Trip of a lifetime
I recommend Afrikan Accent Adventures very highly, it truly was a trip of a lifetime. They were professional and responsive from initial contact all the way through to departure and the level of service they provided has been absolutely stellar. To provide a comprehensive review, I have covered each element of the trip below.
Booking process
Following our initial contact, Hellen worked with us to create a bespoke itinerary that had the perfect balance of safari adventure and beach relaxation. The itinerary was fully customisable and could be tailored to fit our specific requirements and budget. Hellen set out a number of add on options that we could choose from and we were able to adjust these as much as we wanted.
All of this was done prior to any obligation to pay, which was much appreciated as Hellen clearly put a lot of work in to making the perfect itinerary for us.
Once the itinerary was decided, we were provided with a comprehensive digital itinerary to check everything was in order before we confirmed our booking. This was a really handy document as it included a lot a background details and the accommodation which was useful for us to refer back to when getting ready for the trip.
Furthermore, I let Hellen know that I was planning to propose to my girlfriend during the safari trip. Hellen and the team did everything they could to ensure that this was special and a moment to remember. The proposal itself was fantastically organised (a simple sundowner in the Masai Mara) and the team even arranged a special meal with our safari lodge that evening to finish off the day. More importantly, Hellen and Nico (our driver) were very discreet about the proposal plans which meant it came as a very happy surprise to my girlfriend!
Arrival and Nairobi
When we arrived we were picked up straight outside of the airport and dropped off at our hotel by our dedicated driver. The process was super easy which is exactly what you need after a long flight.
Hellen met us the next day for the formal briefing to start our trip. This was very useful and included lots of practical guidance (including Kenyan culture on tipping and bartering in souvenir shops) which was invaluable for first time visitors to the country who didn’t necessarily know the ‘tricks of the trade’.
We were then driven to David’s Nairobi city tour which was exceptional. This was organised in the afternoon so we had the morning to relax and recover from our flight at the hotel. The tour was comprehensive and featured some of the main sights as well as a tour around the areas lesser explored by tourists which gave an authentic experience of life in Nairobi.
The following day, it was time to start our safari.
The Safari
As part of our trip, we arranged a c.10 day safari trip covering the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo regions of Kenya.
We were collected from our Nairobi hotel and were greeted by Hellen and Nico. They provided us with some free gifts (safari hats, personalised metal water bottles and Masai blankets) which were a great touch and helped us get into the safari mood.
The vehicle itself was a customised Toyota Land Cruiser and we had exclusive use of this throughout our trip. The vehicle was spacious, comfortable and more than a match for the rough terrain we encountered on safari. It’s worth noting that the vehicle could reach areas that some of the other vehicles we saw on safari (e.g. minibuses) could not which meant we could get a better view of the animals. The vehicle featured all the creature comforts including a drinking water dispenser, cool box and fully reclining seats, useful for a quick nap on the drives between parks.
The real star of the show was our driver, Nico, who made our trip unforgettable. He was extremely knowledgeable about the various animals, birds and plants we saw on our trip. His clear passion for his job was infectious and we learned so much about the animals, the landscape and Kenyan culture during our time with him. He also played his role in the proposal perfectly, setting up the sundowner and acting as our personal photographer and DJ whilst I did the proposal. We’ll never forget his choice of ‘smooth music’!
We saw all of the Big Five animals and even more including Cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles and flamingoes. Nico had a particular skill of parking the jeep to get the best view of the animals and line up the perfect photos.
The accommodations were also top tier and Hellen was clearly working hard behind the scenes to secure us room upgrades throughout the trip. A particular highlight was Zebra Plains River Camp where the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for them.
The team also arranged some additional activities which were varied and made a nice change of pace to the standard game drives. Particular highlights included the nature walk in the Masai Mara, the Crescent Island boat trip / walking safari, and the bike ride in Hells Gate National Park. I’d also highly recommend the visit to the Masai Village to learn more about the traditional Masai culture. The people were so welcoming and even let us take shelter with them during a particularly sudden downpour!
Beach break
Finally we spent 3 days at the Neptune Paradise Resort at Diani Beach. We were driven there directly from Tsavo East by our guide and Afrikan Accent even arranged airport transfers for us to the Diani Beach airport for our flight back to Nairobi. The whole process was smooth and efficient. I would recommend arranging the beach extension directly through Afrikan Accent as they dealt with all of the logistics which meant we could focus on relaxing at the end of the safari.
There are also various optional activities (including dolphin sighting trips and Mombassa city tours) which the team can arrange. We didn’t have time on this occasion to do any of these, but it was good to have the option.
Summary
Overall, Afrikan Accent Adventures did everything they could to make our safari holiday an unforgettable experience. They dealt with pretty much every aspect of our holiday excluding flights and the process couldn’t have been smoother. The price was also very competitive. I highly recommend them if you are looking to do an East African safari.
If you are looking for professionalism and passion at a good value, this is the company to use!
5+++++ STARS!!! Afrikan Accent Adventures IS TOP NOTCH!!! You do not need to look any farther if you are searching for a safari company. We just completed our 6 day safari and had the most amazing experience with Afrikan Accent Adventures! If you are looking for professionalism and passion at a good value, this is the company to use! From start to finish, Hellen was always so professional and timely on every correspondence we sent her (either through email or WhatsApp). She answered question after question, was patient with payment issues, and arranged a perfect safari for us. So many personal touches from beginning to end! They have thought of everything to make your safari first class and special! Also, our mid luxury accommodations were wonderful!
Afrikan Accent Adventures has the best safari driver/guide, Nicolas (Nico)!!! This is not just a job for Nico but his passion!!! It is clear that he loves his job. He is an expert in his field, both as a driver and a guide! During the longer drives to the reserve/national parks, he pointed out and shared interesting information about Kenya. When we were on game drives, Nico made every effort so we could see the big 5! He shared so much information with us about ALL the animals we saw. He also maneuvered the Land Cruiser to the best spots to optimize our views and to get the best pictures. Nico took great care of us on our entire trip.
We highly recommend the balloon ride at Masai Mara as well as a visit to a Masai village.
Before we did our safari, we thought it would be a one off bucket list trip, but after this experience, there is no doubt we will return!!! Do not hesitate to book your safari with Afrikan Accent Adventures, you will be in the best of hands and will experience a wonderful safari!

The best travel agency I have ever experienced
Hellen and Nick provided us with the best service. Initially, we were quite concerned about encountering unexpected situations during our trip to Kenya. However, with them by our side, we had nothing to worry about. The hotels we stayed in were comfortable, and Nick took care of everything we needed during the journey. We saw all the animals we had hoped to see, making this safari an absolute success. They were fully dedicated to ensuring our satisfaction throughout the entire trip. I was truly touched by their efforts.

The thoughtful service and professional team perfectly executed our 7-day, 6-night safari.
This safari tour company was introduced to me by my client, Joey. Initially, I only trusted my client Joey because he is a very smart guy, and I had faith in his judgment. He got their service in January 2025. However, during my communication with Hellen, I found her to be truly exceptional—she answered every question promptly and arranged every step perfectly for us. Moreover, I felt their pricing was much more reasonable compared to what I saw.
When my family of four arrived in Kenya, we truly experienced the high-quality service of Hellen's team. On the first day, Hellen drove over thirty kilometers to our hotel to explain the safari process to us. On the second day, Hellen brought the guide, Nick, to the hotel to pick us up and start the journey. They prepared sun hats, Maasai-style shawls, and dust-proof water bottles for us, each engraved with our names. These three items proved incredibly useful during the safari.
They planned the entire itinerary exceptionally well. Nick is an extremely experienced guide who always managed to find the animals we wanted to see and positioned us perfectly to capture the best photos. We missed nothing—we saw the Big Five and a variety of other animals. Nick is a completely trustworthy guide.
Our family is truly grateful to them for giving us such a wonderful holiday experience. If any friends are interested in a safari, I will definitely recommend them. They made us feel secure and at ease throughout the entire process, and it was absolutely worth it.
