A dream come true holiday experience with afc in the Kenyan tropical terrain with an optimum temperature ranging between 14 and 24 degree C !!! Thank you AFC for motivating us with promises of an awesome Kenyan Safari . We thoroughly enjoyed the panoramic views of the wheat fields and the ripe savanna where we were fortunate to spot all the big 4 ( minus the Rhino) and many others. The travel arrangements, comfy accommodation and the delicious cuisines gave us a well executed holiday experience. Thanks to afc and team and looking forward to our Eid Tour of Europe.

I recently had an incredible experience with AFC Holidays during my 8-day trip to South Africa using their Eid Al Adha Package. As a family traveling with a child, our experience with AFC Holidays was nothing short of amazing. The hotels provided were good, the itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and the interconnection flight arrangements were seamless. South Africa is a destination that requires some caution, but AFC Holidays went above and beyond to ensure that we were well-informed about the necessary precautions. They briefed us thoroughly on safety measures, allowing us to explore the country with peace of mind. AFC Holidays truly knows how to deliver a perfect travel experience. I would like to mention AFC staff, my contact person at AFC Holidays. He provided accurate and detailed information, ensuring that I was well-informed about the trip, and clarified all my queries patiently. Additionally, the AFC Team efficiently facilitated my visa process, smoothing the entire experience. Being our first time with AFC Holidays, we were extremely impressed with their professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction. I highly recommend AFC Holidays for their exceptional services and look forward to planning my future trips with them.
