Kenya: reviews from our travellers

"We originally made a booking for November 2022 and the full amounts payable had been remitted.

As a result of my wife having to undergo a shoulder operation soon after the booking we had to postpone the trip. Richard from EA was very helpful in arranging for changing the dates to January 2023 without any penalties from the camps where the bookings had been originally made."

It was the most perfect time, with a combination of amazing hotels and being lucky to see a wide breadth of different wildlife.

We felt so lucky to be able to experience this and the hospitality shown by all the staff was next level, they really made you feel special" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"Another great trip, thank you Expert Africa. A seamless experience. High quality and comfortable accommodation and delicious food. Lots of highlights, the main ones being a black leopard, wild swimming in the bush, finding a wild dog (albeit in the far distance), and sailing an ngalaw."

"Wonderful Kenya trip with two solid, very different and serious camps.

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

"I did a lot of research on companies and I am so thrilled that we used Expert Africa.

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. Jessica provided great advice and organised a wonderful trip for us. We were so fortunate to see the big 5 in a single 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
