Explore Kenya
5/5

Our 12 people group were on Kenya Safari trip on 8/15-24, 2022, guided by Jonathan and James. They were nice, experienced and fun. Their professional training and sound expertise in guiding and driving have ensured an adventurous and safe Safari experience.

On the second day of the trip, we’ve already seen four of the big fives, lions , buffaloes , rhinos, elephants. They always know when and where to take us for the best angle and spot to observe the actions; they were very knowledgeable and explain all the natures , animals and plants, and answered all our questions. With their experience and patience we are able to see all big fives and so many more, beyond our expectations. Their game drives not only led us see the nature and animals, but also gain the knowledge, ex., the antelope family includes eland , kudu, topi, waterbuck, impala, gazelle and more ! We have taken so many breathtaking game photos, videos, and group pictures

8 days Kenya Safari with friends
5/5

We, a group of 12 friends and families, just finished our amazing 8 day Kenya safari trip with the Explorer Kenya. It has totally changed our view of the East Africa, beyond any words that we can use to describe its beauty. Out in the wild Masai Mara, in addition to countless wildebeests and zebras, we saw lions, mom cheetah with her four babies, tree top resting leopard, buffaloes, hippos, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, gazelles, impalas, and many many more. Not to mention black and white rhinos in Oplejeta conservancy, and millions of flamingos in Lake Bogoria. All of these were made possible because of our wonderful guides Jonathan and James. They are very professional and knowledgeable, with a combined over 35 years of experience, there is no animals here they do not know! They are always multitasking - listening to their radios for possible nearby animals and answering our questions. As soon as they heard an animal whereabouts that we haven’t seen, they speeded up our vehicles to take us to the place right on time. When we were unsure, Jonathan would tell us to be patient so we didn’t have to miss what we came here to see such as zebras crossing. Not only can Jonathan spot on animals that we need to use binoculars to see, he is also a great photographer - he taught us how to get the best photos.

We are so lucky to have Jonathan and James as our guides and would like to recommend them to anyone who wants to come to Kenya, to see its beauty in you own eyes !!

Jonathan is a nice and experienced tour guide with impressive driving skill. We spotted lots of wildlife, too bad just no luck for the crossing.
Generally we had a wonderful safari trip.
Asante sana Jonathan!

Just great!
5/5

The service offered by Explorer Kenia was delightfull. Comunication with Ibrahim was easy and clear, and he even helped us with some problems with the local flight, even though the reservation was made by ourselves.
Once here, eveything was better than expected.
SimonPeter picked us up at the airport and during the way to Masai Mara explained múltiple things about the history and customs of the country.
Once in the park we coudn't ask for more. SimonPeter has a smooth drive in these bumpy roads and an amazing hability to move around the park. He did his best so we could not only see every animal but also especial moments and find the best place for the perfect picture, and lots of patience until se managed to get them.
All of this with followed by a very enriching explanation of every animal, plant and geographical point we met. Thank you so much, you made us really happy!
The camp is in a beautiful location, just next to the Talek Door. Food is delicious even when they prepare packed lunch for the safari. The staff is always helpful and making sure you get the most of the full experience.
For sure, we are taking back home, life lasting memories, just as you promised before the adventure started.

Amazing 3 day Mara safari
5/5

I cannot recommend Explorer Kenya more highly. The drivers, Jonathan and Joseph, were excellent. They made sure we saw four of the big five, while showing respect for the animals. We were lucky enough to see lion cubs, a hyena kill, cheetah, a leopard and an aborted river crossing by migrating Wildebeeste, They could answer our questions, from type of bird to animal behaviour. The camp, Ashnil, is set on a bend in the Mara River with hippos in the water below and bushbuck wandering by the restaurant. The service is attentive, the food good, the tents spacious and comfortable. Plus, there is a pool where you can shake out the game drive cramps and the kids can play. It was all we wanted for our family safari - and more. Above all, as Jonathan said, the Mara is a paradise. It was a privilege to be here.

A great organisation, with a great guide in a beautiful country!
5/5

We had a great holiday with Explorer Kenia Tours. Our guide Dan showed us the most beautiful places and he learned us so much about the wild animals and about his country, Kenia. We did great safari’s and beautiful climbs in the mountains. Dan was always on time, waiting for us with his jeep, ready to take us all places!

Great experience with the best guide: Jonathan!
5/5

Great experience with Jonathan during a week in July 2022. I was with my parents, my sister and my girlfriend and we spent some magic times with the best guide, for sure. He always tried and succeeded to show us the best animals and the best views in Amboseli Park, Nakuru Lake, Naivasha Lake and Masai Mara!
I recommend Jonathan! He has always been perfect with us with a great knowledge of the different animals and of all the roads of the parks by heart!
Thank you !
