"A fantastic safari trip"
I visited Kenya between 19 Jul 2015 and 29 Jul 2015
"The trip as a whole was fantastic! I am especially grateful to Richard Trillo, who worked with me through the long process of selecting regions in Kenya to visit, and the sites and the activities. He was very knowledgable and we had a fruitful email "conversation" as we sorted through the details and my wife and I made our choices.
The different parts of the trip - airport pickup with Southern Cross Safaris, the flights, the safari camps and the transfers - all worked together seamlessly.
It was an unforgettable trip, and I feel fortunate to have worked with Richard in crafting it, and am grateful to Expert Africa for having pulled it all together! I will recommend them to friends and family for future travels.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
This is not a complaint as much as something to consider. The trip was a large expenditure - akin to buying a small car, for our family! If it made sense to gather information or provide recommendations on travel insurance, that may be worth considering adding to the Expert Africa portfolio. We ended up using SquareMouth, which worked well for us (caveat: we made no claims)." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"My Jun 2015 trip"
I visited Kenya between 27 Jun 2015 and 6 Jul 2015
"Overall, an awesome experience. Would definitely go back to Kenya.
People were lovely. Guides were great.
The only serious glitch was right up front when the driver wasn't there to collect us. Not a great start after a long flight and we were disappointed and frustrated by this especially when he tried to pretend that he'd been there all the time. Otherwise everything went very well

"My Jun 2015 trip"
I visited Kenya between 14 Jun 2015 and 22 Jun 2015
"Kicheche camp was extremely well run with great service and management.
Rekero was quiet, and a wonderful unique experience, but clearly management is going through a transition. This is understandable.
Walks at Naboisho camp were fantastic, as was the wildlife there. Service was decent but not up to standards of the other camps.
Transfer on the final day in Nairobi with Southern Cross was a disappointment and uncomfortable since the two guys took us to the mechanic to switch vehicles, stopped at an unsolicited tourist shop, got lost, and were nowhere to be found after dinner, requiring us to search the hotel to find them and tell them we were ready to go to the airport."

"Wildlife viewing in Kenya in June"
I visited Kenya between 5 Jun 2015 and 20 Jun 2015
"As someone who has travelled for many years I am a late comer to Kenya and I now regret all those missed opportunities. I first went to Kicheche Mara Camp 15 months ago and loved it so was determined to return. I did so with some trepidation in case I was disappointed but I need not have worried. The whole holiday exceeded our expectations.
The Kicheche Camps are well managed and in beautiful settings with amazing wildlife. They tick the box if you are wanting to stay in comfortable, small, traditional bush camps governed by sound ecological principles.
I have visited many countries to see wildlife and the Masai Mara ranks number one as far as I am concerned. I can understand why Kenya and Kicheche Camps get so many repeat visitors and I will be one them." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 15 on a Kenya safari

"Deep feelings in captivating Laikipia"
I visited Kenya between 3 Apr 2015 and 6 Apr 2015
"The overall experience was very satisfactory and we could very easily go back there. The owners however need to change the driving directions and make them a little bit more precise especially from sb who comes from NBO.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
The service is excellent.
In the beginning I thought that since we live in NBO it would have been very difficult for me to organise our trip with Expert Africa. Eventually it was very easy and the engagement of Richard Trillo made it an incredible experience. He is definitely a person to trust. He loves Africa and he understands exactly what his client is looking for." Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Kenya safari
