"My Aug 2018 trip"
I visited Kenya between 27 Aug 2018 and 6 Sep 2018
"Very satisfactory is overstating it a bit, but the main detractor was the weather and one can't legislate for that."

"My Aug 2018 trip"
I visited Kenya between 25 Aug 2018 and 7 Sep 2018
"Fabulous trip, would do it all again!
Excellent organisation from Expert Africa.
Thank you for all your help.we felt safe in all the camps as there are short wave radios in the rooms with guards on at night.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Warn people it can be very cold even though it’s on the equator! Woolly hat would have been good!
The standard of hygiene was very good in all the camps. Drinking water provided ." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

"Kenya safari 2018 "
I visited Kenya between 25 Aug 2018 and 7 Sep 2018
"Vary enjoyable given the circumstance, obviously some days very hard as Peter had organised this and he wasn't there to share it.
Only reservation, final camp would have been better if they told me what the routine re securing tents in the evening was - on first night escorted to camp by guard but it was pitch dark and on my one felt a little scared. However they did sort it out for the other nights making sure that the blinds were all down and the lights were left on.
Generally felt very safe despite being on my own." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

"My Aug 2018 trip"
I visited Kenya between 23 Aug 2018 and 31 Aug 2018
"My trip was brilliant!
Combining Kicheche Laikipia and Kicheche Mara provided variety and also continuity in their shared ethos of commitment to the animals, environment, local community and to their guests being cared for and to providing the best possible guiding experience. Both conservancies offer lovely landscape and a great variety and number of animals.
Expert Africa (Richard!) organized the trip so well and thoroughly that, travelling alone, I felt continually looked after." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"My Mar 2018 trip"
I visited Kenya between 1 Mar 2018 and 12 Mar 2018
"The trip was truly wonderful and I hope to return to Kenya one day.
I have traveled extensively in Africa, but this was my first trip to Kenya. It is a totally different experience and I attribute the success to our wonderful guides at each camp.
The animal life is astonishing as is the bird life.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
One suggestion: provide more detail about applying for the e-visa...advise people that they need to log onto the site after several days to get the visa.
This is not very clear on the Kenyan site." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"Amazing"
I visited Kenya between 31 Jan 2018 and 13 Feb 2018
"This was our first trip with Expert Africa and to Africa.
We probably did not know exactly what to expect. We would do some things differently if we were to return to Kenya. The game drives were amazing and all the guides were terrific.
Also, visiting a village while at Saruni Sambur , a school and the Maa Trust while at Nabisco was terrific. Horse back riding and climbing up to Pride Rock at Borana were unique and fun experiences.
Our last day in Nairobi, with a wonderful guide, was great. We had a lovely lunch and visited the Giraffe Center and the David Sheldrick Elephant Refuge. Meeting our Emoli, the elephant we adopted was truly a highlight." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"This was a wonderful safari, with smooth connections, the right kind of lodges and camps that met all of our needs, top-notch guiding, and plenty of wildlife (including a number of first-time sightings for us, as this was our first safari to East Africa)."
