My Oct 2023 trip

Kenya between 20 Oct 2023 and 1 Nov 2023

Trip rating: Excellent
"Many thanks to Expert Africa, and our wonderful advisor, Jessica Plumb, for working with us to plan our amazing adventure. We could not be happier with the camps she suggested and the itinerary.

Each location offered something special - something different - but with the same high-quality surroundings and excellent service. It was truly seamless and a trip of a lifetime.

If we are ever lucky enough to get back to Africa, I would only turn to Expert Africa to plan our trip.

I can't imagine how this trip could have been better!

Thank you so much Jessica and Expert Africa!!"

Tawi Lodge

Tawi Lodge

"Tawi Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 22 Oct 2023
"Tawi Lodge was just beautiful, the grounds pristine and the staff wonderful.

The cottage was lovely with all the needed amenities for comfort and convenience. The food was wonderful and the dining area beautiful with wildlife visiting the water hole within view. Many exotic birds were seen in array of colors.

Just an all-around beautify place and wonderful experience.

Our game driver/guide, Henry, was just amazing. He was masterful at finding the best wildlife sightings both in Amboseli National Park and within the Conservancy. He provided amazing experiences with every turn, and we saw more wildlife that we could have ever imagined.

Besides the wildlife, we had a clear view of Mt. Kilimanjaro, which was a dream come true.

Starting our trip in Amboseli was a perfect!

We were sad to say goodbye to Tawi Lodge - but left very energized and would recommend Tawi Lodge without hesitation."

Lewa Safari Camp

Lewa Safari Camp

"Lewa Safari Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 24 Oct 2023
"Lewa Safari Camp was a delight.

The tented rooms were lovely and fresh. The food was very good, served with great attention to service. The dining area and main building were open and airy. The entire staff was wonderful and attentive.

An overall wonderful experience.

Thanks to our wonderful game driver/guide, Rafael, we saw some very special wildlife that differed from our first camp including Rhinos, Grevy Zebra, Velvet Monkey and Reticulated Giraffe, and an array of other fun sightings.

We felt very satisfied with our wonderful experience at Lewa Safari Camp and would definitely recommend it."

Offbeat Ndoto

Offbeat Ndoto

"Offbeat Ndoto review"

4 nights Arrived 27 Oct 2023
"Offbeat Ndoto was a wonderful camp - open and airy.

The staff was amazing, offering very friendly and professional service. The food was delicious, whether served outside on premise, in the lovely dining area or in the bush. The tented rooms were roomy and pleasant. We even slept with the outer flaps open to enjoy the lovely breeze and sound of the wildlife that would visit at night.

Since the camp is unfenced, we had fun visitors in plain sight including Zebra and Hippos. The camp is ably run by the manager, Bob, who was always available to share information.

Our game driver/tracker, Peter, was incredible and provided a lifetime of memories. Using his expertise and knowledge, he was able to show us some very special wildlife sightings including cheetahs and their cubs, lions reuniting with the younger lions at dusk, a beautiful leopard (which I understand was pretty rare), a cheetah and her cubs, baby hyena peeking out of their den, and so much more.

We would return to this camp without hesitation and highly recommend to any traveler thinking about going to Mara."
