My Aug 2022 trip

Kenya between 22 Aug 2022 and 1 Sep 2022

Trip rating: Excellent
"Great organisation by you guys. Hotel, transfers and camps all great. Appreciated that conservancies and camp staffing seemed to be ethical and not exploitative.
Bit of a nightmare journey home with KLM but that was nothing to do with you!
The handling of the unavoidable 2 year delay was well done by Expert Africa.
We had great personal treatment - most of the time it was just the 2 of us in the 4x4s - terrific for us, not so great for them. Hope for full recovery of tourism!"

Selenkay Adventure Camp

Selenkay Adventure Camp

"Selenkay Adventure Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 23 Aug 2022
"Superb guide and driver, food and staff, excellent. Lots of animal sightings in thick bush in conservancy. Trip to Amboseli excellent. Serious drought South of Nairobi - we saw the effects on some of the animals. - a lesson in the effects of climate change.
Tent basic, as per expectations, but fine and clean. Getting up ready for early morning start a bit tricky in the dark - perhaps we could have done with a bit more light or perhaps learned to switch off solar lamp at night to conserve electricity.
As you warned, Kenya, despite being on the equator, can be chilly. It certainly was. Brilliant that both camps provided heavy Maasi ponchos in the cars - clearly they know that a lot of tourists come lacking sufficient warm layers."

Porini Mara Camp

Porini Mara Camp

"Porini Mara Camp review"

4 nights Arrived 26 Aug 2022
"A marked difference to Selenkay - much greener, less effected by drought.
Appreciated the upgrade. Tent very comfortable. Again, excellent guide and driver. Loads of sightings in the conservancy and big numbers in the Mara. Had hoped to see a river crossing, which didn’t happen on the day we went - but that’s the natural world! We learned to watch animals, particularly cheetahs in a different way - with patience, and allowing drama to unfold with time."

Thanks

Zambia between 6 Sep 2013 and 14 Sep 2013

Trip rating: Excellent
"Special thanks to Ellie, for sorting out my ridiculous mistake with the booking. You were brilliant.

Made the holiday rather more expensive than I'd anticipated(!) but was thoroughly worth it. Your initial advice about where to go was spot on too. Thank you.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

In a word - No. Whole experience was superb."

"Wonderful camp - quieter part of the reserve."

1 night Arrived 7 Sep 2013
"Beautiful camp in a quieter part of the reserve. George's passion and eagerness to share his vast knowledge of the bush was one of the highlights of the holiday.

The routes through the bush are less marked here and Braston and George's driving on the winding tracks and their eagle eyes helped to make my time very memorable. The genuine warmth of the welcome and the thoroughness with which every need is thought about in advance and catered for is remarkable."

Great welcome. Really enjoyable walking transfer to Nsefu.

Only sorry to have missed the lions that seem to regularly walk through the camp!"

Luangwa River Camp

Luangwa River Camp

"Luanga River Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 11 Sep 2013
"The most luxurious of the lodges I went to. Beautiful lodge house with infinity pool! And lovely water features. The rooms are beautiful - mine had possibly the largest private bathroom I've ever seen. Hostess Polly a delight.

The crossing of the river into the park made for a spectacular start to a drive. The Park here is a little busier than at some other places. On one occasion we had the experience of being one vehicle among half a dozen surrounding a pride of lions - I guess this is what it's like in some of the more commercially exploited safari parks elsewhere. Having said that, the rest of the time we managed to avoid other people and the walking in the morning was great."
