Thiefs and liars
Going on safari was a lifetime dream of mine. When my husband finally agreed to embark on this adventure I could not be happier. We had used African Adventure specialists and were excited that we were allowing an experienced company create our itinerary. My husband specified which lodge he wanted to stay in as well as his expectations and we thought the rest would be taken care of.
During our trip we started questioning the total cost of our trip because it was off season as well as the prices seemed outrageous compared to people we were talking to who had similar trips planned as us.
We started investigating and speaking to hotel managers and lodge owners and when they saw our furry they all printed out the exact invoices as well as the transfer amounts made by African adventure specialists.
After receiving all the invoices and transfer statements we realized that we had truly been taken advantage off and we were way too trusting.
African adventure specialists overcharged us $9,654.
On top of that, after we had confronted them, instead of making it right they proceeded with fake promises and then completely ignoring us.
The last day of my trip was spent waiting at the lobby of the hotel for “proof” from African adventure specialists and after reassuring the hotel they were on the way nobody showed up.
It’s been two weeks of running after someone to get some answers and there is no responses.
I would never recommend this company to anyone if you don’t want to be robbed..
I’m sad that my dream trip had to end this way.

EXEMPLARY SERVICE
We had our reservations over travelling out of the USA amidst the pandemic. However, the thought of missing out on the Mara Migration outweighed our fears. On recommendation, we settled on AAS as our itinerary planners. From landing at The JKIA to spending the night in Nairobi and later travelling down to Maasai Mara via Narok, the trip was well planned and executed. I would highly recommend AAS.

Great staff, amazing sights
I enjoyed the trip to Masai Mara and time we spent in Nairobi. Our drivers were friendly and helpful, and became more than just drivers but spent time with us as we explored the city and the nightlife. They were flexible in their schedules to accommodate our plans, and spent large parts of the day with us.
The safari time was amazing, the guide was very knowledgeable, and we had a great time. The accommodations were actually nicer than I anticipated, which was a little disappointing. It may sound strange, but I was hoping for a more authentic experience vs. staying in a very nice resort that only caters to rich tourists. The trip to the Masai village was good, but it felt a little like the whole town was set up to cater to tourists vs. just the way that regular people lived. I suppose there is no way to avoid that since we were foreigners paying for the experience.

THEY ARE SIMPLY SUPERB
In the 3rd week of October'2022 me along with my family undertook a trip to Kenya since the forests of Amboseli especially Masaimara were in my bucket list. During the 8 days we spent with them on our visit to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masaimara & Nairobi were really awesome. Their hospitality, minute care for their guests are really praiseworthy. It will be injustice if I don't mention the names of two persons who made our Kenya trip memorable. Those two persons are Mr. Andre Leo Kitema, Manager of this organization who did not bother to squeeze in time from his busy schedule to facilitate issuance of our E-VISA from Kenya Embassy, Nairobi on time. The other person is Mr. Larwince Kireu who was our companion cum guide during our entire trip. This man with his eanesty, simplicity, always wearing an ingenuous smile on his lips but having profound knowledge about wild life and animal kingdom of Africa has made our trip memorable and we came back with lifetime wonderful experience. We are really touched by the humanity and courtesy of these two persons. So whenever you think of making any trip to countries of East Africa simply travel with African Adventure Specialists only........rest assured you too will have lifetime experience.

4 DAY TRIP TO DIANI
My friends and I had been craving a rendezvous to the Coastal region of Kenya. As chance would have it, we got to learn about African Adventure Specialists through a referral. We contacted them and after a few inquiries we were convinced that they were the guys for the job.
They kept in touch with us as we were enroute and we were delighted to find the driver waiting to pick us at the airport when we landed. The landcruiser they'd sent was sufficient for us. Our package covered accommodation and a tour guide, but boy did they exceed our expectations. The villa they handpicked for us was perfectly fitting for our needs. Very spacious crib with a pool at the front and to top that it was a beach front crib! Waking up every morning to beautiful chilling views from the bedroom balconies is definitely what we signed up for! The foods the guides recommended was worth every dime and so were the games they engaged us in.

Zanzibar Heaven
AAS offered us a really nice package considering our timing was barely a week away from the peak season. Kudos to the team they have cause they are really engaging and make you feel like you have personal touch with them. We chose to visit Zanzibar with AAS as our tour operator of choice, best decision we ever made.
They took really good care of us we felt like a part of the family. Our package included activities such as snorkeling, swimming, medical evacuation insurance, bed and breakfast and a concierge.

8 DAY Zanzibar bliss
The beach never fails when it comes to unwinding and clearing your mind. Zanzibar's experience will forever linger in my mind and bring me joy for years to come. African Adventure Specialists played a great role in this: being picked at the airport and guided to my hotel really relieved us of the stress that is trying to find your own way. Loved the suggestion from the guides to try yoga and super grateful for the English speaking instructor, whole experience turned out to be very therapeutic!
The boys really enjoyed the game drives and the rich cultural heritage they git ti interact with.
