Summary:

We really wanted to provide a comprehensive review of our Kenyan safari tour with Afrikan Accent Adventures (“AAA”) as they without doubt made it the trip of a lifetime for us. In summary, we couldn’t recommend more strongly that anyone looking for a safari tour operator book with AAA.
Hellen (company manager), Nico (our safari guide and driver) and Mike (guide in Nairobi) were all absolutely superb, and the service and support they provided from initial contact right through to drop off was simply first class. We feel that for such an impeccable client service, and for the time, the price provided very good value.

Itinerary:

Hellen dedicated significant time up front to prepare a bespoke safari itinerary which was meticulously planned to tick off everything we wanted to see. Note this was done before any payment obligation so her time up front was very much appreciated. She worked hard to ensure the accommodation we wanted was all booked for us, despite us booking relatively late and some of the places were seemingly already fully booked.

You could spend a month at the places we went, but given the limited time we had Hellen managed to pack in as much as possible without overloading it, so it didn’t feel rushed.
Nico was excellent throughout at ensuring we kept to our schedule and arrived on with enough time to enjoy everything that was planned.

AAA also lined up other great tours within our itinerary: Joseph’s bike tour at Hells Gate, the Crescent Island boat tour, and the Maasai village tour.

Communication and support:

We cannot thank Hellen enough for her outstanding customer service. She was very clear in communication throughout and responded very quickly to our initial queries (seemingly at all hours!) She answered all tour/support related queries we had before booking and throughout our tour. She worked with me on a bank transfer payment issue I had for the deposit and liaised with our first hotel to retrieve a lost kindle.
She was an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Nico was extremely knowledgeable on each of the parks and the flora and fauna at each, constantly providing info throughout. He was more than happy to answer any questions we had. He was also happy to talk to us about the culture of Kenya - the tribes, languages, politics and religion of each area we visited - which really added colour and extra interest throughout our trip.

For the avoidance of doubt, Hellen and Nico both speak very good English.

Our guide:

Nico has been guiding safari tours for 12 years and you can tell. In addition to his excellent knowledge and communication throughout, Nico had a real knack of getting our vehicle in the right place at the right time, ensuring we were situated perfectly to see animal crossings, get as close as possible (whilst being respective of the animals) and take some wonderful photos. At some of the animal spotting there can end up being a lot of vehicles on site, so AAA really impressed us with this.

Vehicle:

It was very important that we were in a 4x4 vehicle rather than a mini bus. Hellen provided us with photos and details on the vehicle up front. On arrival it didn’t disappoint.

The vehicle was clean and well maintained - there were absolutely no issues with it dealing with the extreme terrain. It was spacious - 6 seats (though there were only 2 of us!), all the windows were big and opened easily, and the pop up roof was great.

Some of the roads can be extremely rough both on safari and in transit. I occasionally suffer with a bad lower back but have to say the seats were extremely comfortable and absorbed a lot of the shocks, this was very important given how long you do sit on these trips.

Note there is no air conditioning in the vehicle, but the ‘African air con’ (opened windows) generally kept us cool enough.

Cost:

We were looking for a mid range tour, staying in lodges throughout.

AAA were very competitive with the price quoted for the overall tour and we feel they provided exceptional value for money. Whilst we can’t comment on other tour companies, we can’t imagine that they would have been able to provide an improved service, and some of them quoted a significantly higher price for a similar length mid range trip.

Company Name:

When initially contacting and booking we had noticed that there was a discrepancy with the company name ‘Afrikan Accent Adventures’ and the name on some of the review sites. Hellen informed us that this is simply due to the difficulty they have faced trying to change the name on these sites since she went full time with her business. Please do not be put off by this, and we hope Hellen can get this sorted as soon as possible as it would be a real shame if this put some people off from having an otherwise wonderful experience with AAA.

Extras:

They think of everything! Early morning starts can be quite chilly so a customised Maasai shuck (blanket) was provided to each of us. Likewise it gets very hot and sunny during the day, so they also provide a good quality safari hat.

They are very environmentally conscious, so provided us with customised metal bottled and ample water. It was handy that our names were on the metal bottled provided to avoid confusion between who’s was who’s.

Hellen also went above and beyond to make our trip extra special by arranging a special surprise for my partner’s 30th birthday in the lodges. This also resulted in us receiving room upgrades.


Thanks again Hellen, Nico and Mike for everything and best of luck. We very much hope to see you again.

Amazing experience
5/5

We had a truly wonderful safari with Afrikan Accent. From the beginning, Hellen has always been very professional and prompt in answering all our questions. She personally came to greet us at the beginning and end of the safari to make sure everything was in order. Our driver Michael was also great and made sure we are well taken care of. In short, we will definitely go with them again if we return to Kenya and would not hesitate recommending this company to anyone.

Incredible safari, everything was perfect!
5/5

The safari was magical! A big thank you to Hellen for being attentive and responsive to every request. Huge thanks to our driver, Nic, who gave 100% to ensure we saw all the amazing wildlife in Kenya, all while creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!

the best you can get out there
5/5

Nico was our driver and he was absolutely great. Was willing to go the extra mile for us, no complaining, he had all the time very positive mindset and what’s most important - he had very good knowledge about all the animals and plants in the park! Couldn’t have wished for a better driver for those 5 days. Car was clean and very nice as well.

Family trip to Masai Mara-Abai Afrikan was the best choice we have ever made!
5/5

Best in communicating, very cordial and appropriately professional.
We were very happy dealing with Hellen.
She was amazing, knowledgeable, and organized the whole 2-night 3-day trip perfectly. The safari guide, Recko was a perfect choice-took us to all best possible places to see the wild animals.
We will be looking for Hellen over and over again to organize all our future trips to East Africa.
