Professional, reliable and trust-worthy
We had one of the best trips of our lives when we visited Kenya and Masai Mara....thanks to Kichaka tours who took care of our entire visit there. We were promised so many things before we visited the place, and we were a bit skeptical about how things would finally turn out, but to our pleasant surprise, we were delivered much more than were promised. I would certainly recommend Kichaka tours to anyone who is new to the place and visiting for the first time.

Knowledgable, accommodating and friendly Thor operator!
I had tried to book the Masai budget tour from Addis Ababa, but due to a glitch could not transfer the advance. However, Faith from Tru Nomads was extremely understanding and helpful and agreed to receive the full payment on arrival.
The tour guide John was very friendly and knowledgable, and made the journey very pleasant.
The expectations from this tour facilities were limited as is expected from a budget tour.
Overall, a wonderful experience.

Trip of a Lifetime!
We just returned from 20 days on safari with Kenya Walking Tours, which
included Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar. It was absolutely beyond words!
We were a party of 6 and we were ALL 100% satisfied with all aspects of our
experience. From the planning stages where we negotiated itinerary,
accommodations and pricing with OT who was more than willing to work with
us, through the actual visits to his office during our stay to give him
first had reviews of the adventure, we couldn't have asked for a more
organized and comprehensive client-oriented adventure. Our package
included all of our transport (including airport transfers!), meals,
accommodations, English-speaking drivers, and park admissions.
We visited Samburu (our favorite!), Navaisha, Amboseli, Nakuru, Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Manyara,
Ngorongoro, and finally Zanzibar!
Be prepared for long and dusty van rides if you select an itinerary like ours, but keep an open mind and be
patient -- pole pole (swahili for slowly)! Hakuna Matata! Everything you will see and the people will meet will be well worth the time spent in rough transit!
Our driver, Anthony, was fantastic! Personable, knowledgeable -- and always interested in keeping us safe and happy!
Our accommodations ranged from upscale lodges to low budget hotels to tented camps (our favorite being the unfenced camp in the Serengeti!!). Other than the understandably unpredictable availability of hot water, we were always pleasantly surprised with our stays. The food was plentiful and decent; the staff bent over backwards to make your stay unforgettable.
We suggest you bring lots of small bills and items to trade. Enjoy the bartering with all the native Kenyans and Tanzanians. It's half the experience! And bring along an extra tote to cart home all the things you'll find yourself not being able to resist purchasing in the heat of the bargaining!
I just can't say enough about this trip! Already hoping to book a gorilla trek to Uganda with Kenya
Walking Tours! Not even considering another company!
PS -- I almost forgot the animals! We got glimpses of the Big Five and took thousands of photos of some of the most amazing sites ever! It often times felt surreal to be in such close proximity to these awesome animals I thought I'd only ever see most of them in National Geographic!
Take the Hot Air Balloon over the Serengeti --- it's fabulous...and the breakfast is unbelievable as well!
Finally, we loved our time in Navaisha where we did a 1/2 day walking safari in Crescent Island, as well
as a boat ride to spot Hippos galore!
I could go on and on, but you get the point. If you're trying to decide whether to book a tour or not with Kenya Walking ..think no longer! Just do it! You wont be sorry!

Wildlife Safari + Much More
My trip with Wilderness Legends Africa was great in every way. The places we saw were magnificent, and our interactions with the people there were warm and interesting. The variety of experiences went beyond my expectations: all kinds of wild animals, friendly residents, lovely accommodations with exceptional service, guides who were knowledgeable and went out of their way to make this a "trip of a life time". It was an adventure, but I always felt safe. I fell in love with Tanzania and the people. This was a perfect trip.
I want to go again, and I will definitely go with Wilderness Legends Africa.

Great experience
We went on a 3-day gorilla trek with Encounter Africa Safaris. Chris and Joseph organized a wonderful trip. Prompt responses, tailored the trip for us with no fuss when we wanted to do more on the trip. Joseph, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and got us into the best gorilla trekking group! Thank you! We had a blast.

Incredible Once in a Lifetime Journey!
I was so very pleased with the service and experience that I had in Tanzania. Brenda and Kakasii are incredible knowledgable and caring. I had an incredible time on all 3 of our adventures. The planning was incredible and I was treated so well the entire trip. I met incredible people and will never forget my time in this amazing country! Thank you so much for making my lifelong dream not only come true but be the most astounding adventure I will ever have!

Mega safari with Megaadventures
We had a great time with Megaadventures, since they managed to plan for us a special and adventurous safari as we had dreamed about and asked for. The experiences we lived are unique and most of tourists we met there could never image what they lost choosing another agency for their safari (e.g. walking safaris for hours, tents in the middle of nowhere with wild animals going around)! And Ally was the best guide & driver ever!!
Ps. Delicious food with our chef Masawe!!
