Very professional and reasonably priced
We are from Australia. We wanted to do African safari at a reasonable price and did some online research and found Adventure Africa Expedition run by Dickson. We were met by the driver in Nairobi and everything exceeded our expectations. We had a great safari trip to Masai Mara. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend this company based in Kenya.

fantasic experience!!!
We had a 4 four days trek to climb Mt. Kenya early this July, the program was run by Adventure Africa Expedition. we really enjoyed this trek. We have 5 people including my 7-year-old son and the operation team includes 7 people, one master guider, two cookers and four porters. they are very experinced and very considerate, everything is this trek was organzied preperly.
When we reached Shipton Camp at the 2nd day, some of us felt very tired. The original schedule was to start climbing the Lenana peak from 1:30am and go back to Old Moses Camp by the end of day, we decided to start the ascend from 7:00 am and stay at Shipton camp in the evening so that we can have more rest. The master guide took every measure to help us, he tried many times to call the company to confirm this change, there was no signle in the mountain, we tried to call the company at many places during our way to the peak. We got the confirmation from company, I appreciate the flexibility, they rearranged the rest of the team based on the updated schedule so that we can have food and accomodation at the 3rd and 4th day. Finally, everything went very well. My 7-year-old son reached the summit and probably, he is among the yonngest who reached the Lenana summit. All of us really appreciate the service by the operator.

Mt Kenya and Kilimanjaro combined
I made a combined trek to Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro with Adventure Africa Expedition in August 2019. Both treks have been well organised. Dickson was always available to provide helpful information and the crew was professional and friendly. The food and the service whilst on the treks have been very good. I also appreciated the flexibility to make some changes in schedule on the go.

Mount Elgin with quality comfort
Comms were excellent throughout. Slight acceptable delays when the staff are in the bush but more than acceptable. Chef and tour leader were provided and did an excellent job - food was outstanding in an austere environment. A good company providing a good, honest reliable service.

Can't recommend highly enough - brilliant from start to finish!
Our group had a brilliant experience with Adventure Africa Expedition (AAE) climbing Mount Kenya over 4 days. The logistics were seamless and support was fantastic from start to finish. AAE responded to my multiple queries clearly and quickly and made me feel fully confident about the challenging experience. The guides were not only expert at knowing the terrain but were amazingly fun, friendly and reassuring. The cooks literally worked miracles with the resources available and made consistently great meals that were varied and filling - a real morale boost! I can't thank AAE enough for making the experience so amazing and being so supportive the whole way through.

Memorable trip of a lifetime - for all the right reasons.
Exceeded expectations. Superb driver (Paul) who expertly managed many challenging tracks, and a great cook (Kata) who served up good food in some basic conditions. Both were attentive to the group’s needs and wishes. It was a fantastic safari experience (getting to Lake Turkana isn’t easy) with a perfect pace and variety of experiences and good value for money.
Missed out on the Turkana central island... next time!

Excellent
This was a 10 day road trip to Turkana. Adventure Africa planned and executed an amazing trip. The logistics were well executed and where there was hiccup it was quickly and efficiently rectifed. Communication with directing management before the trip was excellent keeping me informed and very responsive to enquiries. Had best deal as well good value for money.

Absolutely the best hike I’ve ever been on.
I can honestly say this was the best hike I’ve ever been on in my life. The guys pushed well beyond their boundaries to make myself and the team exceptionally comfortable at every stage. Not once could I fault anything from them. I would happily recommend and also happily use their services again anytime.

Plentiful Picnic’s on Mount Kenya
Mount Kenya is a legendary location, the flora and fauna of which varies greatly.
Whilst some try and rush the experience into a weekend, our hike took place over five days and it’s route (Chogoria Banda’s, Lake Ellis, Lake Michaelson, Simba Tarn, Point Lenana, Shipton Camp, Old Moses Camp) enabled us to really enjoy the experience and savour the sights of such an epic adventure.
I should also add that this route is better for acclimatising to the altitude, making a successful summit more likely and gives you some fantastic views along the way, the lunch stop on day two looking over Lake Michaelson sticks in my mind in particular as a fantastic sight (as does that first cuppa tea at Shipton, so restorative and refreshing after the early morning ascent; talk about a brew with a view).
Dickson and his team were quite simply the best; the porters were cheery no matter the weight they carried, the food was fantastic and fuelled us well (as a vegetarian my dietary needs were accommodated and understood fully and flavour-ably; honestly we all commented how tasty it was, there certainly was plentiful picnics on Mount Kenya for us unlike the hardships experienced in No Picnic on Mount Kenya), the guides are knowledgeable and extremely supportive and patient; on the ascent to Lenana I was somewhat nervous and fatigued but with their help and guidance I was able to reach the Lenana Ridge and enjoy that spectacular sunrise which is a sight I will never forget.
I am so grateful to Dickson and Co for their company and support, our expedition was a success solely thanks to their efforts and it was a joy to be in their presence for such a journey and to make so many memories on that mountain.
I would highly recommend that you select their services to support you on your African adventures, you will not regret it.
