Fantastic agency and the driver!! - Fantastic agency and the driver. We have not had great experience with the agency we used in Uganda, so we were extra careful and cautious. However, all our concerns were quickly alleviated. Our driver and guide (Daniel) were very helpful, professional and well organized, making our holiday trouble-free. We booked it last minute and not had much time to google exactly what we want to see and how to do it. Thanks to Daniel experience and knowledge, it went even better than with our 'great plan' in Uganda. Explorer Kenya made our dream come true, thank you!!

Best guide and many wildlife animals! - Our visit to the safari is very funny, if not the best experience I have traveling around the world. Our trip would not be more fun without our guide, John Kariuki, who is extremely care for us as well as professional in searching wildlife’s with his eagle eyes! He even prepared me a foot stool and back pillow to make the trip even more comfortable!

Perfect travel in Kenya - English: This was a truly perfect journey. As it was our first time in Kenya, we had been worried about everything leading up to our arrival. However, once we got there, our guide James Kariithi was already waiting at the airport, ensuring that we found him as soon as we stepped out. Throughout each day of the trip, he was incredibly patient, taking us to see the animals we wanted and always finding the best photo spots. He also took us to places with beautiful scenery, resulting in stunning pictures. He was like a genie, granting all our wishes. He even remembered our dietary preferences and paid great attention to the details. The company itself was wonderful too. They helped us book the hotels we wanted and arrange other activities, everything was planned perfectly. Thanks to them, our trip to Kenya was nothing short of perfect.

Excellent - Thank you so much as inspite of the initial hiccups with baggage we had an amazing trip and stay throughout .our stay in Mara Maisha was beautiful experience in every way . We would like to thank our Drivers Henri and Sam for guiding us and being patient with our group. We also would like to thank you Ibrahim , Robert and the other drivers for making the first time to Kenya trip so memorable for our group.

Amazing experince with Francis (November) from Safari explorer - It was an amazing experience. Our Chauffeur Francis (November) was with us for 6 days.. and took good care of us and guided us very well during our trip. He was very punctual everyday..intact use to always arrive before time to pick us.. We would strongly recommend Francis (November) and Safari explorer.

Wonderful 2-week Explorer Kenya safari to see Amboseli elephants with Daniel the most perfect guide - After discovering the joy of observing elephants up close in Thula Thula, South Africa (do read The Elephant Whisperer) in early 2020, we were desperate to be back on safari after 2 years of lockdown. Kerry of the excellent Indigo Safaris booked us with Explorer Kenya for our dream 14-day safari of Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate, Amboseli and Tsavo East. Daniel met us at Nairobi airport in a Landcruiser and we were off on a memorable journey with a most personable, informative, joyous and experienced guide. Daniel was an excellent travel companion and a reassuring presence, whether negotiating the Nairobi-Mombassa highway or the convoluted sandy tracks to our camps. And all the while, he was able to spot animals only visible to us using binoculars! His knowledge is encyclopedic and his calm manner kind and considerate, fulfilling all our wishes and expectations. Kenyans especially and Africans generally are extremely friendly and this provides an atmosphere ensuring a pleasurable experience, on the road, in the camps and lodges, as well as in the safari vehicle itself with our superb guide. We choose to stay in smaller camps and where the guides are able to share our table and we cannot recommend more highly the excellent food and tented camps in the Masai Mara, Enkorok Mara Camp presided over by the exceptional Faith, and the Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp with stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, probably the best camp we have ever visited. Thank you Daniel for contributing massively to our overall enjoyment and thrilling safari experience. Being with a personal guide means that we could all decide together to stay or move on as we liked. Probably the most thrilling of all was the privilege of watching the first few hours of a newly born elephant wobbling on its feet and being introduced to or being guarded by the members of its extended family in the Masai Mara. We found them again on subsequent days and were relieved to see the baby flourishing and fully integrated. The Amboseli elephants were our priority and we saw hundreds but the local people and the animals are suffering from a devastating 2-year drought. There is sufficient food for the elephants in the National Park and water in the swamps fed by Mount Kilimanjaro but many of the grazers are weak and easy prey for the lions, hyenas and vultures. The red dust landscape of Tsavo East is also desperate for rain but we saw many large and small elephant families with recent young ones here, as well as in Amboseli. Moving between safari destinations often requires backtracking towards Nairobi on a good road but one welcome diversion was to Lake Naivasha, with a visit to Hell’s Gate for mountain biking and a hike into the Oljorwa gorge with the irrepressible Kennedy of Hell's Gate Community Tour Guides. Daniel drove on ahead to ensure the Cape buffalo were not on the road. African memories linger longer and we left with heavy hearts. We have only one fervent wish remaining - that the rains come soon.

5 days unforgettable experience - Booked very last minute trip. Their office response is super fast and they provide you with options depends on the days you are coming for. We booked 5 days, we were advised A-Z on how to do visa, covid requirements etc .. super informative and helpful ! The 3 different camps we stayed at are stunning, so the hotel choices are excellent. Our guide was Sami, what a lovely genius person! We could not get a better guy. Super friendly, knows all about kenya, the animals and answers all random questions you have. He is an EXCELLENT DRIVER, taking us through the rough terene of Masai and always gets us the best view of animals when spotted. 100% will be coming back for the great migration and will be booking Sami again. Thanks to Explorer and Sami for absolutely amazing experience.

Awesome safari - We had a great trip with our excellent guide and driver Martin Kamau. He is not only very knowledgable but also a really great guy! I recommend everyone to choose for the Land Cruiser because of the comfort and the 360 degrees view. The Maasai Mara is an excellent destination with stunning landscapes and lots of sightings of big cats and other animals. Lake Naivasha is great for watching birds, especially kingfishers and African fish eagles, and Amboseli is the spot for elephants and of course the Kilimanjaro. This trip combines all the highlights and I would recommend it highly. The accomodations in Amboseli (AA lodge) and Lake Naivasha (Camp Carnelly's) were awesome and exceeded our expectations, while Lenchada in the Maasai Mara is a bit more basic - but then again, you are in the Maasai Mara so who cares!

Kenya safari - Sammy was great, from start to finish.. his knowledge and attitude was a pleasure. The accomodation recommended and booked was lovely, and the safari was amazing, we saw so much. Sammy was very flexible and accomodating, his English was very good and he was always happy to help. I would definitely recommend Sammy and Explorer Kenya, especially in these times where Covid safety is important. Thank you!

What an experience - We had a fantastic safari, and I can not recommend this company highly enough. Sammy was the best guide; friendly, knowledgeable and punctual. He went above and beyond to make sure our safari was perfect. We will definitely be using this company in the future, and asking for Sammy again.
