2024 Kenya and Tanzania Safai
Our trip as a whole met our expectations and went way beyond. We have done nothing but rave about it since we returned home. We have told everyone we have talked to about the trip what a great experience it was and how great it was to work with Richard. Given the opportunity to plan another trip like this, we would certainly be comfortable working with Richard and would highly recommend him and Expert Africa to friends.

Rating for tour operator:Our trip wouldn’t have been nearly as enjoyable without Richard’s efforts and collaboration. He truly made everything come together seamlessly.
Many thanks for your very kind words Brian – we're delighted you had such a successful trip. After your meticulously detailed research and planning, it was a long, ambitious itinerary across Kenya and Tanzania, and we are so pleased that it all worked so well for you. If you do catch the safari bug again, we would be very glad to organise another Africa trip for you! Richard @ Expert Africa
Kenya in September 2024
Arrived in Nairobi. Greeted and guided every step of the way on arrival at the airport to the camps to our eventual departure at the end. Two nights at Tamarind Tree Hotel. Very comfortable, nice pool and well equipped gym. Private tour at Sheldricks well worth seeing baby orphan elephants being fed and bathed. Top notch stays at luxury camps. Especially liked Kicheche Bush Camp. Excellent guides. Lots of opportunities to see all kinds of wildlife ...

Rating for tour operator:Expert Africa was excellent to deal with. Responsive. Very clear communication. Great information on preparing and getting ready for the trip including making sure we considered vaccinations and medications that might be needed. Attentive during the trip when some of our group had medical issues. Very responsive and caring.
Many thanks for your very kind words Rae. I was delighted you had such a great trip - and particularly happy to read in your detailed feedback to us at Expert Africa that you got up very close and personal with Craig, one of the big tuskers in Amboseli. What a moment! Many thanks again for taking the trouble to report back on your trip and review our services in such detail. Don’t hesitate to contact me again the next time you feel the safari mood coming on! Richard @ Expert Africa
Kenya 2024 Lewa conservancy, Amboselli Mara North
the brilliant trip organized by Expert Africa Claire Scott started in Lewa Conservancy at Kifaru house. One of the highlights was a tour of the ranger centre and a visit to the dog tracking service. Amboselli offered lovely views of Mount Kilamonjaro. Mara North at Elephant Pepper House was full of wild life and few humans.

Horseback riding and bush camp safari in Kenya
I spent four days in Laikipia horseback riding and animal viewing, and then four days in the Mara at a bush camp viewing animals via Land Cruiser.

Rating for tour operator:Expert Africa was my tour operator. They were excellent in guiding me through pre-trip preparations and making sure I was escorted through the various transitions. Because of global unrest involving my home country, I was nervous before my trip and they arranged a phone call to help me through my concerns. Excellent customer service!
Kenya safari and beach holiday
Amazing hospitality and wildlife viewing at the 2 lodges selected for us and then a very relaxing stay at Diani Beach.

Unforgettable journey to the magic of Kenya
My daughter and I journeyed to Kenya to Kicheche Lakipia and Mara and within a 10 day window experienced so many amazing opportunities to see the animals, flora, fauna, birds and people of Kenya. From early in the morning until late in the evening our days were filled with joy, adventure and a new appreciation for the culture of both man and animal in Kenya.

Rating for tour operator:Richard took the time to get to know my daughter and I very well then put together literally the perfect itinerary based on the timeframe and number of days we had to spend in the country. Couldn't have asked for more. Made our journey seem effortless despite flying 20 hours across the globe to get to this amazing adventure.
Fabulous
2 safari lodges in different areas of Kenya and some days by the sea. Fabulous wildlife viewing and luxury.

The perfect Safari
We could not have had a better trip thanks to the efforts of Expert Africa, Little Governors Camp Kenya, and our fantastic guide Tom. We saw every animal we could have wished to see and the six days and nights at Little Governors was simply superb in every way

Rating for tour operator:Wow what an amazing, unforgettable experience! We have never been anywhere in Africa before so it was very reassuring to have the expertise of Richard ensuring that everything was so organised as well as offering us great advice and answering all our questions. Everything about this holiday was perfect and Expert Africa deserve a lot of credit for that, selecting and recommending amazing accommodation. The website is also one of the best I have ever used- clean and clear layout, easy to navigate, whilst still being very informative with detailed reviews and information. I would without a doubt recommend Expert Africa to anyone thinking about booking a holiday to Africa.
Fantastic safari holiday in Kenya
We stayed for three nights each at two Kicheche tented camps - in Laikipia (Ole Pejeta Conservancy) and the Valley Camp (Naboisa Conservancy) in that Masai Mara. We had sightings of the big 5 and many more fantastic animals and birds, with our expert guides Peter and Bernard, respectively. Both camps were well-appointed, the accommodation was very comfortable and the food was excellent. Prior to the safaris, we stayed at Hemmingways, Nairobi ...

Both camps were well-appointed, the accommodation was very comfortable and the food was excellent. Prior to the safaris, we stayed at Hemmingways, Nairobi - a first class hotel - and afterwards at Sands at Charle Island on the Indian Ocean which was a good place to unwind.
Rating for tour operator:Very attentive travel consultant and faultless organisation throughout. Highly recommended.
We are delighted that you had such a fantastic time in Kenya! It was a pleasure tailor making this trip for you, and thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review.
