Africa Tours and Trips for Young Adults

As soon as I met up with the group on day 1 I felt reassured that I had made a great decision to travel with Contiki to Kenya. Within a couple of hours we were already in Nairobi National Park looking at the rare white rhinos, giraffe, elephant, hippo to name a few... Our guide and the team were amazing and there was never a dull moment. Seeing both the amazing wildlife the country has to offer and cultural insights, including visiting a Maasai tribe and the charity work of Mirrors of Hope, I felt enhanced the experience massively. I felt as though I came away from the trip understanding more about this beautiful part of the world thanks to our guide. Another consideration I had was the weather, given I visited at the beginning of the rainy season, but the truck was covered (unlike most safari vehicles), so my waterproof stayed in my bag. Another highlight was the food cooked by the team which was delicious and always hit the spot, but stops along the way were nice to top up on snacks and coffee too! The safari and scenes over the savannah are images that I will never forget... particularly sunrise over Mt. Kilimanjaro.

My Kenya trip with Contiki was truly unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I was immersed in the stunning landscapes and vibrant culture. We started our adventure exploring Nairobi, getting a taste of the city's bustling energy. Then, we headed out on a safari in Maasai Mara, where I saw incredible wildlife—lions, elephants, giraffes, and more—up close and personal. The experience of sunrise over the savannah was unforgettable. We also visited local villages, learning about Maasai traditions and connecting with the community. The trip was a perfect mix of adventure, cultural immersion, and relaxation. The group was fantastic, and our guides made everything seamless and fun. Overall, it was an inspiring journey that left me with lifelong memories and a deeper appreciation for Kenya’s natural beauty and rich culture.

This trip was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! We enjoyed every moment. The scenery was absolutely breath-taking, the people were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and the animals were simply beautiful. Seeing them up close in their natural habitat was an awe‑inspiring moment I’ll never forget. For anyone even thinking about taking this trip and feeling unsure—do it. You won’t regret it!

My trip manager was absolutely amazing, was able to coordinate everything and more for us. Including any excursions you may not see on existing itinerary, he was a pro at. Was nice to turn your brain off and just enjoy. I had expectations of seeing pyramids and was blown away by everything more we did. Soooo much fun. Book Egypt and the Nile! I

Perfect mix of Safari, beaches, adventure and adrenaline. The knowledge and of the trip manager and all the safari guides was exceptional and their passion and love for Africa was contagious.

Our 8-day Lemosho Route Climb was a wonderful opportunity to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with our companions from India and family members from the United States of America. The Sales Team supports a high level of responsiveness to customers' needs during the booking process. We felt an immediate connection with the Aardvark Expeditions Limited because of the quick response times and open and honest communication etc. Our head guide, Fred and assistant guide Bariki were excellent leaders who provided good guidance and concern for all climbers throughout the entire Kilimanjaro Trek. They kept climbers safe, happy and comfortable throughout each stage of the trek. We reached the summit of Kilimanjaro with a sense of accomplishment, confidence and pride. For us, this climb was about the journey and the people who helped us along the way to reach the summit. We highly recommend this team to anyone looking to climb Kilimanjaro.
