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.

The perfect safari
Finally we went to Tanzania for safari. We had good communication about where to stay, what to see , they helped us a lot so I couldn't go wrong.
We went to the National Parks Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire. First day Tarangire what an amazing park with many elefants, whole families we saw also zebra's, buffalo's, giraffes and even lions we saw. Thanks to our guide Elemes, who saw everywhere animals and told us so many nice and interesting stories about the animals and nature. End of the day we camped, what an great experience. Not scarry as I thought but with good gardes at night not scarry but so good to hear the noises). Isaac made perfect dinner with lovely local food, what is amazing in such a small kitchen.
Day 2 and 3 we went to Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti, what an overwhelming nature this is. Lucky we had that Elemes saw even rhino's and other beautiful places.. everywhere you looked it was gorgeous. Sleeping in tents is a real adventure and one you have to do in your life.
They told us we won't be disappointed and that's true! It was a perfect safari if you compare price and comfort. They helped us before and on safari it was all real good organised. Hopefully we come back one day to visit other parks. Thanks for this amazing safari. Asante sana

Expert Guiding Experience With Knowledgeable and Lovely Guide
I engaged Ale and Wandering Thru as a private guide in Botswana. Ale made lovely suggestions for where we could go so that I would have a wide ranging experience of destinations in Botswana. I had been on a number of safari's in Kenya previously and was looking for something new. I also needed something within my budget. The three camps we stayed at (for 3 nights each) were just perfect. Yes, the first one was a little rustic but this had been explained to me prior and I had agreed. All communication was excellent and fully explained. I was given many options and Ale made sure I did understand the destinations and accommodations (we stayed in tented camps at my request). Ale had to reschedule one of my intraAfrica flights because the airline canceled it without notifying us and was quick to take care of the unexpected changed. I also had airline issues enroute from Kenya to Botswana and again Ale was right on top of helping me make necessary changes quickly. During our time together I thoroughly enjoyed her knowledge, humor and simply lovely personality. She was always very professional with the camp guides who ended up asking her questions. I could not recommend her and Wandering Thru more and hope to travel with them again next year.

Good Tour, Good price
I went on the 4 day Masai Mara tour, overall experience was very good. We had an excellent driver and we managed to see the big 5 in one day, apparently we were the first group to do so in two months. Good overall experience

Amazing from start to finish with great guides, trucks and service.
The communication is always great. The Service is even better. We have been using them for 8 years and have always had positive experiences . The safari itself is superb especially in the Serengeti. Cannot beat it.

Great!!!
I arrived in Nairobi on sunday after a long trip, and Vincent was there to wait me. We went with my driver to the decasa hotel and then I did a small tour in Nairobi. The hotel is easy but ok. The day later my safari started masai Mara and lake nakuru. It was like a dream. Vincent is a great person and he has done everything to be my safari SPECIAL!!!!

Best Safari with the best driver!
I was looking safaris for a reasonable price and found Axis Africa. Because they're reviews were so good, we decided to book a safari thru them also. We had a 3-day Joining safari to Masai Mara. Solomon, our driver/guide was the best there can be, being everywhere something happened and did all he could to give as the best experience. Lennox always replies quickly to questions and all problems are being solved. We stayed in Lenchada Camp, this was also a superb experience for that kind of money. So everything was absolutely awesome. We'd like to thank Solomon again for such a great experience and help also, 'cause when coming back from Safari we had a problem with our next booking (apartement) and Solomon helped us out. Thank You again!
Also the people we joined Safari with were great, so we had a very good time!

It was excellent all around. Everything worked out well. An experience of a lifetime! The game viewing rides were fun and very informative.
