My Jul 2023 trip

Kenya between 2 Jul 2023 and 19 Jul 2023

Trip rating: Excellent
"I booked this trip 14 months in advance so it was long anticipated and it DID NOT disappoint! the entire trip and the organization thru Expert Africa and NJ Wight was fabulous, they didnt miss a thing. all the camp tents, staff, food, quality of the guides/vehicles was second to none. I can say one negative thing about the trip, sharing a tent with a stranger is a challenge, but not anything Expert Africa or NJ Wight could have done differently. the advertising and websites for the camps were true to their descriptions. the wildlife our guides at all the camps found every day, and knew so much about all the wildlife was life changing. I plan to make a return trip, hopefully in 2025 with NJ Wight, if all goes as planned. I will 100% recommend Expert Africa, NJ and Kicheche camps to anyone I can. EXCELLENT TRIP, and well worth the cost. thank you for providing me such an amazing trip"

"Tamarind Tree Hotel review"

3 nights Arrived 6 Jul 2023
"Room was clean, staff was fantastic at the front desk, bar staff and restaurant staff friendly and helpful. A bit confusing about the "service charge" already added to the bill then a line item for "tip" i thought service charge was a tip, when asking a staff member they said dont add tip as they will never see it? was a bit disheartening.
Food in restaurant was good to good plus. mostly had buffet"

Safari in Nairobi National Park

Safari in Nairobi National Park

"Safari in Nairobi National Park review"

7 Jul 2023 • Morning excursion

Fantastic. weather was drizzly and cool the first few hours there, but made for a different look, and good pics without the sunny glare. park appeared to be in good shape, staff at the gate was efficient and friendly to my guide. definately recommend others to take a drive and see the park.

is a very good cause, was great to see these young elephants being rehabilitated to join a herd out in their natural habitat. the baby Rhino was icing on the cake!

Kicheche Mara

Kicheche Mara

"Kicheche Mara review"

3 nights Arrived 9 Jul 2023
"I cant say enough about how excellent the experience with Kicheche Mara was. SUPERB staff, food, service, tent accommodations were excellent. Only suggestion is to make the "drapes" to the bathroom area a bit less see through, when sharing a tent with a stranger in a group situation there is no privacy at all. separating the beds to be a bit further apart would also have been nicer. Maybe a ceiling fan if possible for better air circulation too."

Kicheche Bush Camp

Kicheche Bush Camp

"Kicheche Bush Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 12 Jul 2023
"Excellent experience, I liked the large table for all guests to join/eat at so it engaged people not just in our small group.
food was superb, the staff, service, guides/drivers excellent too. Tent was set up nicely with the screen front room. no shower curtain on the shower was a negative, again a bit more privacy for sharing tents with strangers would be welcome.
Guides/drivers were always happy, extremely knowledgeable and smiling at 6am to start their day."
