"My Jan 2023 trip"
We loved the small touch from Expert Africa of being welcome by a staff just before immigration.
After such a long flight, it is always a nice surprise not to queue for passport control." Read full review: 43 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari
"My Jan 2023 trip"
Every detail and all logistics went seamless. The communication with Richard was excellent from the very beginning.
The safari tours, hotels and drivers were all perfect and went according to plan. I really enjoyed the aviation services and drivers at Nairobi. Airlines were all on time and the safari camps were the best we've ever experienced.
My husband and I will remember this trip for a lifetime.
I will not hesitate to use Expert Africa again when I plan my next trip to Africa.

"Amazing first family safari trip"
The plan to start in Laikipia to see Rhino and the superb scenery then moving to Masai Mara, where game is more abundant but scenery less varied was a great call.
The choice of camps also worked very well. Lewa Safari camp is larger, more facilities and activities so a gentle introduction to safari for our kids, their first safari trip, followed by Encounter Mara - more rustic but absolutely charming. Loved the Eco focus on both camps too.
Our kids, girl (nine) and teen (twelve) absolutely loved it and are now truly bitten by the safari & Africa bug.
Big Thank You to Jessica & Expert Africa colleagues and the wonderful guides and camp staff at Lewa Safari Camp and Encounter Mara.

Loved the guide book and travel wallet. Thank you
Maybe prepare a list of guide books on animals and add to your pack? We asked Jessica and got some great suggestions.
Really useful info re travel insurance as most companies sneakily avoid giving their clients adequate cover." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari
"My Dec 2022 trip"
Would highly recommend the Expert Africa who've arranged this for us.
Arrangements were great and the whole trip ran without a hitch." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari
"My Oct 2022 trip"
Loved the contrast between the three camps in terms of terrain, wildlife and very impressed with conservation initiatives. We could watch the animals while respecting their natural environment.
Absolute magic!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"My Oct 2022 trip"
Our accommodations in the conservancies balanced comfort with an authenticity you would expect from being in the heart of the Maasai Mara wilderness. Food and beverages were wonderful and catered to every dietary requirement. The wildlife sightings were abundant and we enjoyed all manner of behavior… the majestic presence of elephants, the playful whimsy of lion cubs, the drama of a leopard protecting its kill… and countless times the camera was put aside in favor of the cell phone for photography, as the animals were too close for the zoom lens!
Bottom line, whether you choose to go with family, friends, your partner... or alone... you must simply go! Your only disappointment will be the realization that your time in Kenya has come to an end...
