"My Jan 2023 trip"

I visited Kenya between 17 Jan 2023 and 27 Jan 2023
"We originally made a booking for November 2022 and the full amounts payable had been remitted.

As a result of my wife having to undergo a shoulder operation soon after the booking we had to postpone the trip. Richard from EA was very helpful in arranging for changing the dates to January 2023 without any penalties from the camps where the bookings had been originally made."

"My Sep 2022 trip to Meru, Samburu and Massai Mara"

I visited Kenya between 14 Sep 2022 and 25 Sep 2022
"Originally trip was booked for 2020. We were pleased the trip was rolled over fairly painlessly to 2021 and then 2022.

Jessica has been there over the past three years to provide us with a high level of service.

This is our seventh safari (fourth with Expert Africa) and probably our best although they are all difficult to compare.

The local agent to meet us on arriving at Nairobi airport, Isaac? and transfers to and from Nairobi Wilson were very good" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"The holiday exceeded our expectations."

I visited Kenya between 13 Aug 2022 and 26 Aug 2022
"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

"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

I visited Kenya between 15 Jun 2022 and 26 Jun 2022
"Excellent and very enjoyable.

When BA cancelled my return flight, the process of re-scheduling this with Expert Africa did not go very well in certain respects, although was ultimately sorted out to my satisfaction.

Richard Trillo has been exceptionally helpful." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"My Jun 2022 trip"

I visited Kenya between 3 Jun 2022 and 18 Jun 2022
"Our trip was super - the only niggles were in the UK before we left. Flights with BA cancelled and various bits of paperwork to sort. We had problems completing the online 'Travellers Health Surveillance Form'. It would not submit on our desktop but we eventually got it to work on our phones. However nobody ever asked to see it when we arrived in Kenya!

All niggles were quickly forgotten about once we arrived in Kenya and we didn't encounter any further problems/issues. All of the arrangements went perfectly and it was just so nice to get away and enjoy a marvellous holiday.

So, many thanks to Richard Trillo and the team at Expert Africa and all the people in Kenya "on the ground" (or even in the air!)" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari
