Dear Zippy,
We can't believe, it has already passed a week since we left Kenia.
We will never forget such lifetime trip!
We want to thank you specially for organizing our dream safary trip, making it affordable for our family.
Thank you Nelson, for being such a well experience guide, spotting first and keeping the track on all animal species.
Also for being such a confident driver keeping the schedules.
Many thanks to Daniel our cook for spoiling us with local dishes and for introducing us to the culinary local food of Kenia.
We definitely think the trip adjust perfectly to our needs and we have had the opportunity to experience the country from the inside avoiding the crows.
We are happy to recommend Australken Tours & Travel Ltd. to friends and future visitors!

Thank you for all and may be see you next time.

Dear
Zippy!
Safari from 23.02.2017 to 03.03.2017
I am so happy, because your company help me my dream to fulfilled. I stopped anything to worry about as soon, when I met Zippy in Nairobi. People like your company is rarely seen in travel. Jakob cooked perfectly, always been
attentive to requests and helped with any needed things, and since I was traveling alone, his help was invaluable. His sports training can be jealous tried to keep up with him on the bike on Hell's Gate. Evans could see in the
reserve any animal and helped us to make good shots, he told us a lot interesting facts. Zippy is the best travel coordinator.
I want to say "Thank you" to people, who assisted me in my trip. I will definitely come back to Mombasa and visit the reserve, maybe not alone.
Best regards

Hi Zippy,
I am writing to tell you how happy we are that we chose Australken among many other agencies.
We liked everything - the way you care about your customers, how professional Peter, John and you.
The level of service you provide is something what many European companies should strive for.
We will definitely recommend Australken to anybody whenever we have such an opportunity.
Thank you again for the lifetime experience and we wish you all the luck in what you are doing!

Hi Zippy & Team
We enjoyed every minute of a truly memorable experience and as always, Symon was the perfect host and guide. We worked him especially hard on this trip and we do feel rather guilty about the very long hours he had to work and the hundreds of miles he drove.
It would be really difficult to pick out our favourite experience as we loved all of the parks. lodges & camps for different reasons. They all have their own charm and character (and in the case of Lake Elementeita, a very welcome touch of luxury). All in all, it will be even harder to choose an itinerary for our next trip (yes, we are already talking about when it will be and where to go!).
Rather belatedly then, thank you so much for another fabulous trip. We really do appreciate all of the time and effort that you put in to make sure that we have a wonderful time and that’s why we will keep coming back to you. Thank you too for the kind and generous gifts.
Please pass on our gratitude to Symon and tell him we will try not to be so tough on him next time.
We will post a review on Facebook in the next few weeks (when we have sorted through the hundreds of photographs).
We hope you are all keeping well.
Best wishes.

Hi Zippy,
My husband and I were back home safe and just want to say thank you to you,
Simon and Daniel once again. Simon and Daniel were both very professional. With
Simons super good eyesight, we were able to see everything in the national
parks and lakes. Besides, he was very knowledge and a good and patient guide.
Daniel prepared so much tasty food for us everyday and we could not finish
every time.
All the guesthouse and budget camps we stayed were neat and clean and that was
all beyond my expectation I would say!
It was a really good memory for both of me and my husband and I will definitely
look for you again next time we come over to Kenya or Tanzania!!
Have a good day!!

Hello
Dear Zippy,
I'm back in Europe, after a fabulous stay in Kenya.
I'd like to thank you very much for an amazing safari experience. You and your
great team – Evans (a brilliant guide) and John (the best cook ever) made my
6-day trip (27 July-1st August) to Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli
unforgettable. Even the last three days, when I was alone, were great!
I felt privileged to travel with Australken – it was simply enjoyable, since
the beginning till the end. Already from our first email exchanges, I had a
good feeling about your company – your answers were always coming rapidly,
always clear, helpful and to the point. Thank you for your very professional
approach and your friendly attitude!
The travel only confirmed the initial feeling. I saw a lot, I learnt a lot and
I enjoyed very much Kenyan wildlife, nature, people, the discussions and the
food. Sometimes I couldn't spot the animals Evans was showing (he can see them
from really far!), definitely I wasn't able to eat as much as I wished (meals
were delicious and copious), I took probably too many pictures (hard to select
them now - is this lion fierce enough? which of the zebras look better? is that
baby elephant playing or annoying its brothers and sisters? J) but I enjoyed
each and every moment of this trip. I can't but recommend your outstanding
service to any future traveller.
A big ASANTE SANA.

Hi
Zippy,
we made it safe home. We flew back via London not Amsterdam as I thought and
had the chance of trying Kenya Airways - yet another Kenyan great experience.
Both George and I would like to extend our many thanks for the exemplary
professional service. We simply cannot say enough good words and thanks for our
experience. It was a real pleasure to work with you and to travel with our
team- Symon (guide), Daniel (cook), and Kata (assistant). (We asked for Symon
and Daniel in advance and were so happy to find we were to travel with them).
We enjoyed tremendously our 14 day trip including the northern Kenya circuit up
to lake Turkana, and then lake Baringo, lake Nakuru, and Maasai Mara. From the
time of the booking to the very end we had nothing but wonderful experience.
Every detail was well thought of and arranged perfectly. We had a Land Rover
for the whole trip and unforgettable off-road experience.
We are very well traveled however were very anxious about our trip to Kenya
having had already a very bad experience earlier in the year in Tanzania. What
a nice surprise - we were not only given all requested as part of our trip but
even had things we did not expect- instead of sleeping in a tent in the 1st 10
days of our safary we were taken to great camps every night, had a room and a
hot shower. Every one was so friendly and hospitable.
Symon, our guide and driver, was amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable,
experienced, attentive, entertaining, friendly, level-headed, and very
dependable. We loved any single moment spent with him. He is an awesome guide
who simply loves his job, and gives everything from himself to assure best
clients' experience. There wouldn't be a signle question unanswered. He has a
great sense of humor and unbeatable way of telling stories (many stories and
all inetersting). What amazing time at the dinner table every night. He was
also quite patient (especially with the many pictures George was taking) and
would always go an extra mile for client's satisfaction. Thank you, Symon, we
were lucky to have you as a guide and we liked you so much.
Daniel was a great cook, preparing always tasty and diverse food. Every time I
would say that was too much food he would answer "no, no, just a little
bit. Hakuna Matata". And his pancakes...they were to die for. Soup,
salads, potatoes - all so much delicious, and always presented in a great way.
All in all - we had one in a lifetime experience and loved it all. We would
highly recommend Australken and our team to other customers. We would go back
to Kenya in a heartbeat.
THANK YOU AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR EVERYTHING.
Polina & George

Hello Zippy
Thanks again, is was a pleasure to do it with your team.
We had safari with Australken in June 2015 and it was like getting inside
Discovery channel :) Kenya’s nature and wildlife is amazing and with the help
of professional Australken team we’ve got a great chance to see it really close
and to know more about it.
E-mail contacts with Zippy for planning our vacation were always clear and
effective. Every question (including a stupid ones :)) was answered in details,
quickly and with patience. Zippy is very helpful and hospitable, it was a
pleasure to meet her in person. Upgrading mini-bus to Land Rover was a good
idea, it was unforgettable off-road experience for us.
Symon, our guide and driver, is a real treasure :) He is friendly, calm and
reliable, we always felt safe and comfortable with him. Symon is a great guide
loving his job, with ability to notice animals on any distance, knowing their
habits and telling a lot of interesting facts about them. He is experienced and
intelligent, knowing a lot about Kenya and Africa and with a good sense of
humor. He is also a skillful driver, sometimes it was like Camel Trophy :)
Thank you, Symon, we were lucky to have you as a guide and driver. Hope to do
it again.
Thanks to Daniel, the food was simple but always tasty. We’re already missing
morning pancakes and safari soup with ginger :) Special thanks from me for
fruits with every meal.
We’ll be back :)

Hello
Zippy
We are now back to
Belarus. And we wanted to write you a letter to say thank you for our exciting
trip. While planning the trip to Kenya we felt a bit worried because it was our
first experience of such kind of vacation.
But the first day of our trip we realized that there is nothing to worry about.
During all the trip we felt friendly and warm atmosphere in our small team.
Thank you for taking care of us.
Thanks a lot to Simon - he is a brilliant guide and a great guy! He showed us a
lot of animals, we made thousands photos. It was always interesting to talk to
him. Not only about National Parks and animals there but also about Kenyan
people, Kenya in general. Daniel was cooking great meals, thanks a lot to him
for this. We missed Daniel’s meal during our “beach” part of vacation. And we
wanted to thank you and Australken company for organizing this great trip .

Dear

Very happy to know that you are back, hope you had a nice and relaxing
vacation.
The trip was one of our best safari in Kenya. The hotel was very good and the
service was good though being full. Food was nice and the tents were very
clean. For the game drives, Moses was a great guide. Very helpful and
cooperative. He was very active in searching for animals with other guides and
very quick in moving and great in finding the right position to view and film
the animals. We have seen all animals in this area, he even insisted to make a
last game drive en route, just to show the ostrich to our youngest boy!
Once again, thanks to all the Australken team, to make our trips such
wonderful. Hope to travel with you again soon.

Dear
Zippy,
After five months which have just passed from our trip, we keep on remembering
how wonderful it was.
Unforgettable impressions, wonderful landscapes of Amboseli, Samburu – Nakuru –
and Masai Mara parks will stay in our memories for ever.
We would like to once again thank all the team for your exceptional warmth and
hospitality and excellent organisation of our safari (and what is more
important trouble-free re-organisation due to our delayed flight). Special
thanks from Kate for giving us the possibility to see Amboseli Park with
Kilimanjaro which was her dream. We appreciate perfect and professional program
execution by Symon and Daniel.
Traveling with Australken is safe and easy even for not experienced independent
travellers willing to follow a flexible route and to have good value for money.
Many of the references on Australken website confirmed also our experiences,
but we would like to particularly emphasize:
• the Australken team guaranteed us the highest level of safety - service door
to door (Airport- 7 days Safari- Airport) – what is very important
independently traveling women ;-)
• access to wide range of accommodation places from budget camping and hotels
to luxury lodge. Budget standard positively surprised us- specially that this
standard is not well enough described in the Polish travel guide, and honestly
speaking we expected much more difficult conditions.
• very professional and efficient team and good condition of the Jeep
Additionally, thanks to Symon’s passion and knowledge, it was the best and
unforgettable lesson about Kenya and its culture and nature. He also has
created for us unique possibilities for observation of courses and was
incredibly patient during our photo sessions. Thanks also to Daniel, who
prepared every day simple but tasty meals for us.
Already all our friends have been informed that Australken was the best choice.
In my plans there is another trip to Africa and of course it will be with
Australken ;-).

First of all, I want to let you know what an incredible time Sydney and I had
during our Kilimanjaro trek and safari last month. Our guides were excellent
and our adventure was spectacular. Since our safari ended I have been staying a
Arusha, working at the hospital. I have made several friends here who are
interested in different combinations of safari, Kilimanjaro treks, and
Zanzibar. I am hoping to refer them to Australken since I had such a wonderful
experience for an excellent price. Would it be best just to give them your
email address and have them contact you that way? We also all have Tanzanian
mobile phones, so we could also be in contact that way. Please let me know what
would be easiest! Unfortunately my last day in Africa is this Saturday, so I am
hoping to get them in contact with you before I leave. I look forward to
hearing from you!

Once again I want to thank you for the amazing experience you provided us. It
was better than expected, and yet our expectations were high… Daniel was always
full of joy and energy, always serviceable and his talents as a cook also
helped us go through the safari without a single stomach problem. Symon was
outstanding in all departments, endurant, focused, knowledgeable, understanding
of our needs, and with so much to talk about when challenged on any subject.
And we were also delighted at your promptitude to answer our smallest requests
and your really careful attention to our needs and feedback. You certainly know
more than most what customer service and satisfaction means!
I hope the coming months will leave you out of trouble and that you can develop
nicely as of the general elections have passed.

itineraries on your website, but also enthusiastic to tailor them to client
requests, like including a trip to Mfangano island, in our case.
Organization was good. All people were very nice to us. Our guide and cook
(Evans and Mwema) were qualified and sociable, they helped us with money
exchange and some pharmacy stuff. Food was tasty, including meat, fruits,
vegetables and soups. Places for night were better than we expected. There were
no water problems.
Places that we visited were interesting. Next time we'd probably choose 2-3 big
parks and stay for several days in each, to spend less time in driving. Most of
all we liked Nakuru, Masai Mara and Bogoria for animal observation, and Hell's
Gate for possibility of hiking and for pictorial views.
Thanks again for organizing our trip!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, your family and colleagues. Heri ya
Mwaka Mpya!

Welcome
Zippy,
We would like to thank you for a very nice and excellent service during our
stay in Kenya and the safari to your office we organized in October 2012.
That's what we did, it was very enjoyable and we are very impressed with the
professionalism of your tourist office "Australken".
Will remain in our memory care, especially during the birth of Eve, which is
the safari celebrated her 50th birthday. It was a lovely surprise and very
grateful for it.
Recommended for all your office "Australken" because it is worth it.
You are cordially greet Polish, from Czestochowa,

Hello
to all at Australken
We are back home after our eighth wonderful holiday in Kenya. As with our
previous trip with you in 2010, we would again like to thank you very much for
our fantastic safari experience. We got exactly what we wanted - a great
combination of game parks, lodges and camps as well as a bit of tourism in and
around Nairobi.
Poor Symon must have been exhausted by the
end of it all though as he had driven so many miles, whilst still being a
perfect host and pointing out so many things to us. After seven days, he waved
us off when we boarded the little plane at Mara Serena airstrip and we could
see him for a few seconds until we got too high. It was quite sad, but we do of
course have some marvellous memories. Also many thanks to Zippy for your
faultless and patient planning over the months that it took us to finally
decide on our itinerary.
What a formidable team you make!
So we will now be saving up for our next visit and will of course be seeking
your advice once again.
Best Wishes

Masai Mara – Hell’s Gate – Lake Nakuru
By requesting via de KATO website
offers for a 5 day safari, we received many offers. Only one draw our
attention, the offer from Zippy! She answered all our questions quickly and
gave us advise why to change itinerary we requested. We went on a 5 day budget
but private safari. First two nights Masai Mara, then one night Lake Naivasha,
to visit Hell’s Gate, and last night Lake Nakuru. Our driver/guide Joseph and
our cook John were both very friendly and helpful. We were very Lucky to see
everything (big five and more) in Mara (except for the rhino, but in Lake
Nakuru we saw many!).
A great variation was Hell’s gate. A recommodation if you like to be a bit more
active after days of gamedrives. Go early in the morning to the park. Bike with
a guide to the start of the gorge walk. Have a rest and do the walk of about
1.5 hours through a beautiful gorge. Pickup the bikes and ride the same way
back to the entrance. A perfect half day activity (in our eyes)
So our conclusion: book a tour @ Australken!
They are: professional, accurate, enthusiastic, sincere and you will get
personal attention.
Thanks Zippy, Joseph and John for beautiful and unforgetable 5 days!
Best Regards

Dear
Zippy,
As I promized, short summary of our tour.
My overall impression is very good , thank you for this vacation. Jozeph and
Daniel were positive, ready to help and tried to keep us happy. We even had
like a night safari game drive on the way from waterfalls to the Ark lodge.
Food was also good.
May be , as an advise- any music in the car during the long transfers between
parks could be a nice thing.
Thank you very much for the tour !

Hi
Zippy
Can't believe we have been home for just over a week already. Where does the
time go?
I have been meaning to email you since the evening we arrived home but to be
honest, I really didn't know where to start. I still can't quite believe our
experience and how great you all were.
We really couldn't have asked for a better service from the very start of our
planning the trip until we were queuing at the airport to return home.
You enabled us to have the experience we had imagined and more so thank you so
much for that. Your suggestions were perfect and we loved everywhere we went.
Even our last couple of days in Nairobi were planned perfectly. You took on
board what I said we wanted to do and see and you made it happen plus more.
Alex says it was all she wanted it to be. (even with the insects). We honestly
didn't have any issue with the van problems. It just all added to our
experience and didn't affect our holiday at all.
We had a brilliant experience and came to love the Kenyan people. It was an
honour to be in your country.
Symon was fantastic. His knowledge of the animals was amazing (and his
eyesight!) but it was his obvious enjoyment and love of the animals that made
him so special as a Guide. We have some amazing photos thanks to him. Please
thank him again from us.
Especially for all the hours he spent watching elephants with us.
I've tried making cabbage like Daniel's twice since I got home but it has been
nothing like as good as his. We really enjoyed his cooking and were pleased to
try some local dishes. Shame his porridge only appeared on the last day though,
it was gorgeous. Alex is missing his eggs and pancakes.
We're not very vocal people so please tell Daniel and Symon again how grateful
we are to them and how much we enjoyed their company.
We will definitely recommend you to anyone we know who wants to visit Kenya.
However, please do let us know if there is anything we can do anytime to help
promote your company. As we said, we are happy for you to give our contact
details to anyone who wants references to your service. Please use our names
and any quotes you wish in your advertising.
Please accept a really massive Thank You from us all.
Love from,
Anne, Jonathan and Alexandra xxx Email: [mailto:anne.ridgway@ntlworld.com]

Dear Zippy,
Greetings from Polish.
We would like to thank you once again for the wonderful experience that we met

Hello
Zippy,
First of all we would like to thank you for the great time we had in Kenya
during our stay. From beginning to end, everything was according to the
schedule, the guys (Kyoko and Daniel) are a great team and it is evident that
they know what they do.
Simon asked us to let you know what can be highlighted in order to make some
improvements to your service, but honestly since this was a budget trip we were
not actually expecting to have any kind of luxury (fine dining, top lodge
accommodation, etc), but in the other side we would have appreciated to have
some options and better guidance in this aspect, for instance like if the guys
tell us you can eat in this restaurant and the prices are within this range or
this other one and this is are the prices and at the end we would be able to
choose. May be it can be something similar in regards to the accommodation. If
the time allows it, this can be done at the beginning after the arrival to the
airport during the briefing with Simon.
In any case, we understand that the schedule and the time was very tight, so we
preferred to accept the plan as it was coming, that at the end proved to be
just great.
Definitely, I think the best sign of success for you is to know that next year
we want to come back for more days and during the migration. So we expect to
keep in touch and plan things with more time.
Thanks again for everything.

Hi
Zippy,
Apologies for the delay in response - I have just finished my East Africa tour.
Thank you so much for an amazingly well organized and hospitable time in Kenya.
As a first timer to the country, the professionalism which Australken's staff
provided us was truly of high quality. From the moment we were picked up for
the safari to the delicious homecooked meals to the great conversations with
knowledgable answers, we felt very comfortable the entire trip. The true
generosity and high responsiveness of Zippy, Daniel and Evans are true assets
to the company. I would highly recommend Australken Tours & Travel to
anyone wishing to experience Kenya!
All the best,

Many thanks to Joseph and Daniel for their assistance and friendly manners. I

friendly and, of cause, worth seeing country.
Some of my friends are asking when the raining season is over and when is
possible to visit Kenia this year?
Thanks again. Wish u luck!

Dear
Zippy! Australken Tours & Travel Ltd Safari company made our dreams come
true
(as corny as that sounds, it is true.) We booked our safari with Australken
after much research and felt like we hit the lottery by choosing them. We were
dealing with “Zippy” and it is a rare occasion to have customer service as fantastic
as hers. Booking a safari from across the world is intimidating, especially
with all the warnings etc that you read. We were hesitant to book before we
arrived in Nairobi. But from the moment I was in first contact, to the moment
we hugged at the end of the trip – the service from Zippy was outstanding. My
husband and I were looking for a budget safari though Kenya. We starting
looking at a 3-4 day and ended up booking a 7 day safari. It was a lot less
expensive than all of the other companies we researched, in fact we got a few
extra days for the same price as others for the same itinery. We worried that
we would sacrifice quality for quantity – but we had nothing to worry
about…from the first minute to the last we were blown away with everything about
our safari. I am so thankful that we did not book with one of the overpriced
companies, because I doubt they would have been able to outdo the trip we had
with Australken. Our specific safari began in Nairobi where the tour company
picked us up. Then proceeded to drive us to a day tour that we had planned for
the day before our actual safari began. This was above and beyond. Our 7 day
safari began when we were picked up the following day by our driver/guide
(Simon) and cook (Jon). Both of which made us feel very comfortable from the
start – they were easy to get along with and fun to be around. We drove from
Nairobi to Amboseli. Then Amboseli to Lake Naivasha. From Naivasha to Lake
Bogoria and Lake Baringo. From Baringo to Lake Nakuru and then from Nakuru to
the Maasai Mara. We covered all the national parks that we wanted to visit.
First of all, we were by ourselves…just my husband and I and the driver and
cook. This is by far the best way to go. (The only way to go in our books – so
the price of the safari was an even better deal considering it was private).
The safari van that we were in was a good van, with pop up roof. Our
accommodation for our budget safari far exceeded our expectations. We were
under the impression it would be tents. Yet, every night of the safari we were
in a private “cabin” with a private washroom (toilet and shower). The
driver/guide “Simon” was FANTASTIC! We have nothing but amazing things to say
about him. The knowledge that he expressed was phenomenal. And he went out of
his way to stop while we were driving to show us things we would have never
noticed or known to look for. He was able to find/show us every animal that we
wanted to see…and not only did we see everything we dreamed we would see…we saw
it numerous times. 3 Cheetah sightings!!! Too many lions to count..we joke that
we did not see the Big 5 – but the Big 500!! We just saw so much!!….Everything
under the African sun we saw more than enough of. Our cook “Jon” made wonderful
meals. He always had special meals prepared for us and we really enjoyed his
great service. We called it “Jon’s magic.” And we were sad when the safari
ended and we had go to restaurants. We also worried about getting sick (of
course, being in a different country), but we always felt full, satisfied and
healthy and happy. The food was great. The only thing is that we would have
preferred more traditional dishes…but we like to be adventurous with our meals
while traveling and I had not mentioned that when I was booking the trip, I
would for next time though. We not only were given a dream fulfilling safari,
but this company went out of their way to help with our other travel plans
while we were in Kenya – after the safari was finished. When I was booking I
asked Zippy for help with flights when in Kenya and train bookings, as well as
visa assistance. She was able to get us the flights and train tickets that we
required to get to our other destinations. She did this with NO EXTRA CHARGE.
They dropped us off at the hotel in Nairobi, and then even picked us up the
following day to drive us to the airport. She had all of our tickets booked and
ready. WOW!!! Totally unexpected and exceptional service. We were blown away
with all that they did to provide us with what was probably the best customer
service my husband and I had ever received. What I am trying to get across
is…if you are booking a safari in Kenya (or Tanzania, Uganda or Rwanda)…book
with Australken!!! We can not thank them enough for making our trip, the trip
of our dreams. They were professional from the first contact to the last…We
felt like they put your hearts into the safari and service and did an
outstanding job making us feel comfortable, see everything we dreamed of, they
made our trip to Kenya more than memorable…it was the trip of a lifetime and we
are forever grateful for all the care, concern and outstanding service they
provided to us. If you have questions or anything regarding this company –
please email me.

Thank you so much to you for your care from the first our meeting - after your
two hours waiting of our latecomer bus from Kampala and till last minutes our
visit – our telephone conversation at 5 a.m. near to Nairobi airport. Thanks a
lot and please forward our greetings to your lovely team - Livingstone and
Daniel for making this safari the best moments of our life! It was way better
than all I had ever waited of! Camping was good, and everything was perfect
really!
Livingstone was the perfect guide for us, very good driver, very interesting,
and very respectful of the people, the environment and the animals, which I
really appreciated.
Daniel's cooking was delicious; they did their best to please us as much as
they could. More of two month passed since our return from the Kenya and was
not one day that we don't remembered about our travel to Kenya. And this letter
is confirmation of this. It is unforgettable! I have been truly touched by you
and your crew's kindness, and can't wait to come back and travel with
Australken again. Be sure I'll recommend you to everyone wanting to travel to
East Africa Thank you very much!

very tired.

Dear
Zippy,
Thanks for your follow up. It is a pity that we didn't meet. But Simon had been
very responsible, he came to greet us before the trip, explain things and also
we appreciate very much that he had taken the trouble willingly to drive us to
the airport for departure flights in two batches on the same evening.
We had a really enjoyable trip to the safari and also the climb up to
Kilimanjaro. I would like to extend my thanks to:
Michael - He is very knowledgeable and he spotted the wild animals from far. He
had been diligent and professional, even after long and tiring drives to the
campsites, he immediately drove us to the national parks for game watching.
Joseph - We enjoyed very much his cooking, the food prepared was in high
standard and very delicious. Even the packed lunch was prepared by heart.
Daniel - He is a very good guide to the mountain. For me, without him, I would
never make it to Gilman's point. He walked behind me with lots of
encouragement.
Wence - The Kilimanjaro climb had been arranged orderly and professionally.
I must say that the services provided by your company are good overall. This
trip had given me a different impression of Africa or I should say Kenya in
general.
May God bless the country and gospel continues to blossom. My best wish also
for you and your family.

Everything was perfect, and I am very happy with your services. In particular,
it was very nice of Symon to let us leave our luggage in your office and
organise us transportation to the airport late in the evening as it gave us
chance to explore Nairobi. And we could learn that Nairobi is a really friendly
city, completely not how I had imagined it before I arrived.
And we were also very happy with Michael, our guide who was very helpful,
knowledgable and enthusiastic about spotting animals in the park. (and his
language skills are amazing).
I would definitely recommend you to other travellers, as you are very
professional and I got the feeling that you are not just doing your job, but
really putting a lot of effort to make the customer happy.

Dear

We are few days late but Selena and I are both home safely. Just a bit booked
in past few days with the work we missed during our holiday.
Wish everything is running fine with you, the company and Symon (we know he is
on his long holiday to recover after spending 12 day with us) as well. We have
spent some decent time with our family and explained to them the amazement we
experienced in Kenya. They are all convinced about Kenya by browsing the photos
we took and the stories we had. Guess we might visit later with a bit bigger
group, all girls (poooooor Symon).
Again, would like to express the appreciation of ours for the wonderful
arrangement of our tour as well as the gifts you gave to us. You are the best
contact we have ever met, so sufficient and organized. Thanks to brilliant
Symon who made a great teacher to us, making our eyes wide open to the wildlife
with his patience and passion. Using his superb radar, he managed to let Selena
and I meet the wildlife of all sorts, cheetah, leopard and etc. How he could
spot the wildlife in a distance remains a mystery to us (haaa<85>)
Hard to put our thanks in words, indeed. Selena and I would be planning to
return to Kenya for migration next year or a year later. We keep in contact! By
the way, if there is a chance for you and Symon to visit HK or Taiwan, be our
guest<85>

I just wanted to drop you a quick email following our return to the UK to say a
big thank you for organising such a wonderful trip. From my initial email
inquiry you were accommodating and helpful, detailing various options and
ultimately tailoring the trip exactly to our needs.
Symon was a brilliant guide and made the safari experience fantastic - he was a
superb tracker and 'spotter' and had such a vast knowledge of the animals and
environment we learnt a huge amount. It was a great surprise to meet up with
him again in Nairobi when we had our city tour. It was also really nice to meet
up with you and thank you again for the lovely presents you gave us, we got
everything home safely including the giraffe and hippo!
We will definitely recommend you to any friends considering a trip to Kenya.

come again for another safari.
When the time comes I will contact you.
Maybe then with family or alone again. Even now that's very nice.
All of greetings from cold Germany. Also by FOX from Tanzania Nicole

Dear
Zippy!
Once again I want to tell you and Michael thank you so much! Our trip turned
out like this, about which we dreamed.
A birthday in the bush has surpassed all our expectations! We would like to
come to Kenya again, because you still have a lot of interesting places to
visit which we did not have time for this trip.
Of course, we will gladly use your services again and will recommend you to all
our friends!
Wish you all the best,
Elena, Vasily, Tatiana and Pavel

Dear
Zippy,
We are now safely home after a wonderful holiday and the best safari ever!
We would just like to thank you all, especially you, Zippy, for your patience
with our constant indecision and your organisational skills, prompt responses
and advice prior to our visit to Kenya. We really must also say a huge thank
you to Symon for his tremendous driving skills and vast knowledge of his
beautiful country and its wildlife, which he generously shared. In Mombasa,
Mark too was a credit to the company. For two of our party, it was their first
time in Kenya and their first time on safari. What an introduction to the
country and to some of your Parks they had!
We always felt safe and every aspect of our stay seemed to have been considered
and made perfect. We knew that our plan to visit the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant
Orphanage in Nairobi, Aberdares, Samburu, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara would
be demanding but you tailored our itinerary to perfection. We didn't waste a
second but we had plenty of rests too. Unfortunately, we had to hurry to catch
a flight at the end and don't feel as if we thanked Symon properly for all his
attention to detail or for the gifts which he gave us on behalf of the company.
What a lovely thoughtful added bonus! Our only complaint is that it all went by
too quickly!
What more can we say?! We are already saving to come back. We have been on many
safaris without you but we hope to do many more with you from now on!
Very best regards,
Jan and Chris Wujiw.

Many greetings from cold Poland. Thank you one more time for unforgetable
safari in Masai Mara. The market near your office (which you showed us through
your window) was great, we bought there everything we need. Thank you very
much, best regards also for Michael.
We wish you all the best and we hope to see you someday again:-)

we would like to say you again the words of our appreciation. The safari was
organized and implemented very interesting and without any problem. Also we
would like to note a zeal of driver and cook. We had absolutely different
breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. And Symon showed to us in fact all
animals which we want to see. We even saw leopard :)
So we will be recommend your company to our frends who will go to Kenya.

Hello
Zippy!
Sorry for being late with the response to unforgettable experience which you
gave us in Kenya. It really took time to pick over our best pictures, to gift
all the souvenirs to our friends and to tell them the story of our true
adventures. The "Olympic winner" shock is calmed down and finally we
realized what an amazing trip we did together!
We are really happy to remember our days in Kenya. Katya can't forget the
plenty of animals which we met in parks, though she can't recall the names even
for the half of them (especially birds)! Vitali's best t-shirt now is one which
we bought in Nukumat with an elephant on it and the strange words "Mwenye
Nguvu" (we didn't find what it means but it made laugh a policeman when we
passed our passport control in Kenyatta). As for me I would consider this trip
the best one in my life, not only because of all these exotic wildlife, plants
and even people around you but also because of the state-of-the-art tour
organization where every tiny detail was thought-out.
Thank you very much for the experience that allowed us to feel the real spirit
of Africa! If we had a chance to live this summer again we would definitely go
to Kenya with Australken!
Please send our best to Symon (who is a real animal professor) and Daniel (who
one day will work as a chef for the most respectable restaurants in Africa)!
I've attached several pictures to this mail. We believe they could find their
place in your excellent customer's book. Also we made up an album for our
friends where you could see more pictures: http://picasaweb.google.ru/109134979720396660456/2010#slideshow/5501794902080494066.

nature and unique people. Best regards and big asante sana to Mwai and Mwangi
for showing us all the animals and delicious meals on safari. You are the best
crew!
Best regards and big asante sana to Mwita for showing us the Nairobi and the
knowledge about your culture. Asante for Kisuahili lessons!

Dear

Sorry about the delay in writing, but I had to go to Switzerland the day after
I returned from Kenya, and have only just got back.
I wanted to thank you ever so much for the beautiful presents you gave me when
we met in Nairobi – quite unexpected, and very special, just as our whole
experience was. We are thoroughly delighted with our holiday of a lifetime, and
will treasure the memories of your very beautiful country.
Please thank Symon again for looking after us so well during our wonderful
safari. We wish you and the business every success in the future, and will
gladly recommend your service to anyone who is contemplating such a trip.
I now look forward to coming back to Kenya in August 2012 – it will be a very
busy time for me with the conference, but I hope I may manage to fit just a
short break before or after. Will be in touch nearer the time!!!
In peace and friendship

Returned yesterday as planned from our wonderful trip to Kenya, and now just
wanted to say a very big Asante to you.
The trip was everything, and more, we could have hoped for. We saw so many
animals, including the Big Five, and the Kenyan landscape appeared just
magical. All the hotels were excellent - service and staff were faultless. The
whole week was further enhanced by wonderful Symon, whose knowledge and ability
(not to mention patience with us) was truely awesome. What a Star! Please do
convey our thanks to him again.
Big thank you also for your very kind gift of the beautiful bowls and t-shirts.
You have helped give us memories that will last a lifetime.
We could not wish for more - other than to return to Kenya as soon as possible.

Hello
Zippy,
I arrived back in the UK wishing I could return to Kenya the next morning. I
had a fantastic time on Safari and must thank Joseph and Michael for making my
trip so memorable. As a single woman traveling alone I was a little anxious but
they both made me feel very comfortable and were extremely professional. Their
knowledge was outstanding and I not only learnt a great deal about the animals
we spotted but also about Kenya, its history and culture. I would fully
recommend using Australken Tours and Travel and I would definitely book with
you again. Thank you for my present too that was most unexpected and a very
pleasant surprise.
Take Care

As I have mentioned during our last talk, the level of care, comfort and
overall client management on your part have surpassed all reasonable (and
sometimes unreasonable) expectations and this is greatly appreciated. Marina
sends her special thanks for the plate (which we have managed to get home
safely) and other memorable gifts which undoubtedly will find place in our
home. What is more important, we have managed to bring back beautiful memories
of a wonderful country and its people, which undoubtedly did find their place
in our hearts. Thanks again for unforgettable vacation.
Good luck in life and business, and I sincerely hope that we get in touch some
time, once appropriate occasion takes place.

Symon and Joseph for making this safari the time of my life !! It was way
better than all I had ever dreamed of !! We have been treated like queens by
everybody, "camping" was more than luxurious, and everything was
perfect really ! Symon was the perfect guide for us, very good driver, very
interesting, and very respectful of the people, the environment and the
animals, which I really appreciated. Joseph's cooking was delicious, they did
their best to please us as much as they could. And Symon fulfilled my most
cherished dream with the big cats !! Unforgettable !! I have been truly touched
by you and your crew's kindness, and can't wait to come back and travel with
Australken again, and, who knows, make Kenya my new home ! Be sure I'll
recommend you to everyone wanting to travel to East Africa . I wish you a very
good season ; long live Australken !!

Please say hello and thank you to them too.
For Natia and Zura the Malindi section was too short of course but they still
had a chance to appreciate a bit of beach holiday and Kenya sunshine. Levan and
myself had a wonderful time there. We in addition did some scuba diving
for the first time in our lives. It really was great.
We all wish you Merry Christmas and a happy new year...
Just another thing I forgot to mention, we were all impressed by Symon's
knowledge and understanding of many different things we might have wanted to
