"My Jan 2025 trip"
I visited Kenya between 12 Jan 2025 and 6 Feb 2025
"Trip of a life time! Far exceeded our expectations. An amazing overall experience that we will never forget!
Richard was very helpful when we had queries & replied very promptly.
Everything went so smoothly with no hiccups.
What a thrill & experience to finally meet Nancie Wight & travel with her. Nancie was just an amazing & fun person, making everything a breeze! (and we picked up a few photography tips)
Thank you Expert Africa, Richard & Nancie!

"My Jan 2025 trip"
I visited Kenya between 12 Jan 2025 and 25 Jan 2025
"I always recommend Expert Africa for their amazing service and attention to detail. The whole process is clear and efficient. Not only are their personnel friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable but they treat return customers (of which they must have very many!) as old friends (which we are!).
I cannot recommend them highly enough and would not dream of planning my safaris without them.

"My Jan 2025 trip"
I visited Kenya between 9 Jan 2025 and 27 Jan 2025
"It was a fantastic trip overall and the itinerary for birding was amazing - we saw so many species.
We had great guiding, especially at Kifaru and Tortillis and were lucky enough to get a private vehicle at both. At Elsa’s we shared a vehicle with 2 charming like-minded people so that was great too. All of our dietary needs and other preferences had clearly been communicated and management everywhere could not have done more to accommodate us. Really impressed with Elewana and would recommend them to anyone. All of the transfers were seamless except going from Air Kenya to Safarilink at Wilson.
Not sure if I had to do it again whether I would drive from Amboseli through East Tsavo with a one night stop. It was a long, hot, uncomfortable drive on a container route for the most part, we didn’t see much of Tsavo, and from Satao to the coast was full of day-trippers and their crazy drivers. However, I did get some great birds so…

"My Jan 2025 trip to Kenya"
I visited Kenya between 7 Jan 2025 and 24 Jan 2025
"I have traveled to Africa numerous times with different operators and professionals. I can honestly say that my experience with Expert Africa was by far the best.
Right from the go, starting with the first discussions regarding my itinerary to the last day and after my return, it was such a pleasure. They took care of every little thing, beyond my expectations.
The documentation was detailed and sent to me via email and then by post as well. At every step Parita was there to check if everything was alright and if I needed anything. Reminders in a timely fashion just in case I had forgotten something. Follow up after my return to welcome me back and enquire if I had any difficulties. All very professional and caring.
Highly recommended.

"Our trip with Expert Africa was phenomenal - the 5* reviews made total sense. We were looked after at every stage - from booking, to being greeted at the airport, to our food requirments being met and being in beautiful places. We made memories that will last a lifetime."

"My Dec 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 28 Dec 2024 and 6 Jan 2025
"It was wonderful, I've wanted to go on a safari all of my life and the trip exceeded even my incredibly high expectations!
I'm so grateful for all of the help and support I had from Parita in planning this trip. Her recommendations were perfect and we had the holiday of a lifetime.
The only problem is that this was supposed to be a once in a lifetime trip but we all just want to go back next year!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 6 on a Kenya safari

"My Dec 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 20 Dec 2024 and 8 Jan 2025
"Another superb safari arranged by Expert Africa and Claire Scott. The experience of arranging the trip to being under African skies was flawless. Expert Africa are my go-to Safari provider for a very good reason, they have an exceptional reputation with the camps and lodges and are attentive to your needs as a traveller.
It was an outstanding Safari focusing upon the Mara Conservancies and I could not praise Expert Africa, Claire, and the properties that I visited highly enough. Serian and Kicheche locations are superb with expert guides, management, staff, food, and hospitality are of an exceptional standard and are highly recommended. They really did feel like my home in Africa, and meeting likeminded travellers added to the experience.
One day after returning home I began to discuss my next trip with Claire.
Thank you, Claire, and all at Serian, Kicheche and in Nairobi who made this such an amazing safari and the memories to last a lifetime.

"Kenya - December 24"
I visited Kenya between 19 Dec 2024 and 5 Jan 2025
"A very enjoyable trip overall.
The variety of areas visited was fantastic and wildlife was really plentiful. Best camp of the trip was without a doubt Kicheche Mara.
Lyndsey at Expert Africa is most obliging. There were a couple of "hiccups" along the way, and I must admit having travelled on many safaris, this was a first for me. Lyndsey kindly followed up on every query I had, and I will certainly book again with Expert Africa.
Expert Africa's level of service is excellent, I honestly cannot think of any suggestions that may improve the trips and services." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 16 on a Kenya safari
