Well organised with brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly guide
We landed in Nairobi after 2am and our guide, John, was waiting there with a smile, despite significant delays in our arrival time. He greeted us with a friendliness that he kept going for the duration of our ten day trip. Tim was our contact point for bookings and he kept in touch with my husband via WhatsApp in the lead-up to our trip, ensuring we had the correct vaccinations and that our trip was tailored to our needs.
The trip itself was incredible. We visited five national parks and saw every animal we wanted to see. The road trips between each park were long but suitably broken up with washroom stops, coffee,etc, so we never felt exhausted by our travel, thanks to our knowledgeable and helpful guide.
Each park was extremely special in its own way and thanks to Makiwa Kenya Safaris, we had what we perceived to be the best guide in the park. John ensured we got front row seats to everything that was going on and, if we wanted to see a specific animal, we could guarantee we'd see it with John.
Lions? John will find them. Cheetah with cubs? John already knows where they'll be. Entire pack of hyenas? John knows where they like to hang out. He even found us in the middle of the Masai Mara when we went our separate ways for a balloon ride. He could identify every bird and see through any animal's camouflage. He could manoeuvre any terrain to get us to the best viewing spots.
Makiwa Kenya Safaris took care of absolutely everything, from accommodation to extra activities such as a balloon ride over Masai Mara, which was amazing. They organised a boat ride on Lake Naivasha and trips to visit the Samburu and Masai tribes.
We arrived in Kenya, tired and cranky, thanks to major delays in Dublin airport. We left Kenya with amazing memories thanks to John, who ensured we missed out on absolutely nothing during our ten days in Africa.
Thanks to John, Tim and the whole team for such an amazing experience. We will definitely be back.

Good and willing to tailor your trip to Kenya to suite your individual requirements
John our guide was brilliant. He did everything possible to make our Safari a memory never to be forgotten. He was friendly and knowledgeable about all the different animals we encountered in the safari parks.The balloons trip should not be missed on any account!. Our ten day safari trip went by very fast. Time flies when you are having a good time.To sun up it was an amazing experience and money well spent.

Best you can get
They really transform the safari to your needs. If you are a photo geek, they are willing to stay as long as you want at a place or move back 5m and than 2m forward and than back again

Well organised and reliable
It was a great experience to travel in Uganda with Grassrootz Adventures Uganda. The tour was very well organised by Sander van Zanten and our guide/ driver Bob Magezi was great. For me and my family was our tour in Uganda a lifetime memory. I recommend this organisation!

Very Genuine & extermely informative guide / driver
Tekko Tours is a very genuine tour operators. They provided crystal clear trip itinerary & there were no discrepancies or hidden surprises which we experienced during our trip. Risper from Tekko Tour was absolutely a delight to work with & she provide immense amount of information enabling us to plan this wonderful trip. Our guide & driver Stephen has plethora of knowledge about the native flora & fauna , besides that he is a wonderful person at heart, true gentleman. He is a naturalist at heart & has tremendous knowledge about each tree & bird in region. We had a wonderful experience travelling with him & saw all the big fives during our trip to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Lake Navasa. They gave us a 4 x 4 Landcrusier which was slightly old & seats coukd have been better but worked well for us. Overall will rate it as 5 star as we had a fabulous experience thanks to Risper & Stephen from Tekko Tours.
