An exemplary tour operator that provides exceptional service, and unparalleled wildlife experiences
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 5-night, 6-day safari in Kenya, organized by the outstanding tour operator, Afrikan Accent Adventures. From the moment I arrived until the very last day of the journey, every aspect of the experience was nothing short of exceptional.
Our safari took us through some of Kenya's most iconic and breathtaking landscapes, including two nights in Masai Mara, one night in Nakuru, and two nights in Samburu National Park. As a solo traveler, I had high hopes for this adventure, and Afrikan Accent Adventures surpassed all expectations.
The highlight of the trip, undoubtedly, was the opportunity to witness the incredible wildlife that calls Kenya home. Not only did I have the privilege of seeing the renowned Big 5 – lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos – but I also encountered the elusive Special 5, a rare and remarkable experience. From majestic lions roaming the plains to graceful giraffes browsing among acacia trees, every moment felt like a scene from a wildlife documentary brought to life.
A significant contributor to the success of this safari was our guide, Nicholas. His deep knowledge of Kenya's flora and fauna, coupled with his passion for conservation, enriched every game drive and nature walk. Nicholas's keen eye and expert commentary ensured that each wildlife encounter was not only memorable but also educational.
Furthermore, I must commend Hellen, the dedicated representative from Afrikan Accent Adventures. From the initial inquiry to the final farewell, Hellen was an invaluable resource, always prompt in responding to my inquiries and accommodating my requests. Her professionalism and attention to detail played a vital role in ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience.
Throughout the safari, Afrikan Accent Adventures demonstrated a commitment to excellence in every aspect of their service. Whether it was the comfortable accommodations, delicious meals prepared with locally sourced ingredients, or the well-planned itinerary that maximized our wildlife sightings, every detail was meticulously executed.
In conclusion, my safari experience with Afrikan Accent Adventures was nothing short of extraordinary. From the majestic wildlife encounters to the impeccable service provided by Nicholas and Hellen, every moment exceeded my wildest dreams. I cannot recommend Afrikan Accent Adventures highly enough to anyone seeking an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya.

Moses is a very funny and heartwarming guide who shows interest and knowledge about Kilimanjaro.
With kiliclimb I visited Serengeti national park and learned a lot about the local wildlife and treasures. My guide, Moses, was very informative and approachable and I spent considerable time learning from him and talking with him alongside my friends.

Class act, respectful, responsible, precise and honest all in one.
Definitely coming back to Kenya and will only use Tropical Wild and David Maina as my guide. Everything was far beyond what we expected. David found everything we were hoping to see. First class company from top to bottom. See you again soon Tropical Wild.

experienced Speke as an excellent and very professional tour operator
Thank you so much for an outstanding private safari experience in Uganda. Our guide Gulielm was the best guide we ever had on our tours. Very professional how you could arrange going on gorilla trecking spontaniously again after the first time flashed us. Gulielm was very empathic and gave us an very close insight in Uganda traditions and way of living. The hotels and guesthouses were very well chosen and fitted our expectation perfectly. It is a once in a lifetime experience, but due to your service, we might come back again.

I hope you guys who are interested in traveling in Uganda find this review useful and won't make the same mistake as me and my friend did. In this review i will share the part of my experience with Karumuna Safaris and it's owner Richard who we believe is a fraud and a thief.
From the first moment i contacted Richard he was very fast in answering my mails and whatsapp messages,which i liked because that is how an agency should behave with clients. I applied for the journey inDecember and was supposed to arrive in Uganda in March!! It was like that until the moment I paid him the 50% down payment which he requested because he wanted to make sure the gorilla tracking permits are secured. The same story was with my friend who applied for the trip one month after me. The moment I paid him the money, no answers no mails, nothing! Every info I needed I had to wait 3 or 4 days for a response i called him and told him this is not professional. I asked him to make me another trip plan because i had less days in Uganda because of my ticket.
He sent me the plan 2 days before my trip and also found a guide for me and my friend day before our arrival. When we arrived and gave him the rest of the money the problems started. In the Lodge in Queen Elizabeth our guide approached us and told us thar Richard had an accident and hit the boda boda (motorcycle taxi) with his car and the motorcycle driver didn't survived so Richard was detained in prison. My friend and me were concerned but as the gorilla tracking was approaching i was starting to be suspicious about everything because Richard couldn't be reached on any phone and they apparently didn't know which prison he was detained and he was the only one who knew where the gorilla permits are. Our guides brother was searching for permits in his office and he was able to find only one permit. This one permit was paid on March 8th the day we arrived! And he told me in December to pay so he can secure the permit. At this point we knew that we were scammed! With the help of our guide Herbert we managed to pay for another permit 700usd because we came in Uganda specifically for the gorilla tracking. Richard was not answering any calls from our guide and the warden in the gorilla tracking office told us that he know Richard and that the chief of tourist operations in Uganda are awared that he scammed people before.
There was a lot more happening which I could write and if anyone is interested in hearing this can contact me.
This is not a fake profile, which he claims on other reviews of people that were also scammed and according to him want to damage KARUMUNA SAFARIS reputation. If you look the negative reviews it was never his fault!! . The ranger in Kibale national park told us that his driver by the name Dona went to Chimpanzee tracking with fake permits left the clients there and ran away with the car keys. If you don't want things like this to happen to you avoid Karumuna Safaris and Richard.
God sees everything, if Richard is really in prison he should stay there. But if he lied about hitting someone with his car in order to get 700usd speaks volumes about him as a person.
I tried to attach valuable photos (the payment of the permit,screenshots of our chats and more) but the site won't publish them, so if anyone needs to see them I can send them.

Lovely positive touroperator
We had a very nice time visiting the hotsprings in Moshi with Furaha Adventures. Despite the weather was not so good, the crew was full of positive energy and we really enjoyed our day.
