A SAFARI AND AN ASCENT OF KILIMANJARO THAT BLEW EVERYONE AWAY
Four friends and I recently returned from a most wonderful adventure in Kenya and Tanzania organized by Dickson and Adventure Africa Expeditions. My friends were "blown away" by our wildlife safari in Kenya and then the climb of Kilimanjaro and finally 3 days on Zanzibar. But visits to the giraffe centre and elephant orphanage near Nairobi, a tour of a spice farm on Zanzibar and meeting local people were great added experiences. It was the first visit to Africa for the others, although I had been before. I did a similar trip with Dickson and Adventure Africa in 2011 with other friends and felt enthused and looked forward to another trip with Adventure Africa.
Our guide, James, for our safari to Masa Mara, Amboseli and other locations was very knowledge and is to be highly recommended. James led us to wonderful encounters with lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, vultures and much more but nothing surpassed our 1.5 hour encounter with 2 wandering leopards. James also knew the birds we saw and the variety of trees and other vegetation. He was excellent! Our accommodations and food were first class.
Our ascent of Kilimanjaro, led by our guide, Siraji, and his assistants, could not have been better. We ascended the Machame route to the Shira Plateau, then spent 3 days traversing the southern slope of Kilimanjaro. We passed the Lava Tower, Barranco Camp, Karanga Camp and on to the Barafu Camp while getting acclimatized to the high elevation. Then it was the night ascent to the top. Despite an average age of 65 we made the top with no headaches, nausea or other altitude effects although saw people in other groups struggling or even having to give up and turn around. Although less than perfect weather (except for the ascent to the top) our guides, porters and cooks did a fantastic job of looking after us. The tents and food were great. We could not thank Siraji and his crew enough for the good time and successful climb.
In short, we would strongly recommend Dickson and Adventure Africa Expeditions for a wonderful and varied adventure in East Africa.

Everything exceeded our expectations - accommodation, team, experience, food - everything
The Adventure Africa team were informative and responded quickly before the trip, and were very accommodating for the last minute changes we required.
I've done three different safaris now, and this was the perfect combination of value for money and superior experience. The accommodation was very comfortable, the food was really good, and the safari drive was excellent. Our guide - Peter - was committed to ensuring we saw everything we could in the time we had.
10/10 would book through them again.

Perfect Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru trip with John
We booked a 4-day safari trip to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The trip was beyond my expectations; we saw every animal I could imagine (plus more!), learnt so much about birds, stayed in nice places and had good food. Our driver John was an excellent driver, never got stuck in the mud, was very patient and knowledgeable. I'd happily do this again with the same company.
It was a well organised trip. Our driver/guide John was extremely competent and considerate.
We were very well taken care of. The organiser and the driver needs special mention. It was a dream safari trip. Thanks!

Great personalized service, excellent accomodation offered as well as smooth transport arrangements
I experienced great planning on short notice for my family trip to Tsavo East National Park. The service from transport, accomodation and meals were well arranged. The kids especially had a blast! Communication is excellent with emails and telephone calls. Tour was generally great! Looking forward to more trips in the future.

Was tremendous experience, accomodation and safari in General.
Immediately we arrived in Kenya we were constantly in communication with Dickson.He kept his promise whenever he talked to our contact person.
We were picked up in Mai mahiu transit point,while waiting we were given breakfast,Dickson catered for all this.
Our driver/tourguide he was a patient and funny guy.He was straightforward in his communication. Because of climate change my partner got sick,our tourguide made all the necessary arrangements that we wont miss anything,he organised that we went to maasai village.
During safari our tourguide drove us nearly everywhere so that we could be able to see the big five.We got the chance to experience wildebeests crossing over,nice experience.
I will recommend this company to everyone. Thank you Dickson!
