"My Jul 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 16 Jul 2024 and 28 Jul 2024
"Your planning was so detailed and thorough that we never had a feeling of being a “stranger in a strange land”. The books we received before we left had everything spelled out and served us well. Our flights to and from Nairobi had a few last minute changes but once we landed in Africa we felt the trip was completely under control. The drivers were there at each airport and the final day after arriving back at Wilson, we were picked up by 3 cars. They took us to a place for us to buy gifts for home and took us to Talisman which was a great place for our final meal.
I didn't have the opportunity to work directly with Chris McIntyre but couldn't be happier with the support we received EA and from our Lyndsey and Parita
Not sure how to rate the value for money above but we knew going into this once in a life time vacation that was not going to be cheap so therefore didn't do a lot of comparison pricing. We went with our friend's recommendation and worked closely with Lyndsey and Parita on the details. Our entire group agreed that this was a perfect vacation and couldn't have been better."

"My Jul 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 14 Jul 2024 and 31 Jul 2024
"Thank you so much Expert Africa!
I first went to Kenya in the seventies and have since done many, many trips to Africa, mostly holidays but also school sports tours. I can honestly say that, despite the rain, this has been the most enjoyable and rewarding of all!
Of course Steve Carey had a lot to do suggesting the itinerary but Kicheche was the perfect climax. All the arrangements worked seamlessly and you have helped make us very privileged. For Hannah it was a first trip to Africa and she has had the most incredible experience.
We will all be back......" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"Extraordinary trip…..perfect in every way"
I visited Kenya and 1 other country between 30 Jun 2024 and 19 Jul 2024
"We booked this trip about a year ahead of our actual travels. We did so as we were being very selective on the camps and the dates. So we had very high expectations.
Lyndsey Marris was both incredibly knowledgeable and patient as she guided us through the various options and alternatives. We were not disappointed. We stayed at 2 wonderful camps in Rwanda ((Magashi and Sabyinyo Lodge). Both were exceptional. Wonderful accommodations and food. Staff attentive but yet fun. We saw the Big 5 at Magashi and marveled at the golden monkeys and silverback gorillas at Volcanoes National Park.
Then we traveled to Sirikoi Camp (Lewa Conservancy) and Naboisho (Naboisho Conservancy) in Kenya. Both camps were terrific. I could not pick a favorite. And abundant wildlife….lions, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, and many,, many more…..H
ighly recommend working with Lyndsey and these particular camps.
We do a couple of international trips each year. This was one of the very best in every aspect.
This was our 2nd trip with Expert Africa. You do everything…..everything….very well. Happy to recommend EA to all of our friends." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"My Jun 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 29 Jun 2024 and 5 Jul 2024
"The four nights were good, but not the value for cost I would expect.
A few things I would change if I was to consider the same location again.
Glad I went in that it did confirm my overall great preference for the Conservancy model.
Always a pleasure planning a trip with Richard - he has a very high tolerance for my questions!" Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 4 on a Kenya safari

"My Jun 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 15 Jun 2024 and 5 Jul 2024
"I've recommended EA to a friend who said they were taking a safari trip, but they had already booked.
If we were to take another safari trip, we would def use Richard and his company.
When we made our initial deposit, my husbands payment went right through on his credit card. For some reason my wouldn't with my card. I called and spoke with a young lady located in New Zealand (which was fun since I've been to NZ and have family on both islands). She was quite helpful and got my payment to go through.
On emails, Richard always got back with me in a very timely manner." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari
