A professional, attentive and knowledgeable company that helped us to have an incredible experience
Our family recently had the pleasure of going on a remarkable safari journey through Kenya and Rwanda, organized by Adventure Africa. From the outset, the experience was seamless and highly personalized. In the planning stages, Dickson was very responsive, catering to our interests and putting together an itinerary that turned out to be exciting and educational.
Our guides in both Kenya and Rwanda were exceptional. In Kenya, David was super friendly, patient, extremely knowledgeable about Kenyan culture and local wildlife, and punctual. He answered all of our many questions, and drove us expertly across the country and through the Samburu and the Masai Mara parks. We saw an incredible array of amazing wildlife, including the big five. David also arranged, at our request, for us to visit several elementary schools along the way and a Masai village near Masai Mara, where we met locals and learned about their ways of life.
The experience in Rwanda added an enriching layer to our trip. Francis, an independent guide hired by Adventure Africa, was also awesome. His ability to weave stories and facts together created a vivid picture of life in Rwanda, making it a memorable part of our journey. We visited Volcano National Park, where we hired a guide and tracked Mountain Gorillas on one day, and chimpanzees on another. We went to a tea plantation, took a boat on Lake Kivu, and spent a few days in Kigali. David gave us a fascinating tour of the city, including the Genocide Memorial museum (a must), art galleries, the downtown shopping district, a local restaurant serving traditional food, cool coffee shops, and a women’s centre where we took a cooking class.
Overall, the accommodations and travel arrangements were excellent. The hotels and lodges that we chose with Dickson were wonderful. We felt well taken care of and immersed in authentic experiences.
I highly recommend Adventure Africa for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Kenya and Rwanda. Their professionalism, passion, and personalized approach have left us with memories we will cherish forever. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

Excellent communication and meets all expectations.
Pick up to drop off, the 8 day trip was magical and seamless. Our amazing tour driver James captured our attention with knowledge of the Masai Mara and kept us entertained with facts until he dropped us off at the air strip. From Mara to Diani, Dickson paid attention to little details that sometimes I might overlook when planning a trip. Our group of 5 all look forward to taking a trip with Adventure Africa next year.

Responsive, accommodating, flexible, and affordable!
We booked a trip to East Africa with Dickson, and it was a trip of a lifetime! He worked tirelessly with me to come up a personalized itinerary that fit our schedule and our budget.
We climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, went on safari in Maasai Mara, and went gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. His company offered the trip at a more reasonable rate than other companies we looked into.
Dickson was very responsive and patiently answered all of my questions leading up to our trip. He was flexible and accommodating.
We also really appreciated that he used locally owned and operated companies for our tours.
Dickson went the extra mile by coming to personally meet us at our hotel in Nairobi, which was so thoughtful.
We highly recommend you book with this company if you are travelling to East Africa

We believe we got scammed by Dickson
Four of us were referred by my friend’s sister to the owner, Dickson, of Adventure Africa Expedition over six months ago. All communications were very good at the begining. We were so exited and looking forward to the great migration in Masai Mara and Serengeti. We even wired him extra fund after the contract due to park fee increase from July 1st in Masai Mara. But during the tour, we realized we were scammed. He charged us 5 day Masai Mara park fees ($4,000), but we should only pay for 4 days. We have confirmed with the driver that he only paid $3,200 for 4 days. We brought this fact up to Dickson as this is an integrity issue, but he has been running around and refused to refund $800. We have reported this scam/integrity issue to Kenya’s Tourism Regulatory Authority (TRA) and we are waiting on the reply. But we really don’t know how Kenya authority will do. We were told that government has got so corrupt. Hope that is not the case. I have all the facts including the contracts and communication. I like to share this true experience so you can avoid falling into the same trap. Safari is great, but you need to stay away from this company.

reliable and precise
My partner and I asked to organize an expedition to the highest mountains in Africa. Mount Kenya and then Mount Kilimanjaro. Dickson helped us plan the entire trip (using whatsapp) providing us with all the necessary information. The most advantageous thing for us was to decide the period that was most convenient for us and Dickson adapted the entire organization based on our needs. Everything worked very well. We found prepared and competent people. Dickson accompanied us when needed, or checked via whatsapp that everything was going well. For us it was a very positive experience, a real adventure. Our hearts are full of emotions.
