Absolutely professional and exceeded expectations
We had an amazing experience doing our first safari in Africa with Explorer Kenya. We did Maasai Mara- Lake Nakuru-Lake Naivasha-Amboseli-Tsavo West.
Every aspect of the safari- from planning the itinerary to the actual safari was so perfectly managed.
Our first point of contact was Purity who helped us put together the itinerary. She was very prompt in all her responses and helped us plan the perfect safari such that we could visit 5 national parks in 9 days! All the camps/lodges that Explorer put us up at were wonderful. Special mention to Matira Bush Camp - a boutique bush camp in Maasai Mara.
Our guide for the safari, Dan is a treasure trove of knowledge! He had answers to every single question we had about animals, birds, trees and just Kenya in general. Dan is so passionate about wildlife and he was as excited as us each time we spotted an animal or bird. He could spot animals and birds from such a great distance while driving and answering our questions all at the same time. We were able to see even 'rare to spot' animals like the Oribi and Serval cat - all thanks to Dan. He made sure we could get really close to the animals (and get great photos!) while complying with park rules. He was always cheerful and I'm not sure how he had all that energy inspite of all the long hours of driving each day! On that note, he is also an excellent driver- very safe and skilled in maneuvering through bumpy roads.
Dan was instrumental in making our safari a wonderful and unforgettable experience.
In short, if you are looking to do a safari in Kenya just do it with Explorer- you will not regret it. It is great value for money. Highly recommend!

Wonderful people with quality and efficient service.
We had an incredible 5 day drive with Samuel, our 'nature man' guide. His knowledge and personality made our time so special. The accommodation, meals and activities provided were all amazing and everyone we met made our stays easy and comfortable. Explorer Kenya went above and beyond! Cannot wait to return again.

Great experience with the best guide: Jonathan!
Great experience with Jonathan during a week in July 2022. I was with my parents, my sister and my girlfriend and we spent some magic times with the best guide, for sure. He always tried and succeeded to show us the best animals and the best views in Amboseli Park, Nakuru Lake, Naivasha Lake and Masai Mara!
I recommend Jonathan! He has always been perfect with us with a great knowledge of the different animals and of all the roads of the parks by heart!
Thank you !

A great organisation, with a great guide in a beautiful country!
We had a great holiday with Explorer Kenia Tours. Our guide Dan showed us the most beautiful places and he learned us so much about the wild animals and about his country, Kenia. We did great safari’s and beautiful climbs in the mountains. Dan was always on time, waiting for us with his jeep, ready to take us all places!

Amazing 3 day Mara safari
I cannot recommend Explorer Kenya more highly. The drivers, Jonathan and Joseph, were excellent. They made sure we saw four of the big five, while showing respect for the animals. We were lucky enough to see lion cubs, a hyena kill, cheetah, a leopard and an aborted river crossing by migrating Wildebeeste, They could answer our questions, from type of bird to animal behaviour. The camp, Ashnil, is set on a bend in the Mara River with hippos in the water below and bushbuck wandering by the restaurant. The service is attentive, the food good, the tents spacious and comfortable. Plus, there is a pool where you can shake out the game drive cramps and the kids can play. It was all we wanted for our family safari - and more. Above all, as Jonathan said, the Mara is a paradise. It was a privilege to be here.
Just great!
The service offered by Explorer Kenia was delightfull. Comunication with Ibrahim was easy and clear, and he even helped us with some problems with the local flight, even though the reservation was made by ourselves.
Once here, eveything was better than expected.
SimonPeter picked us up at the airport and during the way to Masai Mara explained múltiple things about the history and customs of the country.
Once in the park we coudn't ask for more. SimonPeter has a smooth drive in these bumpy roads and an amazing hability to move around the park. He did his best so we could not only see every animal but also especial moments and find the best place for the perfect picture, and lots of patience until se managed to get them.
All of this with followed by a very enriching explanation of every animal, plant and geographical point we met. Thank you so much, you made us really happy!
The camp is in a beautiful location, just next to the Talek Door. Food is delicious even when they prepare packed lunch for the safari. The staff is always helpful and making sure you get the most of the full experience.
For sure, we are taking back home, life lasting memories, just as you promised before the adventure started.

Jonathan is a nice and experienced tour guide with impressive driving skill. We spotted lots of wildlife, too bad just no luck for the crossing.
Generally we had a wonderful safari trip.
