"My Jan 2025 trip: Something undoubtedly to be repeated."

I visited Kenya between 28 Jan 2025 and 8 Feb 2025
"This trip more than came up to my expectations. The only previous safari I had been on was 10 years ago, and it was in many ways very different.

My enjoyment of this trip was certainly enhanced by the fact that I had bought the latest iPhone with an outstanding camera so that I was able to take really good photographs of animals and also of birds.

My enjoyment of the trip, as a solo traveller, on this occasion, was increased by the delightful fellow guests I met in the lodge and camps." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"My Jan 2025 trip"

I visited Kenya between 27 Jan 2025 and 7 Feb 2025
"We thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. Claire did a terrific job pulling it together for us.

The weather was unseasonably wet. We had huge rainstorms and cool days at both camps. But it didn’t get in the way of activities. Camp provided wellies and hot water bottles to ensure our comfort.

It was great when the sun finally came out towards the end of the trip and we could enjoy blue skies and heat." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"Jan 2025 mountain gorilla trek and safari"

I visited Kenya and 1 other country between 21 Jan 2025 and 6 Feb 2025
"Richard and Expert Africa did an outstanding job putting our trip together.

From start to finish, we were always welcomed and guided on our way, making for a very stress-free vacation.

Even when one of our short bush flights got changed due to the weather, Richard made alternative arrangements and emailed me the new plan before the camp staff even had a chance to tell me of the change.

I can be quite critical, but I cannot think of a single thing that I would change. You did an amazing job." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"Trip of a life time! Far exceeded our expectations. An amazing overall experience that we will never forget!

Richard was very helpful when we had queries & replied very promptly.

Everything went so smoothly with no hiccups.

What a thrill & experience to finally meet Nancie Wight & travel with her. Nancie was just an amazing & fun person, making everything a breeze! (and we picked up a few photography tips)

"My Jan 2025 trip"

I visited Kenya between 12 Jan 2025 and 6 Feb 2025
"Aside from the wildlife, the most memorable moments of my trip were with the locals that I met and had the privilege of spending time with. Our guides Peter and Simon at Laikipia have ten pairs of eyes and radar when it came to finding animals. Dido at Mara Bush with his engaging smile and impish sense of humor. And Esther and Peter, both of whom are wonderfully charming and always ready to wrap you up in a hug. There are not enough superlatives! I would go back in a heartbeat!"
