Trip of a lifetime
5/5

This was genuinely the trip of a lifetime, we want to go back already!
Simon (our driver) was fantastic. Really friendly, knowledgeable, funny guy. We felt 100% safe and comfortable at all times.
We opted for the luxury mara camp for 3 nights, which was just incredible. Worth every penny. Waking up to the sounds of nature in the night was just magic (mainly hippos!).
We spotted 4 out of the big 5. The most amazing moment was seeing mummy leopard with baby leopard. We also saw cheetah, lots of lions and cubs, hyena, warthog, mongoose, baboon, giraffe, zebra.. and so many more!
Robert in the booking office was also great - really quick to respond to any questions I had.
My only negative was when transferring the deposit. I had my bank transfer 615USD, but the booking office said they only received 590USD. There wasn't really a way of disproving this so I had to pay the difference.
All in all - amazing trip. Would definitely book through this operator again.

Absolutely loved our time in Kenya thanks to Explorer Kenya Tours.
5/5

We recently completed a 7 day safari to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara. There were 6 of us - myself (aged 57), my husband ( aged 69) and our two adult children and their partners. We had a private vehicle and guide for ourselves and it was amazing. We saw more wildlife experiences than we ever thought possible. We would highly recommend this trip and Explorer Kenya. Our safari guide was David. He was friendly, knowledgeable, flexible and an amazing driver. Due to recent rains, the roads and tracks were muddy and slippery. David managed to keep us safe and on track at all times. We actually helped to pull out other vehicles that were stuck in the mud without ever getting stuck ourselves. Thank you David for keeping my family safe and for showing us some amazing animals and amazing sights while increasing our knowledge of Kenya - it’s wildlife, people and customs. We hope to be able to come back again one day. We still need to find that leopard!

Thanks also to the safari camps we stayed at ( Kibo, Flamingo Hill and Mara Eden) for providing delicious food and catering for our special dietary requirements.

The whole experience with Explorer Kenya was easy to organise thanks to Robert in head office, who also answered my many questions promptly and reliably. Robert also arranged for us to have a vehicle and driver/ guide (Ben) for our 2 days in Nairobi. This was a fantastic way for us to explore Nairobi and its surrounding sights at a reasonable cost.

We are so happy to have found Explorer Kenya Tours for our trip of a lifetime.

Jonathan was one our safari highlights
5/5

Jonathan was an amazing and very friendly tour guide! He had a lot of patience with our kids. He explained to us everything and he always made sure we saw something exciting every game drive with him. I fully recommend him to everyone who wants to have an interesting game drive in Masai Mara

The tour was very well organized and safe
5/5

We were able to insert some private requests and really did a tailored tour. Management was really helpful to organise it with us.
Everything was super organised and on time since arrival at airport to departure.
The resorts were very nice with very good food.
The Toyota car was comfortable and clean and our driver Jonathan was just super nice, always going the extra mile for customer and always safe and respectful of rules.
Definitely a very well organization tour. We will use them again for sure.
A very pleasant experience indeed.

it was excellent , adventure and courage trip and outstanding feature of animal crossing river.
5/5

It has been guided very friendly & professional manner, we thank special to Mr. Martin Kamau, the one guide took us well and full-filled our entire day on entire trip with much patience and he has explained well about each and everything during safari.

We thank to Ms. Purity Kiruki the coordinator of Kenya Explorer, the one given guidelines from beginning till end.

we suggest everyone has to visit Kenya safari to get something difference wild experience which we wont get anywhere in this world and we are always guest in safari (for Animals) , as we should not spoil / disturb / pollute their Kingdom at any cost at any time.

there is no replacement for Wild-life & it is very wonder/ surprise to see that still people are living with their own traditional life style !

Truly amazing, once in a lifetime experience with Explore Kenya!
5/5

We had Jonathan as our guide who is very professional, always on-time, never says no to any request + very experienced and knows where to find the animals and predicts how they would behave. The company also has a very professional service, super responsive and had no hassle at all at any point. They were flexible enough to make changes to the itinerary to improve our experience.

Awesome!
5/5

Douglas was our tour guide for our safaris and he was amazing! He knew a lot about the wildlife which was quite helpful. As I am a wildlife photographer and because of his knowledge and skills about wildlife I was able to get good images. He was courteous and always on time ... I highly recommend him as a safari guide.
