"Great safari trip. Can’t fault it." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"Very satisfactory is overstating it a bit, but the main detractor was the weather and one can't legislate for that." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"Fabulous trip, would do it all again!

Excellent organisation from Expert Africa.

Thank you for all your help.we felt safe in all the camps as there are short wave radios in the rooms with guards on at night.

Warn people it can be very cold even though it’s on the equator! Woolly hat would have been good!

The standard of hygiene was very good in all the camps. Drinking water provided ." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

"Vary enjoyable given the circumstance, obviously some days very hard as Peter had organised this and he wasn't there to share it.

Only reservation, final camp would have been better if they told me what the routine re securing tents in the evening was - on first night escorted to camp by guard but it was pitch dark and on my one felt a little scared. However they did sort it out for the other nights making sure that the blinds were all down and the lights were left on.

Generally felt very safe despite being on my own." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

"Thank you for the trip of a lifetime, we will definitely be back.

I would do things differently next time, I think you only need 3 days at the most in each camp and I would have liked a third camp without the beach visit at the end.

Disappointed not to have seen the migration (happened earlier this year). No rhinos and very rare to see cheetah and leopard." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"Ellie was so wonderful and quick to respond to all of our requests and inquiries. She truly made this a trip of a lifetime!!" Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 5 on a Kenya safari

"My trip was brilliant!

Combining Kicheche Laikipia and Kicheche Mara provided variety and also continuity in their shared ethos of commitment to the animals, environment, local community and to their guests being cared for and to providing the best possible guiding experience. Both conservancies offer lovely landscape and a great variety and number of animals.

Expert Africa (Richard!) organized the trip so well and thoroughly that, travelling alone, I felt continually looked after." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"We are really happy that we booked with Expert Africa. Richard is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I think our first phone call must have been at least an hr long as we discussed every option.

We were really happy with the places he recommend and with the final trip schedule. He gave us good advice about not paying extra to have a freight seat on the planes. We were a little over the max bag weight but we were not asked to pay anything.

We were grateful that he let everywhere know about Sarah's leg injury in advance as it meant all the camps were prepared for us.

We had an amazing holiday and would love to travel with Expert Africa to Kenya again." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Kenya safari

"This was our first 'adventurous' trip with the children and it felt well organised, safe and most importantly, left us with incredible memories. Everything Richard organised; airport pick-ups, transfers etc all worked like clockwork. We were well looked after.

I cannot recommend Kicheche Mara and Pongwe Beach enough - we were so sad to leave! This has been our best family holiday to date - I'm not sure how we can top it!

Thank you.

Perhaps warn travellers about Nairobi airport!

We were inundated with mosquitos there (had packed repellent) and both my husband and daughter got food poisoning from the food court!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Trip was outstanding and one of best experiences we have had.

Trip was seamless and made easy by Expert Africa. Enjoyed staying at the lodges that were very personal and gave back to the local people. Experiences at each destination were wonderful.

Zambia has found its way into my heart! Everything was just perfect!
