Amazing Destination!
My adult daughter and I had an amazing time on our tour! You see documentaries on TV and pictures in magazines but to be there and see the animals up close is indescribable! We got so much more out of this trip that we had hoped for. I also recommend paying extra to do a sunrise hot air balloon tour so you can see everything from hundreds of feet above. I hope to have the chance to return to Kenya someday!

A SHORT 3 DAYS IN MAUN FILLED WITH A SUNSET CRUISE, A ONE DAY SAFARI AND A SCENIC FLIGHT.
BOTSWANA HAS EVERYTHING AN ADVENTURER NEEDS, FROM AN INLAND DELTA TO WILDLIFE PARKS THAT CAN BOAST THE LARGEST POPULATION OF AFRICAN ELEPHANTS IN THE WORLD. WHILST IN MAUN FOR A SHORT TIME MY WIFE AND I MANAGED TO COMPLETE A SUNSET CRUISE, A DAY SAFARI IN THE MOREMI NATIONAL PARK AND A SCENIC HELICOPTER RIDE OVER THE OKAVANGO DELTA.
AS A KEEN PHOTOGRAPHER I SECURED REALLY GOOD AMATEUR PHOTOS OF LIONS, CHEETAHS, ELEPHANTS, GIRAFFES, BABOONS, CROCODILES, HIPPOS, GAZELLES AND NUMEROUS BIRD SPECIES DURING THIS PERIOD. WE CERTAINLY RECOMMEND BOTSWANA AS A FABULOUS DESTINATION FOR ADVENTURERS OF ALL AGES. AS RETIRED PEOPLE WE FOUND THE HOSPITALITY OF THE LOCAL PEOPLE AND TRAVEL OPERATORS ALIKE TO BE EXCELLENT FROM EVERY ANGLE.

Massai mara 3day safari and lake navaisha
We did a three day safari with meektrails and our guide antony.
We were picked up and dropped off at Nairobi airport all included in the price.
Our guide was antony who was excellent throughout in being flexible and getting us to see all the big amimals and the small ones aswell!
Game drives in the massai mara are an incredible experience and would recommend to anyone, especially worth getting up early for the dawn drives as this is when the animals are most active.
Lake navaisha was good but less spectacular although worth the visit if you have time. We stayed at AA lodge which was functional and reasonable but not luxurious.

Experience of a lifetime!
I am beyond pleased with my experience with Tekko. Risper and her team were highly accommodating and wonderful to work with in the planning stages.
We had the time of our lives on our four day safari in Massai Mara, and stayed at the Mara Serena. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Our guide James was incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond. I was shocked with how much wildlife we saw in such a short amount of time!
Tekko offers a very reasonable rate for their tours compared to others, and I would absolutely recommend.

Excellent tour operator
Ower/Director Patrick planned the trip to perfection. We started at the Skukuza camp for a night, to participate the night drive and the next morning' walk. The night drive led us to a lion couple resting in the wood! We then moved to the Sabi Sabi private reserve. Great experience there! Food, lodging, AND game viewing are all perfect. To top the experience, we had a private Panorama route trip. The scenery of the route is magnificent. Our guide/drive Willem is courteous, and very knowledgeable. We truly had a trip of lifetime.
Patrick as our agent is patient, explaining everything in detail clearly. He's everything one can expect from a tour operator. Highly recommended.

Great itinerary, wonderful guide, professional service
My husband and I did a 7 day / 6 night safari. It was a trip of a lifetime. Allan was extremely prompt in responding to queries and everything was well organized as agreed. Our driver Elliott was wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the animals and a good driver on the Kenyan roads which were often in bad condition.
The highlight of our trip was staying at the Serena lodge at Tsavo West overlooking the waterhole. We also enjoyed our stay at the Sopa lodge in Nakaru (amazing view) and Keekorok lodge at Masai Mara (with a hippo pool). The food at all the lodges was delicious and varied. 2 of the lodges (Kibo at Amboseli and Aruba at Tsavo East) did not have WiFi in the rooms but that was a minor inconvenience
We were lucky to see over 25 lions at very close range during our safari as well as dozens of elephants and other wild life.
The only thing I would change is getting a 4 wheel vehicle next time as the roads (especially near Amboseli) are terrible.
I highly recommend Back of Africa. They provided great service and value. Allan was efficient and well organized and we highly recommend our driver Elliott

Great safari experience
We did a 5 day safari, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hell’s Gate National Park in a budget accomodation. The acommodation and food were better than expected (vegetarian options always available).
The safari was amazing, we saw the big 5 and many more animals. Our driver in Masai Mara was not very talkative, but for the rest of the safari we went with Jack and he was the best. He taught us so many things not only about animals but also about trees and life in Kenya. Always with a smile on his face.
I just wish the order of the parks were inverse, as you start with the best.
My recomendation: choose jeep instead of a van. It is much more comfortable and the windows are bigger. Plus, some roads in Masai Mara were difficult without a 4x4.

3 unforgettable days
We did 3 days in Ruaha National Park in early October and it was an unforgettable experience! We have seen many animals, for example the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the eagle, the buffalo, the hippo, the python, the antelope and many others!
Both breakfast, lunch and dinner included in the price are excellent and substantial.
Michael picked us up at our facility in Iringa and accompanied us throughout the tour. He is a very prepared guy, passionate about his work, nice, reliable, punctual, available and knows very well the habits and behaviors of animals ... I absolutely recommend him !!!
I will come back and will definitely contact you and Michael! Thank you!
