Great safari in kenya the best
When we arrived, the driver was there.
He was very welcoming and was very knowledgeable about cultures across Kenya.
The trip was very well organized and everything has been effortlessly taken care of.
We were lucky and were able to see the big 4!
If you want to have a good time in Kenya, I would highly recommend this company..
And yes, so ask for the driver Jonathan, he’s been doing this job with passion for over 17 years!

A fantastic experience!
Had an incredible time at Masai Mara with Johnathan as a tour guide and driver. He has expert knowledge of the park and its inhabitants, and graciously attends to every detail. He is also considerate and agreeable. The accommodations at Ashnil Mara camp are luxurious, located in an idyllic setting, and well staffed to the point of excess. Highly recommended! As an aside, if you pick up souvenirs along the way, bring your haggling skills and a keen awareness of value.

6 Day 5 Night Safari (2 Masai Mara, 2 Amboseli, 1 Lake Naivasha)
We got different quotes for safaris before we booked with kenia explorer. The price was fair and we read a lot of good reviews. Our guide was Jonathan. He answered all the questions that we had and he adapted to our interests. He also knows a lot about photography and so he always positioned the car in the right place to take the best pictures. The safari itself was very good. We saw incredible scenes of lions in masai mara and took great pictures in amboseli of elephants infront of the Kilimandscharo. We were very happy with our choice and jonathan as our guide.

We had a wonderful time, all went perfect well. Our driver Jonathan pick us up from airport and straight to game in Amboseli. Fast and safe driving. We had our little daughter (2y old) in a clean baby seat.
Our car, a land cruiser could open totally during games.

3 Days to Amboseli National Park
We were delighted to be hosted for a second time with Explorer Kenya Safaris, We communicated with Robert and he Provided us with one of the best driver guide Jonathan.
Our Safari was a memorable one ,we were picked from our house and proceeded to Amboseli National Park arriving in just before Lunch .we relaxed and did a 4 pm game drive for three and a half hours, during our evening game drive we were lucky to see Elephants grazing in swamps ,lots of Flamingos and many more different species of local and migratory birds. Amboseli is just a Paradise of Bird watchers.
Our second day was amazing too, started an early morning game drive at 6: 15 am, until around 8:40 am when we went back for Breakfast and had a wonderful time relaxing at our luxurious Totilis Camp. That evening at 4 pm we embarked for a game drive and our Guide Jonathan took us a very nice evening sundowner spot at the observation Hill to have a spectacular view of Mount Kilimanjaro and watched amazingly the sun setting toward the West. Our Evening was awesome too with lots of Elephants, hippos, and different kinds of Gazelles. we went back to our Luxurious Camp for overnight.
Last Day at Amboseli; We woke up as usual on this day at 6 am went out this time hoping to see the cats, surprisingly we were able to find lions relaxing few meters beside the road, these crowned our Safari experience. Our gratitude's goes to Robert of Explorer Kenya and our very knowledgeable Guide Jonathan, answering our questions and for his knowledge and history of this great park and history about wildlife and behaviors. Asante Sana Explorer Kenya Management.

A memorable experience!
We have just completed our 4 day safari through the National Parks of Kenya. Every minute was enjoyable right through to the end. Our guide/driver Jonathon was very informative and made our experience a memorable one. The accommodation that the company organised was exceptional. One of the hotels was closed due to the pandemic so they organised an upgrade for us that was fantastic. All the staff we met were very friendly and could not do enough to make us feel relaxed and comfortable. We would 100% recommend Explorer Kenya for your safari needs. They certainly exceeded our expectations. Thank you again to Robert for organising our trip and Jonathon for helping us with our photographs and providing us with excellent binoculars to spot the animals.

Nairobi National Park safari
The customer service was the best, Jonathan is the best tour guide around. Our trip to the national park was amazing, Jonathan knows the best places within the park and is quite friendly. The vehicle was spacious and social distancing measures were enforced. I would heavily recommend Explorer Kenya Safaris Ltd.

Absolutely fantastic
This is the second time we have used Explorer Kenya and on both trips we have not been disappointed. Rather than taking one of their package tours we opted to arrange our own accommodation and itinerary, and simply asked for the services of a guide/driver and an all terrain vehicle for a week.
Robert, who runs/?owns the business is highly reliable, flexible and a good communicator so it was extremely easy to arrange our trips by email and have them confirmed prior to entering the country.
Both trips included three or four nights in the Maasai Mara staying at Julia’s River Camp, which is a great mid-budget camp, on the banks of the Talek River within the park itself. There is nothing too much trouble for the staff there to ensure your comfort, and I would thoroughly recommend a visit there.
Our driver on safari has always been Dan Kim. Not only is he an excellent driver; calm, unflappable and very conscious of his clients comfort over some of worlds biggest potholes and the most challenging traffic jams around Nairobi, but he is also a fantastic guide / bodyguard / translator and ultimately friend. My daughters were so impressed with his encyclopaedic knowledge of Kenya’s flora, fauna, people’s and their cultures that they desperately tried to find questions he was unable to answer - they failed! Dan has a very pleasant and unassuming personality and was always prompt, courteous, smiling and a great travelling companion. If you need a guide I would unreservedly recommend him.
With thanks to Dan we saw all the animals and birds we could have dreamed of, and learnt so much more about their habits, lives (and deaths!)
Kenya is a land of contrasts - geographically, climatically, culturally and economically. It’s was therefore more than just interesting to travel to a steamy Kisumu on Lake Victoria, up-to the fresh cool Highlands of the Mau and down to the lakes of the Rift Valley. It was really an unforgettable trip.
A quick word about COVID:
1. Need a negative PCR COVID test 96 hrs prior to entry. 2 Fill in Travellers Health Surveillance online form and obtain QR code
VERY impressive precautionary measures everywhere in Kenya - temperature, mask and hand washing before entering any building.
