"My Feb 2024 trip"
I did not enjoy the two middle camps, and apart from the last camp the volume of plains and other game was sparse. We have been to many countries in the area through your company, and others. We have also been to Mara and other Kenya areas many years ago.
This was not our best trip with you." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari
"My Feb 2024 trip"
We couldn't fault any aspects of our trip, the service, or our overall experience.
Not having spotted a leopard, we have every incentive to come back!

"My Feb 2024 trip"
To make this point clearer, on arrival at the airport to depart Nairobi it looked like total chaos and we could only park some distance from the terminal. I thought how are we going to know where to go and carry our bags. The driver opened our door and there was the guide with a trolley for our luggage. He guided us to the priority check in and ensured a smooth process. This illustrates our experience throughout." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 15 on a Kenya safari
"My Jan 2024 trip"
I greatly appreciate the end to end service that Expert Africa provides, which takes away any little worries concerning travel arrangements.
The 'meet and greet' service and the use of a hotel room between flight connections is a particularly welcome feature." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
"My Jan 2024 trip"
"Fantastic Jan 2024 trip"
"My Jan 2024 trip"
Having no idea what the practicalities would be, we asked Jessica loads of questions and she was very patient and helpful.
As we collected our thoughts on the return journey home, we both agreed that this was one of our best holiday experiences, we could not have asked for more!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari
