"My Feb 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 26 Feb 2024 and 4 Mar 2024
"Our entire trip was spectacular! Everything was arranged perfectly and everything went smoothly without any problems. We would absolutely recommend Expert Africa to our friends and family and we will definitely use them again in the future!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No suggestions. Everything was perfect! Just a side note that your website with its very in-depth and honest reviews of lodges, locations and animals is superb! I am very detail oriented and I love that I can look up any lodge and your website will answer any questions I have." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"My Feb 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 15 Feb 2024 and 29 Feb 2024
"Overall this was a disappointing trip, partly made up for by the excellent last camp.

I did not enjoy the two middle camps, and apart from the last camp the volume of plains and other game was sparse. We have been to many countries in the area through your company, and others. We have also been to Mara and other Kenya areas many years ago.

This was not our best trip with you." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"My Feb 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 12 Feb 2024 and 24 Feb 2024
"Our first visit to Kenya and we were not disappointed at all.

We couldn't fault any aspects of our trip, the service, or our overall experience.

Not having spotted a leopard, we have every incentive to come back!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No. Having used other agents in Africa, we rated Expert Africa the best we have used." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"My Feb 2024 trip to Kenya "

I visited Kenya between 6 Feb 2024 and 20 Feb 2024
"It was a great mix of different parks and conservancies.

We had plenty of time at each camp to see the best of the local wildlife.

The final stop at Emakoko was worth every penny." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"My Feb 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 5 Feb 2024 and 20 Feb 2024
"Our trip was run like a well-oiled machine. From start to finish you didn't have to worry about one aspect of your itinerary.

To make this point clearer, on arrival at the airport to depart Nairobi it looked like total chaos and we could only park some distance from the terminal. I thought how are we going to know where to go and carry our bags. The driver opened our door and there was the guide with a trolley for our luggage. He guided us to the priority check in and ensured a smooth process. This illustrates our experience throughout." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 15 on a Kenya safari

"My Jan 2024 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 2 other countries between 29 Jan 2024 and 13 Feb 2024
"Another great trip, thank you very much. I am mostly clear about what sort of trip I am after but find it very useful to be able to bounce ideas and get further information and guidance from Expert Africa.

I greatly appreciate the end to end service that Expert Africa provides, which takes away any little worries concerning travel arrangements.

The 'meet and greet' service and the use of a hotel room between flight connections is a particularly welcome feature." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"My Jan 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 28 Jan 2024 and 11 Feb 2024
"The trip was seamless and was a memory of a lifetime. I can definitely see myself going on another safari in the future! Parita was always easy to get a hold of, and she dealt with my millions of questions and itinerary changes gracefully! I would definitely use expert Africa again in the future!"

"My Jan 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 25 Jan 2024 and 5 Feb 2024
"It had taken us a very long time to go on Safari, but this holiday was a true life experience. We hoped we would enjoy the holiday but it significantly exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was excellent, the Safari drives were superb, you do have to have a little luck with what you see, but our Guides were so knowledgeable and the fact that we went to smaller camps meant the area was less crowded and only rarely did we see any other cars. The food well exceeded expectations.
Having no idea what the practicalities would be, we asked Jessica loads of questions and she was very patient and helpful.

As we collected our thoughts on the return journey home, we both agreed that this was one of our best holiday experiences, we could not have asked for more!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari
