A fantastic & perfect Safari with Explorer Kenya and the guide Bernard Njinu
It has been a fantastic safari! Our driver Bernard Njinu was perfect, a very experienced guide, he showed us Sambury Park, Nakuru and Masai Mara as only an expert can. The Toyota Lancruiser, practically new and very comfortable.
The organization was impeccable, first they resolved all doubts when planning the route, the price was the most competitive we found, and thanks to Robert, the manager, everything went as planned without any surprises.
We recommend this agency without any hesitation.

Maasai Mara with Kids
Our Maasai Mara safari with Explorer Kenya (Jonathan) was great!
We’re a traveling family with a 2 and 4 year old. Jonathan is a kind, knowledgeable person and made sure the kids were comfortable; they even slept during the game drives on bumpy roads.
We saw many animals and every game drive something special: a group of 20 hyenas feasting on a zebra, 2 leopards, lion couple, lions with cubs feasting on another zebra, a cheetah chasing gazelles and our daughter’s favorites, lots of (alive) zebras and giraffes.
The Simba Lodge was ok, but clearly low-season, the personnel at the restaurant were bored and tried to help in every way possible which was mostly annoying, overwhelming and not helpful at all. The lodge is not kids friendly, the pool is to cold and there are no other playgrounds/games.

Very well organized & great value for money
From the moment we arrived at Nairobi airport we were very well taken care of by our amazing guide Simon Peter who at all times was totally professional & knowledgeable, not only about the animals but also about the people & culture of Kenya. We learned so much & have so many wonderful memories to take home.

A bundle of joy and knowledge
We have had the best experience with Explorer Kenya safaris, Simon Peter is one of the most experienced guides I’ve ever encountered. His depth of nature knowledge was incredible, from the smallest bird to the biggest beast in the national parks. He had a nugget of information to tell for each animal.
I would highly recommend this trip as you are in safe hands from start to finish. We visited 3 of Kenya’s national parks: Amboseli, Tsavo West & Hells Gate. All vary in landscapes from open grasslands to forestry. Each as beautiful as the next, if you want to see the big 5, explorer kenya is the company, they know where to find each animal based off their years of experience.
This safari is great for a solo as well as group activity. From cultures, communities & food, we experienced it all. It exceeded my expectations profoundly. When you think kenya you think of mainly game drives and safari lodges. Ontop of the safaris we were treated to an immersive insight about the Masai tribe. I was amazed to learn of the traditions. My biggest surprise was how incredibly friendly the people were, everyday I was greeted with a big smile and the sound of ‘Jambo’ you can’t start your day in a better way.
In conclusion, you NEED to book your trip with explorer kenya NOW! It’s worth every penny!

Simon Peter was an amazing guide, trip was once in lifetime for me and he made it all come true
Simon Peter and John were so easy to get along with had great sense of humour. Found animals each outing and I always felt safe in the vehicles used for Safari’s. These two guides are a credit to the company they work for and we’re always there to please us as travellers and I like to think we became friends over the time we were together
