"My May 2023 trip"
The only negative was Expert Africa wanted a wire transfer vs a credit card. This was a bit of a challenge from the US given all the Internet wire from fraud. That being said I would still highly recommend Expert Africa." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari
"My May 2023 trip"
Anything from discussing with the Expert Africa agent (Jessica) to plan the trip to the actual trip was seamless and very professional. Jessica identified the best place for what we wanted to see (rhinos).
She had everything carefully planned and it all went according to plan.
Kifaru house was amazing and we hope to come back soon!" Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Kenya safari
"Kenya Feb 2023"
Thank you for organising such a wonderful itinerary!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari
"My Feb 2023 trip"
Everything was flawless and it all came together for my best safari yet. I can't really ask for more than that!
Knowing Richard from his online posts, I trust his judgement and experience and I'm so fortunate to have gotten the chance to work with him. He knows the ins and outs of the camps and locations and makes great suggestions. I'm already working on my next safari with him, and see that that's the case again! Thank you Richard!!"

A single sheet (as a pdf) with pictures of all mammals you could see. This could be attached to the wildlife survey. There was a poster on the wall at the Northern White Rhino sanctuary in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari
"My Jan 2023 trip"
Although the advice was to take anti malaria tablets we didn’t see any mosquito at either lodge." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari
"Jan 2023 - Fantastic trip."
We saw some amazing game and were spoilt throughout. The Kenyan people are wonderful and the country is world leading in several areas - such as the long term ban on hunting and the high penalties for poaching which has curtailed such practices. The private conservancies provide an exclusive experience and carry out best practices in game conservation as well as getting buy in from local tribes by ensuring they are compensated and by ensuring traditional grazing can continue but subject to restrictions.
Our one negative comment on Kenya is how the departure experience (arrival is fine) at Nairobi international airport lets the country down - the queues for passport control and the four security scans are excruciatingly long and mis-managed (on airport perimeter arrival, to enter the terminal, at security and again at the gate!!). There were no queues for the BA flight check in and we had fast track status and it took us 1 hour 40 minutes of queuing to get through.
We spoke to a man traveling on a different airline (there were some huge check in queues for other airlines) and the whole process took him 4.5 hours. Our flight was delayed 40 minutes waiting for some passengers. The terminal is too small for the amount of flights and there aren't enough staff. Arrive 3 hours before flying as a minimum.

"Return to Kenya after 36 years"
With hindsight we would have flown from Sand River to Elephant Pepper.
All the staff at the lodges were extremely welcoming and helpful." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

I cannot praise Expert Africa highly enough. They are a great team and I would not for a moment consider asking any other company to organise my trips. They have always excelled at putting in place all the arrangements needed to realise a highly successful safari. Richard Trillo is always happy to discuss requirements and tailor arrangements to achieve total satisfaction." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari
"What a wonderful holiday!"
Everything went smoothly, Expert Africa's advice was spot-on, and all the arrangements made by Jessica, our consultant, were flawless.
Thank you so much ... we will definitely come back for more!
