"My Aug 2017 trip"
I visited Kenya between 9 Aug 2017 and 23 Aug 2017
"The 3 safari destinations (Laikipia + Maara) were great, all of them. The fact that we were first timers probably helped, but we were gobsmacked day after day seeing these beautiful places accompanied by excellent, smart, friendly, local guides.
The bit on the coast a bit less exciting as we were not quite ready to confront the beach boys so we ended up staying inside the hotel most of the time: good thing the hotel was very nice!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I think Richard has done a great job with us, nothing in particular i can think of." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 17 on a Kenya safari

"My First Long Stay In Kenya"
I visited Kenya between 20 Jun 2017 and 4 Jul 2017
"As a whole my first long trip to Kenya was successful and everything took place as planned. The trip gave me a good insight about safaris and background knowledge of the natural world in Kenya, although my stay at Severin Safari Camp could have been better managed. I hope to revisit in the future and I certainly will want to return to Ol Pajete.
Being advised against visiting Lake Turkana was correct. Whilst in Kenya I spoke to people who had visited Turkana and they found the place unbearable because of the heat.
Lastly, thank you James for helping to sort out the trip at such short notice.
P.S. Apologies for the length of my Feedback but my memory got the better of me." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"A good introduction to Kenya"
I visited Kenya between 11 Mar 2017 and 18 May 2017
"Although I have travelled extensively in Africa, it was my first time in Kenya. I'd shied away, mostly worried about huge crowds around sightings. This trip helped dispel that view: it is possible to go to Kenya (so convenient if you only have a short amount of time!) and enjoy the best it has offer in beautiful, remote areas.
Both Kicheche camps were were excellent; I would wholeheartedly recommend them.
And special thanks to Expert Africa for rearranging my itinerary at the last minute, due to safety concerns. I should emphasise that there was absolutely no reason to worry in Ol Pejeta in Laikipia." Read full review: 68 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"A brilliant trip..."
I visited Kenya and 1 other country between 2 Feb 2017 and 20 Feb 2017
"As we usually travel indepenently it was nice to have everything arranged... the only irritation being waiting about for other guests and in one case being paired up with a couple (at Mwagusi) who had very different interests... this was resolved when we tactfully mentioned it to management...
Given our criteria, Expert Africa put together a varied and comprehensive package in Kenya and Tanzania, covering virtually all East African animals and a wide range of terrain and habitats.... Everything worked well, connections and drivers were all perfect....
I would recommend Expert Africa for excellent and worry free safari experience..." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"My Jan 2017 trip"
I visited Kenya between 22 Jan 2017 and 5 Feb 2017
"One of the concerns before starting this trip was that expectations were high and we may be disappointed. That did not happen; the trip exceeded all expectations. The camps and hotels we stayed were fabulous with very welcoming staff who genuinely seemed to care that our stay was more than just being satisfactory. They each had their appeal and purpose and we could not have ask for anything more. The safaris were all great; we are glad we did the conservancies after to talking to other travellers and the guides at every location were top notch. The initial wish list of places to visit was too extensive for a 2 week trip, and the scope had to be decreased. But I am very happy with the places we finally settled on and look forward to seeing more of Kenya (and Africa) in the future.
I cannot say enough about how well logistically everything went and attribute that to Richard at Expert Africa who made the arrangements. I always expect something to go wrong when traveling; it is just the nature of the beast. But I have never had any trip go as smoothly as this one did. We were picked up/dropped off as expected; flights went well; the activities went off with a hitch and were so much fun; and our preferences for food and lodging were always met by the camps. It was a flawless vacation.
We plan on returning to Africa in the future and will return to Expert Africa to help with these plans." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari
