6 Days Safari
Our six-day safari began in Nairobi. Our driver and guide, Peter, picked us up from our hotel and set off on a wonderful adventure. We visited four national parks, covered many kilometers, and saw a vast array of animals and birds. Everything was perfectly organized. Our driver, Peter, was wonderfully prepared, always punctual, and extremely knowledgeable about the animals and their habits. Without going into detail, we highly recommend this company, and especially our guide, Peter! Excellent service and definitely recommended for everyone.

Exceptional package and service!
This was one of the best vacation packages we had. The tour driver Sammy was exceptional. He went out of the way to show us wild animals very close as possible in Masai Mara! He was the first one to reach prime spots and he was extremely knowledgeable! Great accommodation, food and exceptional service! Pricing also was extremely reasonable! Highly Recommended operator for Kenya safari vacation!!

Very enjoyable Safari Trip
Our guide over our 6 day safari was excellent. Very professional and knowledgeable and guided us to view all animals in the safari parks. Organisation of the tour was good and everything was delivered as promised. The food was very good overall, some lodges better than others. Our accommodation was very good and we were satisfied overall although some lodges were much nicer than others. The Nakuru Sopa lodge was exceptionally good, however, the Sopa Mara Lodge was dated and could do with renovation. I would not recommend the optional tours and activities as they did not represent good value for money.

Amazing experience with Explorers Wild Safari
We travelled in June 2025 and had an amazing experience with Explorers Wild Safari from start to finish. Johann was very helpful and put together a competitive customised package to meet our requirements. Communication throughout with the company was very clear and hassle-free. The final arrangements were exactly as we were promised and we had a wonderful guide, David, who was very knowledgeable and took efforts to make our whole experience very enjoyable. I have already recommended them to my friends and wouldn't hesistate to use them again!

Very reliable
From the planning stage to the actual trip, the service was excellent. I really appreciated the time the sales person took to answer all my questions in detail—it made the planning process much easier and helped set our expectations clearly.
Our guide and driver, George, was outstanding. He was professional, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to satisfy our curiosity about the wildlife and the ecosystem. His expertise made our game drives truly enjoyable and educational.
We also loved experiencing Kenyan hospitality—everyone we met at the lodges and camps was warm, friendly, and welcoming. The food throughout the trip was excellent as well.

Amazing safari experience!
We did a 8 day safari with Wild Explorers to Masai Mara and Amboseli. The company was easy to communicate via email and WhatsApp and organised our trip seamlessly.
Our guide was David who picked us up from Nairobi airport and stayed with us as our driver and guide the whole time. David was superb, a very skilled driver and animal spotter!! He was tireless, enthusiastic and drove us around all day, to try and get us to witness the migration, a river crossing, big cats and a kill. We would wholeheartedly recommend Wild Explorers and David!!

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Do Not Recommend
We had an awful experience with Explorers Wild Adventures and cannot recommend this company.
The safari vehicle they provided was completely unfit for purpose, which caused us to miss an entire game drive — one of the main reasons we booked this trip. When we raised the issue, the company admitted fault and promised to refund the park fees for the day we lost. Months later, despite repeated follow-ups, we have still not received our refund and they are now ignoring our messages.
A safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the lack of professionalism, poor communication, and failure to deliver what was promised ruined what should have been a highlight of our trip to Kenya. There are many reputable operators in Kenya — avoid this one if you want reliability, honesty, and a properly run safari.

Posted on Sep 15, 2025Dear Anita,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We value every review, as it helps us improve and better serve our travelers. We sincerely regret that your experience did not fully meet your expectations.
We deeply apologize for the vehicle breakdown on the first day and the inconvenience caused by the wait for the replacement vehicle. As soon as we received the report from your driver-guide, a replacement was dispatched promptly, and you were able to proceed with your journey that same day, including enjoying lunch en route. Please rest assured that our vehicles undergo thorough inspections after every safari to ensure they are mechanically sound. Unfortunately, this was an unforeseen and rare occurrence something that can happen to any safari company and we truly regret that it affected the start of your trip.
Regarding the missed evening game drive in the Masai Mara, we understand your concern. However, upon reviewing the matter with your driver-guide, he reported that you requested to go directly to the lodge to rest, as you told him being tired from a previous city tour in Nairobi. Given that there was ample time to arrive for the evening drive, your guide respected your request. To ensure you still enjoyed a full safari experience, we instructed him to extend your game drives on the second day to compensate for the missed activity.
With regard to the park entry fees, kindly note that these are paid in advance to the park authorities and were non-refundable at the time you were requesting for the refund, which is why we were unable to process the refund you requested.
We also note that during your safari you did not raise any issues regarding the lodges or your driver-guide, and we are pleased that the remainder of your trip went smoothly without further concerns.
While we have had the privilege of hosting hundreds of travelers who have left us positive reviews, we truly regret that certain aspects of your safari did not meet your expectations. Please know that your feedback is extremely valuable to us, and we will continue working hard to ensure every guest enjoys the best possible safari experience.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused at the beginning of your safari, and we thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Guest Relations Team.

Exceptional!
My wife and I (from Northampton Uk) travelled at the end of August 2025, and began planning the trip some months earlier.
All the communications with Explorers Wild Adventures were by WhatsApp and very easy. Johann Mwale answered all our questions and guided us through the process. We chose to upgrade to a Toyota Landcruiser instead of a safari van, and elected to have it to ourselves, (I would have driven anyone else mad what with wanting to stop and watch / photograph all sorts of things...).
We had 6 nights, 7 days at - Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Mara.
We were picked up bang on time at our accommodation in the Karen district of Nairobi on the morning of the start of our safari, and we had first to pop into Nairobi to pay the balance of our safari – we paid this by cash in US dollars having had already paid a deposit by transfer earlier.
Our driver / guide George, was great. As well as spotting wildlife, and getting info from other drivers through the radio, he was also a mad keen football fan which gave my wife and him a lot to talk about when the wildlife spotting was done for the day! Sadly though, he is a Manchester United fan...
We opted to stay in the middle range of properties, the Sentrim lodges. The tents / rooms were great, and there was lots of food at each meal. On occasions when we were travelling between lodges, or just out for the whole day, we had a packed lunch which was more than adequate.
A measure of how well organised Explorers Wild is, was evident when our vehicle hit a nasty pothole on the road to the Mara, and needed some minor repairs. George took very quick and very good action to avoid any further clashes with oncoming traffic. I also bumped my head and needed a little treatment at a little Masai clinic, which was great, and the local folks helped enormously.
Explorers Wild Adventures whirred into action and quickly found another vehicle to take us onwards, and for our next safari, and they also found a great new guide and a driver for the day, whilst George stayed with our vehicle and organised repairs.
A truly impressive response! George was back with us a day later with the newly repaired Landcruiser.
Thanks to Explorers Wild Adventures, and to Johann and George for such a great time, and also for their superb, and speedy action in getting everything back on track when our vehicle was temporarily out of action.

Just Waou !
We planed our trip to Kenya in March. The communication was fluid, very responsive. Johann Mwale, the sales team leader answered all the questions i could have. Just perfect.
Our guide, Zachary Omondi was amazing. From early in the morning to very late in the afternoon (most of the time, at night !!), he was fully involved, dedicated to our goal...Watch a maximum of animals and enjoying the incredible landscape. He totally deserved his nickname "Zachary MAGIC EYES"...after only 5 days, we feel like he was part of the family :-)
It was a real tear to get back to the airport.
