"My Nov Kenya 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 2 Nov 2024 and 9 Nov 2024
"Faultless.
A huge, huge thank you to Jessica! She was professional, helpful, patient and insightful from the early stages of our trip planning. She was always quick to reply to emails and was happy to make adjustments if needed. It was lovely receiving our pack in the post.
Every step of our trip was smooth and we never had to wait around or feel anxious about where we were going or who was picking us up. We always felt safe and relaxed.
Everyone person who met us was friendly and punctual. The places we stayed were all excellent and the safari camp in particular has given us unforgettable memories we will treasure.
Thank you Jessica and Expert Africa. We would definitely recommend you and use you in the future- we're already thinking about our next trip!" Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 6 on a Kenya safari

"This is our fourth trip arranged by Expert Africa and we keep coming back because we know that we will always get an excellent holiday.

"My Oct 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 4 Oct 2024 and 20 Oct 2024
"Extremely well organized. Everything ran smoothly. Great locations and overall amazing camps. Only small criticism would be that food is all “western” orientated and camps often had a colonial feel which can jar somewhat.
Having said that, this was the trip of a lifetime. Thoroughly recommend." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Kenya safari

"My Oct 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 1 Oct 2024 and 11 Oct 2024
"We wanted to return to the Serian Camps in the Mara because of the exceptionally amazing experience we had there in 2017 and are expectations were fully met.
The wildlife in the Mara is amazing. We had wonderful, beautiful and exciting sightings every single day.
The camps are wonderful. (We are particularly in love with Nkorombo for it's simplicity and authenticity, but Serian in Mara North is a wonderful camp too)
The guiding is extraordinary good, all staff so attentive and friendly.
Here you are all set for a perfect safari." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"My Sep 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 24 Sep 2024 and 6 Oct 2024
"Superb holiday overall.
Had some wildlife sightings we’d not experienced before but a little disappointed not to see more cheetah as this had been the focus for this trip.
However we appreciate that nothing is guaranteed and the other sightings made up for that." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"My Sep 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 21 Sep 2024 and 7 Oct 2024
"Quite simply the trip of a lifetime - our first proper safari and we loved everything about it.
Parita from Expert Africa gave brilliant advice in putting our trip together. We ended up spending more than we budgeted for, but it was worth it.
I don't know if we will ever be able to do anything like this again, but I hope we can!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"My Sep 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 20 Sep 2024 and 4 Oct 2024
"Fantastic, delivered above what I was expecting!
When booking, I asked for quiet camps where we would not be overrun by other people when game viewing and this is what we got.
We stayed at 2 Kicheche camps, the first at Laikipia and then at Mara North.
Both camps had wonderful game viewing which was slightly different and excellent guides. For our first safari we saw much more than we ever hoped for, lion kills, lions with cubs, hyena stealing part of a lion kill, a cheetah kill, leopards mating, elephants wallowing in a mud bath and the last 2 Northern White Rhinos. These were the highlights but we also saw so much more.
We ended our stay by relaxing at Kinondo Kwetu which had a golden sand beach, lovely large swimming pool and excellent fish suppers." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"Another excellent trip organised by Jessica Plumb and ExpertAfrica.
We have used ExpertAfrica for many trips to Africa and each has been very good. The company understands the types of accommodation and activities we enjoy so can recommend the best camps for us. They delivered again this time. Communication was good and recommendations spot on.
The camp managers all commented on how much they value their relationships with Expert Africa.
One of the managers noted "they have chosen their name well - they are Experts".
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No suggestions - keep up the good work and your staff well informed on each country/camp." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari
