- H5757MHemmanuels0 contributionsSuper serviceThe best tour operator for wildebeest migration. We used them for our trip to Maasai Mara and we had a superb service.Written 19 February 2022
- Resort2695770 contributionsLoved every minute of it!At first, we were considering Wildebeest migration, then we worked with African Authentic Safaris, and we are so glad we did! It was by far the most magical vacation we have ever had. African Authentic Safaris arranged for everything imaginable, and made this trip truly memorable. At one time we were passing other safari vans and vehicles and noticed the packed seats, windows, small spaces, etc. Our vehicles were open-air, just the two of us, and we were thankful we were there and not with a budget tour. The deal they got for us was great, and we would not have changed one thing. Loved every minute of it!Written 16 February 2022

I was really looking forward to this tour and met at the meeting place to find nobody else where. On contacting the company they advised they would make contact with the driver. I was told 45 mins later the tour was cancelled and would take place 5 days later. Very unprofessional as had I been told this on booking it I could have booked a tea or coffee tour elsewhere but instead it was too late to book another. Do not book if you are reliant on going on this tour

We used African Authentic Safaris to plan and manage our recent (September 2021) trip to Kenya. The trip was fantastic, and we are very pleased with the services they provide, our African Authentic Safaris representative. The climax of the trip was an add-on suggested that involved a visit to a purple tea farm with a specialty tea tasting session. We'll definitely use them again.

The purple tea farm tour was excellent. Each specialty tea tasted was different in what it had to offer and we experienced a real feel for African Specialty Teas. The teas we bought to carry home didn't disappoint.
