Afriqueen Adventure

Afriqueen  adventure, Kenya is celebrating its 14th Year of Safari outfitting and is steadily growing due to a satisfied client base. We are proud to say that as local Kenyan citizens, we are one of only a few professional and successful tour companies owned and operated by local indigenous Kenyans here in East Africa—a source of great pride and distinction.

 African adventure Safaris is unique in that we specialize exclusively in Africa with no desire to expand and run tours around the globe. Instead, we focus all of our love and attention on our guests’ experiences in our homeland.

 As any traveler knows, Value is about much more than the Price You Pay. It's also about the quality of your experience, and we're most proud of the hard work of our staff in Nairobi, East Africa.

 They tirelessly ensure you'll enjoy an unforgettable experience, whether during our Private Custom Safari, or on any of our Planned Voyages.

 Our mission is, quite simply, to offer the most meaningful, both Budget & Luxurious personalized Safaris available in Africa today. After all, Africa is our home and what we know and love best. Below are some of the ways in which we do this:

 

 Tribal Village Visits & Authentic Cultural Connections

Because we are locals we understand the true meaning of “fully experiencing the real flavor of an African culture” Africa is home to many fascinating tribes. While on safari we have the opportunity to learn first-hand about these ancient cultures by visiting a remote village in the bush.

 We learn of the tribe’s social system, traditions, customs and place in today’s Africa. Life in these villages has changed little over the centuries. Mud and thatched huts often house many generations, and we are invited into these homes to join the tribe in traditional dances and songs.

 The warm brilliant smiles of these people are matched by the brilliant colors of the elaborate beads and cloths with which they adorn themselves. This allows you to discover what makes these countries so mystical and yet so inviting when you meet friendly people who call it home.

 Their dignified and hospitable welcome will be a memory long treasured.

 

 

 

Expert Trip Leaders – make the Difference



In East Africa, we offer a wonderful impressive team on safari,  very own resident trip Leaders are the best in the field. As you would expect, you’ll find Trip Leaders to be very knowledgeable in History, Culture, Wildlife, fluent in English, and have been leading trips for more than 10 years so they are intimately familiar with the needs of our travelers.

 They each have attained a silver medal as members of the Kenya Professional Safari guide association.

Simply put, your resident  trip leader is at the heart of your adventure. That is why we strive to provide you with the best leadership: Knowledgeable, Caring, and Friendly people eager to take you behind the scenes of the destination you’ve traveled so far to see.

 They have now come to be known as “walking encyclopedias”! These talented individuals commence the safari as guides but end the journey as dear friends, having shared the treasures of their homeland from their hearts.

 In Southern Africa, African adventure Tour Leaders have crisscrossed the region countless times and are well versed in flora and fauna, the local art scene, socio-political situations, plus a wealth of insider information. But the Tour Leader’s real genius lies in his ability to make the logistics of travel irresistibly effortless.

 He provides daily briefings on upcoming events, joins travelers for cocktails, leads daily “reflection” sessions and lectures on subjects of local interest from South Africa’s road to independence to the wine industry or future of townships.

 In Southern Africa, wildlife explorations are led by a different set of specialists, the Game Rangers and Trackers, stationed at each of our private camps.

 And imagine all those extra hours gained to relax and enjoying the splendor of the bush! Moreover, flying across the African landscape is a singular pleasure. When one imagines taking to the sky over the savannahs, romantic images of old Africa come to mind—dashing pilots soaring above mountains, rivers and valleys, the big herds below and a wide expanse of brilliant sky above.

 It’s a breathtaking image and an accurate depiction of the experience even today.

 We mostly fly De Havilland Dash 7 built by Boeing Canada, which as an impressive feature — STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) capability which allows it to be operated into short and rough airstrips common to Africa. It takes a capacity of 50 Passengers and has 4 engines.

 The De Havilland Twin Otter 300 built by De Havilland Canada also are very ideal for the short and often rough airstrips of Africa. (If required, the Otter can actually land and take-off in distances as short as 200m!)

 

It is un-pressurized and therefore limited to cruise altitudes of below 12,000 feet above sea-level. It takes a capacity of 18 Passengers and has 4 engines.
