"My Aug 2024 Kenya trip with 10 yo"

I visited Kenya between 10 Aug 2024 and 20 Aug 2024
"The trip was excellent with everything arranged perfectly bar a small hitch with arranging private game vehicle which I recommend if travelling with children.

Accommodation was above expectation. 3 days on safari with a 10yo is enough and kept him engaged, before heading to the beach for snorkelling etc.

There are a few people on the beach in Diani trying to sell but they are generally polite and can be waved on.

Overall the trip exceeded expectations and we will go back!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"My Jul 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 16 Jul 2024 and 28 Jul 2024
"Your planning was so detailed and thorough that we never had a feeling of being a “stranger in a strange land”. The books we received before we left had everything spelled out and served us well. Our flights to and from Nairobi had a few last minute changes but once we landed in Africa we felt the trip was completely under control. The drivers were there at each airport and the final day after arriving back at Wilson, we were picked up by 3 cars. They took us to a place for us to buy gifts for home and took us to Talisman which was a great place for our final meal.

I didn't have the opportunity to work directly with Chris McIntyre but couldn't be happier with the support we received EA and from our Lyndsey and Parita

Not sure how to rate the value for money above but we knew going into this once in a life time vacation that was not going to be cheap so therefore didn't do a lot of comparison pricing. We went with our friend's recommendation and worked closely with Lyndsey and Parita on the details. Our entire group agreed that this was a perfect vacation and couldn't have been better."

"My Jan 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 25 Jan 2024 and 5 Feb 2024
"It had taken us a very long time to go on Safari, but this holiday was a true life experience. We hoped we would enjoy the holiday but it significantly exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was excellent, the Safari drives were superb, you do have to have a little luck with what you see, but our Guides were so knowledgeable and the fact that we went to smaller camps meant the area was less crowded and only rarely did we see any other cars. The food well exceeded expectations.
Having no idea what the practicalities would be, we asked Jessica loads of questions and she was very patient and helpful.

As we collected our thoughts on the return journey home, we both agreed that this was one of our best holiday experiences, we could not have asked for more!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"A lovely holiday.

Lots of variety and we feel as if we have been away for a long time – always the sign of a good break, I think.

We wouldn’t change anything about the trip." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 20 on a Kenya safari

"OurSep 2023 trip"

I visited Kenya between 15 Sep 2023 and 28 Sep 2023
"Fabulous trip. Learnt a lot even though we have been on many safaris.

Great range of experiences between the 2 camps - loved both of them - and wonderful relaxation at the beach.

I should like to discuss the Wildlife Survey form and the animal sightings you put on your website. I thought looking at your website that these were the animals with some chance% of what we might see. But of course there are lots and lots of others. Also find the more detail bit on this questionairre a bit confusing." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

"My Aug 2023 trip"

I visited Kenya between 9 Aug 2023 and 23 Aug 2023
"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." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"My Aug 2023 trip"

I visited Kenya between 7 Aug 2023 and 19 Aug 2023
"The trip not only met but exceeded my expectations. It was a special holiday for a milestone birthday and a chance to celebrate with my family. We all now have special memories of Kenya, both it's people, it's landscape and it's wildlife. The combination of safari and beach worked very well for us and the input and advice from Expert Africa at the planning stage was much appreciated. There had to be some hasty rearrangements at the start of our trip owing to flight problems from London. Expert Africa responded immediately and got us back on course."
