Excellent Guide
We booked a private Mara tour. We were allowed to tweak the itinerary a bit to work better for us which was great. Our guide was "Sammie" he was full of knowledge about the area and the different animals and even kept a reference nearby to show us the differences in some of the wildlife found in Kenya. We were at the end of migration season so it was a bit tough to see all of the Big 5 but he worked hard to find them. Would definitely request him again.

Fantastic 3 days safari with Jonathan Maina
We came to Mara Eden safari camp for 3 days with Jonathan as our driver. We had spectacular game drives around the Masai Mara park. We took the morning and eveningsdrives because the activity of the animals is then the biggest. On our first evening game Jonathan took us to beautiful places and we saw a lot of the animals already. We had even a rarely hyena-zebra hunt to chase with the jeep. On the second day we went in the morning to see a lot of baby lions (11) and 6 mothers. When we went back to the camp we saw the father lion hidden in the bush. We had a safe trip, we watched all the animals of the big five and much more. Thanks to him for this fantastic experience !
Thanks Jonathan
Your belgian friends

8 days / 7 nights tailored Kenya Safari
We have booked our Safari with Explorer Kenya a few weeks before our trip.
The contact via Email with Explorer Kenya was easy and Robert got always back with answers in no time.
At the end we had a tailor made safari of 8 days and 7 nights in Amboseli and Masai Mara.
The entire organization was top. There was a little hick up as we ordered Softdrinks throughout the entire safari but they got forgotten. The problem could be solved very easy during the trip.
Our Safari Driving Guide Jonathan was top. He was super helpful, professional and he brought us always safe and sound from A to B. Thanks to his enthusiasm and the radio equipment of the Land cruiser we were able to see so many animals in both parks and had some unforgettable moments.
As a little con I would like to mention the hassle with the payment. First the company charges a high percentage of 3,9% of the total amount for Visa and Mastercard payments. This shouldn't be anymore in 2021. (By the way: we didn't pay any credit card fees at hotels, Lodges, shops and so on). But ok, so we choose the bank transfer. I sent the deposit of the safari with all costs covered by my bank but 15$ got lost somewhere in the transaction. It was no problem as I payed the rest of the amount prior arrival. So I did sent the rest of the amount, all costs covered by myself plus an additional 15$ to cover the cost lost in transaction. But this time 33$ didn't arrived. Explorer Kenya said it is an intermediate bank but my house bank operates worldwide and sent the amount direct. So to avoid losing 48$ please check with your bank about the payment.
All in all we had an amazing stay in Africa and the Parks and variety of animals are simply amazing. Thank you to Jonathan for the adventures and guiding us during our Safari.
Excellent experience

Masai Mara full discovery
I was impresed from the begining by the perfect tuning of pur guid Douglas. Also jos knoledge aboud masai and the rezerve vere impresing. He was drive extremely carefull and all the tripa were wery confortabile with no jumps despite that the roads were after some taina quite dificult. He knows all roads and crossing points. Also he Have respect for the rules of rezerve and a proactive attitude. Husa respect for wild life impresia me top, for exemple he wait until a Snake can ne avoided during his crossing of the road. Maybe for this he knows animale and their places and etology very well. I remember that we were only us to observe a five leonesse pack. Not in the end his humorus and cheerfull attitude was completing the tripa. I want to thanks also to Robert for his help in chossing Best variant and schedule. The orice was very food and the condiționa the same very food. I want to congratulate also rezerve administrații and rangers for their work. Me as university teacher with concerne in plastic polution research motive that rezerve is almost plastic free.

Seven days safari in kenya
the trip has exceeded expectations. The organization has been perfect, from the first moment we have felt very Agustí with our guide, Jonathan Maina, who has made it possible for us to see the Big Five and practically all the mammals and birds that we wanted to see on this trip. Masai Mara is a mythical place that you cannot miss, and Amboseli in a special place, on the slope of Kilimanjaro. We came here to be able to photograph the Gerenuk, and we have succeeded, with Maina everything is possible. You can see photos on my Instagram profile @gzlwildlife

Excellent service and very professional
Did a 3 day trip to Amboseli NP with Sammy as driver/guide. Sammy has excellent spotting skills and thorough wildlife knowledge (particularly birds!) and was very professional throughout, would definitely recommend.
