About Us

EAST AFRICAN ADVENTURE is an independent, family owned and managed business. We are a specialist operator of adventure travel holidays, but being a family business, we offer our travellers a very personal and flexible service, caring about the trips we offer, the places we visit, and the travellers we take (for acclimatisation reasons, we will not offer a Kilimanjaro climb of less than seven days on the mountain).

We are a father and son team (pictured here on the summit of Mt Meru), and are enthusiastic trekkers, hillwalkers and photographers, active supporters of wildlife conservation in the UK and in Africa, and have worked and travelled extensively in Africa over the last 30 years.

We specialise in adventure holidays to only Tanzania and Kenya, and do not organise trips to any other countries. Our trips involve trekking, walking, and enjoying wildlife and the coast - they are all aimed at enabling our travellers to experience the great East African outdoors and its wild places.

We do feel strongly about the responsibility that we all have for the future of our world, knowing that our actions today will affect our world and its people tomorrow. We hope you feel the same way, and will also want to do your bit for our Environment.

Our local partner in Tanzania (pictured below) is a very experienced and qualified mountain guide and trip leader, with 14 years experience on the big East African peaks and over 150 ascents of Kilimanjaro, and countless others on Mt Kenya and Mt Meru.

The countries of East Africa are special places, and we are proud to be making our modest contribution to their development and future. We offer adventure holidays to East Africa that give our travellers the opportunity to experience its natural beauty for themselves, and hope that after their trip, they too will share our enthusiasm for the wonderful East African countries.

The people of East Africa are very friendly and getting to know the support crew gives our travellers the opportunity to enjoy the friendliness and learn more about the local people and their way of life. If you want to know what our travellers thought of their trip with us, we have some feedback comments and pictures in Client News and Views.

We hope you like our website. Virtually all the pictures we have used are photographs we have taken ourselves during previous visits, and all the information we give is influenced by our African experience.
