take good care of yourself moses
First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the travel agency, Kenya Explorer, especially to our pre-trip consultant, Robert, and our guide, Moses. Robert was incredibly attentive and patient, especially considering this was my first visit to Kenya. He provided me with invaluable assistance and advice throughout the planning process. His genuine sincerity was truly appreciated. Once again, thank you, Robert.
Next, I'd like to talk about my good buddy, Moses. Moses is a witty, humorous, wise, and optimistic fellow who went above and beyond to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the trip. He was extremely diligent and responsible. However, I would like to express my concern for his well-being and suggest that he take good care of his health by eating on time and taking precautions like wearing a mask during safaris to avoid respiratory issues.
Having covered these two important individuals, let's discuss accommodations and dining during this trip. The itinerary included Nairobi, Mount Kenya, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, and back to Nairobi, with corresponding hotels being Hilton Garden, Fairmont, Sweetwater, Nakuru Sopa, Ashnil, Naivasha Sopa, and Kibo. Considering overall dining and lodging experiences, I believe Naivasha Sopa deserves the top spot among lodges, and Ashnil is the best camp.
Lastly, I would like to mention a couple of regrets. Firstly, the main purpose of this trip was to witness the Wildebeest crossing, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see it. Secondly, I hope that in the future, Kenyan shops can be more welcoming and less pushy towards Chinese tourists. It's important not to overcharge or take advantage of visitors. The friendship between China and Kenya is longstanding, and it's essential to maintain a positive impression of Kenya and Africa as a whole for Chinese travelers.
Once again, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Kenya Explorer, Robert, and Moses for making this trip unforgettable.

Well organized trip, good recommendations & great guide
Overall everything was great. Communication was very smooth, every recommendation was spot on. Delivered everything that was promised & more. Every hotel booking was secured and gave us good rooms. The vehicle was well maintained and company-owned and the guide was amazing (big shout out to James!). I would recommend all of my friends to go with the company.

Amazing Safari Experience!
Our Driver/Guide Henry was absolutely fantastic!
He was very experienced and knowledgeable about the areas and had a great skill to find and spot wildlife around the parks.
He made sure that the tour ran smoothly and punctually and made us feel completely at home.
Explorer Kenya were quick to respond and easily assisted any questions and queries that I had when making the booking.
We did a trip through Tsavo east, west and Amboseli parks, which provided a great diversity of wildlife and game viewing.
Henry was a great Guide, but also a fantastic advocate for sharing information about Kenyan culture whilst driving between locations.
Thanks for an amazing experience, 10/10 would recommend.

Explorer Kenya is trustworthy, dependable, and provides exceptional service for Kenyan safaris.
This was my first visit to Kenya for a safari vacation and I planned it myself without using a travel agent. I was looking for a car and driver/safari guide to take me around the safari destinations. In doing some online research I came upon the name of Robert Murigi of Explorer Kenya Tours and Travel (WhatsApp: +254 778 170 650; email: [email protected]; website: www.explorerkenya.com ) and let him know I was wanting to go from Nairobi to Amboseli for 2 nights, West Tsavo for 1 night, East Tsavo for 1 night and then dropped off at Diani beach. Robert quoted me a fair price and I booked the trip and paid my deposit. Robert set me up with an amazing driver guide Bernard Njuni (WhatsApp: +254 725 744617;
Calls: +254 798 811 513 ;
email: [email protected]) who picked me up from my Nairobi hotel exactly at the agreed upon time. I was a bit nervous about this part of the trip planning since it was my first time and much depended on the driver being responsible. Bernard was exceptional full stop! He has a deep knowledge of the safari regions, the animal names and behaviors (including the numerous birds), the flora and fauna of the region and the history of Kenya. He is a great communicator and conversationalist and I learned a tremendous amount in a conversational format. I would highly recommend both Bernard and Explorer Kenya to anyone looking for a safari guide and driver. Do not bother hiring a spotter as well as Bernard is an excellent spotter too. I know that Explorer Kenya and Bernard do trips that also include other adventures besides safaris such as mountain climbs and other sporting activities but I don’t know the full extent of those services. Definitely call or email or Whatsapp to Explorer Kenya to plan your next Kenya adventure. You will not be disappointed!

great,guide friendly and profession
Our journey was very happy, the guide was very professional, the first time to find the best shooting Angle to stop. The travel agency is very responsive and will make adjustments according to our itinerary. The hotels along the way are good
Very responsive, helpful and gave us lots of suggestions and ideas of where to go and what to see.
Wow, what a fantastic week we’ve just had! We spent a couple of days in Nairobi before driving to Lake Nakuru and then going on to Masai Mara. Our guide Moses was absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable, very considerate and we saw so much with him including a cheetah with her 4 cubs, a leopard, an ostrich family, lions (including one snoring on his back under a tree!) and the list goes on! We look forward to booking our next safari with this company and would love it if Moses was our guide again. Thank you from us both.

Explorer Kenya is the perfect operator to go on safari
We would definitely recommend explorer Kenya. We are very thankful and we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible safari experience we had with this agency. From the moment we arrived in Kenya, the team went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our trip was flawless.
The knowledge and expertise of our guide Daniel truly made a difference in the quality of our safari. He was not only skilled in spotting wildlife, but also in sharing his vast knowledge about the local ecosystem and culture. Thanks to his guidance, we were able to witness breathtaking moments and create unforgettable memories. Daniel was also a very safe driver and the car was in good condition.
The accommodations and logistics arranged by Explorer Kenya were impeccable. Each lodge and camp we stayed in offered a unique and authentic experience, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the beauty and diversity of Kenya's landscapes.
Again we would definitely recommend explorer Kenya and Daniel as a guide.
