I had a great time at Maasai Mara, thanks to African Adventure Specialists
5/5

Touring the Maasai Mara was a dream come true. Growing up in Kenya, like majority of Kenyans, Maasai Mara was too expensive to visit during my formative years and watching tour vans full of western tourists on their way there made me really envious. I was referred to African Adventure Specialists by a friend who had been on Safari with them the previous year. From the moment I reached out to Andrew, my experience with the company was nothing but great. I was given great details of the tour packages the company offered and what to expect. My questions and concerns were responded to in a timely manner. I ultimately settled for 3 days 2 nights package lodging at Mara Sopa lodge. I considered the price quite reasonable since it was peak tourist season. Maasai Mara was what I always imagined it to be an more. Sammy, our tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable about everything, having lived in the area all his life. He knew where and when to see the animals and gave us great insights into the animals, plants, the Maasai people, and all there is to know about Maasai Mara. The 4 X 4 tour vehicle was agile enough to navigate the terrain, with a degree of luxury that I didn't expect given the circumstances. All in all, my whole party (Which consisted of 3 adults and two children) had a one in a lifetime experience.

High rated service
5/5

We trusted then with all related to our trip to mara, and all I can say is it was wonderful... They took care of everything, creating a very good plan for us, starting from the moment we left our hotel in Nairobi till we arrive back.

5 starts, I'm very grateful for a vacation I will never forget

Well planned, exciting, and fun.
5/5

During our stay we spent a good majority of our time with tour guides and experts Martin and Andre. Both of these guys were certainly experts and professionals. Every day was planned out perfectly to hit essentials and see anything and everything possible. An important aspect to me was how passionate they were for this job. Their dedication to their communities and passion for their job was easily noticeable. This made the trip that much more informational and enjoyable. Our trip to Eastern Africa did not disappoint in any way shape or form. After the trip I immediately knew I planned on heading back to Africa and staying in touch with our guides and their company.

Spectacular safari, with excellent guides, great animal viewing and first class accommodations.
5/5

Communications and service were excellent. Our guides, Andrew and Martin, were super friendly and became part of our family. They listened to our wishes for the trip and made them happen. They were very knowledgeable about the country and the wild life. Andrew was expert at driving and finding animals. They made the entire experience most enjoyable and worry free. It was one of the best trips of my life. I really can't wait to come back to Kenya for another safari with African Adventure Specialists.

Amazing the guides knew everything I had a question about.
5/5

It exceeded my expectations and I will definitely go back and used African Adventures Specialists again. The guides spoke perfect English and were supper friendly! The guides were very informative they answered every question I had. They were also great at spotting wildlife, it amazed me how they should spot a lion laying in the grass from great distances when I struggled to see them with my binoculars!!

Immerse in African culture
5/5

We had a 12 days’ trip in Kenya and we booked everything with African Adventure Specialists - the hotels and accommodations, driver guide etc. They took care of everything, from the moment we arrived – Andrew and Martin were waiting for us at the Airport. We started with visiting the Giraffe orphanage and Daphne Sheldrick elephant orphanage, and then 7 days safari in Masai Mara, Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, followed by 5 days in a resort in Mombasa. The guides were all very nice - we had 3 guides, one for Nairobi, one for Mombasa and one for the Safaris. They all spoke fluent English and made us feel welcomed. For the safari, the experience was so great, as the guide drove us so close to all animals, answered all our questions and made sure we were safe at all time. Our agent, Andrew answered all the time very prompt to all our questions, gave us advises prior to the arrival, texted and called very often during the trip to make sure we are enjoying.��I recommend African Adventure Specialists, they respected all we had agreed before, made us feel very safe and welcomed in all the vacation and helped us to discover Kenya. It is a beautiful country, a great experience with safari, visiting the Masai tribes, wild animals that you can see so close, beautiful beaches, snorkeling, dolphins, great weather, very very nice people, we have never met so warm people, opened to help you even without asking, we heard beautiful life stories and lived a unique experience. Go with the flow and immerse in the culture there, its beautiful. 100% I recommend this company.
