"3 weeks in July: city, beach, rural, safari."

I visited Kenya between 11 Jul 2022 and 2 Aug 2022
"A wonderful experience from start to finish. Richard's advice was excellent; he got to know what we would like and found accommodation and travel that suited our needs, soon gaining my confidence. At no point was I frustrated by the process, despite all that covid threw our way and the delay of a year that it caused." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 17 on a Kenya safari

"My Jul 2022 trip"

I visited Kenya between 8 Jul 2022 and 20 Jul 2022
"By far the best trip I've ever been on, I couldn't have asked for more, and I'm already thinking about when I can go back! We saw so much above and beyond my expectations - river crossings, a full lion pride killing a buffalo, just to name a few - and the level of interaction and social behaviour we were able to observe within the animals was incredible. The potential downsides of the trip (early mornings, etc.) were so worth it to me, although I wouldn't recommend it to everyone I know, I thought it was perfect."

"My Mar 2022 trip"

I visited Kenya between 18 Mar 2022 and 28 Mar 2022
"We discussed our trip with Richard almost three years ago, and we finally made it after 2 years of rolling- 'thanks' to Covid. Richard was extremely knowledgable and helpful, during the planning and very supportive when we had to keep postponing. The lodges were as he had described (only better). He really understood what we wanted from our trip and we thoroughly enjoyed all his recommendations. Thank you Richard!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"My Mar 2022 trip"

I visited Kenya between 4 Mar 2022 and 16 Mar 2022
"Wow! It took lots of planning, two years of delay, zigging and zagging in a pandemic with various federal and provincial lockdowns, coordinating four people but we finally made it, and it was fantastic! Remarkably, flights were on time and the logistics went smoothly though we did have a flat tire on the way to the airport on the last day, but fortunately, the flight was late (that was nerve wracking). The people in Kenya could not have been nicer or more accommodating.

Kudos to Olivia who was responsible for the planning of the trip originally. Our goals were to experience Kenya and a bit of its culture, see lots of animals, and be active. Goals accomplished and expectations exceeded!! And thanks to Richard for his cat herding skills and organizing, then re-organizing, then tweaking yet again as Canadian travel restrictions shifted during Covid times.

With respect to Covid, since the camps are outside and contact with people is minimized, it was a safe experience. I probably saw fewer people in Kenya in two weeks that I would at the grocery store on the weekend.

"My Feb 2022 trip"

I visited Kenya between 27 Feb 2022 and 11 Mar 2022
"We have enjoyed many safaris, several with Expert Africa but also with upmarket competitors.

We were delighted with the way that Richard Trillo listened to what we wanted and then shaped a trip to meet these criteria.

We would strongly recommend booking with Richard for anyone going to Kenya." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"My Feb 2022 trip"

I visited Kenya between 15 Feb 2022 and 26 Feb 2022
"Thank you for your assistance in creating this trip for me on short notice. I so enjoyed the camps and the areas that I visited since they were definitely different from my previous trips. I really appreciate you listening to my requests and arranging camps that met my criteria - most certainly the conservation part and assisting the surrounding the communities. Thank you Lyndsey.
I am sorry about the hiccup at the end of my trip. I was nervous about getting the test results back in time to get to the airport. As usual, the airport was a challenge - I stood in the line with KLM signage, and when I get to the checkin counter, they say I need to go to another counter, where the signs say, they are closed....
I walked up anyway and asked to be assisted, and luckily the gate person did so.....
Thank you again, and I expect to return in May - just giving you a heads up..... :)" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"Just thrilled to be back in Africa & on safari again after 2 years of Covid.

Very pleased with the advice we got about our trip (including when one of our original accommodation choices shut and we had to make a change), also got helpful & practical information about the various Covid rules & restrictions." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari
