I have found my travel agency for all my trips
5/5

They are a very polite team. They have fast and impeccable service. Immediate information for each step. And of course they are interested in the good of their client.
As I have said to my title I have found my travel agency for all the trips I will do from now on.
Guys are the best

Be careful.
1/5

I paid USD 300 in August 2019 via wire transfer as a deposit to join the safari tour but I had to cancel because they offered a really high price in last minute before I joined the tour in January. So, I did not agree to join the tour and they agreed that they will refund the full amount of USD 300 to me in January. Since then, I've tried to email them many times to get me refund but they kept saying there are finance issues(even before COVID 19 situation) so they will refund later, however it's been 10 months since they acknowledged and refund has not been done. I will try my best to get me refund of USD 300.

Wonderful Experience! Couldn't be happier!
5/5

Everything about the booking process and the safari itself was great! They worked with us as our plans changed due to the pandemic and rescheduling a couple of times. The quality of the guide, vehicle, and accommodations were top notch. Solomon, our guide, was the best part of the whole experience - extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and a great guy. There was nothing I would change about the trip!

Unbelievable and a amazing experience of wild life
5/5

The 3-day Safari trip was a wonderful experience for me and my family. I initially worked with Mayur Jain who endured all of my questions and made sure we got just the package we desired. He was invaluable and made sure every detail was covered. Our tour guide, Jonathan Maina, was fantastic and he went above and beyond in ensuring we captured the best photos as our goal was to see The Big Five. We saw a family of 5 male cheetahs with a fresh kill. He was not hesitant to go off the accessory roads in search of rhinos. He was knowledgeable about the animals, the habitat and the Masai Mara reserve as well as the Masai people. He made sure that our experience was what we wanted and was more than willing to adjust the schedule to meet our needs. He was our translator, too. We did the balloon ride which was beautiful and ended with a delicious breakfast on the reserve. I would highly recommend this company and, especially, Jonathan and Mayur.

Unable to fulfill their obligation
1/5

Very sad to say that due to the pandemic we had to cancel our safari to Kenya with Travel for Change Africa. Because we cancelled so far in advance we should have received a full refund. To date we have received nothing and they no longer return calls or emails. Initially they asked if we would accept payments which we agreed to but not a dime has been sent our way. Clearly our money was not escrowed for our safari but instead used to fund other projects. Don't send them funds for a safari.

Absolutely fantastic
5/5

This is the second time we have used Explorer Kenya and on both trips we have not been disappointed. Rather than taking one of their package tours we opted to arrange our own accommodation and itinerary, and simply asked for the services of a guide/driver and an all terrain vehicle for a week.
Robert, who runs/?owns the business is highly reliable, flexible and a good communicator so it was extremely easy to arrange our trips by email and have them confirmed prior to entering the country.
Both trips included three or four nights in the Maasai Mara staying at Julia’s River Camp, which is a great mid-budget camp, on the banks of the Talek River within the park itself. There is nothing too much trouble for the staff there to ensure your comfort, and I would thoroughly recommend a visit there.
Our driver on safari has always been Dan Kim. Not only is he an excellent driver; calm, unflappable and very conscious of his clients comfort over some of worlds biggest potholes and the most challenging traffic jams around Nairobi, but he is also a fantastic guide / bodyguard / translator and ultimately friend. My daughters were so impressed with his encyclopaedic knowledge of Kenya’s flora, fauna, people’s and their cultures that they desperately tried to find questions he was unable to answer - they failed! Dan has a very pleasant and unassuming personality and was always prompt, courteous, smiling and a great travelling companion. If you need a guide I would unreservedly recommend him.
With thanks to Dan we saw all the animals and birds we could have dreamed of, and learnt so much more about their habits, lives (and deaths!)
Kenya is a land of contrasts - geographically, climatically, culturally and economically. It’s was therefore more than just interesting to travel to a steamy Kisumu on Lake Victoria, up-to the fresh cool Highlands of the Mau and down to the lakes of the Rift Valley. It was really an unforgettable trip.
A quick word about COVID:
1. Need a negative PCR COVID test 96 hrs prior to entry. 2 Fill in Travellers Health Surveillance online form and obtain QR code
VERY impressive precautionary measures everywhere in Kenya - temperature, mask and hand washing before entering any building.
