My Oct 2024 trip

Kenya between 22 Oct 2024 and 30 Oct 2024

Trip rating: Excellent
"Expert Africa has been our benchmark of knowledge and excellence while planning our African trips for many years - thanks to Chris Macintyre reputation and the quality of information online.

This was our first experience of actually booking a safari with EA and we were happy with the responsiveness, helpful attitude and logistics, but expected a more personalised and expert/first hand experience of the person we talked with.

We hoped for a special, guide-like quality of advice and received a typical safari agent service - good, but not any better than other."

Feedback response

We are pleased to hear that they rated their safari experience as excellent overall. However, we regret that they were occasionally disappointed by a lack of detailed information provided. These travelers contacted us in September to arrange travel for October, which posed challenges due to budget constraints and limited availability in popular safari areas. Little Governor's Camp was specifically requested by the travelers, while the others were recommended by us based on their high standards and excellent wildlife experiences. However we are sorry that these travellers felt disappointed by some camps and for any negative impact this may have had on their overall experience.

"Elephant Bedroom review"

3 nights Arrived 22 Oct 2024
"A truly beautiful camp in an amazing location on the riverbank. Elephants walking in the camp, so sometimes you have to leave your table at lunch in order not to disturb their relaxed afternoon stroll.

A resident impala can also "disturb" you at breakfast, competing for the best pancake from the chef. The team at the camp are most charming, friendly and obliging people. It's one of the most beautifully located camps we've stayed at during our 20+ years of African trips, BUT... it feels a bit unkept/neglected: common area with worn-out sofas, no books or coffee table books about nature or Samburu or whatever...

No bush breakfasts nor sundowners (typical at other good camps in Kenya and a great experience, here not a standard - to be arranged and payed on request), no campfire in the evening. It's such a beautiful place, but it does not allow you to have this wonderful African camp experience...

If only this camp uses its full potential, it will be a true gem."

"Encounter Mara review"

2 nights Arrived 25 Oct 2024
"This camp does not have a picturesque location BUT it has all the other advantages of a great African wildlife camps: game drives with excellent wildlife and an amazing guide, fantastic bush breakfasts and sundowners, campfire in the evening, fantastic food (the best chef in this part of Africa!), super friendly and competent team who create this special and authentic vibe we loved.

We were surprised how great wildlife at Naboisho Conservancy was (lions, lions, lions!) - and they restrict access, so much less cars than in Maasai Mara!"
