Horseback riding and bush camp safari in Kenya

I spent four days in Laikipia horseback riding and animal viewing, and then four days in the Mara at a bush camp viewing animals via Land Cruiser.

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 ...

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.

Very attentive travel consultant and faultless organisation throughout. Highly recommended.

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.

Breathtaking Trip to Kenya in July 2022

My trip was absolutely incredible - more wildlife than I could've imagined, and we caught some fabulous moments like a river crossing and a hunt. Couldn't have asked for a better holiday, and already thinking about when I can go back.

Excellent trip to the Massai Mara

We had another excellent 10 night trip to a number of camps in the Maasai Mara organized as always by Expert Africa. Despite the weather being somewhat unseasonable for the time of year we thoroughly enjoyed the sightings and experience of visiting such a beautiful part of the world
