What People Say

Luke B.

My advice to first-timers like us: If you are going to make that kind of commitment, do it right and pick a top-notch travel consultant like Africa Adventure, so that you can fully enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience without stressing over logistics/travel variables. Every travel activity was perfectly executed and on-time, from the time we landed in Nairobi (and got ushered through passport security), to the hotel stay, to the bush flights, to the inter-city commutes. The coordination with the camps/lodges was also outstanding, as everything was perfectly in-place when we arrived. We had no anxiety at any time during our trip and were able to relax and enjoy ourselves totally.

Carol and Phil R.

From the beginning, our experience with AAC was outstanding. We received very personalized attention. We came to AAC through personal friends who highly recommended AAC. All communication was prompt and thorough. Having never been to Africa, AAC created a trip that will forever be at the top of our list.
