Kenya: reviews from our travellers

"This was a carefully planned holiday to Kenya where we have visited many times before.
Our 3 favourite places are Samburu, Masai Mara and Diani Beach.

We had already decided on Little Governors Camp as this is a family favourite. Richard helped us choose Saruni and Kinondo Kwetu.

The entire trip was a fantastic success. The lodges/hotel complimented each other perfectly.

They were all different but the overall trip included 2 different, both fabulous, safari locations and a wonderfully relaxing beach location.

I can't fault it, its a trip we all loved and will remember for a long time.

"The 3 safari destinations (Laikipia + Maara) were great, all of them. The fact that we were first timers probably helped, but we were gobsmacked day after day seeing these beautiful places accompanied by excellent, smart, friendly, local guides.

The bit on the coast a bit less exciting as we were not quite ready to confront the beach boys so we ended up staying inside the hotel most of the time: good thing the hotel was very nice!

"Overall - fantastic trip. We loved Kenya in general, and the particular places we went.

Logistically everything went absolutely smoothly - couldn't have asked for better." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"We had an excellent trip to the Masaai Mara and the Matthews Range/Samburu. The two locations we chose were very diverse but were both beautiful and interesting in their own ways.

Everything on the trip was smoothly arranged, with a minor exception.

Would highly recommend Expert Africa. They have organised multiple trips for us in the past, which have always been exceptional." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"The trip we organised with expert Africa was unforgettable - hugely well planned and happened seamlessly leaving us free to soak up the incredible experiences. But the planning of the trip was also enjoyable! I loved talking to Richard and felt he was a very real person responding to our needs as a family rather than pushing us in the old well trodden directions.

When there was a very minor hiccup with a hotel booking (not the fault of Expert Africa but a mistake Africa side) Richard called our guide and spoke to us to ensure everything was OK. Top service.

I can't recommend him highly enough." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"The trip was fantastic, and the logistics all worked absolutely faultlessly. As a family safari trip, I would recommend this itinerary to anyone." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"A big thank you to Richard and all the Expert Africa team for a near perfect holiday. My aim was to introduce my son and grandson to the wonders of Africa and I delighted that this has been handsomely achieved." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Kenya safari

"Overall a really great trip. Porini Camp was not great , but maybe I have been a little spoilt in recent years having stayed at some amazing spots, Elephant Bedroom being one of the best.

As I mentioned I really loved the Samburu area, and would love to go back next year." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"An excellent trip, when I asked my grandson [age 10] what was the best part of the trip, without hesitation, he said "James the guide". I would not hesitate to recommend him." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"Can't thank Richard enough for his advice and the way he set the trip up. We were really pleased with all aspects of the holiday. I can quite understand why Richard is so keen on the Conservancies and the Kicheche camps.

I can't actually think of any way in which the trip could have gone off more smoothly.

We were very impressed with Southern Cross and the Eka hotel and the transfers went like a dream. All the managers and staff at both camps were superb. Nothing was too much trouble. As for the game, and particularly cat sightings. Wow! 2500 plus photos after initial editing says it all.

In conclusion, the highest praise I can give is that if we decide to do a similar trip we'll be contacting Richard and Expert Africa to organise it with every confidence!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari
