Outstanding Masai Mara Conservancies safari Dec 24 to Jan 25 arranged by Expert Africa

Another superb safari arranged by Expert Africa and Claire Scott. The experience of arranging the trip to being under African skies was flawless.

Another superb safari arranged by Expert Africa and Claire Scott. The experience of arranging the trip to being under African skies was flawless. Expert Africa are my go-to Safari provider for a very good reason, they have an exceptional reputation with the camps and lodges and are attentive to your needs as a traveller. It was an outstanding Safari focusing upon the Mara Conservancies and I could not praise Expert Africa, Claire, and the properties that I visited highly enough. Serian and Kicheche locations are superb with expert guides, management, staff, food, and hospitality are of an exceptional standard and are highly recommended. They really did feel like my home in Africa, and meeting likeminded travellers added to the experience. Serian and Kicheche in Mara North, Kicheche Bush Camp and Kicheche Valley camp were truly amazing and I loved every moment of my safari. One day after returning home I began to discuss my next trip with Claire. Thank you, Claire, and all at Serian, Kicheche and in Nairobi who made this such an amazing safari and the memories to last a lifetime.

Expert Africa and their specialist, Claire Scott, were beyond brilliant, providing the most wonderful safari. Claire is so attentive and ensures that she understands her customer that I have every confidence that she knows what I will enjoy and I trust her suggestions implicitly.

Thank you so much Nick for your lovely review and kind words. It’s always a pleasure to help you plan your trips, and I’m very pleased that we are your “go-to” safari provider. I am very happy that this second trip with us went flawlessly and that you had another lovely stay with Kicheche, as I know you love staying at their camps. And thank you booking another trip for the end of this year. Since you like to be away over Christmas and New Year, I’m glad we have already booked and confirmed this third trip for you - I expect it will be just as enjoyable as the first two! Best wishes Claire @ Expert Africa

2024 Kenya and Tanzania Safai

Our trip as a whole met our expectations and went way beyond. We have done nothing but rave about it since we returned home. We have told everyone we have talked to about the trip what a great experience it was and how great it was to work with Richard. Given the opportunity to plan another trip like this, we would certainly be comfortable working with Richard and would highly recommend him and Expert Africa to friends.

Our trip wouldn’t have been nearly as enjoyable without Richard’s efforts and collaboration. He truly made everything come together seamlessly.

Many thanks for your very kind words Brian – we're delighted you had such a successful trip. After your meticulously detailed research and planning, it was a long, ambitious itinerary across Kenya and Tanzania, and we are so pleased that it all worked so well for you. If you do catch the safari bug again, we would be very glad to organise another Africa trip for you! Richard @ Expert Africa

Kenya in September 2024

Arrived in Nairobi. Greeted and guided every step of the way on arrival at the airport to the camps to our eventual departure at the end. Two nights at Tamarind Tree Hotel. Very comfortable, nice pool and well equipped gym. Private tour at Sheldricks well worth seeing baby orphan elephants being fed and bathed. Top notch stays at luxury camps. Especially liked Kicheche Bush Camp. Excellent guides. Lots of opportunities to see all kinds of wildlife ...

Expert Africa was excellent to deal with. Responsive. Very clear communication. Great information on preparing and getting ready for the trip including making sure we considered vaccinations and medications that might be needed. Attentive during the trip when some of our group had medical issues. Very responsive and caring.

Many thanks for your very kind words Rae. I was delighted you had such a great trip - and particularly happy to read in your detailed feedback to us at Expert Africa that you got up very close and personal with Craig, one of the big tuskers in Amboseli. What a moment! Many thanks again for taking the trouble to report back on your trip and review our services in such detail. Don’t hesitate to contact me again the next time you feel the safari mood coming on! Richard @ Expert Africa

Kenya 2024 Lewa conservancy, Amboselli Mara North

the brilliant trip organized by Expert Africa Claire Scott started in Lewa Conservancy at Kifaru house. One of the highlights was a tour of the ranger centre and a visit to the dog tracking service. Amboselli offered lovely views of Mount Kilamonjaro. Mara North at Elephant Pepper House was full of wild life and few humans.

Rating for tour operator:

Expert Africa was my tour operator. They were excellent in guiding me through pre-trip preparations and making sure I was escorted through the various transitions. Because of global unrest involving my home country, I was nervous before my trip and they arranged a phone call to help me through my concerns. Excellent customer service!

Unforgettable journey to the magic of Kenya

My daughter and I journeyed to Kenya to Kicheche Lakipia and Mara and within a 10 day window experienced so many amazing opportunities to see the animals, flora, fauna, birds and people of Kenya. From early in the morning until late in the evening our days were filled with joy, adventure and a new appreciation for the culture of both man and animal in Kenya.

Richard took the time to get to know my daughter and I very well then put together literally the perfect itinerary based on the timeframe and number of days we had to spend in the country. Couldn't have asked for more. Made our journey seem effortless despite flying 20 hours across the globe to get to this amazing adventure.

The perfect Safari

We could not have had a better trip thanks to the efforts of Expert Africa, Little Governors Camp Kenya, and our fantastic guide Tom. We saw every animal we could have wished to see and the six days and nights at Little Governors was simply superb in every way

Rating for tour operator:

Wow what an amazing, unforgettable experience! We have never been anywhere in Africa before so it was very reassuring to have the expertise of Richard ensuring that everything was so organised as well as offering us great advice and answering all our questions. Everything about this holiday was perfect and Expert Africa deserve a lot of credit for that, selecting and recommending amazing accommodation. The website is also one of the best I have ever used- clean and clear layout, easy to navigate, whilst still being very informative with detailed reviews and information. I would without a doubt recommend Expert Africa to anyone thinking about booking a holiday to Africa.
