My Jan 2025 trip
Kenya between 12 Jan 2025 and 6 Feb 2025
Richard was very helpful when we had queries & replied very promptly.
Everything went so smoothly with no hiccups.
What a thrill & experience to finally meet Nancie Wight & travel with her. Nancie was just an amazing & fun person, making everything a breeze! (and we picked up a few photography tips)
Thank you Expert Africa, Richard & Nancie!

Tamarind Tree Hotel
"Tamarind Tree Hotel review"
Food wise buffet breakfasts were excellent. Lunch & dinner menus were the same every day. Maybe a different menu for dinner would be good.
Staff were very friendly & on the whole excellent.
All facilities at the hotel were very good."

Kicheche Bush Camp
"Kicheche Bush Camp review"
A fun Maasai welcome. Camp manager Dido very welcoming & our guides Patrick & Charles were amazing.
We thoroughly enjoyed a back of camp tour showing how everything operates behind the scenes.
The Bush Gin Bar on the rocks for our Sundowner one evening was a fantastic experience with a beautiful sunset & great campfire, where we met up with another group."

The Emakoko
"The Emakoko review"
Staff & food was incredible"
Facilities are good, though quite a bit of maintenance on the property is required. Falling downpipes & bedside lamps in room had exposed/broken wiring. We had to report to maintenance as some lights not working.
Staff were very friendly & happy people."
