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.

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

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.

Fantastic safari holiday in Kenya

We stayed for three nights each at two Kicheche tented camps - in Laikipia (Ole Pejeta Conservancy) and the Valley Camp (Naboisa Conservancy) in that Masai Mara. We had sightings of the big 5 and many more fantastic animals and birds, with our expert guides Peter and Bernard, respectively. Both camps were well-appointed, the accommodation was very comfortable and the food was excellent. Prior to the safaris, we stayed at Hemmingways, Nairobi ...

Both camps were well-appointed, the accommodation was very comfortable and the food was excellent. Prior to the safaris, we stayed at Hemmingways, Nairobi - a first class hotel - and afterwards at Sands at Charle Island on the Indian Ocean which was a good place to unwind.

Trip of a Lifetime - We've Got the Safari Travel Bug

We had a wonderful honeymoon trip to Kenya and Tanzania. We spent 4 nights in Kenya (3 of them on Safari) and the rest in Tanzania split between safari and Zanzibar. We stayed at 4 different safari camps in the Maasai Mara, Serengeti, and Ruaha, and each of them was incredible. Our honeymoon was the trip of a lifetime and now we can't wait to plan our next safari adventure.

Rating for tour operator:

Expert Africa planned our 2+ week honeymoon trip to Kenya and Tanzania (incuding Zanzibar) in August 2021. It was originally planned for summer 2020 but due to covid had to be rescheduled. The Expert Africa team is professional and skillful at what they do. This was our first safari, and they delivered 1000%! While on safari we heard stories from other travelers about bad experiences with travel companies who had booked poor accomodations, planned flights that they couldn't make, and all other sorts of mishaps. We didn't have a single thing go wrong on our trip which was slightly over two weeks long! When I say everything went off without a hitch, I mean it. And that is saying a lot given that we traveled during covid and had to have covid tests every time we changed locations. We had the pleasure of working to put together an itinerary that fit our budget, timeline, and requests. The team was willing to go through things with us multiple times until we landed on the perfect trip. And it was a perfect trip! Everything was executed to perfection, and we were kept informed at every step about what was happening etc. Before we left for our trip we had a finalized itineary and all our flight tickets in hand. Most importantly, I felt confident that if something were to go wrong on our trip, the Expert Africa team would be there for us to help make it right ASAP. My confidence wasn't misplaced.

We are absolutely delighted that these travellers had such a wonderful and memorable honeymoon safari. It was a pleasure planning this special trip, and we are so pleased to hear everything went to plan, despite all of the various Covid challenges and tests! Thank you for your kind words.
