Reviews of safaris to Samburu National Reserve

"Good trip" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"Expert Africa has been our benchmark of knowledge and excellence while planning our African trips for many years - thanks to Chris Macintyre reputation and the quality of information online.

This was our first experience of actually booking a safari with EA and we were happy with the responsiveness, helpful attitude and logistics, but expected a more personalised and expert/first hand experience of the person we talked with.

We hoped for a special, guide-like quality of advice and received a typical safari agent service - good, but not any better than other." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"This is our fourth trip arranged by Expert Africa and we keep coming back because we know that we will always get an excellent holiday.

We feel whoever is arranging our holiday, Lyndsey on this occasion, really listens to what we would like, gives us very helpful suggestions based on personal experience and is happy to give adjusting things until it's perfect!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"Extremely well organized. Everything ran smoothly. Great locations and overall amazing camps. Only small criticism would be that food is all “western” orientated and camps often had a colonial feel which can jar somewhat.
Having said that, this was the trip of a lifetime. Thoroughly recommend." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Kenya safari

"Superb holiday overall.

Had some wildlife sightings we’d not experienced before but a little disappointed not to see more cheetah as this had been the focus for this trip.

However we appreciate that nothing is guaranteed and the other sightings made up for that." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"Overall, we enjoyed the trip but unlike our previous visit in 2019 we were disappointed by the amount of people and volume of vehicles on game drives.

The exception was Mara expedition camp." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"Living in the U.S. and using a company in London and communicating via email, is a leap of faith that everything will go smoothly and as planned. Expert Africa and Lyndsey have never let me down and every safari they have put together has been an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much! This was my first safari in Kenya and it was incredible. Outstanding guiding throughout. And the camps were all in conservancies, so there were no crowds. The wildlife was abundant and we got really close to elephants and lions. It was absolutely thrilling. Hats off to Lyndsey at Expert Africa who put together this fantastic itinerary.

Lyndsey has put together several safaris over the years. There is nothing to improve upon! My only concern is that Lyndsey might leave Expert Africa!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"Our first visit to Kenya and we were not disappointed at all.

We couldn't fault any aspects of our trip, the service, or our overall experience.

Not having spotted a leopard, we have every incentive to come back!

No. Having used other agents in Africa, we rated Expert Africa the best we have used." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"Not as good as most previous years due to lack of access to the Triangle and to the Mara.

Mostly due to weather conditions but also due to lack of investment in terms of accessing the conservancy." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari
