"My Feb 2023 trip"
I visited Kenya between 8 Feb 2023 and 19 Feb 2023
"This trip was meant to be once in a lifetime, however it moved our children and us so much, we are all counting down the days until we can go back.
I did spend a lot of time doing the research and chose the accommodation and plan myself, but ExpertAfrica really pulled it together with the best competitive quote and made sure things were seamless whilst we were out there." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"My Jan 2023 trip to Kenya"
I visited Kenya between 20 Jan 2023 and 30 Jan 2023
"Excellent.
As always we very much appreciate the support of Richard Trillo at all stages of the planning.
He is able to provide expert knowledge and advice and this sometimes appears to be well outside normal office hours." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"Return to Kenya after 36 years"
I visited Kenya between 20 Jan 2023 and 4 Feb 2023
"On the whole it was an excellent and well organised trip to some vastly different parks. Amazing numbers of lions seen (70).
With hindsight we would have flown from Sand River to Elephant Pepper.
All the staff at the lodges were extremely welcoming and helpful." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"My Jan 2023 trip"
I visited Kenya between 17 Jan 2023 and 27 Jan 2023
"We originally made a booking for November 2022 and the full amounts payable had been remitted.
As a result of my wife having to undergo a shoulder operation soon after the booking we had to postpone the trip. Richard from EA was very helpful in arranging for changing the dates to January 2023 without any penalties from the camps where the bookings had been originally made."

We felt so lucky to be able to experience this and the hospitality shown by all the staff was next level, they really made you feel special" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"Kenya Safari October 2022"
I visited Kenya between 21 Sep 2022 and 1 Oct 2022
"We had high expectations for our trip and in every way they were surpassed.
We originally booked our trip for autumn 2020 for our 10th wedding anniversary and due to Covid it was postponed two years but it was totally worth the wait.
Expert Africa (Lyndsey) managed us for two years in the most professional, friendly and patient manner. We told Lyndsey what we wanted and she delivered completely in all aspects and we will be forever grateful to her.
This was intended to be a life changing experience. it was, and we will return for more safari in the future." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"Classic safari in the Masai Mara"
I visited Kenya between 14 Sep 2022 and 23 Sep 2022
"Overall an excellent trip that met - and sometimes exceeded - all our expectations even though they were quite high in the first place!
Although we had used Expert Africa a few times this was our first trip out of southern Africa. As ever, the organisation was flawless and Jessica's advice when planning was accurate and very helpful.
We particularly appreciate the way Expert Africa encourage (and make it easy) to contact them by phone to discuss what you are looking for in (patient) detail with someone who has personal experience of the are and lodges - yes their website is really excellent and the perfect starting point but nothing beats talking to someone who's been there and who can engage with your own individual preferences and expectations."
