"Deep feelings in captivating Laikipia"
I visited Kenya between 3 Apr 2015 and 6 Apr 2015
"The overall experience was very satisfactory and we could very easily go back there. The owners however need to change the driving directions and make them a little bit more precise especially from sb who comes from NBO.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
The service is excellent.
In the beginning I thought that since we live in NBO it would have been very difficult for me to organise our trip with Expert Africa. Eventually it was very easy and the engagement of Richard Trillo made it an incredible experience. He is definitely a person to trust. He loves Africa and he understands exactly what his client is looking for." Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Kenya safari

"Well planned to fit with the time that I had, and a bit of a treat to have the game drives all to myself given the lack of other guests.
Comfortable camps with good food and excellent wildlife viewing." Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 5 on a Kenya safari

"My magical September 2014 journey"
I visited Kenya between 2 Sep 2014 and 14 Sep 2014
"Had no expectations but if we had high ones they would have been exceeded. Truely a unique experience where nature is at the center of everything you do.
Thanks to Richard and Expert Africa for tailoring a perfect trip with all logistics and travel locations arranged in a highly professional and reliable manner. We only had to experience and enjoy." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"All that I Expected and More"
I visited Kenya between 2 Sep 2014 and 14 Sep 2014
"The trip as a whole was wonderful, thanks to the great planning of Richard Trillo and anyone else who made this trip so easy and yet exciting.
My only negative comment was the lack of internet access. We had WiFi at Macushla House, which was great. My husband was happy to hear that I had arrived safetly. When we got to Offbeat Meru, I was told the the internet was "down" temporarily. I assumed this could not be avoided, but was concerned because I had not expected this.
We had WIFI and Sosian so I was once again in touch with my family. But at Offbeat Mara I could not contact my husband. I just wish I had been told this ahead of time so I would know what to expect." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"My Aug 2014 trip"
I visited Kenya between 19 Aug 2014 and 1 Sep 2014
"We enjoyed our trip and will have many good memories. When three people travel together, it's difficult to represent all opinions in one rating form, but the important point of view is that we were glad we went and were largely satisfied with our itinerary.
Emakoko, where we spent our last day, was not on the feedback list. I'd like to add that it is lovely and I would have enjoyed an overnight there. When I was dealing with a family emergency and had no cell signal, Anton was very generous and helpful, and the staff was excellent. Also, this was the best food we had on our trip."

"My Aug 2014 trip"
I visited Kenya between 1 Aug 2014 and 10 Aug 2014
"A really brilliant and well organised trip, the combination of El Karama and Encounter Mara was a really nice combination and worked well. Transfers were painless and I really couldn't ask for more.
Thanks again for organising.

"Another excellent safari by Expert Africa"
I visited Kenya between 8 Jul 2014 and 20 Jul 2014
"Yet again this was another truly excellent safari to Africa. We hadn't been to Kenya for some time and were slighly concerned about the numbers of vehicles we would see during our game drives having been spoilt in Zambia and Botswana by the almost total isolation experienced in their reserves. While you do see a number of vehicles around an animal sighting it's not too intrusive with the exception of the wildebeest crossing when it's a bit like Picadilly Circus.
Expert Africa's assistance and expertise ensured that the camps we picked were exactly what we had hoped for, small and intimate with great food, game viewing and accommodation. Many thanks to Ellie Dunkels for once again putting together a memorable trip. All the internal connections and pickups worked as planned and this confidence in the EA team is why we come back each time to EA when planning our trips.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Expert Africa to anyone considering a trip to the southern continent of Africa.
