Terrible experience
- Terrible experience, from the beginning to the very end.
- Terrible attitude from the staff asking for ‘goods and gifts’ before our arrival.
- Several problems with the payment and more than 50$ charge for paying with card.
- Real disgusting responses by “the boss”.
- Terrible car conditions and driving manners. We had a serious accident with a truck caused by our driver, when we asked the company for the insurance they ignore us and, literally, laughed at us.
- Do you really need more reasons to ignore this company? Make yourself a favour and avoid them.

The worst experience of our lifes
I’m writing this coment from Nairobi airport still shaking. Today me and 4 friends were coming back from Masai Mara area to Nairobi to have dinner and then take our flight home. We were in a van of the company “Africa Home Adventure”.
During the way it started to rain and the traffic became very slow. After a couple of minutes, when we were next to the Riff Valley our driver decided to overtake some cars so he moved to the other lane (uphill) but a truck was going downhill (in his lane). The lorry driver tried to stop, I even saw the smoke in the wheels but it was too late. It hit our van and we almost fall into the valley.
Fortunatelly, only one of my friends had some small cuts because of the window glass and I have a big swollen circle with a bruise on my leg starting to show.
The driver stopped another tourist van that offered to take us to the Tour company office. It was raining and the traffic became cahotic so honestly we just wanted to go away.
Around 300m later there was another accident. A big lorry fell into the valley and we believe that accident was due to ours, because after our crush the traffic stopped moving.
Finally this driver that helped us called our company and we met one member of the staff at the center where he was waiting us with a different car (a small one) and driver. He smiled the whole time, saying that it wasn’t a big deal and that it was the lorry’s driver fault. We couldn’t believe it. We all are drivers and we saw perfectly what happened. He just said “ok I’m sorry you can go to the airport if you want with him”, pointed out to the new driver.
We are ok but still in shock. I’m sorry for such a long text but I just want to let you know that if you are looking for a Tour company in Kenya NEVER choose “African Home Adventure”. In addition they charged me 23$ more when I payed the due balance at their office, saying that it’s because their rate change is different (apart from the 6% charge for paying by card, which I find it normal). When I tried to explain them that my card (Revolut) make the payment according to the exchange rate of the day they refused, I didn’t want to start our tour arguing so we didn’t reply and we payed.
By the way, I’ve seen they have great coments from a man called Abednegoh, he works for them. He was the one who was laughing while we were telling him that we almost die, and the one who texted me through WhatsApp a few days prior my trip which present I would bring him from my country.
There are hundreds of good and reliable safari and tours companies in Kenya but this one is not one of them.

Well organized and structured tour operator
It was a really good experience for us. We saw lot of wild animals, we never saw before. Moses our guide was a very structured guide. We have gotten lot of information about the Massai Mara and all the wild animals. He was very commited that we could see the Kenyas "big Five".
He likes his job so much and you can feel that. He is a very good driver also, he is used to that.

Superb experience
3 days in Massai Mara. Many thanks to George, our guide, who was brilliant and taught us many things about local life and wildlife. Seeing the animals of the savannah up close was a great experience.

Masaï Mara 3 days
3 wonderful days at the Masai Mara. Daniel, our driver / guide was fantastic. We were able, thanks to his insight, to see lions, leopards, cheetahs… He made us discover the savannah in all its splendor. The lodge where we stayed is a few kilometers from a gate to the reserve. it is immaculately kept and the tents are very comfortable. meals are simple but plentiful. I highly recommend African Home Adventure, both in terms of the organization, timing and cost of the stay. It will be an unforgettable stay. thank you again to Daniel who is an outstanding driver.

George is the best guide ever
I like George because he liked to talk to kids, and I’m really social. He told us a lot of things about the animals. George was very funny and made jokes with us too, he also kept me busy and occupied so that my mom had some time to herself. If you have a kid my age of 9 I think they would love a tour with George

George was the best!
We booked our tour through Enchoro Wildlife camp which used African Home Safairs for the guide. George picked us up from our hotel on time and explained the itenary for our time with him and provided our options to us clearly.
From the time of pick up George was amazing, making sure to point out all points of interest, give us time to take photos and breaks on our way to the Mara.
George’s knowledges and expertise about the animals and the park were top notch. He was so kind and professional and super great with kids!
The food and accommodations at Enchoro Wildlife camp were fantastic, the food was great and the showers were hot! I would recommend this company and George especially to everyone!

Excellent
We did the 8 Days-Amboseli-Lake Naivasha-Lake Bogoria-Lake Tour. & traveled in a group of 5 pax. All 5 of us were extremely happy with all the arrangements made by African Home Adventure Safaris.
Right from booking with Albert, who answered all our emails patiently - to our beyond excellent guide George, who is the perfect combination of knowledge (animals, photos and what tourists want!) and fun (he really made our trip more memorable!)
We loved everything about the Safari. Africa is absolutely beautiful and this 8 day trip was a great start to covering most of the important parks.
I didn't love Lake Bogoria (only flamingoes & you'll see them at other places) - advise you do an extra day at Maasai instead.
But overall we found the tour to be excellent on all counts. Have already recommended African Home Adventures to friends. 5 Star +
