My family and I had been dreaming of going to Africa for two decades and our dream finally came true! I cannot begin to explain what an incredible experience we had working with Adventure Life, and specifically with Jason Maynard and his assistant Kriska Buison. From the deep knowledge of just about every activity, location and venue, to the patience and perseverance he had in working with us until we crafted the absolute perfect trip. We made a video that captures our experience, two of the most amazing weeks of our life... enjoy! To view it, you can go to YouTube and find my profile xdeanda and find my video "East Africa, summer 2024"

From the initial booking all the way through the trip, this was by far our favorite trip. Small boat travel is the only way to see a location. The excursions were so much more than I could explain. The locations were remote and awesome.
