Excellent Expedition !
I chose to travel with Expedition Kenya Safari to the Masai Mara from 8th November - 10th November 2019. Their driver picked me up on time and we traveled by road to the Masai Mara . The journey was comfortable and enjoyable .
Once we got to the Masai Mara everything had been booked and an itinerary of activities already in place. The accommodation was superb, the meals excellent and the service warm and welcoming.
I went on two game drives with Expedition Kenya Safari and this was an unforgettable experience !. I got to see Siligi the cheetah with seven cubs that had crossed over from Tanzania , Spear boy the limping lion that still walked with the pride of a lion, once, we spotted the ever evasive leopard, not on top of a tree , but on the ground waiting patiently to pounce on a warthog that was hiding in the ground !. I also got to see elephants, buffaloes, giraffes and several bird species. Each game drive had its own unique experience and I waited in anticipation at what the wilderness would reveal to us . The Expedition Kenya Safari team educated me on several animal and bird species as some were new to me .
Lastly, I got the chance to visit a Masai village where the Expedition Kenya Safari team handed out story books to the children and beads to the women . This social responsibility for the Masai community touched my heart .
I would recommend Expedition Kenya Safari to any traveler !.
Well done !.

Professional, excellent service
My mom and I had an amazing experience with Expedition Kenya Safari. Patrick and Willie were truly amazing. Patrick was courteous, his ability as a spotter and knowledge of animals was remarkable; on entering the Masai Mara he spotted a male lion! Willie was friendly and welcoming, his driving skills in pounding rain and knowledge of the Masai Mara terrain was amazing. We had so much fun. We highly recommend Patrick and Willie for their professionalism, planning/organizing, timeliness and excellent service. Looking forward to our next safari!

Unforgettable game viewing
Our wildebeest migration safari at Masai Mara was an experience that went above our expectations. It was our first time wanting to travel to Kenya and we wanted a safari experience that would be unforgettable based on our budget. Patrick recommended a 3 day Masai Mara safari that would coincide with the annual wildebeest migration. We had alot of questions and questions since they are a fairly new company but we decided to give them a chance. We were warmly and happily recieved in Kenya and we were treated like family during our entire stay. We stayed at the Mara Serena and were blown away by the level of comfort and friendliness of the entire staff.. Smiles were handed out generously! Major highlight of the safari was the river crossing. It looked way more dramatic and exciting that what we had seen on TV. The only thing we did not like were the large amount of vehicles in the park. Too many safari vehicles however our driver Ken always found us a great spot to take pictures.

Amazing service and great lodges!!!!
Our experience with Expedition Safari was perfect from the first email to get a quote until we were dropped off at the airport. Patrick got back to me quickly from my initial inquiry and was helpful in constructing an itinerary specifically for us. Emails were prompt, thorough, and clearly written including many options for us and links to the specific lodges. I was able to handpick where we stayed with some guidance from Patrick. Prices seemed very fair especially for higher end service and accommodations.
Upon arrival in Kenya, Patrick, Meshack, and Joseph (our driver/guide) met us at the airport. We arrived at 8pm so went immediately to hotel where they helped us check in and get settled. After a nice buffet breakfast at hotel Joseph picked us up and we departed for Amboselli. We had a private tour - just my wife and I escorted by Joseph in a Land Cruiser for the week. We visited Amboselli, Lake Nakuru, and Maasi Mara. Despite not being during the migration we were able to see tons of animals. We saw 4 of the Big 5 during our safari only missing the leopard. Saw many lions, rhinos, elephants, buffalo along with cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, and antelope. We really had a wonderful experience. Joseph was an unbelievable guide with 18 years of experience. Booking was a seamless process and fully customizable. The lodges and food provided were high end. As a seasoned traveler I have rarely had such a good experience and was very pleased with Expedition Safari. Our final day was my wife's birthday and they arranged a special dinner along with a cake for my wife before dropping is at the airport for our red eye flight. Truly door to door service. Have already recommended Expedition Safari to some of our friends interested in doing their first safari.

Magical trip, well organised, well run, great experience
My wife and I, along with 2 other close friends, had never been to Africa and were looking for an intimate and personal experience up close with the wildlife. Expedition Kenya Safari exceeded our expectations enormously and gave us the best adventure ever!
Patrick had planned our itinerary perfectly, taking into consideration our specific interests first, as well as making sure we didn't miss any of the major highlights Kenya has to offer. His communication all the way along was first class.
A Flawless trip, with fantastic accommodation throughout, Patrick had it all covered. Even when we had a minor dilemma with our credit card being swallowed by an ATM in outback Kenya, Patrick sorted it immediately and had our card returned within minutes, including ensuring no funds had been accidentally taken.
Our driver and spotter John was superb and got us to incredible vantage points to observe all of the wildlife, including the big 5, in their natural environment. His extensive knowledge of all the wildlife added enormously and gave us the most magical experiences we could have imagined.
Our trip was full of laughs, incredible animals, great experiences and together as a group we simply had the best fun!
Thank you so much Patrick and John for giving us one of the most memorable holidays imaginable.
I have no hesitation in recommending Expedition Kenya Safari to anyone considering a safari in Kenya.
We'll be back for sure!

Best Safari Ever!!
We had been thinking about a safari for several years. This year we decided it would be a great way to celebrate our anniversary. We researched several companies and settled on Expedition Kenya Safari. I am so glad we did! From the initial inquiries through the completion of our trip, Patrick, affectionately known as “Free Range”, was professional, responsive and thorough paying attention to the smallest of details. He made sure each lodge we stayed in had some recognition of our anniversary. He even arranged for an anniversary cake to be presented to us on our last evening. This made the trip all the more special. Our driver Joseph, also known as “Eagle-Eye”, was very knowledgeable about all types of plants, birds and animals. He made it his personal mission to make sure we saw as many different species as possible. And he knew just where to look. We actually saw all of the “Big Five” in the first two days! If he ever got tired of hearing “Stop, please” whenever we wanted to get the perfect shot, Eagle-Eye never showed it. Joseph was able to identify everything we spotted. Impressive! If you plan on taking a safari, don’t hesitate to book with Patrick at Expedition Kenya Safari. You can’t go wrong and you won’t be sorry. Thanks Patrick and Joseph for the experience of a lifetime!

Unforgettable Moments
All aspects were excellent. We had 7 days in Kenya and spent it visiting the Amboseli, Samburu and Masai Mara. We were welcomed warmly after the long flight and immediately felt at home. Food was fantastic at the Serena Lodges we stayed. We saw the big five and our favorite were the lions. The staff is great and always helpful. We are thankful to our safari guide Moses for making this long awaited safari a success beyond our expectations. KUDOS

Great staff and beautiful country
Patrick was great with providing us with great information from the moment we started planning for our safari. He was very patient with us as it was our first time in Kenya and we had a lot of questions and concerns. Our safari guide was very entertaining and we had a fantastic time. Kenya and it's people are truly beautiful and we will be back soon.

Great time with friends
I have been wanting to visit Africa for a while and narrowed it to Kenya. After corresponding with several tour companies, Expedition Kenya Safari was my final choice. We felt special and at ease when Patrick the company owner handled all our e mail and phone communications. Although it was a challenge for us to find a safari package that met our budget, he was patient enough to work with us. We ended up spending more than we had planned but it was worth it. On arrival we were met by Kuria who runs operations. A very entertaining gentleman who checked on our progress during our entire safari duration. He even joined us for late lunch before our flight home. Kenya beat all our expectations for its wildlife, scenery and hospitality. And yes we will be back.....
