Kenya: reviews from our travellers

"Yet another fantastic safari, organised with the usual unsurpassed expertise by Expert Africa. The Kicheche camps are amazing and provide an unforgettable experience with extraordinary concentrations of grazers and predators whilst the little known Kulalu Camp nestling on the banks of the wild Galana River in the hot dry bush country of the coastal belt provides an exciting contrast with different fauna, flora and a wild edge. All the camps I re-visited are just as I remembered them from previous visits with the added bonus of genuine renewed friendships and the usual warm welcomes.

I am always happy to recommend Expert Africa to fellow travellers, and although I generally deal with Richard Trillo I can say that everyone I speak to at Expert Africa is just as friendly and helpful.

A great company with great people! I look forward to planning my next trip!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"Brilliant.

The trip had been postponed once because of Covid so I'd waited a long time and was in danger of being disappointed but, really, it was much better than I'd hoped or even imagined.

"We had a fantastic trip covering three East Africa countries, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania. We stayed at two camps in each country along with extra days at each end of the trip in Kigali and Dar. Each country is different and has their own culture.

Rwanda was the cleanest country we have ever been to. Even way out from towns people are sweeping the roadsides and trimming vegetation. The Gorillas and Golden Monkeys were great to visit.

Kenya and Tanzania were the greenest countries, recent rains. The quantities of wildlife are incredible. The guides in both countries were excellent and transportation between camps was easy and convenient.

Everywhere we went we felt very welcome.

"The trip went very well and Lyndsey's recommendation of Kicheche was a good one.

I especially appreciated her extra effort in altering arrangements to include my friend in the itinerary. Any glitches were small ones." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"Logistics for travel in Africa can always present their challenges, but when coupled with rapidly changing conditions and regulations in the wake of a pandemic, using a seasoned travel professional to help you piece all the parts of your trip together has never been more critical.

Richard Trillo was extremely responsive to all of our concerns (not to mention more than one panic attack following another sleepless night over whether we’d even be able to take this trip). With the experience and steady guiding hand of Expert Africa, our trip to Kenya, at a time when concerns about COVID continued into a third year, proceeded close to seamlessly. And once in the bush, there were even times when we felt almost a return to a sense of normality.

Thank you for helping us with a vacation that we needed even more desperately than I had imagined.

"We've travelled many times with Expert Africa, for very good reason.

Individual members of the team have in-depth knowledge of their countries, and are prepared to take the time to find out exactly where you would like to go and the sort of places that will appeal. This trip was no exception - thank you, Lyndsey!

Despite the pandemic, we were also met with a warm welcome wherever we went in Kenya, making for a relaxing holiday that made all the pre-travel bureaucracy disappear into the background.

"A magical trip returning to a place we visited in 2018. It's a place where it's as much about the community as it is about the wildlife." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"Absolutely brilliant trip - Jessica went to enormous trouble to cater to our interests - the itinerary worked with clockwork precision and all the places we stayed exceeded our expectations - really the perfect holiday.

Thank you!

Nope! This is our third journey with Expert Africa and I wouldn't use any other agent for a return trip." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"This was our first trip back to Kenya since the start of the COVID lockdown. It was wonderful to return. The Kenyans are taking COVID restrictions more seriously than in the UK and it all felt extremely safe.

If you've never been to Kenya before, you must go. You will not be disappointed. We have travelled to Kenya many times and have always had great experiences. We book our next trip there as soon as we get back.
