The tour operator is highly experienced, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about what they do.
Summiting Uhuru Peak at sunrise was breathtaking, and I owe much of that success to African Skimmer Safaris. Their seamless organization, personal touch, and unwavering support turned what could have been an overwhelming challenge into an unforgettable adventure.
If you're considering climbing Kilimanjaro, I highly recommend them. Their professionalism, dedication and warmth made the journey truly special. They ensured we had an incredible experience.

Personable, informative, interactive and all round fun.
We had the best outing, myself and a crew other friends. We had an amazing time first at Nairobi national park, where we were able to do a short but quite interesting outing with the friends that had a quick layover in Nairobi. Had an early start of 6am from the hotel where they pick you up, coffee plus all the updates on the day’s activities. What can I say?, I could write all day, but AfricanSkimmers are just that, they will skim through the troughs to make sure you witness all the magic the safari has to offer. Thanks to you Nicholas and team, we hope to be back soon!.

Nick at African Skimmer Safaris is extremely knowledgeable and professional.
Nick at African Skimmer Safaris is the best and most professional guide I have used. He is exceptionally skilled in his knowledge of wildlife and how best and when to see them. Nick is very hands on when planning your Kenyan safari but can also facilitate trips to the beautiful Kenyan coast and also a guided climb up Mount Kenya. I am very glad I trusted a Nick for my safari and Kenya excursion. A lot goes into planning a successful Kenyan trip and Nick makes us very easy. I look forward to working with Nick again and highly recommend him and his company. Thanks Nick!!!

Efficient, attentive and helpful
If you're looking for a travel agency that is both efficient and truly cares about your individual needs, look no further than African Skimmer Safaris. They recently helped me book my flights and hotel accommodations in Watamu and Diani Beach, and I was so impressed with their service. They were incredibly quick in their responses and always ready to assist. What stood out was their attentiveness – they really listened to what I wanted and were very happy to make adjustments to my itinerary to ensure it was exactly what I was looking for. Their helpfulness and flexibility made planning my trip a breeze. I highly recommend African Skimmer Safaris!

Excellent service, provided driver and guide for 8 trips over 2 weeks around Nairobi and Naivasha
I had a group of 7 friends from Europe visiting Kenya for 2 two weeks. We spent one week in Naivasha and one week in Nairobi, doing a range of trips:
- Naivasha: Hells Gate, Elementeita Lake, Elsamere, Crater Lake
- Nairobi: Njgong Hills, Karen Blixen, Two rivers, Giraffe Centre, Carnivore + night out, drop off at airport.
African Skimmer Safaris provided great transport with appropriate bus or Landcruiser, comfortable, with competent, cheerful and careful drivers, good guide for the Nairobi park. Always on time, always in a great mood. Flexible also, could change the program with a day notice. Bus clean and comfortable, and just right for the group, so divided over the group we got a very good value for money.
Highly recommended.

Peter and Charles - top-drivers!
We visited Kenya with the Jins, our scout group from 50 years ago! Hugo and Shiku invited us to their home nearby Nairobi.
A once-in-a-lifetime-experience!
Peter, the driver of African Skimmer Safaris, was always on time to pick us up with the minibus. He brought us to a different beautiful place every day, to the Longonot mountains, to Lake Naivasha, tot Hell's Gate, Crater lake, Karen and so on...
And of course to the city, to a mall, to a restaurant,... Even in the evening! Always very friendly, helpful and a super good driver!
Thank you very much, Peter, also for your patience with us, listening and answering our questions...
Thanks also to Charles who drove us with his jeep through National Park of Nairobi. He brought us to the right places to see the most beautiful wildlife. And even took the time to drive us to a special viewpoint... What an adventure, what a good driver...!
Thank you - you made our trip unforgettable!
