Amazing experience
Afrikan buffalo safaris was highly recommended by a friend who had traveled earlier with them. our contact was so easy to deal with by email and efficient, always replying that day. We were late booking and many internal flights had gone but she found a way and managed to pull it altogether seamlessly. Our safari package was tailor made for us and we can only thank ABW Safaris for catering to all of our needs and wants. Nothing was a problem on our trip and if we did want to add in an activity it was quickly organised by our driver he was so patient and passionate and so knowledgeable on all the animals and his bird knowledge amazed us. His keen eyes spotted things we did not even pick up initially and he was able to answer all questions our family of six threw at him. We so enjoyed and nothing seemed a problem for him. We experienced all of what we wanted and I don't think there was one animal we missed, from lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, hippos, buffalo, giraffe and hundreds of wildebeest in migration and so much more.Highly recommend Afrikan Buffalo wildlife safaris

Buffalo Safaris, is an Incredible Tour Company, we had staff who were to be transferred to Voyage from Miritini, the prices were reasonable & the services were beyond expectations, if you need a tour company in Mombasa don't hesitate to contact them.

Best safari experience ever!!
From the first communication to the actual trip, Juma my point to contact was very responsive and effecient. Our trip was amazing, we saw alot..from the magnificient landscapes, scenies and even the adrenaline activities. Machison falls was the highlight of it all and i would do it again and again..ofcourse with Buffallo Safaris!!
The company did not deliver the 5-day trip as agreed upon, and until now is unable to refund us.
We booked a 5-day Meru-Samburu tour with the Malindi-based Afrikan Buffalo Wildlife Safaris Ltd. on 09-13 March 2024. We chose it because it is one of the few companies we found that offer such package, and we saw good reviews online.
We have already paid the full amount for the tour at least a month before the scheduled trip. The trip commenced on 09 March, in Meru National Park, but it got cut short on 11 March. As we were trying to check out from the camp in Meru in the morning, we were informed by the camp management that the tour company had not yet settled our bill. The camp did not allow us to leave the premises until the company is able to pay the balance.
The company's representative told us that he was still on his way to the bank, and later on, said they were scammed by another tourist so they are at a police station in Malindi, and many other excuses. It took the company seven (7) hours to send the payment to the hotel (not even full payment, and we even had to cover some remaining amount). This meant we were stuck in the hotel parking lot for seven hours, much to our embarrassment in front of other hotel guests and staff. It also meant that the next leg of the trip, going to Samburu, was no longer feasible, so we headed back to Nairobi in the afternoon of 11 March.
We even had to pay for the gas money for our trip back to Nairobi as we found out that the company had not given the driver enough money for fuel for the whole duration of the 5-day trip.
The company expressed its apologies and promised to provide a refund within 10 days, but until today (almost a month) has not made any.
The company also insists on providing only partial refund, but according to its very own Contract and Booking and Cancellation Policy, we are entitled not only to full refund, but also to compensation, as the cancellation of the rest of the trip was the company's fault.
We had a horrible experience with Afrikan Buffalo Wildlife Safaris Ltd. They made the decision to send us to Meru, fully knowing that they have not paid the hotel yet, and they concealed this information to us, the clients. The company has also been unresponsive and non-committal about its timeline for refunding us. We sought the intervention of the TRA, but despite this, the company remains unable to give us our refund, in accordance with the terms of the company's contract/booking and cancellation policy.
