Highly professional
I actually did the safari by myself. First I thought it is quite expensive for 1 person and just 1 night, but after finishing I know it is 100% worth it and will remain in my memories for ever. I saw a lot of lions and a great abundance of animals also while being in the lodge (salt lick). The driver, Abdul, was at all time very pleasant to be around, could answer me many questions about Kenya and about the safari topics. He was always prepared to go the extra mile to guarantee a great customer experience. I would highly suggest going to the safari with explorer kenya
Very excellent touroperator, with very excellent driver/guide!
We did the 3days tour to Amboseli. The planning of our tour was a good experience, the communication was clear and fast, so that was great.
Our driver/guide was Pieter Kago, he was an very good driver and guide. He told us so much, beginning on our tour in Nairobi. We loved it, because we like to learn everything about Kenya. The safaritour in Amboseli Park was great. Pieter knows how to look for the animals with respect for them. We appreciate that.
We have seen a lot of animals , lions, elefants, birds etc. and a great view of the Kilimanjaro. Our stay in Kibo Safari Camp was also excellent. It was all arranged by Explorer Kenya Tours. Thank you so much.

Good contact, quick response and everything was well organized.
We had booked a safari with Explorer Kenya Tours & Travel. From 23 to 26 January we visited 3 parks Amboseli, Tsavo West and East. We had a fantastic safari, especially because we had Simon as our guide. He is a very calm patient driver. He has a lot of knowledge and an eye for detail, nothing was too much to ask. We can highly recommend the safari with Simon as a guide.

Great family safari
Njinu was a fantastic guide! Because of him, our family had the most incredible time in Kenya. We were only there for three days, but in those days Njinu taught us so much about the Masai Mara Reserve and all the animals that live in it. We are a large family of six but Njinu handled everything so graciously and made us laugh every day. He is filled with knowledge from all of his experience as a guide and is passionate about what he does. Njinu has so much kindness and made us feel so comfortable even though we were miles away from home. We could not recommend booking a trip to the Masai Mara Reserve with Explorer Kenya enough! You will learn so much and leave planning your next trip back!

The Best in All of Kenya / Tanzania
There are not enough words to describe how thankful I am for working with EKS on our 12 day journey through Kenya. As a professional photographer I need to rely on the very best and that mission was certainly accomplished. Expectations were certainly met and from Day one having Simon Peter , Simon and Jonathan guide for us provided the best service. They knew where all the animals should be and their knowledge of all local wildlife is surpassed by none. I have never photographed so many animals and scenes in such a short span pf time. The Big Five was covered right away and from then on the trip just got better each day.
I am especially lucky to have spent all 12 days with my new friend Jonathan, His humor, professionalism, and his genuine passion for producing the best safari experience was always first class. He cared so much about my experience and it is shown is professional. As a photographer I hoped to be put in the best possible positions to get the shot and there were so many times that John just knew what to do without even me asking. That is instinct and service you need to rely on. I will never entertain coming back to Kenya without working with EKS and John. I without a doubt recommend this guide service and in our 12 days together we had an amazing time and all of our needs were met beyond expectations.
On a personal note I will certainly miss Jonathen, Simon Peter and Simon. Getting to know them was really great and feel like I have made 3 news buddys that I will always want to share Tuskers with…
EKS is without a doubt top notch service and you will be glad you worked with them. If you do not believe me here are a couple of images…

Knowledgeable
We were fortunate to work with EKS for our 12 day safari. In 20 years of travel as a professional photographer, this group was first rate. Their knowledge, professionalism and and humor made our trip stress free. 12 days is a long time to spend with anyone and they made it feel like we were with friends and never strangers.
Simon Peter, Simon and Johnathan couldn’t have done a better job as our guides. As photographers they strives to put us in the best positions and also did a great job spotting and educating along the way. If you are making the journey to Kenya, EKS is the way to go.

Bernard Njing was amazing, super knowledgeable of the park and it’s animals!
Bernard aka Gino was truly amazing. I have some mobility issues and he was sure to help when needed. Very respectful person. His knowledge of the animals and the park, was incredible which gave us access quickly when certain animals were spotted! After this trip I would personally search out Gino. Having many years of experience as a guide gives you some advantages in locating animals. Plus, I never felt unsafe or that I was take an unnecessary risk.

Amazing safari trip
We had a wonderful time with Explorer Kenya. We stayed at Masai Mara for 3 days / 2 nights. Our guide Jonathan has more than 2 decades of experience. He knows the entire area and showed us lots of different animals, including lions, giraffes and hippos.
In one morning drive, we were lucky and saw a rare encounter of three male lions and a lioness who have taken down a hippo, and were taking turns to eat. It’s a National Geographic documentary in real life!

Top Notch experience with Explorer Kenya
We are six adults and one child, travelling to Kenya for African Safari, it was the best, most memorable trip we’ve ever experienced. We booked through Explorer Kenya. We highly recommend using them. Everything was perfection! Our guide Jonathan with Explorer Kenya made our overall amazing experience even better. He was kind, knowledgeable, professional, safe, and fun to be around .The scenery throughout our travels was absolutely breathtaking. We saw countless species of animals and enjoyed every minute of watching them in their natural habitat. Jonathan knew where we’d find every animal on our list. He truly exceeded our expectations and taught us so much about Kenya’s beautiful animals, landscape, and culture. The Explorer Kenya land cruiser was comfortable and durable, allowing us to enjoy every minute of our African Safari Adventure. We are forever grateful for the opportunity to experience this bucket list trip. Book now! You will have zero regrets.
