Exeptional lifetime experience
Since this was our first journy to Africa we had an all inclusive booking for an 11 days Safari. All the transvers and Hotels were excelent. Our Guide for the Safari, Shauri, is a Guide for more than 20 years now and he seems to know every tree and track in the parks. His knowledege about Kenia, the history, the people, flora and fauna and especially all the animals is incredible! We first went to Samburu, we were overwhelmed by the amount of Animals we saw! Then to Ol Pejeta (heaps of Rhinos and Lions) then on the way to Masai Mara we stopped at lake Nakuru with its Flamingoes and Pelicans. Masai Mara was amazing again, so many Elephants, Hippos, Giraffes, all sorts of Antelopes, Zebras, Buffalos and Lions. Then on to Amboseli via stopover in Swara Plains. Again Amboseli with large heards of Elephants, incredible and all this with the Kilimanjaro in the background. We finished the parks with the Tsavo east where the Elfants are red like the ocre color the earth there is. From there Shauri drove us to Diani Beach where we staied for another week. We very much recomend Shauri, he made us feel at home in Kenia. The return trip from Mombasa to Nairobi with the train and all the transvers was also organised by Adventure Expedition and all went just perfect. I should not forget to mention that all the Lodges in the Parks were excelent with special treats and superb food. So over all we were very lucky to have booked with Adventure Expedition, it was really all 5star experience! Thank you very much.

Terrible experience & customer service
I recently embarked on what was supposed to be an unforgettable adventure with Expeditions Adventures and Safaris, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a complete disaster. From start to finish, my experience with this company was riddled with numerous issues and disappointments that left me frustrated and regretful.
First and foremost, the communication with Expeditions Adventures and Safaris was abysmal. Prior to the trip, I had several inquiries and concerns that I needed clarification on, but their customer service was unresponsive and lacked any sense of urgency. It took weeks and multiple attempts for them to finally address my questions, leaving me feeling neglected and uncertain about the trip.
Upon arriving at my destination, the problems only escalated. The accommodations that were promised during the booking process were far from what was delivered. The room was dirty, with stained bedding and a strong odor that made it unbearable to spend any time in. The bathroom was in a deplorable state, with broken fixtures and a lack of essential toiletries. It was evident that the property had not been properly maintained, and it was a far cry from the advertised luxurious experience.
The tour guides provided by Expeditions Adventures and Safaris were equally disappointing. They seemed disinterested and lacked knowledge about the destinations we visited. Their lack of professionalism was evident in their disorganized approach and inability to provide insightful information. I had hoped to learn and experience the local culture, but instead, I was met with apathy and a mere surface-level tour.
To add insult to injury, the transportation arrangements were a complete nightmare. The vehicles provided were outdated, uncomfortable, and in dire need of maintenance. On multiple occasions, the vehicles broke down, leaving us stranded in remote locations for hours. This not only wasted precious time but also put our safety at risk. The negligence shown by the company in maintaining their vehicles was truly alarming.
Lastly, a lack of empathy and accountability was evident in the owner response. Rather than taking responsibility for the shortcomings of his company, he seemed more interested in deflecting blame or downplaying the severity of the problems we encountered. This lack of ownership and willingness to rectify the situation demonstrated a profound disregard for customer well-being. I have to say the he seemed drunk.
In conclusion, my experience with Expeditions Adventures and Safaris was nothing short of a nightmare. The lack of communication, subpar accommodations, unprofessional guides, unreliable transportation, and poorly executed itinerary all contributed to a deeply disappointing and frustrating journey. I would strongly advise against booking any trips with this company, as they failed to deliver on their promises and left me with a lasting negative impression.

They know the great places off the trodden paths.
We came with little time – just five days – and Diana organised a great Safari for us and our two kids. We entirely relied on her recommendations on which places to visit and are so happy. She knows great places. We have been to parks and sanctuaries which were packed with animals and not jeeps. We saw the big five and met nice people. An unforgettable week!

Amazing
We lived and worked in Kenya for some years. Therefore, it was no challenge for us to go and visit places along well-trodden paths. However, when it came to exploring East Africa beyond that, we relied on Adventure Expeditions. Thanks to the intimate knowledge of the region, the organization skills and the well-established co-operation network of Diana and Richard, we experienced the unexpected in Kenya, Uganda and on Zanzibar. We highly recommend their tailor- made travels, the good mix of adventure and comfort, nature and culture - not to forget the friendly and experienced drivers/ guides who are equally skilled in tracking the Big Five and providing insights into local cultures. We hope to return soon for yet another adventurous expedition!

For me it was my first time in Kenya and I loved it! The tour they arranged for me was amazing and so well organized. The safari was breathtaking and I’ve seen so many animals. Everything was perfect and well done until the last detail. Diana and Richard are doing a great job. Thank you very much for your warmhearted contact and the amazing places you organized for me go to!
