Tim Giles (USA) I thoroughly enjoyed my adventure with, “AUTHENTIC FITNESS AND ADVENTURE”! I was visiting Nairobi for vacation this summer (August 2025 ) and my friends insisted that I take the safari tour, especially with this company, which came highly recommended! The efficiency of “Authentic Fitness and Adventure “ was an incredible; (from the morning pick, until my return home), was a memorable, and quite pleasant experience ! What really made the trip exciting was my tour guide “George”. This gentleman was; polite, very knowledgeable, and he made the tour fun too! This was one of those experiences that I will remembered for a lifetime!
