"Everything went as well as it could on our trip and we had the best time - it wasn't even particularly rainy for November.
Expert Africa was super helpful in organising and it was great to not have to worry about any of the details.
Already thinking about the next potential visit!" Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Kenya safari

"Great way to see Africa"
I visited Kenya between 8 Nov 2024 and 20 Nov 2024
"This was really our first experience with what I would call luxury travel, and now we know how wonderful it is to have every detail planned, organized and executed perfectly.
The camps that we chose with great advice and suggestions suited us so well, and we loved that the 2 camps we visited were so different from each other. It was a treat to be met at the airport, then have all the other transfers line up with no stress for us at all.
We especially appreciated Jessica's great effort to save us extra expense when our son had to cancel his trip with us due to health issues.
We could not have been more pleased with the services of Expert Africa!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"My Nov Kenya 2024 trip"
I visited 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!" Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 6 on a Kenya safari

"Our 40th bday trip"
I visited Kenya between 24 Oct 2024 and 3 Nov 2024
"This was a spectacular trip.
We were impressed by everything from the moment we started communicating with Expert Africa, our travel planner Jessica was attentive to our likes/wants/needs and made sure our trip came together wonderfully even though it was a little bit last minute. There were wonderful unexpected details like mailing us a Kenya guide and luggage tags that added to the delight and anticipation.
The trip itself flowed seamlessly and we didn't have to think about any logistics, we could just enjoy the experience. The places we visited were gorgeous, and we were blown away by the service and facilities at our safari lodge and the beauty of Diani beach.
We were also pleasantly surprised at how good the food was throughout the trip, as this was not something we had high expectations of. We got to do exactly what we'd asked for: enjoy nature, eat well, stay in small hotels, spend almost all our time outside, see lots of animals, and rest by the beach at the end.
This was hands down the best trip we've been on (this is saying a lot because we're big travellers and have high standards) and we've been raving about it since we returned.
Thank you!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"My Oct 2024 trip"
I visited Kenya between 23 Oct 2024 and 31 Oct 2024
"We booked this trip to Laikipia with the aim of searching for the Black Leopard. We had previously experienced disappointment in India - a whole week in Nagarahole with only one very distant and unclear sighting and then an unfortunate non-sighting in Tadoba. So we were prepared for frustration, particularly when told on arrival that no black leopard had been seen for 3 days. So when we managed SEVEN sightings of Giza the enigmatic Black Leopard, 3 of which we were first to find, you can imagine our elation. All these sightings were wonderful. Giza was active, relaxed - or at least untroubled by our presence - and happy to give us many excellent photographic opportunities.
The whole trip was a great success in fact, with many other interesting wildlife encounters and several ‘firsts’. Everything went very well, including the light aircraft transfers." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"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." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"This is our fourth trip arranged by Expert Africa and we keep coming back because we know that we will always get an excellent holiday.
