"Our trip to Kenya 2016"

I visited Kenya between 13 Feb 2016 and 26 Feb 2016
"Our trip was a wonderful experience and the quality of the guiding and accommodation was outstanding.

Richard asked what we wanted and gave us choices based on his expert knowledge.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I can't think of anything! Expert Africa has now put three trips together for us and hopefully will do so again in the future." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

"Overall"

I visited Kenya and 1 other country between 30 Jan 2016 and 16 Feb 2016
"Great trip and lifetime memories, the team meeting and transferring us went very smoothly.

We were delayed 2 hours at Bird Island as a tropical storm had delayed the plane at Mahe, but they provided drinks and I preferred to wait at Bird Island than Mahe airport." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"My Jan 2016 trip"

I visited Kenya between 10 Jan 2016 and 25 Jan 2016
"We were extremely happy with the organization of our trip by Expert Africa and our TO, Ellie. She would be very prompt in answering any of our questions, and designed our safari as we had wanted. We were supplied all the information that we would require to prepare for our trip.

The camps that we stayed at were all first rate. The guiding was good at all of them and the transfers from the airports and between the camps went flawlessly.

Ellie was able to come close to our budget request by finding us camps with special rates that fit our comfort zone.

We would definitely recommend Expert Africa to anyone wanting to do a safari in Kenya." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"My Jan 2016 trip"

I visited Kenya between 9 Jan 2016 and 23 Jan 2016
"The whole trip was wonderful. All three camps were excellent, and the three different areas went very well together.

The order we visited the camps (Meru, Ol Pejeta, Olare Motorogi) worked well for flights but also worked very well in terms of wildlife viewing. We were very happy with the balance of time we spent in each area. Everything went very smoothly, guiding was of very high quality in all of the camps. All camps knew that we did not eat meat and we were very well catered for in each of them.

The advice we received from Richard and from Ellie was very good. Both were keen to listen to what we wanted from our trip and both were very knowledgable.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We are very happy with the service provided (which is why it is the second time we have used you!)" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"Safari/beach honeymoon"

I visited Kenya between 4 Oct 2015 and 19 Oct 2015
"We had the most epic trip, and Richard was so very helpful in helping us decide where to go and plan the trip. We had zero issues when out in Kenya, which is testament to how well the holiday was organised by ExpertAfrica.

Having not been on safari or to Africa before, we were very grateful to receive such thorough advice from Richard and the EA website/catalogue. We would recommend EA to others and will certainly be making use of it in the future! Thank you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"Our Oct 2015 safari to Tanzania/Kenya"

I visited Kenya and 1 other country between 2 Oct 2015 and 12 Oct 2015
"Our transfer from Olakari to Rekaro was very tedious with 2 flights and 2 35km road journeys quite apart from delay at Kenya immigration. The new EVisa was not fully understood by border control. The transfer from Wilson Airport to Jomo Kenyatta Airport was long and dusty but might have been even longer if routing through Nairobi itself. Kicheche camp location was a bit disappointing.

Our trip was amazing but even after planning nearly a year prior we were not able to experience our first choice camp in Naboisho especially as we only saw one vehicle with 2 people from Naboisho Assilia camp over 3 days when we were told that that camp was full."
