"Once in a life time Safari"

I visited Kenya between 7 Mar 2016 and 20 Mar 2016
"This holiday or should I say trip was a very memorable one. I have been to both locations before but my friend had not but I must say that this time was so much better. We both enjoyed the tented camps - bumping along game drives, especially the off track ones. Seeing all the game - landing in Samburu and within 15 minutes seeing a young leopard!!!!!

We are very well travelled but this trip will stick in our memory bank for ever.

Thank you for a very well planned trip.

"OUR AFRICAN EXPERIENCE"

I visited Kenya and 1 other country between 21 Feb 2016 and 13 Mar 2016
"Inevitably it was a bit of a ‘whistle-stop’ tour as we covered a great deal of ground; however all the travel arrangements were quite excellent and our thanks must go to Richard Trillo of Expert-Africa for his advice and organisation; to Gaig Leshan Safaris for all their help; to Asilia Africa; and not least to Alex Hunter at Ol Pejeta for all his kindness and hospitality.

Without exception the management and staff wherever we stayed were friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, whilst the standard of diver/guides was of the highest order.

All in all this was an outstanding trip in every respect. Thank you." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"Half term in Kenya"

I visited Kenya between 13 Feb 2016 and 19 Feb 2016
"An unbelievably fantastic holiday, perfectly possible to do 4 nights safari and a night in Nairobi on arrival without feeling as if your short holiday is rushed. All plans worked like clockwork and my 10 year old loved Naboisho Camp as much as me. Communal dining in the evening worked very well and was like one big dinner party. The school visit was a particular highlight with my daughter having a Swahili lesson with the local school children. The Naboisho Conservancy had the feel of a private safari, with very few other vehicles around. A real treat having had a different experience in the past in the Masai Mara. We spent a day travelling to the Mara which was also wonderful for game viewing. Tim, our driver and guide had an uncanny knack of finding the best game viewing and perfect picnic spots (we had a bush breakfast most days overlooking pods of hippos or giraffe herds). Thank you to everyone who made our holiday so special." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 5 on a Kenya safari
