My Jan 2024 trip
Kenya between 28 Jan 2024 and 11 Feb 2024
"The trip was seamless and was a memory of a lifetime. I can definitely see myself going on another safari in the future! Parita was always easy to get a hold of, and she dealt with my millions of questions and itinerary changes gracefully! I would definitely use expert Africa again in the future!"

"Good location for airports, food was OK. Staff were friendly but felt pressured to leave tips all the time, even for a coke at the poolside."

Nairobi Excursions: Giraffe Centre, Elephant Orphangae and Nairobi National Park
"Nairobi Excursions: Giraffe Centre, Elephant Orphangae and Nairobi National Park review"
30 Jan 2024 • All-day excursion
The excursion was great, our guide got the timings just right so we had enough time to do everything. It would have been good to have more options for lunch, or have been asked what we would like rather than being taken to a restaurant that was a bit on the expensive side for us.
Kicheche Laikipia
"Kicheche Laikipia review"

31 Jan 2024
"Kicheche laikipia was an amazing first camp for us to visit. Everything was perfect. The tents were beautiful and the well looked after with a wonderful view of the watering hole, where we saw many animals. The staff were fantastic and attentive and remembered lots of details that made our stay so comfortable. The food was some of the best food I have ever had, Chef Lenny is a genius. Anita runs a tight ship, making sure we got the best or our stay. We managed to fit in a trip to the white Rhino sanctuary and the anti poaching dogs in amongst our safaris. Our guide Alfred was unbelievable, excellent driving and so informative. We were often the first to a sighting due to his skills ."

Kicheche Valley
"Kicheche Valley review"

Arrived

"Kicheche valley was in a lovely location. The camp is beautiful and looks over the valley. We could see animals from our tent and heard lions roaring in the night. Our guide, Mica, was unbelievably informed and passionate about the animals we saw, we learned so much. Minnie and the staff went above and beyond on my birthday, with a birthday cake and traditional Masai dancing to celebrate."
