African Adventure Vacation: A Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience
My recent safari trip with African Adventure Vacation was nothing short of extraordinary. From the first point of contact to the final farewell, the entire experience was seamless, enjoyable, and exceeded all my expectations. If you’re considering a safari adventure in Africa, I wholeheartedly recommend this company for their professionalism, value, and personal touch.
Excellent Communication
One of the standout aspects of African Adventure Vacation was their outstanding communication. From the moment I reached out to inquire about their safari packages, their team made it incredibly easy to get all the information I needed. We communicated effortlessly via email, WhatsApp, and phone calls. This multi-channel approach made it extremely convenient to ask questions, clarify details, and finalize our itinerary. Every message was answered promptly and thoroughly, which gave me peace of mind and made the planning process stress-free.
Great Value for Money
When it comes to value, African Adventure Vacation truly delivers. I compared several safari operators before making my decision, and I found that their prices were very competitive without compromising on quality. The accommodations were comfortable, the vehicle was well-maintained, and the meals provided were delicious. Every aspect of the trip was thoughtfully arranged, ensuring that we received excellent value for the money we spent. There were no hidden costs or unpleasant surprises everything was transparent and straightforward.
Friendly and Professional Staff
The warmth and kindness of the African Adventure Vacation team made our journey even more special. From the office staff, Robert in specific, who helped us with bookings, even though we had to reschedule multiple times! To the guides and drivers we met along the way, everyone was genuinely welcoming and eager to ensure we had a memorable experience. Special mention must go to our guide, Gerald, who was truly exceptional. Gerald’s knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture was impressive, and his passion for his work was evident throughout the trip. He made every game drive exciting and educational, and his friendly demeanor made us feel right at home.
Highlights: Chimpanzee and Gorilla Trekking
While the entire safari was filled with breathtaking moments, the highlights for us were undoubtedly the chimpanzee and gorilla trekking experiences. Trekking through the lush forests in search of these incredible primates was both thrilling and humbling. Seeing chimpanzees in their natural habitat was fascinating. Spending time with a gorilla family, observing their interactions up close, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget. The guides ensured our safety and comfort throughout, and their expertise added immense value to these excursions.
Final Thoughts
In summary, our safari with African Adventure Vacation was a dream come true. The company’s excellent communication, great value for money, and the friendliness of their staff, especially our guide Gerald, made the trip truly unforgettable. The chimpanzee and gorilla trekking experiences were the icing on the cake. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and customer-focused safari operator, look no further than African Adventure Vacation. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Awesome experience, very kind people, super organization!
Thanks to all the people from ‘Best time Adventures’ who were involved in our 2-day-Safari Trip to Ngorongoro and Tarangire and made it an unforgettable experience. We were positively amazed at how well organized it was. We were extremely satisfied with our driver, the accommodation, the food – all was perfect. We‘ve seen a lot of different animals and were impressed by the beautiful landscape.

Amazing wildlife experience
We got picked up early in the morning in Nairobi for our 2-day Masai Mara safari during the great migration. Every went well en the communication with the tour operator was very good. When we arrived at the accommodation we got lunch and after lunch we checked in for our tent. The tent was pretty decent and you have your own bathroom which is pretty descent for a budget tour. After checking in and relaxing for a bit we went for our first game drive in the Masai Mara, it was amazing, everywhere you looked you saw herds of wildebeests, loads of zebra's, impala's, some elephants, buffalo's, Lions and a lot of other animals. When we came back at the accommodation we found out that on the 2-day tour we only had a few hours on the second game drive the next day and that we wouldn't go to the iconic river the next day so we asked our driver Okindo if we could extend our safari by one more day. He immediately started calling the office and everything was arranged very quickly because of the great communication.
The next day we had a very early breakfast and after that we left the accommodation to go on our second game drive, again we saw the most amazing sightings of animals. Everywhere you looked there were so many big herds of Wildebeests with zebra's, we also saw loads of giraffes, impala's, hartebeests, elephants, lions. At the end of the morning we went to see hippo's and crocodiles at a river and after that we had lunch.
After lunch we went to the river to hopefully see the migration cross the river, but after waiting for a total of more than a hour we decided to drive around in the park again because they just didn't cross unfortunately. It's sad that we didn't see the river crossing but it's nature and everything happens on natures terms but in the end I had one of the most impressive experiences of my life!
Okindo was a great tour guide with a lot of experience. He tried to make sure that everybody had the best time possible. He did amazing and the future groups that he has to guide are lucky having him as their guide.

A Plus Service
I found Wild Kruger on Google and took the chance of booking a group tour of the Garden district up the eastern coast of Africa. We went a far as the Addo Elephant park. Had a great time.
Working with Johan Buyes was fabulous. The prompt communication through WhatsApp made me feel confident that I had made a good choice. Johan was quick to answer even simple questions that made us feel better prepared for the trip. I was pleased with the cost of the trip, which included very nice accommodations. Thanks Johan.
