Nicholas is a very professinal Guide and Driver. Me and my fiance had a great time during the safari
Nicholas was very attencious and careful during the safari. He's a fun and informative guide. Every time we had a nice view or saw an animal, he stoped the vehicle for us to take photos. Definitely worthed it.

Family trip to Masai Mara-Abai Afrikan was the best choice we have ever made!
Best in communicating, very cordial and appropriately professional.
We were very happy dealing with Hellen.
She was amazing, knowledgeable, and organized the whole 2-night 3-day trip perfectly. The safari guide, Recko was a perfect choice-took us to all best possible places to see the wild animals.
We will be looking for Hellen over and over again to organize all our future trips to East Africa.

the best you can get out there
Nico was our driver and he was absolutely great. Was willing to go the extra mile for us, no complaining, he had all the time very positive mindset and what’s most important - he had very good knowledge about all the animals and plants in the park! Couldn’t have wished for a better driver for those 5 days. Car was clean and very nice as well.

Amazing experience
We had a truly wonderful safari with Afrikan Accent. From the beginning, Hellen has always been very professional and prompt in answering all our questions. She personally came to greet us at the beginning and end of the safari to make sure everything was in order. Our driver Michael was also great and made sure we are well taken care of. In short, we will definitely go with them again if we return to Kenya and would not hesitate recommending this company to anyone.

Absolutely superb safari tour
Jan 2025 - 9 day tour
- Nairobi/national park & elephant orphanage
- Maasai Mara - Sopa Lodge
- Lake Nakuru - Sopa Lodge
- Lake Navaisha/Hells Gate - Sopa Resort
- Amboseli
- Back to Nairobi
Summary:
We really wanted to provide a comprehensive review of our Kenyan safari tour with Afrikan Accent Adventures (“AAA”) as they without doubt made it the trip of a lifetime for us. In summary, we couldn’t recommend more strongly that anyone looking for a safari tour operator book with AAA.
Hellen (company manager), Nico (our safari guide and driver) and Mike (guide in Nairobi) were all absolutely superb, and the service and support they provided from initial contact right through to drop off was simply first class. We feel that for such an impeccable client service, and for the time, the price provided very good value.
Itinerary:
Hellen dedicated significant time up front to prepare a bespoke safari itinerary which was meticulously planned to tick off everything we wanted to see. Note this was done before any payment obligation so her time up front was very much appreciated. She worked hard to ensure the accommodation we wanted was all booked for us, despite us booking relatively late and some of the places were seemingly already fully booked.
You could spend a month at the places we went, but given the limited time we had Hellen managed to pack in as much as possible without overloading it, so it didn’t feel rushed.
Nico was excellent throughout at ensuring we kept to our schedule and arrived on with enough time to enjoy everything that was planned.
AAA also lined up other great tours within our itinerary: Joseph’s bike tour at Hells Gate, the Crescent Island boat tour, and the Maasai village tour.
Communication and support:
We cannot thank Hellen enough for her outstanding customer service. She was very clear in communication throughout and responded very quickly to our initial queries (seemingly at all hours!) She answered all tour/support related queries we had before booking and throughout our tour. She worked with me on a bank transfer payment issue I had for the deposit and liaised with our first hotel to retrieve a lost kindle.
She was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Nico was extremely knowledgeable on each of the parks and the flora and fauna at each, constantly providing info throughout. He was more than happy to answer any questions we had. He was also happy to talk to us about the culture of Kenya - the tribes, languages, politics and religion of each area we visited - which really added colour and extra interest throughout our trip.
For the avoidance of doubt, Hellen and Nico both speak very good English.
Our guide:
Nico has been guiding safari tours for 12 years and you can tell. In addition to his excellent knowledge and communication throughout, Nico had a real knack of getting our vehicle in the right place at the right time, ensuring we were situated perfectly to see animal crossings, get as close as possible (whilst being respective of the animals) and take some wonderful photos. At some of the animal spotting there can end up being a lot of vehicles on site, so AAA really impressed us with this.
Vehicle:
It was very important that we were in a 4x4 vehicle rather than a mini bus. Hellen provided us with photos and details on the vehicle up front. On arrival it didn’t disappoint.
The vehicle was clean and well maintained - there were absolutely no issues with it dealing with the extreme terrain. It was spacious - 6 seats (though there were only 2 of us!), all the windows were big and opened easily, and the pop up roof was great.
Some of the roads can be extremely rough both on safari and in transit. I occasionally suffer with a bad lower back but have to say the seats were extremely comfortable and absorbed a lot of the shocks, this was very important given how long you do sit on these trips.
Note there is no air conditioning in the vehicle, but the ‘African air con’ (opened windows) generally kept us cool enough.
Cost:
We were looking for a mid range tour, staying in lodges throughout.
AAA were very competitive with the price quoted for the overall tour and we feel they provided exceptional value for money. Whilst we can’t comment on other tour companies, we can’t imagine that they would have been able to provide an improved service, and some of them quoted a significantly higher price for a similar length mid range trip.
Company Name:
When initially contacting and booking we had noticed that there was a discrepancy with the company name ‘Afrikan Accent Adventures’ and the name on some of the review sites. Hellen informed us that this is simply due to the difficulty they have faced trying to change the name on these sites since she went full time with her business. Please do not be put off by this, and we hope Hellen can get this sorted as soon as possible as it would be a real shame if this put some people off from having an otherwise wonderful experience with AAA.
Extras:
They think of everything! Early morning starts can be quite chilly so a customised Maasai shuck (blanket) was provided to each of us. Likewise it gets very hot and sunny during the day, so they also provide a good quality safari hat.
They are very environmentally conscious, so provided us with customised metal bottled and ample water. It was handy that our names were on the metal bottled provided to avoid confusion between who’s was who’s.
Hellen also went above and beyond to make our trip extra special by arranging a special surprise for my partner’s 30th birthday in the lodges. This also resulted in us receiving room upgrades.
Thanks again Hellen, Nico and Mike for everything and best of luck. We very much hope to see you again.

5 star +++ Safari with Nico!
Impeccible service! We even did a more mid level safari and it felt top notch luxurious. Hellen was beyond accommodating when our flight was cancelled and figured everything out with ease.
On the safari itself, we basically saw every animal within an hour of landing. We could tell our guide Nico was the best as all other guides would ask him for advice. Basically every time he spotted all the major animals first, so we had the only front row seat before the other operators.
So lucky to have found this company. Don’t go with anyone else!!!

Michael was very friendly, funny, knowledgeable and a great driver!!
If you’re looking for a top-tier safari experience in Nairobi, Abai Afrikan Adventures is the way to go! From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations with their exceptional service, reliability, and value for money.
Our adventure began with an early morning pick-up—right on time, which I really appreciated. They even provided a breakfast to-go, a thoughtful touch that made the early start much easier. The 4x4 safari truck was spotless and comfortable, ensuring a smooth ride through Nairobi National Park.
The real star of the experience? Our guide, Michael! He was not only super friendly and funny, but also incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and park ecosystem. What impressed me the most was his sharp instincts and quick action—the moment he heard about a lion sighting, he wasted no time getting us there. Thanks to him, we arrived just in time to witness lions in their natural habitat—an unforgettable moment that I’ll cherish forever!
The communication with Abai Afrikan Adventures was seamless from booking to drop-off, making the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. If you’re visiting Kenya and want a well-organized, exciting, and memorable safari experience, this is the company to book with. I highly recommend them for anyone wanting to explore Nairobi National Park with a professional and passionate team who truly cares about delivering an unforgettable safari!

The best we ever had and the greatest of all time
The trip was a quite interesting experience thanks to our tour guide Mike. He was amazing and he showed us around the park telling stories of the animals in the park. He was good and best in what he does. He made sure that we saw most of the animals. It was a great trip
