Excellent safari holiday with great range of animals seen
This was our first safari and we had an absolutely superb time. The organisation was excellent, and we saw much more than we could have hoped for before the trip.
We travelled in two vans with Agoy and Polycarp as our guides. They were both extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the areas we travelled in, the wildlife that we saw, the local people and life in Kenya in general.
We travelled to several wildlife areas and saw an amazing range of animals and birds. The guides were always very keen to get us to the best spotting areas and we had multiple game drives each day. Their local knowledge and relationship with the wardens meant that we were always in the right place at the right time. As well as the wildlife we also visited several workers co-operatives, a local school and small towns and villages.
The hotels we stayed in were excellent with good food and very comfortable rooms. Agoy is well known throughout Kenya and this helps in getting the best treatment everywhere – in hotels, rest stops, game reserve entrances etc.
We will certainly be going on safari again and it will definitely be with Affable Tours.

Amazing Experience
Affable was great while booking and gave us tons of information beforehand so we were very well informed beforehand. They were very flexible if you wanted to do anything outside of the itinerary.
The tour was better than anything I could have imagined. All the camps we stayed in were amazing, our favourite being the Kibo camp in Amboseli.
Our guide Robinson was fantastic. I could not imagine the trip without him. He was with us every step of the way and was very knowledgeable on everything about the animals and culture. He is a walking encyclopedia! We always felt very safe in his company. We managed to see the whole Big Five up close. Robinson would not settle for seeing stuff far off or in crowded areas but would search for your own special close ups. I do not believe we would have gotten to see so many animals without him. I highly recommend him and Affable.
Anyone unsure of a Kenya trip due to current travel advisories - Most of the parks are along the south border and the security issues are along the north (very far away). The areas we were in were very safe! The bonus is that it is much less busy right now so its great to take advantage before the crowds come back.

Affable Tours was great!
Guide Agoi is so experienced and so knowledgeable that he made the trip an absolute joy! My wife and I were worried about comfort and safety and we totally reassured on all counts. We had a great time and if we go back to Kenya and Tanzania we will be booking through Agoi and Affable.
