Professional, personal, phenomenal and trustworthy - we can't recommend them enough!
We had the most phenomenal time on safari with Afrikan Accent Adventures and we cannot recommend them enough.
We were a little unsure with what to book when looking for a safari, as there is so much choice out there and it is hard to know that you are going to be guaranteed a good experience or how reliable it will be. After looking for a while on SafariBookings we decided to send a booking enquiry. Hellen replied to us promptly and with a thorough amount of detailed information. We only had a short amount of time on safari as we were attending a wedding in Nairobi after, so wanted to make the most of going. We were able to customise our package in terms of what we did, where we went, and when we did it. The tailoring to our own budget, schedule and plans was really easy and made possible by Hellen. Because of this, we decided to go with the company. Hellen sent our itinerary and was in regular contact leading up to the booking, and once we had landed.
We were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi by Nicholas, our tour guide for the duration, and also met Hellen. We were given personalised gifts which caught us by surprise and added to the excitement. Nico then embarked on our long drive to Masai Mara. We were very lucky to have the vehicle and Nico to ourselves for the duration of the safari, making things even more personal. The vehicle was perfect for the long journey, with comfy reclining seats, loads of water, and a couple of comfort stops along the way - one of which being a great viewpoint. The time actually did fly by, with Nioo giving us an insight into the areas we drove through.
We arrived into Masai Mara and had no issues getting through. Our lodge (Mara Serena) was a bit of a drive once inside, meaning we got to see a lot of animals on the way in! We had shuffled our itinerary slightly and had the game drive first, before we were then taken to our lodge, which was absolutely beautiful. We won't talk too much about the hotel here as it was one of many options available through booking with AAA, but will definitely recommend it.
The next day, we had the hot air balloon safari, with some of the other hotel guests. This is an absolute must-do and was beautiful and serene. We then landed for a champagne breakfast, before being returned to our hotel to go on another game drive with Nico. We then parked up for lunch in the plains of the Masai Mara, which was totally surreal. We then had an afternoon game drive before returning to the hotel.
We did get very lucky with seeing a lot of wildlife, however we must give credit to Nico, who went above and beyond to take us round and seek out more and more. He was in comms with the other safari tour guides to listen out for any tips, but seemed to know where to go without them anyway! The vehicle was the best out of the ones I saw in terms of how it is kitted out for safari.
Our final day, we were taken for breakfast by the Hippo river, and then back to Nairobi, incorporating a game drive on the way out again. We were then taken for lunch. This was meant to be at the Carnivore restaurant, however due to delays in crossing the Mara River due to it being too high, by the time we got to Nairobi Carnivore was closed. However, AAA organised somewhere similar and also very good for us to have lunch. We met with Hellen again and were given more gifts, before waving an emotional goodbye.
We were a little anxious in booking the trip purely due to not knowing how it would pan out, but have absolutely no regrets. AAA are amazing. The staff we met were such lovely people and did their utmost to ensure we had the best time. Everything described above was included in the package we booked - there were no surprise expenses or charges. We had so much included in what we paid for the trip, we couldn't really believe it. We would absolutely go again and recommend them to everyone. They were such amazing, genuine people and we felt lucky to meet them and spend time with them in the most beautiful of places.

Provided a wonderful and memorable trip!
I recently went on an 8 day Victoria Falls/Botswana safari planned by Compass Odyssey. My friends and I had a wonderful time, and I really enjoyed the itinerary and the 3 lodges recommended by Compass Odyssey. Darren was very helpful with the planning and very responsive to my questions. The guides were all terrific, and I would definitely recommend Compass Odyssey for trips in Africa.

It was a truly wonderful moment
We recently had the pleasure of joining Abner Safaris for a 3 day trip to Amboseli National Park. This adventure was an incredible experience for us. Amboseli National Park is one of the most historic places in Kenya. We were lucky enough to see a lot of wildlife here including elephants, lions, cheetahs, buffalo and numerous species of birds. The view of Mount Kilimanjaro was not only breathtaking but also breathtaking. It is one of the most amazing places on earth. We did not make a mistake by booking a trip with Abner Safaris. We got everything they told us and thanked them so much for giving us such a memorable adventure. For such a professional, well-organized, and heartwarming safari experience.

The Most Hospitable & Organized Company
We had an unforgettable 7-day safari and 5-day stay in Zanzibar, all booked through Ozon. It was truly the trip of a lifetime! Bahati and Trainee Denis were amazing tour guides—knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly accommodating. They made us feel comfortable from start to finish, always ensuring our needs were met. Transportation was smooth and well communicated throughout our entire trip, with history lessons provided along the way! Communication throughout was excellent. The price was by far the best priced safari/quote for such a high-quality adventure. We’re so grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend this small local company to anyone looking for a well-organized, memorable journey.

Reliable and well organized.
The whole experience was very well organized and left no wishes open. The value for money seems very fair. We have enjoyed everything including the accommodation and of course the actual games.

Cape Town - Victoria Falls - Botswana Safaris
We started out in Cape Town staying at the Victoria & Albert Hotel. Visited the local market on Saturday and then spent the next three days touring with a guide: (1) Table Mountain (2) Cape Peninsula; and (3) Winelands. Food, accommodations and service were excellent. Tours were interesting and guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Fly to Victoria Falls and lunch at the Lookout Cafe followed by a tour of the falls from the Zimbabwe side. Traveled by van to the Zambia side of the falls with a two-night stay at the Royal Livingston Hotel. Walked from hotel to see the falls. Wear sandals and shorts with rain gear and umbrella when visiting the falls. It's wet! Giraffes and zebras roam the hotel grounds, providing a glimpse of what is to come on safari. We traveled to Botswana and spent three nights in four separate safari camps. We started with Chobe Game Lodge on the Chobe River. Safari by boat and jeep twice a day. Lots of elephants, impala, baboons, giraffes. A nice transition into the safari daily routine and staying in the park cut down on drive time. Next stop, Wilderness Savuti, a tented camp in the Linyanti Concession followed by Little Vumbura and finished up with Wilderness Qorokwe. We were assigned a guide for each tented camp stay. Guides were knowledgeable about animals, plants, birds and the local community. Accommodations were nice and staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Food was good! Lots and lots of animals and birds. We were gone for three weeks but it went by fast! Explore & Travel Africa made this the easiest and best trip we have taken. The Travelkey app they use is great; no paper to carry around. And once you are in the safari camps, they take care of your schedule and daily needs, including laundry! Pack light.

Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience with Wagatil Safaris
I had an amazing gorilla trekking safari with Wagatil Safaris, and everything went perfectly from start to finish. The organization was excellent—everything was well-planned and ran smoothly.
Martín, the owner of the company and the person in charge of my trip, was also my driver. He was incredibly kind, respectful, and always attentive to my needs. His driving was safe and professional, and he made sure I felt comfortable and well taken care of at all times.
The gorilla trekking experience itself was breathtaking and something I will never forget, but what truly made the difference was the peace of mind I had thanks to Martín and the way he handled every detail of the trip with care and dedication.
I would recommend Wagatil Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable and good company to organize their adventure. Thank you, Martín, for making this journey so special!
