Here very very appreciate for what he have done already .Because we love watching birds, Martin took us to Lake Navaisha to witness fish eagles catching fish from lake. That is perfect experience for us in our mind. Absolutely,We think we have already done right thing to book the 6 days safari tour. We promise you can enjoy everything from the whole tour with Martin if you love wild animals and especially watching birds.So until now, we still feel like very happiness and lucky when we return perfect memories in our mind. You can have a chance to keep very close with lions, elephants, so exciting! That is just at Africa, only at Kenya, Masai Mara reserved, everything is great! Absolutely We here recommend for you to book the 6 days safari tour with Martin, with explore Kenya tour&travel company. They definitely deserve all.
Here we sincerely appreciate for our excellent guide, Mr Martin Kamau; our pleasure for staying with you for 6 days, we learned more knowledge about wildlife from you, thanks again! We also appreciate for Purity Kiruki here, kept close touch with us and make tailored professional itinerary for us, many thanks for your good work. Finally, thanks for Kenya! Beautiful country and kind people!
Thank goodness we had the very best driver
We were picked up from our Nairobi hotel by John Kariuki and prepared for the (quite long) drive to the Ashnil Camp in Masai Mara. We were unlucky with the unseasonably wet weather which made some of the Jeep tracks challenging at best. Where we hit gold was with our driver.... he was amazing and refused to allow the conditions to spoil our experience in any way - in fact some spectacular off road driving added to the excitement!. He had amazing knowledge of the park, animals and Kenyan history. Many drivers were getting stuck in the mud and we rescued a few - all the drivers seemed to look to John for advice and I think he was pretty much the only driver who didnt get stuck once! He knew where to go and we saw so much wildlife - 4 out of the big 5 apart from Rhino - we saw Lions, Leopard and Cheetahs plus the Elephants, Warthogs, Zebra, Topi, Hippo (their rumbles gently woke us up in the mornings) plus many many more animals and birds - it was truly sensational. The camp was great and well equipped - very friendly and not too large. Moses in the restaurant welcomed us by name each morning and evening and our Tent helper Cobi was a pleasure. All in all it was super and we'll be back in the July/Aug for a different view with the migration.

OVER THE TOP IN EVERY WAY!
We found Explorer Kenya online -- LUCKY US. From the first email correspondence with Purity to the last goodbye at the airport with Sammy, we had an incredible experience. We were met at the airport in Nairobi and the tour company anticipated our every whim. They treated us as if we owned the company. The tour was tailored exactly as we had requested. The overnight lodgings were 5 star and kept true to the ambiance of their surroundings. Sammy, our driver and guide was first rate. We would ask for him again! Sammy not only found animals for us to photograph, he would approach them from specific angles allowing us to be very close for pictures while ensuring spectacular backgrounds. We learned a lot from his 30 years of experience and also benefited from his superior driving skills. While we had a large and "beefy" Land Cruiser, Sammy could negotiate a mud hole as deftly as if he were threading a needle. We never got stuck, but we did pull a few other vehicles out of the mud. I cannot thank Sammy, Purity, and Explorer Kenya enough for a wonderful experience.

4-day/3-night Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara safari
Amazing experience with Kenya Explorer on a 4-day/3-night Safari to Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Jonathan was an amazing and experienced guide/driver who was able to navigate difficult terrain and find the best game viewing. Saw the Big 5 and so many others. During booking Robert was very responsive and provided a clear and detailed itinerary for the trip.

My guide Jonathan was superb,on the first day we saw three lions and lots of elephant.

Excellent organisation and experienced driver
The reason we chose Explorer is because they always answered quickly to our emails and the price was reasonable for great lodges/safari.
we visited Amboselli, Nakuru and Masai Mara in a private jeep and driver.
It was the first time we ever did a safari and it was better than expected. Our driver Jackson was well experienced and had a lot of knowledge about Kenya and all the wildlife. He made us feel really comfortable. He also drives really safe. We really recommend him!
All the parks where incredible and Explorer's ittinerary was perfect just like the lodges.
We will book again with them if we come back!
