Kenya: reviews from our travellers

"It was fabulous. Safari was a highlight that exceeded our expectations.

Lyndsey was patient, knowledgeable and always responded promptly and effectively to our questions and requests. Thank you" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"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

"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

"Wow! A massive thank you to Jessica and the rest of the team at Expert Africa. We used Expert Africa to plan our honeymoon. From start to finish, Jess was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The service was excellent and the accommodation Jessica sourced for us was perfect! Thank you!"

"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

"This trip exceeded all of my expectations, which were high.

I loved every minute of it, and particularly appreciated Nancie Wight’s expertise and guidance.

I will definitely use Expert Africa again if I have the opportunity." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"An amazing trip - I loved every minute. We drove from Loldia House to Governors Camp which I wouldn't recommend as took 6.5 hours and was very bumpy." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"Overall the trip was great and very organized. Maruska was great to deal with, really listened to us and gave good suggestions. I liked the itinerary she sent us shortly before we left that gave lots of details about exactly what was happening. There were a few glitches during the trip (canceled flight, driver showed up late) and we had to reach out to Expert Africa on an emergency basis and they were very responsive.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I would not return to the lodges that we stayed in in Zimbabwe, we didn't have a great experience there. There was a mix up with Khulu Bush Camp and our departure time was moved back and we were never told, that ended up being a very long day and we would have preferred to fly. Two of our travel days were very long and we never got to eat lunch, it was not clear from the itinerary how long they would be. Our Mack Air flights ended up having multiple stops that we weren't aware of, it would have been nice to have more information about those flights."

"This was our third trip with Expert Africa and as usual everything went perfectly as planned.....another great trip.

Jessica also helped us with parts of the trip that we had planned on our own and she helped make my dream come true with regards to photographing supertusker Craig.

"Wonderful trip to Nairobi and the Serengeti. See individual camp reviews.

Only overall snag was Kenya Airways cancelling a leg of our return flight from Kilimanjaro-Nairobi which Expert Africa quickly stepped in to help with (involved re-routing the bush flights to enable us to fly Zanzibar-Nairobi instead).

Was very grateful for this support, quickly provided." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
