A SAFARI AND AN ASCENT OF KILIMANJARO THAT BLEW EVERYONE AWAY
Four friends and I recently returned from a most wonderful adventure in Kenya and Tanzania organized by Dickson and Adventure Africa Expeditions. My friends were "blown away" by our wildlife safari in Kenya and then the climb of Kilimanjaro and finally 3 days on Zanzibar. But visits to the giraffe centre and elephant orphanage near Nairobi, a tour of a spice farm on Zanzibar and meeting local people were great added experiences. It was the first visit to Africa for the others, although I had been before. I did a similar trip with Dickson and Adventure Africa in 2011 with other friends and felt enthused and looked forward to another trip with Adventure Africa.
Our guide, James, for our safari to Masa Mara, Amboseli and other locations was very knowledge and is to be highly recommended. James led us to wonderful encounters with lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, vultures and much more but nothing surpassed our 1.5 hour encounter with 2 wandering leopards. James also knew the birds we saw and the variety of trees and other vegetation. He was excellent! Our accommodations and food were first class.
Our ascent of Kilimanjaro, led by our guide, Siraji, and his assistants, could not have been better. We ascended the Machame route to the Shira Plateau, then spent 3 days traversing the southern slope of Kilimanjaro. We passed the Lava Tower, Barranco Camp, Karanga Camp and on to the Barafu Camp while getting acclimatized to the high elevation. Then it was the night ascent to the top. Despite an average age of 65 we made the top with no headaches, nausea or other altitude effects although saw people in other groups struggling or even having to give up and turn around. Although less than perfect weather (except for the ascent to the top) our guides, porters and cooks did a fantastic job of looking after us. The tents and food were great. We could not thank Siraji and his crew enough for the good time and successful climb.
In short, we would strongly recommend Dickson and Adventure Africa Expeditions for a wonderful and varied adventure in East Africa.

Dream Come True
Our group of 8 friends went on the 8 day safari trip organized by Dickson. The beautiful landscapes of Africa are amazing especially during sun rise and sun set. We recorded 49 different animals using camera and video including cheetahs, a family of 8 lions, large harps of elephants, as well as the giant hippos in the river, lake and pond. The wild beast and Zebra migrations are magnificent. I was amazed at the number of zebras and giraffes in Masai. Our driver was Mori. He is a safe driver very nice and helpful. he also entertained us throughout the trip. the food was excellent buffet style breakfast and dinner. most lunched were picnics except first and last day. We slept in cabin style tents for two nights with shower and toilet in our room and the rest of the nights in the hotels that were wonderful and exceeded our expectations for the price we paid. This trip made my Africa Dream come true and I can't wait to go back again to see the animals! Thanks a million Mr. Dickson!

A journey of a lifetime.
First and foremost I would like to say a million thank you to Mr. Dickson for organizing my safari trip. He was so decent, professional, educated, honest and was so kind enough for giving me back a $10 discount when I paid him with the amount we orinally agreed on. I refused to get the money because I know Mr. Dickson is supporting a charity institution for children who were neglected by thier own families and send them to school via the money he gets from his company. What an amazing man he is. In particular, the safari was legit and smoothly done by our driver Joshua who was also super nice and very knowledgable with the animals we saw around the park. I cannot wait to come back again. May God Bless this company and continue helping needy people in Kenya.
Holiday of a lifetime.
I have just enjoyed a wonderful safari holiday with my family and have nothing but praise for the company and staff.
We had an excellent guide and driver in James. When he promised leopards and lions etc., he delivered. Nothing was too much trouble. If he heard us say elephant or giraffe we immediately drove to find them.
We stayed in the lovely Sopa Lodge where the staff again were so kind.They baked a cake for my son's birthday and danced round the whole dining room to deliver it to the delight of all the guests.
I would encourage everyone to consider them when booking a safari holiday. You made my dreams come true.

So Helpful, Great Price, Great Staff
I cannot praise Dickson and the company enough.
He was so helpful in emailing me regularly as I worked out the booking, giving me different pricing options and responding so quickly. He even upgraded us to the luxury lodge for free! The price was really really good - everyone I know living in Kenya agreed - and the experience second to none. He even ensured the hotel had a personalised birthday cake and sang at dinner for my brother’s birthday.
The driver James was an expert animal finder, diligently tracking down leopards and getting us right up close to the animals. Boniface who accompanied him was one of the nicest humans I have ever met. A real credit to the company.
You would not go much wrong booking with Adventure Africa Expedition. I have done 4 safaris now and was delighted with the quality, service and price I received. I wish the company the best of luck and wouldn’t dream of booking with anybody else in future.

not a hitch !
we are very well travelled and have booked private tours in many different areas of the world, I can't speak highly enough of the speed of correspondance offered by Dickson, is response was always with-in 24 hrs .we travelled in Uganda and Tanzania in a mid-priced option range, the hotels used ( with the exception of the Arusha tourist hotel) , were excellent, on 2 occasions we were the only guests and we still received perfect service. The drivers and guides in both countries spoke perfect English and had exceptional knowledge of their countries which they went out of their way to show off.
Dickson was very easy to deal with and was very flexible and accommodating when we asked for different options, I believe his product was very well priced( I researched at least another 6 companies with the same itinerary) and great value.

Best price-quality ratio for a week in Kenya
We did a six night safari with Adventure Africa Expedition last October, and except for a couple of minor details, everything was almost perfect. Communications before the trip were the best we ever had, very, very fast answering every mail. On the way, the guide was fantastic and we had a very good time with him, and also, the price was fantastic for what we got.
Thanks !!!
