Trustworthy, reliable, knowledgeable and helpful Tour Company
We had an amazing Safari adventure through Africa Safari Bookings, with expert planning help by Claude and Edmond, and assistance during the trip provided by Francis. Our initial plans to travel in July 2020 had to be cancelled due to Covid and closed borders, but the staff were very professional and remained in communication, and so when we were able to travel once more we had confidence we could use this company again.
Our customized itinerary included visits to Bomas cultural, Giraffe and Elephant centers in Nairobi, game viewing at Amboseli National Park, crossing border to Tanzania, taking in the sights at Lake Manyara, game drive through Ngorongoro Crater, exploration of the Serengeti, crossing back to Kenya for game drives at Masai Mara, then to visit Lake Naivasha for boat ride and nature walk, on to Lake Nakuru for another game drive, and lastly to the famous Samburu National Park in the North. We got to see all the Big 5, as well as the Ugly 5, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, many species of bird, variety of Antelope from largest (Eland) to smallest (dik-dik) in the world, and we got to see the Samburu 5 (Grevy's zebra, long-necked gerenuk, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich and Beisa oryx).
Our drivers in both Kenya and Tanzania were knowledgeable, excellent spotters and respectful of animals. The vehicles were safe, sturdy and well-maintained.
All in all a fantastic trip, which was well organised and managed by Africa Safari Bookings Advisory Center. I am happy to recommend using them for your tour.

A successful hiking trip
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.

Trustable and efficient, good services, great communication
We booked the 10 Days Kenya Tanzania Adventure Safari with Africa Safari Bookings. The staff was very responsive from the beginning, answering all our questions and addressing our requests in a prompt and efficient way. Everything was delivered as promised, they handled all payments with transparency and professionalism.
We certainly recommend them when booking your trip to Kenya and Tanzania

Tended to all our needs and wants.
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.

Attentive, Responsible, Responsive.
We had a great 30-day safari of Kenya & Tanzania. A very specific and customised itinerary, which included must see sights as a number of us were returning to our roots after many, many years abroad.
Africa Safari bookings team - were professional, prompt & knowledgeable. Although, there were hicups along the way (inspite of our very specific requirements), they responded to all our questions within 24 hrs.
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)

Encouraging & professional
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! :)

Expert Driver and Guide
Please also see my separate review of the wonderful Safari tour we had and expert assistance of Africa Safari Bookings Advisory Center in planning it.
I would like to make a special mention of our excellent Kenyan driver and guide Oburu. Oburu is the best person we could have had leading us around between the National Parks and navigating the back roads. He is an expert and safe driver, knowledgeable and passionate, punctual and hardworking. His English is perfect and his professionalism is exemplary. We were fortunate to have Oburu lead us for 10 days. We are a family of 4 and he organized and looked after all of us. I highly recommend asking for Oburu to be your driver and guide when you plan your visit.

This safari was amazing!
The safari holiday bookings team was very punctual on the days we were picked up and dropped off. The night drive took us to the Masai Mara and we were able to see all of the wild animals we had never seen before. The day safari took us around the Masai Mara National Reserve and our driver was very knowledgeable about all of the different animals and the vegetation in the area. I would highly recommend this company for your safari in Kenya!
