One of the best safari companies in Kenya
5/5

After over 20 years of Kenya vacation and a lot of safaris we were pleasantly surprised by Aberdare Expeditions.
From planning to execution we had one of our most beautiful and interesting safaris. We received very good advice in advance and all our wishes and requirements were taken into account. For example the domestic flight bookings with all airport transfers, the flying doctor insurance etc.
We had a vehicle specially equipped for photographers and our guide and driver Steve always put the vehicle in the perfect position for one-off photos.
We felt very comfortable and safe.
We started from Nairobi and visited Lake Baringo, Samburu and Laikipia as a couple for eigth days.
We can highly recommend the Aberdare Expedition and wish maximum success.
Keep it up and thanks again.

Incredible doesn't begin to describe the trip!
5/5

It was a trip of a lifetime. I can definitely say every part of the trip was wonderful. The itinerary was well planned. Our tour guide, Steve was incredible! He was extremely knowledgeable about the country, cultures and wild life. He was very patient during our safaris and we saw the BIG 5. Steve definitely made the trip enjoyable.

A very special once in a lifetime experience that we still enjoy recalling and sharing with others.
5/5

I vividly recall arriving at the remote airstrip to begin our safari as an American lady, who was leaving on the plane that we had just arrived in, rushed up to us with great enthusiasm and said "You have the best tour guide!! You will have an incredible time!" I learnt later that she hadn't even managed to see the migration of the Wildebeest but she was still absolutely over the moon about her safari experience with Steve Mwangi. Steve had a lifetime of experiences with the wildlife of Africa as he had grown up in the remote areas and as a small child he had to walk about 5 miles to school with his older siblings even though he wasn't ready for school as his mother was working. He could spot a whole range of animal tracks with ease and had an awareness of animal locations and their likely movements. On our very first morning Steve alerted our attention to what looked like tiny black dots way in the distance and said "See those black dots over there - they're Wildebeest - hang on!" Away we went and yes we managed to have a day of several sightings of Wildebeest crossing the Mara River - plus sightings of numerous other animals in areas close by - even a rarely seen cat. A trip of a lifetime and one I would really love to do again and share with family and or friends.

Steve w/Aberdare paid attention to detail along w/ our fabulous guide Dedan Juma.
5/5

Steve at Aberdare was very nice to work with. He understood what we wanted for this safari, the types of places we wanted to stay and helped us, along w/ Dedan, put together a wonderful itinerary and booked everything including our in-country flights and transfers to the camps and hotels.

Steve was easy to communicate with. During the initial consultation and bookings, when we wanted to change anything he took care of it. He helped us work our itinerary so that we could fit everything in that we wanted to do. Even when a couple of us wanted to fly instead of drive with the others on one leg of the journey he made those arrangements and even met us and took us to the airfield while the rest of the party drove on. There are many behind the scenes details that he took care of. And he is very nice and personable!

Steve also has a very experienced, knowledgeable, well respected (at the camps) and caring guide in Dedan! We couldn't ask for better.

This was our 4th trip and it worked out great!

I have been working with Aberdare Expeditions since 2004. They are a top of the line safari company, and I can always count on my clients have a fabulous trip.

They have quality, knowledgeable guides that consistently do a great job!

A fantastic experience!
5/5

Steve is a great guide and his excellent knowledge of the wildlife (and birdlife) across East Africa is a massive help to a photographer such as myself. The service and accommodation throughout the 11 day safari was wonderful, with a particular highlight being the Elephant Bedroom at Samburu. Heartily recommended.
