Wonderful - 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.

Amazing experience - We recently returned from the most Fantastic Tea Farm Tour near Nairobi city. It was organized expertly by African Authentic Safaris. If you are looking to book an educative Tea tour with emphasis on specialty teas, then your first call should be to African Authentic Safaris.

Great Time! - 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.

Great tea tour but book with another company - The Gatura Farm purple Tea tour was excellent, once we got there. It was so interesting to learn how tea is picked and processed by this hands on experience. The 3 course gourmet lunch was fabulous. We also enjoyed a hike to a waterfall and a dip for those daring people. That said, we booked through African Authentic Safaris, Ltd and there was not good communiction. We were told to meet at a pick-up spot in Nairobi and an unidentified man came up to ask to ask if we were going on the tea tour. "James" told him to pick up 2 people for the tour. He mentioned the African Authentic Safaris, Ltd but he had no identification on his person or on his car. He did not know our names and "James" never mentioned to us a driver's name. He tried calling "James" but got no answer. It wasn't until we decided to risk it and we were on our way that "James" returned the call and we talked to him. I don't think this is a secure way to provide customer service. Our driver turned out to be a fine man. All is well that ends well.

Unprofessional company who are unreliable - 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
