Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"I highly recommend working with Expert Africa to organize an African safari.

Richard was extremely knowledgable about Kenya, all the possible camps, and was there from start to finish with good advice.

This was the second trip my family has taken with Expert Africa. My wife and daughter went to Namibia in Feb. 2022, when Covid restrictions were easing, and had an excellent self-drive safari.

If we go back, we would happily consult with Expert Africa again (though I am disappointed that they don't offer safaris in northern South Africa, including the Kruger area, since we may well want to bring our grandchildren someday and perhaps would like to be able to mix a Kruger conservancy with Zambia's South Luangwa area, or try the malaria-free Marakele area)."

"This trip was clearly very well designed, to take us from the "beginner safari" of Nairobi National Park with the lights of the city in the distance to the intense life of the Kicheche camps with morning and afternoon drives. And ending with the comfort of Loldia house was perfect.

This was my first safari and I was surely spoiled by the people and the sights--I didn't really think I'd be seeing elephants walk past my bedroom window!

Not really -- this trip was a logistical feat and not one ball was dropped.

Thanks for a great trip." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"The experiences (in particular gorilla trekking met all expectations and hopes). All arrangements within the trip went very smoothly. The local guides were very good. The hotel service was excellent." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 4 on a Kenya safari

"I keep saying that my next safari will be my last safari…other places to see and do, etc. etc. But I’m no sooner done with safari than it is done with me. I was already planning the next one on the 5th day of this one! And I know I’ll reach out to Richard. It could not be a more seamless, positive experience than dropping Richard an email and knowing he’ll get all the details right. And he does.

When I was unsure about combining Lewa and Ol Pejeta (I thought them to be too “samey”) he put my mind at ease and now that I’ve experienced them myself, he was absolutely right. His guidance and feedback are completely on point. This itinerary was wonderful and delivered on everything I’d hoped to see and do. Rhinos, varied landscapes, stunning camps, a return to my beloved Mara — this had it all.

I’ll drop you an email in a few months, Richard! Safari 2025 beckons!

No suggestions at all. I consider myself lucky to have worked with you twice now. Looking forward to #3." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"I have travelled on safari to East and Southern Africa on many occasions now.

This trip was one of the best with everything running like clockwork." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"I had an incredible trip and would (and have) recommended Expert Africa and the locations I traveled to to others.

The animal sightings, which were the driving force behind my desire to travel to Kenya, were beyond my wildest dreams.

I felt escorted through each step on my itinerary, which was very important to me as I was traveling solo.

I greatly appreciated the support I received and plan to return to Africa in the not-so-distant future.

"A lovely holiday.

Lots of variety and we feel as if we have been away for a long time – always the sign of a good break, I think.

We wouldn’t change anything about the trip." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 20 on a Kenya safari

"I highly recommend Expert Africa: every aspect of the trip was organised to a tee and all the arrangement worked out.

Great advice on camps, locations, logistics, etc.

I usually plan all my own trips but after this experience would be happy to delegate to Expert Africa for future trips." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari
