Knowledgeable
We were fortunate to work with EKS for our 12 day safari. In 20 years of travel as a professional photographer, this group was first rate. Their knowledge, professionalism and and humor made our trip stress free. 12 days is a long time to spend with anyone and they made it feel like we were with friends and never strangers.
Simon Peter, Simon and Johnathan couldn’t have done a better job as our guides. As photographers they strives to put us in the best positions and also did a great job spotting and educating along the way. If you are making the journey to Kenya, EKS is the way to go.

Bernard Njing was amazing, super knowledgeable of the park and it’s animals!
Bernard aka Gino was truly amazing. I have some mobility issues and he was sure to help when needed. Very respectful person. His knowledge of the animals and the park, was incredible which gave us access quickly when certain animals were spotted! After this trip I would personally search out Gino. Having many years of experience as a guide gives you some advantages in locating animals. Plus, I never felt unsafe or that I was take an unnecessary risk.

Amazing safari trip
We had a wonderful time with Explorer Kenya. We stayed at Masai Mara for 3 days / 2 nights. Our guide Jonathan has more than 2 decades of experience. He knows the entire area and showed us lots of different animals, including lions, giraffes and hippos.
In one morning drive, we were lucky and saw a rare encounter of three male lions and a lioness who have taken down a hippo, and were taking turns to eat. It’s a National Geographic documentary in real life!

Top Notch experience with Explorer Kenya
We are six adults and one child, travelling to Kenya for African Safari, it was the best, most memorable trip we’ve ever experienced. We booked through Explorer Kenya. We highly recommend using them. Everything was perfection! Our guide Jonathan with Explorer Kenya made our overall amazing experience even better. He was kind, knowledgeable, professional, safe, and fun to be around .The scenery throughout our travels was absolutely breathtaking. We saw countless species of animals and enjoyed every minute of watching them in their natural habitat. Jonathan knew where we’d find every animal on our list. He truly exceeded our expectations and taught us so much about Kenya’s beautiful animals, landscape, and culture. The Explorer Kenya land cruiser was comfortable and durable, allowing us to enjoy every minute of our African Safari Adventure. We are forever grateful for the opportunity to experience this bucket list trip. Book now! You will have zero regrets.

Fantastic safari experience. Very professional
I booked a safari experience with Explorer Kenya and it was the first time, our family of 4 visited Kenya for an African wildlife Safari. All the communication with Purity was super smooth and we exchanged quite a few emails before arrival. She was patient and prompt in all her responses and made sure all our questions were answered.
Upon arrival, we were picked up at Nairobi airport by our driver and guide, Bernard 'Njinu.' We headed towards Masai Mara. Our accommodation was well picked and coordinated by the company. When it comes to wildlife, Njinu is an expert. He knew every bird, animal, and even trees/plants by their name and we saw lots of them. Njinu is truly considerate about nature and wildlife and his depth of knowledge is very impressive. He could spot hidden animals and birds from such a distance, it was unbelievable - he has an "eagle eye!" He made sure to give us the best wildlife viewing experience in the most non-disruptive way. We left with fond memories of Kenya.
Thank you Explorer Kenya and Njinu!

Professional operator, incredible first African safari experience
I along with my family booked a 4-day trip of Masai Mara and 1 day in Nakuru, followed by a day tour of Lake Navasha with Explorer Kenya. Everything from the pickup from Nairobi airport to drop-off in Nairobi was very well organised.
We were very lucky to get Bernard “Njinu” as our driver and guide throughout the tour. He is a man of principle and really cares about nature and wildlife. He always knew what he was doing, giving us the best, unfiltered experience of witnessing the wildlife. There was no question that he didn’t have an answer to. Njinu ensured we have the best African Safari experience especially because it was our first one. We will definitely plan on coming back in the future and would love to have him as our guide again!!
Asante sana “Njinu” and Explorer Kenya!!!

Jonathan was an amazing driver, was very knowledgeable of the area and where to look for animals.
All the drivers talk together over radio to notify each other when and where there is something cool to see. Our car had incredible suspension and comfortable seats. Got to see virtually every animal plus watch lions mate from 20 feet away. Overall just an incredible experience.

Fantastic experience
Coolest thing I’ve done in my life. Jonathan was awesome - great guy, and an amazing guide and driver. Saw all of the Big 5 in Maasai Mara in 1.5 days, and more importantly had a blast doing it!!

The best choice we made!
This was the most amazing safari experience - exceeded all expectations! We saw all of the Big 5 on our game drives and our guide, Jonathan, allowed us to steer in places we wanted to go!
I could not endorse this team more!
