Kenya: reviews from our travellers

"We have visited places for treks before such as Ireland and Canada. Africa, on the other hand, is a different experience entirely and one that we will recommend to all friends and family for years to come. We will definitely return and were very sad to leave!

Thank you so much Lyndsey, you hit the nail on the head with this one.

Lyndsey listened to every small request we had, nothing was too obscure or silly for her and she made everything work. She tailored a fantastic belated honeymoon for us." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"The trip was rolled over from 2020 so hopes and expectations were high.

It certainly didn't disappoint.

Returning to Kenya was always going to be a treat. The chosen lodges were excellent with just the right amount of time in each.
The whole trip worked well.

We were so pleased to be back!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I cannot think of anything to suggest - it was a wonderful trip with great lodges and lovely people.
All beautifully managed (despite rolling it over from 2020)

I am already thinking about the next trip!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"The holiday exceeded our expectations. It is a lot of money, but we felt we got good value and wonderful experiences. Everything worked very smoothly, staff could not have been more helpful and clearly post-Covid visitors returning is key. We were a little concerned about the election but it has all gone relatively smoothly. The day in Nairobi was very enjoyable - being a Sunday traffic was not a problem.

The only downer was before we went, we had to spend hours battling with the Covid and visa forms - a bit stressful, but Jessica was very helpful (and patient) with us about this and helped as much as possible.

This is our 3rd holiday with Expert Africa and we would book again, but would prefer to have flights included for future holidays, given possible Covid cancellations and hassles." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"This is our 3rd safari and feel that it was far superior to the previous two.

The Hemingways Ol Seki camp, Naboisho Conserivancy and our guide Amos made this trip almost impossible to beat for future travels." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"It was our first time to Africa and a big investment in many ways to mark a special year.

The experience exceeded our expectations and we have made lifelong memories." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"This was our fourth trip with Expert Africa and our first to Kenya having previously visited Tanzania (Selous and Ruaha). As usual, all the arrangements went like clockwork from the initial enquiry back in 2019 (thanks Covid!) to being dropped off at Nairobi airport for our return home.

We had superb guides, great wildlife and cultural experiences and excellent accommodation. We particularly liked having local Maasi staff running the camps and they were all extremely grateful that we were supporting their Conservancies and Communities. It was definitely worth the wait!

Thank you Jessica!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"We had a fantastic holiday.

The only very small hiccup was that when we arrived back at Wilson Airport Nairobi, there was nobody there to collect us to take us to the international airport for our flight home.

A nearby friendly taxi driver took us under his wing and called Southern Cross who clearly didn't have us in their system and eventually arrived 45 minutes late." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"A truly memorable holiday.

Our teenagers declared it the best holiday we've had and did not complain once about all the early mornings.

The camps, wildlife, people and hotels exceeded our expectations.

Having had to wait for 2 years for this trip it more than lived up to expectations and we feel incredibly lucky to have been.

Nothing - just to say a hug thank you for making this such a superb holiday.

Having everything in place made it so much easier and the choice of camps and Asha hotel suited us perfectly. Thank you." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"Your services are terrific, knowledgeable, helpful, prompt and informative.

Richard was always attentive to our needs, and is a pleasure to work with.

We would certainly call him again in the future.

In summary, our experience on our Africa safari was an "11" out of "10"! Absolutely amazing!! Trip of a lifetime!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"A wonderful experience from start to finish. Richard's advice was excellent; he got to know what we would like and found accommodation and travel that suited our needs, soon gaining my confidence. At no point was I frustrated by the process, despite all that covid threw our way and the delay of a year that it caused." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 17 on a Kenya safari
