"My Jan 2025 trip"

I visited Kenya between 9 Jan 2025 and 27 Jan 2025
"It was a fantastic trip overall and the itinerary for birding was amazing - we saw so many species.

We had great guiding, especially at Kifaru and Tortillis and were lucky enough to get a private vehicle at both. At Elsa’s we shared a vehicle with 2 charming like-minded people so that was great too. All of our dietary needs and other preferences had clearly been communicated and management everywhere could not have done more to accommodate us. Really impressed with Elewana and would recommend them to anyone. All of the transfers were seamless except going from Air Kenya to Safarilink at Wilson.

Not sure if I had to do it again whether I would drive from Amboseli through East Tsavo with a one night stop. It was a long, hot, uncomfortable drive on a container route for the most part, we didn’t see much of Tsavo, and from Satao to the coast was full of day-trippers and their crazy drivers. However, I did get some great birds so…

"Our 40th bday trip"

I visited Kenya between 24 Oct 2024 and 3 Nov 2024
"This was a spectacular trip.

We were impressed by everything from the moment we started communicating with Expert Africa, our travel planner Jessica was attentive to our likes/wants/needs and made sure our trip came together wonderfully even though it was a little bit last minute. There were wonderful unexpected details like mailing us a Kenya guide and luggage tags that added to the delight and anticipation.

The trip itself flowed seamlessly and we didn't have to think about any logistics, we could just enjoy the experience. The places we visited were gorgeous, and we were blown away by the service and facilities at our safari lodge and the beauty of Diani beach.

We were also pleasantly surprised at how good the food was throughout the trip, as this was not something we had high expectations of. We got to do exactly what we'd asked for: enjoy nature, eat well, stay in small hotels, spend almost all our time outside, see lots of animals, and rest by the beach at the end.

This was hands down the best trip we've been on (this is saying a lot because we're big travellers and have high standards) and we've been raving about it since we returned.

Thank you!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari
