Trip of a lifetime
I had a wonderful trip with Adventure Africa, who took care of me and five friends for six days climbing Kilimanjaro via the Rongai route. The trip felt much more luxurious than I was expecting, with absolutely delicious food, warm water to wash, and great service. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and very supportive - we all made it to the top which would not have happened without them! Making it up kili meant a lot to us and the journey was more special than I could have imagined, thank you.

This was my 2nd trip with Adventure Africa; as before everything from guides to safaris was perfect.
Prior to flying to Africa, both of my trips (2010, 2012) were completely organized via email communication with Dickson, of Adventure Africa Expedition. I felt 100% confident with all of the arrangements that were made. His suggestions, coordination of trips and safaris, and accommodations booked were perfect.
Places that I visited and things that I did: Kilimanjaro was climbed via the Machame route; Masai Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, Amboseli National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Manyara National Park, Samburu Park, and Ol Pejeta Conservancy were toured using a safari vehicle; hiking was done in Aberdare National Park as well as a five day hiking safari in the Loita Hills; a week was spent volunteering at an orphanage in Migwani; a Maasai village was toured; and an elephant nursery and a giraffe centre were visited while in Nairobi.
Adventure Africa Expedition's staff are excellent, they know their animals, birds, and plants. They are courteous and polite. The cooks make excellent meals on safari.
I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Adventure Africa Expedition.

Wonderful experience, very well organized
Prior to flying to Africa, Dickson organized me the 2 days Masai Mara Safari via email communication, and everything became as it was expected. I felt very confident with all of the arrangements that he made.
The moments in Safari Mara were excellent and the accomodation and organization of the two days were very good, without any incident.
I recommend absolutely Adventure Africa Expedition for any trip to Kenya and I would like to thank Dickson for his support.

Very Well Organized, and very helpful staff
I was in Kenya in the month of January 2015 for a Exhibition. I had some free days during the trip so i decided to go to Mount Kenya. I got to know about Adventure Africa on the internet and i called Mr. Dickson. He came to meet me at my Stall and gave me all the Details for Mount Kenya and also what i would need. There were a few things i did not have like shoes and some other small things. He arranged everything for me. On the trek also the staff he had provided (Gudie and a cook) were Very helpful. The guide would show and explain me a lot of things and the food cooked by Elijah(cook) was superb.
Overall had a wonderful Experience.

Very well organized, friendly staff, professionals.
I booked several times with advenafrica, from just a car till a whole safari for 3 weeks.
I also climbed mounth kilimanjaro with them.
The communication is very good, fast reactions on mail. Fair prices. I travelled both Kenya and Tanzania with them. what was important for me, was the fair treatment and respect for all his employees.

Prompt Response and Good, Trustworthy Service - What more can you ask for!
If you are a first-timer in Africa, or in a safari trip and you need a person to attend to your needs immediately and without any hesitation, Dickson is your guy! This man is someone you can totally trust. This company is legit and will definitely give you what they have promised. They can tailor-fit your itinerary based on your schedule and budget. These guys are a one-stop shop for everything Africa you need.
The entire staff of Adventure Africa Expedition are all very articulate, helpful and warm. Though some services need a bit of refinement (i.e. the van we rode to the safari is a bit shabby now), they're all still very forgivable. The service of the staff is remarkable and worth praising.
Will definitely book my trip with AAE very soon!

Lifetime awesome Safari experience with Adventure Africa expedition for Kenya and Tanzania Safari
We had a wonderful trip with this company through the help of Dickson, they took care of us for our entire 12 days Safari Kenya and Tanzania. The trip was much more luxury than we thought and considering it was the first safari with them we were hesitant to pay the deposit as they required but after several emails we found that they are worthy trust for their instant response in emails. Ephraim who was our driver picked us up from the hotel on time and that was the order of the day for the entire Kenya Safari before he dropped us at the border from Amboseli. We had good experience on Kenyan part and especially in accommodation and delicious food which was prepared every day by the cook. The driver guide was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us, he answered all our question though sometimes we could not understand clearly not unless you are very keen and especially when the Radio is on.
One thing we observed its quite important to tell the driver to switch off the radio and the engine especially when you want to record a video to avoid the background sound from the engine.
Tanzania part was ok but you will be shocked by the difference in camping. In Kenya camping is much more luxury as compared to Tanzania, we had to use basic tents in Serengeti and the shower and toilets are outside the tents, this is one point should be clear before booking Tanzania camping safari. It was completely budget, we were provided with sleeping bags, tents and everything which we required.
Everything worked very well for us and we have no regrets of booking our safari with Dickson or Adventure Africa Expedition. They have all you need and their information is accurate and prompt feedback.
In Kenya there are many safari operators and its hard to know if you have picked the best but for me it was definitely the best company for our holiday.. If you want a holiday of good price and quality ratio of what you have paid for think of Adventure Africa Expedition they are the best and tip top quality services from pick up point when you arrive.

A lot of personal attention
I had lived in east africa for several years and had gone on safari before, but our adult son had not. A Kenyan friend recommended Dickson and we were not disappointed. Most safari are showing you the same countryside and the same animals but Dickson gave a lot of personal attention to make sure everything went as planned. His driver was very friendly and a nice person to be with. Dickson selected a very nice lodge, but not the centrally located, high priced units. We took a Kenyan college student that had never been to the Mara with us. She was very impressed. It was a great time. I would recommend Dickson to any one.

Five day climbing Mt Kenya up Sirimon down Chogoria route
We had an excellent five days. Joseph was a really good guide and made sure we went at a reasonable pace to avoid altitude sickness. As such, no part of the hike at all seemed strenuous! The cook, Daniel was amazing. The food far exceeded my expectations and was really excellent. Overall the crew were top class and made it a great trip.
I appreciate the level of professionalism with which the whole process was handled It was very impressive. Overall it was great trip and excellent value for money
7-Day Trek Up Kilimanjaro
I found Adventure Africa a great company to deal with, their communication and advice was first class leading up to the Trek. Dickson (Owner of the company) came with us on the transfer from Nairobi to Moshi and spent the evening with us which was re-assuring. Our guides and porters whilst on the mountain were very helpful, they spoke great English and made the trek as comfortable as possible and joined in with the banter. The food whilst on the trek surprisingly very good indeed - far better than we were expecting. All transfers were on time and there were no hidden charges. The whole experience was amazing and our group was completely satisfied and have some wonderful memories. I would have no hesitation in recommending Adventure Africa
