A faultless experience!
Kenya between 16 Feb 2020 and 23 Feb 2020
"We have travelled to Africa several times. This is the first time that we have used Expert Africa.
Our experience was extremely positive. Everything was very well organised and effectively executed. The arrangements on the ground (e.g. Safarilink and Southern Cross) were flawless. This made for a relaxing and worry-free trip.
The Expert Africa website is the best that we have ever encountered.
We loved the new travel wallet!
We would definitely book with Expert Africa again. Thank you Claire!"

Little Governors' Camp
"Smiley, warm and welcoming!"

"This camp is a gem. The location is lovely, but it is the staff who make one's stay so special. Every one of them was cheery and very welcoming.
We really liked the individual dining arrangement, as opposed to communal tables. This system gave us freedom to dine when we wanted (within reason) and the opportunity to enjoy time alone during breakfast and lunch overlooking the scenic marsh. In the evenings we loved having a drink in the bar before moving to the candlelit area for dinner. The menu provided a nice choice and the food was excellent.
Our safari guide, Moses, was very experienced and he provided us with some outstanding Lion and Hyena encounters. However, the spotted cats proved elusive. We were able to get some super photos.
This is one of the best camps we have stayed at during our African travels. It combined very well with our other camp, Karen Blixen."

Karen Blixen Camp

"From the moment we arrived to the moment we departed we were made to feel very special. Lillian and her team were excellent hosts. A special mention to Solomon for his friendly and attentive waiter service.
The food was truly excellent. We appreciated the individual dining arrangement. This set up allowed us to enjoy leisurely meals in our own time. The inclusive drinks package was very welcome.
The pool area was particularly relaxing between game drives.
Our safari guide, Dominic, was extremely knowledgable. We learnt a lot from him about wildlife and Kenyan life in general. It is a pity that the cheetahs and leopards remained elusive. However, the lion sightings were very good. The landscape in the conservancy was breathtaking.
We would not hesitate to highly recommend this camp!"

The staff were very friendly and efficient.
The breakfast was excellent. There was a huge choice of items. A pity that we did not have time to sample the craft ales in the bar!
An ideal location for one's first night in Kenya."
