"The whole trip was simply wonderful .The experience we had on safari and our beach stay at Diani was extremely good value .

Richards knowledge of where to stay and what we could expect was entirely accurate but it exceeded what we were expecting .

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Expert Africa to anyone going to Kenya." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"The trip was truly wonderful and I hope to return to Kenya one day.

I have traveled extensively in Africa, but this was my first trip to Kenya. It is a totally different experience and I attribute the success to our wonderful guides at each camp.

The animal life is astonishing as is the bird life.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

One suggestion: provide more detail about applying for the e-visa...advise people that they need to log onto the site after several days to get the visa.

This is not very clear on the Kenyan site." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"Second time with Expert Africa and the recommendations and organisation were flawless!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"This was a well thought out combination of experiences in a country I like and have visited many times over the decades. Sarara and Kicheche Mara were very different in style and location, each with their own pluses, and the Emakoko an excellent surprise at the end. Richard seems to intuitively know what I will like, which is a pretty impressive skill." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"Kicheche camps, managers, chefs and guides are fantastic. The whole setup is excellent and I will be back. Outstanding safari experience with wonderful wildlife.

Inevitably you meet other like-minded enthusiasts who are convivial and also enjoy the safari experience.

Expert Africa make the booking process easy and efficient and the arrangements always work seamlessly. I speak to travellers who use other consultants but I always recommend Expert Africa and I would not dream of asking anyone else to arrange my trips.

"Our trip was amazing. We went to 4 of the 5 countries of East Africa. Saw the gorillas in Uganda, swam with Whale Sharks in Tanzania, climbed Kilimanjaro, kissed giraffes at Giraffe Manor, and had the best safari experience at Laikipia and Masai Mara!"

"Fantastic!

In fact it was so good we abandoned the idea of travelling to Europe next and as soon as we arrived home we booked to return to Kenya again in 4 months time." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"This was our first trip with Expert Africa and to Africa.

We probably did not know exactly what to expect. We would do some things differently if we were to return to Kenya. The game drives were amazing and all the guides were terrific.

Also, visiting a village while at Saruni Sambur , a school and the Maa Trust while at Nabisco was terrific. Horse back riding and climbing up to Pride Rock at Borana were unique and fun experiences.

Our last day in Nairobi, with a wonderful guide, was great. We had a lovely lunch and visited the Giraffe Center and the David Sheldrick Elephant Refuge. Meeting our Emoli, the elephant we adopted was truly a highlight." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari
