6 Day 5 Night Safari (2 Masai Mara, 2 Amboseli, 1 Lake Naivasha)
We got different quotes for safaris before we booked with kenia explorer. The price was fair and we read a lot of good reviews. Our guide was Jonathan. He answered all the questions that we had and he adapted to our interests. He also knows a lot about photography and so he always positioned the car in the right place to take the best pictures. The safari itself was very good. We saw incredible scenes of lions in masai mara and took great pictures in amboseli of elephants infront of the Kilimandscharo. We were very happy with our choice and jonathan as our guide.

A memorable experience!
We have just completed our 4 day safari through the National Parks of Kenya. Every minute was enjoyable right through to the end. Our guide/driver Jonathon was very informative and made our experience a memorable one. The accommodation that the company organised was exceptional. One of the hotels was closed due to the pandemic so they organised an upgrade for us that was fantastic. All the staff we met were very friendly and could not do enough to make us feel relaxed and comfortable. We would 100% recommend Explorer Kenya for your safari needs. They certainly exceeded our expectations. Thank you again to Robert for organising our trip and Jonathon for helping us with our photographs and providing us with excellent binoculars to spot the animals.

Jonathen made this trip an experience of a life time
I cannot recommend explorer Kenya highly enough. I traveled to Kenya alone for a nine day safari and it really was outstanding. My driver Jonathen whom I had for the whole nine days was a complete gentleman and all round genuine guy. He went above and beyond to make sure I had an amazing time and took care of everything I did not have to worry about anything. It truly was an experience of a life time. I will definitely be coming back.

3 Days to Amboseli National Park
We were delighted to be hosted for a second time with Explorer Kenya Safaris, We communicated with Robert and he Provided us with one of the best driver guide Jonathan.
Our Safari was a memorable one ,we were picked from our house and proceeded to Amboseli National Park arriving in just before Lunch .we relaxed and did a 4 pm game drive for three and a half hours, during our evening game drive we were lucky to see Elephants grazing in swamps ,lots of Flamingos and many more different species of local and migratory birds. Amboseli is just a Paradise of Bird watchers.
Our second day was amazing too, started an early morning game drive at 6: 15 am, until around 8:40 am when we went back for Breakfast and had a wonderful time relaxing at our luxurious Totilis Camp. That evening at 4 pm we embarked for a game drive and our Guide Jonathan took us a very nice evening sundowner spot at the observation Hill to have a spectacular view of Mount Kilimanjaro and watched amazingly the sun setting toward the West. Our Evening was awesome too with lots of Elephants, hippos, and different kinds of Gazelles. we went back to our Luxurious Camp for overnight.
Last Day at Amboseli; We woke up as usual on this day at 6 am went out this time hoping to see the cats, surprisingly we were able to find lions relaxing few meters beside the road, these crowned our Safari experience. Our gratitude's goes to Robert of Explorer Kenya and our very knowledgeable Guide Jonathan, answering our questions and for his knowledge and history of this great park and history about wildlife and behaviors. Asante Sana Explorer Kenya Management.

Nairobi National Park safari
The customer service was the best, Jonathan is the best tour guide around. Our trip to the national park was amazing, Jonathan knows the best places within the park and is quite friendly. The vehicle was spacious and social distancing measures were enforced. I would heavily recommend Explorer Kenya Safaris Ltd.

Bad driver did not deliver tour itinerary.
Maybe this experience is idiosyncratic, but our driver was not delivering the booked tour itinerary.
We booked a 3 days Amboseli safari, with a morning game drive on the last day.
The driver refused to deliver the morning game drive even though it was clearly on the itinerary. He also got aggressive ans insulting when we brought up the topic. My conjecture is that the driver wanted to pocket in the entrance fee for the park.
Further, on the way back, driver did not pay toll for expressway in Nairobi, letting us stand in traffic jam for 2 hours and unnecessarily prolonging the journey.
Also the convenience fee they charge on online payments is unreasonable.
Otherwise the service was okay but for the price I would expect differently.
Stay away from this provider.

12 days Kenya safari
What a safari we had. Our guide, driver, and organizer Jonathan made our adventure. He was with us the whole trip. We saw lions and cubs eating their prey. Leopard in the tree with his prey. Elephants, giraffes, hyena….we saw everything. Jonathan knows where to find them and the patience to wait. We were safe, in wonderful lodges and luxurious tents. Food was good and lots of it. This was indeed a trip of a life time. Thank you so much Jonathan and Explore Kenya Safari’s
