"Kenya 2023"

I visited Kenya between 11 Sep 2023 and 21 Sep 2023
"Overall we enjoyed our trip with friendly and helpful Kenyan staff, good food, top class and interesting wildlife and beautiful scenery.

The only fly in the ointment was the weather which Expert Africa cannot control - the feeling in the camps was that El Nino and climate change is now becoming a factor and people may need to adjust their thinking about timing their trips going forward?

We would recommend both camps we visited both for experienced safari travellers and first timers as there is something there for everybody." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"My Aug 2023 trip"

I visited Kenya between 9 Aug 2023 and 23 Aug 2023
"Wow what an amazing, unforgettable experience!

We have never been anywhere in Africa before so it was very reassuring to have the expertise of Richard ensuring that everything was so organised as well as offering us great advice and answering all our questions.

Everything about this holiday was perfect and Expert Africa deserve a lot of credit for that, selecting and recommending amazing accommodation. The website is also one of the best I have ever used- clean and clear layout, easy to navigate, whilst still being very informative with detailed reviews and information.

I would without a doubt recommend Expert Africa to anyone thinking about booking a holiday to Africa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"My Aug 2023 trip"

I visited Kenya between 6 Aug 2023 and 21 Aug 2023
"I loved dealing with Jessica and Chris.

They helped tremendously in planning the trip and Jessica was great at reorganising when our flight to Nairobi was canceled.

Chris and Jessica were also very responsive when we asked if there were any alternatives to Ngare Serian.

Overall, we thought the service from Expert Africa was terrific!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"My July Kenya 2023 trip"

I visited Kenya between 11 Jul 2023 and 21 Jul 2023
"A super trip which met our expectations in terms of acommodation, food, guiding and wildlife. also provided a couple of once in a lifetime photo opprtunities!

Generally happy with local services at airports, hotels etc with a couple of issues, one 4 1/2 hour delay at Mara North airstrip due to puncture on aircraft (although Elephant Pepper guide Francis stayed with us and tried to get info via the camp and Moses the Manager sent out drinks and packed lunches for us, fantastic!) and a 2 1/2 hour delay at Wilson airport waiting for driver due to miscommunication/failure to check timings of arrival compared to what was on the itinerary" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

Richard Trillo is a very good communicator, knew what I wanted and made sure it happened, at least where he could.
