My Sep 2023 trip
Kenya between 5 Sep 2023 and 14 Sep 2023
"Our trip was excellent. The advice we received from the outset was clear and accurate.
The two camps where we stayed were exactly as described and exactly in accordance with our stated aspirations for the trip. They also combined well with each other i.e. the "vibe" was similar at both but they were sufficiently different to give the trip some variety and contrast.
Expertafrica clearly enjoys a good reputation in Kenya which appeared to derive from the fact that representatives of the company have visited camps to gain first-hand knowledge of their particular qualities and also the fact that their clients arrive with appropriately managed expectations."

"Rekero has a wonderful location - definitely a bush camp, secluded and quiet (particularly when compared with other areas of the National Reserve), with good accommodation, food and service and above all, excellent guiding."

"Kicheche Bush is a beautiful place which is stylish, comfortable and providing high levels of service alongside superb access to wildlife which is supplemented by skilful and knowledgeable guiding.
It feels intimate and friendly but the attention to detail and the determination to ascertain and meet each client's needs and preferences is very impressive."

The breakfast the next day was excellent and the setting of the restaurant was impressive, particularly bearing in mind the proximity to the perimeter of the airport. We would therefore recommend this choice of hotel for travellers such as ourselves.
As a cross-reference the Ole Sereni where we stopped for dinner on our way home was described to us locally as definitely more upmarket than Four Points. On what we saw, we would not agree."
