt of seeing enjoyed the variety of activities (not just safari drives 24/7). The journeys between parks were long and tiring, but I have no doubt that it was 100% worth it.

Kenya, beautiful way to see
5/5

We spend our holidays during June in Kenya and looked forward to see the most beautiful locations there, on our wish list was Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli.
After looking for a local travel agency we found Australken Tours and Travel Ltd from Nairobi.
We like to use a local company to support the country.
We just have to say a big thank you Australken, our 10 days in Kenya are unforgettable.
Not just that we have seen all three locations in very plenty way, we been supported in an absolut perfect way! Very professional and absolut trustworthily.
I am sure we are comming back to Africa and without any doud, Austraklen will be our travel aganet again.
All the best Australken and we hope to be back soon.

Australken is an amazing company offering a great personal service
5/5

We chose Australken over other tour companies, as Zippy was super efficient with arranging our safari trip, she was responsive, professional and helpful at all times.
Our safari driver Symon was extremely knowledgable and went above and beyond to ensure that we had an amazing adventure. He was polite and curteous and kept the vehichle clean & tidy. His English was extremely good and very articulate.
His knowledge of the animals and birds was outstanding, and his love for his job shone through.
The trip was excellent value for money, we stayed in 4 of the 5 Sopa Lodges in Kenya and all were excellent and highly recommended.
We travelled to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara
Overall a fabulous tour operator offering more than a personal touch. Highly recommended.

Best Tour Operator
5/5

We have just finished our safari in East Africa a family of with 3 young children including an infant and we have been humbled by the professionalism of Zippy who was pronto in replying the emails and making sure that she picked the properties that were child friendly and she was spot on. We requested for a flying safari as we were worried of the kids and the long drives but it was very nice as we didn't have to endure the long road. The guides were brilliant in every park that we visited and we were so grateful to receive some souvenirs from Zippy on our last day. It was the best holiday that we have had in a long time.

Brilliant service
5/5

We have just returned from a weeks stay in Mombasa which we had booked through a local company from the UK. A friend of mine introduced us to Australken as they go to Kenya annually and they have always booked through them. We called Zippy before we left as we needed to fly for 2 nights in Mara. She booked us at Osero Camp a modern upmarket camp that was brilliant, it was my husbands 60th so the camp gave us a free bottle of bubbly. We were so delighted with the experience in Masai Mara we will be back for the migration. God bless Africa.

A magical experience with a fabulous guide!
5/5

My husband and I had the most incredible experience with Australken. We were looking for a 3 day/2 night budget safari option from Nairobi. Not only was Australken the most affordable of all the groups we talked to, but the communication and service were top notch. We stayed in a tented camp within the Mara, which was perfectly comfortable - had wonderful food - and a fabulous host. Simon was our driver/guide for the entire trip and he was absolutely amazing. We felt cared for and learned so much from him. His recommendation for our hot air balloon ride was great as well. We had the best time, saw so many animals, and would recommend anyone we know to Australken!
