My Nov Kenya 2024 trip
Kenya between 2 Nov 2024 and 9 Nov 2024
"Faultless.
A huge, huge thank you to Jessica! She was professional, helpful, patient and insightful from the early stages of our trip planning. She was always quick to reply to emails and was happy to make adjustments if needed. It was lovely receiving our pack in the post.
Every step of our trip was smooth and we never had to wait around or feel anxious about where we were going or who was picking us up. We always felt safe and relaxed.
Everyone person who met us was friendly and punctual. The places we stayed were all excellent and the safari camp in particular has given us unforgettable memories we will treasure.
Thank you Jessica and Expert Africa. We would definitely recommend you and use you in the future- we're already thinking about our next trip!"

Hemingways Ol Seki Mara

3 nights
Arrived
4 Nov 2024
"Just incredible! We thought nothing would beat our stay at Giraffe Manor, but Hemingways was amazing. The staff were so kind and friendly, they genuinely cared how your day was going, Debbie and her team took such good care of us. The scenery was beautiful and the surrounding areas were magical.
Our guide, Patrick was so knowledgeable and brilliant at making sure we saw everything we wanted to see- the bird life in particular was excellent!
The food was top notch, the camp was beautiful and the room was comfortable and cosy. We could hear lions and hyena at night but It felt very safe in the room, whilst connecting you with nature.
Overall, an outstanding place for our honeymoon!"

Nairobi Elephant Orphanage visit
"Nairobi Elephant Orphanage visit review"
8 Nov 2024 • Morning excursion
A very special place. Well run and they put the elephant welfare first. The staff were friendly and great at answering questions. A childhood dream ticked off the bucket list.
It felt amazing to support them and the elephants/ rhino in their care.

Safari in Nairobi National Park
"Safari in Nairobi National Park review"
8 Nov 2024 • All-day excursion
We saw a group of 5 white rhino and had lots of amazing animal sightings. The roads were very bumpy, but that added to the fun of exploring.
It was raining for most of our visit, but that meant we had closer animal encounters, as they weren't hiding in the shade. Our guides were knowledgeable and the bird life was fantastic.
