Tailor-made Kenya Safari Traveller Reviews

We stayed in the Kicheche Bush Camp and Kicheche Mara. Both are excellent Bush Camps in the Masai Mara. Our stay at both camps, overnight accommodation in Nairobi, internal transfers and flights were arranged by Expert Africa. Everything worked like clockwork.

Hugely knowledgeable and real experts on Africa.

Expert Africa helped us to organise the trip of a lifetime for our honeymoon. Laikipia and the Maasai Mara National Parks in Kenya were sublime; and Zanzibar provided the R&R we needed after 8 days on safari. We absolutely loved it!

Excellent, professional, bespoke and friendly service from people who genuinely know and love Africa.

A weeks safari to Kenya, very well organised, very good choice of camps

Expert Africa listened to what type of safari I wanted, and came up with an excellent choice of camps. Would use them again

We have just returned from a two week, four centre, holiday which was arranged for us by Richard Trillo of Expert Africa. The holiday was outstanding in every respect. We had met with Richard to discuss what we wanted and he tailored the holiday to perfectly fit our desires.We were most impressed with teh camps he chose for us and the attention to detail, right down to having our own personal driver for our last day in Nairobi, recommendation of restaurant for lunch, etc. Every details had been thought through and worked seamlessly. If we go on safari again we would always come to Expert Africa.

Our tour operator's knowledge of Kenya is comprehensive and with the choice of so many camps we could have chosen to stay in, he guided absolutely to the right choices but left the final selection to us.

After listening to what I wanted Expert Africa put together all the separate elements (hotels, bush-camps, transfers, flights, etc) of my trip into a seamless wonderful experience. I stayed in 4 different places with varying degrees of luxury but the main purpose of my trip - wildlife viewing on safari - was exactly what I had hoped for. Knowledgeable guides helping me understand animal behaviours.

I've travelled with Expert Africa a few times before so they know my preferences and where I've been before. They still took the time to discuss with me what I wanted from my recent trip and then gave me a number of options that I could look at on their extensive website. This made it easy for me to choose. Once the bare bones were in place, the agents local knowledge was invaluable. He was able to make a number of very helpful suggestions such as places to eat close to the airport on the evening of my return home.

All the arrangements made by Expert Africa worked well, our accommodation was first class, food excellent and the guides for our wildlife experience were outstanding.

Expert Africa staff are just that - experts! The Rough Guide to Kenya was written by our expert, Richard Trillo. We have travelled with this company twice before and would not hesitate to return.

Our trip was to 3 different camps in Kenya. (Offbeat Meru in Meru, Kicheche Laikipia in Ol Pejeta and Kicheche Bush in Olare Motorogi. We were very happy with each of the camps, food was excellent (as non-meat eaters we were very well catered for), guiding and wildlife viewing was excellent. All arrangements worked very smoohly. We had a wonderful trip.

The tour operator was very careful to listen to our requirementsand was very keen to find out what we wanted from the trip. They were very knowledgeable, having visited the camps themselves. Advice was very good. It is the second time we have used Expert Africa, and we will use them again.

We were extremely pleased with the prompt response, efficiently organized tour and great properties that were booked for us by Expert Africa. All facets of our trip were well coordinated, with the transfers between camps and airports waiting for us with a name placard and a friendly person. This has been our sixth safari and one of the best we have experienced. We would go with Expert Africa again and recommend them to our friends. We had not been to Kenya since 2001, but would definitely return.

Eleanor was very prompt with answering our questions and designed our safari just the way we had suggested to her. All the information that we needed for our trip was provided.

A fantastic place to relax, regroup and reflect upon two weeks of had graft safari'ing. We were desperately in need of peace and quiet and looking after following 15 days of intense travelling and early morning starts and trekking up volcanoes and the like.

Expert Africa NEVER disappoint - they are knowledgable, experienced individuals who can be relied upon to deliver a professional, insightful and highly considered set of options for the client to decide on what type of experience they want at a price which fits their budget

With ten days to spend on holiday in Kenya during the rainy season at short notice, we turned to Expert Africa to roganise something. They gave us a few recommendations of things we didn't know about or hadn't done before on previous visits to Kenya. The Emakoko was a real fibnd, a loverly safari lodge, with a real safari vibe in Nairobi national park. Food was good, ambience was lovely and this is a fantastic place to spend time near the main airport. From there, we felw to Laikipia to stay at Laikipia Wilderness. The camp is lovely but perhaps visually not the most lovely in the area. However, the exprience was world class if you want to be immersed into the wilderness experience. Guiding was great, the wildife was varied and the chance to view wild dogs really up close was wonderful. Honestly, if you want a relaxed experience, good guiding and to forget about the real world, this place is it. From there we went on to Saruni Samburu, a complete contrast. Seeing this place at the start fo the rainy season was interesting, like being in a BBC wildlife documentary, as colours changed and the wildlife woke up. The lodge itself is truly spectacular: the photos on their website do not lie.

Richard Trillo at Expert Africa write the Rough guide to Kenya, so is truly an expert. He was spot on in his recommendations, efficient and helpful. Pricing was exactly what we expected for the lodges we had chosen. We have used Expert Africa before for Zambia and elsewhere and have always been impressed.
