  • The best family holiday we have ever had!

    A massive thank you to Joseph and team for all your effort to organise our holiday. It was the best family holiday we have ever had. The safari was great and Eric our driver was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and looked after us so well. Zanzibar was beautiful- we loved the Alma and the beach there. We really enjoyed our trips there too which were all organised in advance by Dream Afrika - The Spice Farm was definitely our favourite. We would definitely go back to the Alma again. Joseph was always in communication with us throughout the trip to make sure everything was going well. The team really went the extra mile to make sure we had a fabulous holiday. I would highly recommend Dream Afrika and would definitely book direct with them again.

  • A confident partner for your trip

    We contact them from Spain and we customized one of their tours by mail in a very smooth and professional way. Easy to speak with them in English and they always send you a document with the deal’s updates. We felt comfortable with this way of working. At our arrival to Kenia we were received by our guide Mugweru who made our experience memorable and funny. A great guy and a professional guide! The transport during all the trip was made with a van very clean and comfortable, perfect for the adventure! The only misunderstood that we had with them was an extra cost activity (30$pp) which was included at the last moment in the deal. We still recommend to select Dream Africa Tours for your trip.

  • Super professional tour operator

    I had the most incredible 8-day safari experience with this tour operator, exploring Nairobi, Amboseli National Park, Nakuru National Park, Naivasha Lake, Mt. Longonot, and Masai Mara National Park. The tour was fully tailor-made to our preferences, making it a truly personalized adventure. The standout feature of this experience was the exceptional service provided by the team. Imelda who made our itinerary displayed an impressive level of professionalism and genuine helpfulness. Not only did she expertly organize our tour, but she also provided invaluable support when we encountered a visa-related issue. Her assistance made our trip seamless and stress-free. Our driver Toni was incredibly professional and attentive to our every need. He ensured that we felt comfortable and safe throughout the journey. The vehicle provided, a spacious 4x4 mini van, was not only comfortable and reliable, but it was also immaculately maintained. Each evening, Toni diligently cleaned both the interior and exterior of the vehicle. Despite the high quality of service, their prices were more than reasonable, offering incredible value for the unforgettable experience we had. I wholeheartedly recommend this agency to anyone seeking a memorable and well-organized safari adventure. From the itinerary planning to the on-ground support, they exceeded all expectations.

  • Great service, very recommendable

    We went on a five-day safari and had excellent encounters with almost all animals that live in Kenya. Our contact in the office kept in touch and all special requests were accepted. Our driver did a great job and drove very well. He had contact to the other drivers so we got to see the best views. We was always punctual and polite and he also answered all kinds of questions.

  • Amazing Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari

    Imelda did such a great job of organizing our Kenyan Safari for us that we asked her to organize one in Tanzania as well. She prepared a 5 day, 4 night custom, private tour with 2 nights at Serena Serengeti and 2 nights at Serena Ngorongoro and it was wonderful. Jojo with Shidolya tours was our guide and driver and he was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. He was amazing at finding animals. We saw a mother cheetah with 2 babies, 4 Leopards, many Lions including 2 sets with Cubs, elephants, jackets, hyenas, giraffes, buffalo, hippo, zebra and so many birds. The lodges were both lovely. Both rooms were nice and had balconies, the views at Ngorongoro were amazing. The food was good at both places with vegetarian options for us. The people were friendly and helpful. Everything went as planned with no problems. On the last day Jojo dropped us off and helped us catch a bus to Kondoa. We would highly recommend Dream Africa Tours, Shidolya tours, Imelda and Jojo.

  • Exceptional!

    My friends dragged me along to this trip but this was the tour I never knew I needed! They made sure we had the best service for a fairly reasonable price and took care of everything on time. Thank you Dream Africa Tours, this going to make a hell of a story for the grandkids one day.

  • Absolutely fantastic experience

    I had an 8-day adventure covering Nairobi, Amboseli NP, Nakuru NP, Naivaha Lake, Mt. Longonot, and Masai Mara NP. Our driver, Toni, was incredibly professional and attentive. Imelda provided invaluable support throughout the planning process. A highlight was the unforgettable sunset aperitif organized for us in Amboseli. Highly recommended tour agency!
