Good value for money - great experience
We (family of 5) did a seven-day tented safari tour with Wild Safaris & Travel in an open-roof 9 seater bus that we shared with another couple. The bus was rather old but convenient, we could see the wildlife very well. The driver/guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He did not speak a lot spontaneously, but he was always willing to answer questions and was open for suggestions. We must note that on one day, we did not feel safe in the bus (irresponsible overtaking on the road from Nairobi to Mombasa). After we asked to slow down, it did not happen that explicitely anymore.
All parks were amazing - packed with wildlife, we saw the big five and many more. The food was OK but a bit monotonuous, the camps were basic, but friendly. I can definitely reccommend this tour.

The ultimate safari experience thanks to a great guide
Our 6-day safari tour wih Kenan Travel & Yours was wonderful. We left from Diani and visited Ambroseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. The different accommodations were lovely, although the lodging at Masai Mara did have a more 'mass-production' feel to it due to the amount of guests. What absolutely defined our trip was the great driving and know-how of our driver Bonnie, who did not only know a lot about the wildlife we encountered, but was also very attentive throughout the trip. (5 stars out of 5)
Our one bit of advice would be to renegiotiate the itinerary if it features a midday lunch in Nairobi with one of the office staff members. With Nairobi traffic we strongly advise you to to steer clear of the city on your way from one park to the next (in our case from Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara). You will lose precious time for a potential afternoon game drive; we missed ours (hence the 4 out of 5 instead of 5 out of 5).

Experience about my visit to Nairobi with Kichaka Tours and Travel
One fine day I arrived in Nairobi & Mr. Stephen one of the representative of Kichaka Tours was there to receive me. Then he drove me to Nairobi city where I met Mr. John who was professional safari driver cum guide of our group. So Mr. John drove us to Masai mara what was about 6 hours jorney from Nairobi city. On the way we saw interesting sight seenings & by the time we arrived to Masai mara it was evening already. After checking-in in the camp we proceeded for safari was experiencing senset view of masai mara what was in amazing experience. Then next morning we went for game drive what was suppose to be whole day in the park, so everything went accordingly & we had so much of fun looking around animals, greenery, nice weather, rivers & mountains. After spending whole day in park we came back & had dinner at the camp. Next morning we checked out from camp & went for experiencing the sun rise in the park what was another beautiful experience. After experiencing sun rise we proceeded back to Nairobi city to our destinations. Over all it was a wonderful experience exploring Nairobi with Kichaka Tours & I will recommend them to who ever is traveling to Nairobi. Best regards!

Great Place for Wildlife Viewing
Interesting combination of bush and water allows the viewing of a large variety of wildlife. Some of the tracks are "iffy" requiring a certain 4x4 driving skill. One very negative experience was the sightin of a leopard, when our guide reported it to his colleagues from our lodge on a supposedly "private frequency" a total of 14 vehicles, 12 of them either from other lodges or self-drive descended on the place jostling for the best view.

Chacha's team was very energetic and committed.
My wife and I had a safari(5 days) and climbed the Kilimanjaro( 3 days short trekking). We made a reservation through the internet. They reponded to my every email kindly .We were concerned if Chacha would show up. Because we read a few of bad rumors about small companies. They greeted us at the airport in time. Our trips went as well as expected.

A great personalized tour of Masai Mara
We had a great trip, our guide Ken was very knowledgeable. He picked this up in the city at our hotel and served as our guide in the park as well. He is a great tracker and we had a great time. We would definitely recommend this service.

Relaxed, hassle free booking.....awesome knowledgeable safari guide......great cook
Communication with Andrew in arranging the safari was rwally goid. We had lots of littl, irritating questions that he always took time to answer.
Our guide and cook were great especially with our two young kids.
We clocked up 4 of the big 5 in our first day (!) and always returned to camp to find a great meal waiting for us.
