Very helpful, professional and welcoming.
5/5

We had a great 5 day hike up MT Kenya, following the Chogoria to Sirimon Route. The guide Shem and his team were excellent, would highly recommended. The food was amazing, the chef Gustin never left us hungry and fuelled us to go up the mountain! The porters took good care of us and made us feel at ease. Would highly recommend this trip.

A successful hiking trip
4/5

We booked the 6 day Mont Kenya trek via the Sirimon gate to Chogoria.
Our guide and the carrier team (Shem, Gaustin, Anthony, Julius, John and Gilbert) was very helpful anytime we asked for anything, always trying to make our trip the best possible.

Would we have prefered to know in advance that we would be sleeping in a tent and to have an exhaustive list of what we would need for the hike ? Yes but even without that we successfully hiked to the top of Mount Kenya !

We were taken care of with 3 meals a day, tea anytime we wanted.

This trip is for experienced hikers as the hike can be technical.

Encouraging & professional
5/5

I went for a hiking trip up to Mt Kenya from 31/12/2023-4/1/2024. My tour guide, Shem, was very kind, friendly, professional, and encouraging. He was also very helpful in making sure that I was feeling good each day before getting started on the trek. On my third day, I spontaneously felt like I wanted to summit a day earlier than planned and when I asked Shem for his insight/thoughts, he was very supportive & straight away got the crew ready to make it happen. It was a successful trip! I had a wonderful cook, Augustine, too. He would always check on whether I've had enough food or needed anything else. The food and fruits were amazing! I had two porters - Joshua and Julius; both men were quiet, calm, and on task. I highly recommend going on this adventure with this team! :)

Professional, courteous & very accomodating
5/5

We had an excellent 12-day safari of Kenya & Tanzania this month.

Africa Safari bookings team - Edmond & Francis were both professional, prompt & very knowledgeable. They responded to all our questions within 24 hrs
We felt safe booking the trip with them. Money was handled with care & professionally.
A group of us from Australia & NZ went not knowing much about the African continent & we couldn’t have had a better time.
Amazing place, incredible people & mind-blowing animals

There were few hiccups during the 12-day trip… however, everything was handled & managed very well.

We are very very glad with the Africa safari team and both our drivers / guides - Obie (Kenya) & Vincent (Tanzania)
Both were excellent in their driving skills, ethical attitudes & knowledge of the Savannah

We highly recommend booking a trip through Africa Safari bookings Advisory team.

We felt safe booking the trip with them. Money was handled with care & professionally.

We were lucky to have execeptional drivers / guides for Kenya and Tanzania - Wycliffe (Kenya) & Izac (Mama Savanah Tanzania)
Both were excellent in their driving skills, ethical attitudes & knowledge of the parks / wildlife - they infact made our trip !!!

We recommend booking a trip through Africa Safari bookings Advisory and ask for these Drivers/Guides - Wycliffe (Kenya) & Izac (Mama Savanah Tanzania)

Tended to all our needs and wants.
5/5

African safari bookings advisory centre organised our 30 day tailored itinerary to Kenya and Tanzania for the month of September visiting 10 parks and 3 major cities in Kenya as well as Zanzibar in Tanzania. I could not fault the organisation for all the details they had to go through to organise and cater for all our specific demands. We were five in the group and had 7 for 10 days and all worked out in the 7seater we had. Yes, a couple of hiccups on the way but was immediately addressed by Francis and Edmund to our satisfaction. The hotels chosen were fantastic with a selection of lodges, hotels and glamping in conjunction with our chief organiser.
Our main driver for 20 days, Wyclif, was exceptional. He was well versed with all the flora and fauna together with his communication to us and good to see him being part of our family during the time with us. His driving was exceptional - considerate, careful and experienced and flexible to our requests on all the massage roads we had to deal with. In Tanzania for a week, we had Israel who also knew the parks inside out and was experienced.
I certainly can recommend African Safaris Advisory for all their expertise and helpfulness in organising your safari. I certainly will go back to use them and have already passed my recommendations to others.
Thanks to my fellow travellers for all the good times we had.

Thanks Francis and Edmund for letting me reconnect with the land I started from.

Regards from Australia.
