east africa adventure tours and safaris - day tours

Can't say enough positive about the totally enjoyable high value four day trip to Lake Nakura and the Maasai Mara. We chose not to go full bore each day but opted for a leisurely pace with some rest breaks at the resorts. Even with that schedule our amazing guide, driver, and premier game spotter, Sammy, delivered the goods. We saw over thirty different species, several feeding lion prides, the Big Five including a very photogenic male leopard moving about in his favorite tree. Great value. Great fun. Two large elephant herds completed perfectly our last half hour on the trails. Way to go Sammy!! And the 4 x 4 is the way to go.

We did a 16 day safari with East Africa Adventure in July and I can't say enough good things about them. Everything was beyond our expectations. From the beginning planning, Fred was invaluable with his itinerary and suggestions. He always answered my many questions and concerns very promptly. When we had an issue with a side tour boat ride, Fred arranged for us to visit a Masai village paid for by East Africa, even though it was no fault of his company. We always felt like we were getting special treatment from this safari company. Even some meals that we thought we would have to pay for, were covered. All of the accommodations that Fred booked were excellent, from the lodges to the tented camps. From Trip Advisor reviews, we requested Leonard as our guide in Kenya. He has a special knack for finding all the animals probably due to his 18 years of experience. The first couple of days we had a bit of trouble understanding each others accents, but after that it was fine. Leonard was extremely knowledgeable about Kenya and it's wildlife. We learned an amazing amount of things in our 11 days with this quiet, caring gentleman. Next we had 5 days in Tanzania with Jamal, who was a totally different personality. Jamal worked equally hard to make sure we saw everything we wanted. My husband mentioned that he would like to see one of the big cats hunting and Jamal found lionesses hunting twice and we saw a cheetah catch a gazelle. Jamal was very friendly, outgoing and knowledgeable. Both of our guides went beyond what was expected, to take care of us and make this experience a trip of a lifetime. I would not hesitate to recommend either of them.We had Kizito as our driver/guide for our 1 day in Nairobi. He was very pleasant and worked hard to ensure that we saw everything we had planned.Our only issue was that we used our credit card and our final payment was deducted twice. It took us 3 months to finally settle this, with their bank sending us the refund in 3 separate payments each of which we had to fight for and pay fees for. I believe that this mix up was the fault of the Kenyan Bank, not East Africa Adventures. Fred tried his best to get this matter settled but their banks are not at all like what we are used to. My advise would be to avoid using your credit card. There was a 5% extra charge to pay by credit card, probably because of the company's hassle of having to deal with the Kenyan banks which are very unreliable.Over all, it was a fantastic trip and I would recommend East Africa Adventure Tours.

EAATS is an amazing tour company, to say the least. I was given the task to plan a trip to East Africa (Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania) for a group of 10, including kids under 3 and seniors over 70. Our ideal itinerary was very specific and Fred made it come to fruition for us. I was not an easy customer, as I had many questions, requests and itinerary changes in the 10 months it took to plan this trip, but Fred handled each and every one of them promptly and professionally. In the end, the trip was phenomenal...better than any of us could have imagined.

Had an unforgetable visit to Massai Mara last weekend with this company as the operator. The director Fred gave me an competetive offer and arranged the whole trip as we wanted to have it. The driver Leonard picked us up at the hotel on Saturday morning and drove us safely to Massai Mara. Leonard also guided us through the national park with very good knowledge about the park and the animals. The Sarova lodge was also excellent nicely situated in the park with an extremely welcoming staff.
