Awesome Safari Trip from planning to the very end
I had contacted many safari companies for our 10 days private Kenya Safari Trip and finally chose Explorers Wild Adventures based on their quick response, good price and very good reviews from the past customers. Johann answered all my questions honestly and gave clear instructions about money transfer from US. We upgraded to 4x4 and it was very comfortable even during long rides. We chose mid range hotels. They were mostly Sentrim chain hotels and were all pretty good. Our driver/guide David showed up on time to pick us up at our Nairobi AirBnB. He was punctual every day, clearly communicated every day program, had a great positive attitude and was eager to share his knowledge about animals and Kenya. We learnt so much about animal behavior, Kenyan politics and culture from him. Of the 2 optional tours that we did, Masai village tour was good but the lake Naivasha boat ride and nature walk was too expensive at $60 pp. We could have totally skipped it as we saw multiple hippos, giraffes, zebras in very close range with in our hotel (Lake Naivasha Country Club) that night.
Over all I highly recommend Explorers Wild Adventures. They are professional, work well together, did not mess up any reservations and really strive to earn and keep your business. You will be very pleased if you book with them.

The safari experience was absolutely unforgettable, with incredible wildlife sightings and experts.
Our safari experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Zachary. From the moment we met him, his passion for wildlife and deep knowledge of the ecosystem were evident. He took the time to explain the behavior of the animals, the different ecosystems, and the fascinating details that we would have otherwise missed. Zachary had an incredible ability to spot wildlife from miles away, making sure we had the best views of lions, elephants, giraffes, and countless other animals. One of the most unforgettable moments was when we witnessed a hunting leopard in action – a rare and breathtaking sight that we never imagined we’d be lucky enough to see. Zachary’s expert guidance allowed us to fully appreciate the incredible skill and strategy of the leopard in its natural habitat. He was not only informative but also patient and attentive, ensuring we had plenty of time to take in each moment and capture the perfect photos. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he made the whole experience feel personal and special. Thanks to Zachary, this safari was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that we’ll never forget!

Fantastic service and an unforgettable experience
My fiance and I had a great experience with the tour company. We read through hundreds of options, and given how expensive safaris can be and how variable our friends' experiences had been, we were worried the trip might not be worth the money. I can say that the trip absolutely was worth it! The 6-day tour was a great option, as we had time in four of Kenya's most important parks (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli). We did a private tour, which we highly recommend given that you will always want to stand up and move around the car as you follow the wildlife around, and then you can move at your own pace. If you only had time for one, Masai Mara is the one to do. We opted for the van, which was cheaper, and never had one issue (this may have been different if it were very rainy). We did all the add-on tours (apart from the far too expensive hot-air balloon), and all of them only made the experience more memorable (the boat tour was also a bit too pricey in our opinion, but it gives you access to the Lake Naivasha Nature Walk, which was beautiful and lets you get right up next to the animals with experienced naturalists who work there). The tour company was very communicative and helpful. Our guide/driver (Bernard) was absolutely fantastic, we cannot speak highly enough of him. He was positive, knowledgable, punctual and worked hard to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. Service, accommodations and food at the hotels we stayed at was exceptional, especially given that you are often in extremely remote parts of the country (remember to get your hands on small bills of Kenyan shillings! It wasn't too bad, but the hotel workers were a bit intense about trying to get tips, and we didn't have the cash for it at first).
It is hard to comprehend just how many animals there were just there right in front of us, living in their natural habitat. We saw dozens of species up close (elephants, giraffes, birds, lions, hippos, cheetahs, rhinos and more). Having an attentive, communicative guide/driver who is talking with the other drivers about where everything is in the park is important as these parks are huge. Given that it is nature, it's impossible to guarantee seeing everything, but at least in January of 2025, we saw just about all there was to see.

Beyond expectations adventure in wild and magical Africa!
Explorers Wild Adventures was very professional from handling of the booking to the actual days of the safari. They were very clear of what to expect but when we were there in the safari, it surpassed all our expectations. The major key of the success of any safari is really the driver/guide. We were fortunate to have Zachary as our driver/guide. He was very experienced and well connected with the other guides in all the parks (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboselli) we visited. On our first day of the seven day safari, we already saw the big 4 (elephants, lions, leopards and african bulls) out of the big 5 animals. We saw rhinoceros in Lake Nakuru. It was a good decision for us to book for luxury lodges. The facilities were impressive and the rooms had the necessary amenities and quite big for the 3 of us. All lodges had swimming pools and spas plus the food buffet were quite delicious and varied in choices. We just regretted not doing the hot air balloon experience at Amboselli. It would have been very magical with Mt. Kilimanjaro as the background. The Kenyans are very hospitable and kind people which made our experience a little more meaningful. We are so looking forward to our next safaris in other parts of Africa!

Perfect Safari Trip with Stunning Wildlife
Our safari experience was nothing short of amazing! From the start, our guide impressed us with his deep knowledge of the animals, their behaviors, and the local culture. His engaging storytelling and keen eye for spotting wildlife made every moment unforgettable.
The lodges we stayed in were not only beautiful but also ideally located to maximize our game drives during sunrise and sunset. Waking up to the sounds of nature and heading out to see elephants, lions, and even witnessing a cheetah on the hunt up close was a dream come true. Each drive was thrilling, and the breathtaking scenery made it even more magical.
The hospitality at the lodges was exceptional. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every detail of our stay was taken care of. From delicious meals to personalized service, they went above and beyond to make us feel at home. This trip exceeded all our expectations and will remain a cherished memory for years to come.

A Dream Safari Come True in Kenya!
Our Kenya safari with Explorers was beyond expectations! Our guide, Peter, was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we saw everything from lions to rhinos up close. The lodges were luxurious and offered breathtaking views of the savannah. Each day was a new adventure, and we felt completely safe and well taken care of. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay unforgettable. I can't recommend this experience enough!

A trip to remember
Pickup from hotel was smooth and on time, communication via WhatsApp. George the driver and guide with more than 20 years experience really made the trip memorable. He knew where to spot wildlife before other vehicles did. The first full day in the Mara, 4 of the Big 5 were spotted due to his expertise. Glad I booked the jeep, very roomy and the best option for the rugged terrain. All lodges visited were great, food was buffet style., accommodations comfortable. Amboseli could do with a little touchup. Thanks again George.

Best tour operator
We went on the "5-Day Masai Mara-Lake Nakuru-Lake Naivasha & Hells Gate" private tour option Jeep 4*4 with Explorers wild Adventures and we could only recommend it. Johann the operation manager has been helping us, planning and tailoring our trip providing us all information we needed. Johann also helped us with the online pre-payment which did not go through straight away as blocked but after calling our bank it worked well! Once we arrived we met KennetH, who has been an amazing guide, always in a great mood and answering every single question we had about the Kenyan culture and animals. Kenneth was also incredible to spot the Big 5! Already on the first game drive evening we saw many animals including 4 of the Big 5.
It was our first safari and could not have wished for more ! We definitely recommend Explorers Wild Adventures for a Safari in Kenya and would reserve again with them for the next one !
