5/5

This was the trip of a lifetime as it can be very overwhelming with the selection of tours but was made easy by scheduling with Purity Kiruki and Explorer Kenya Tours and Travel. She promptly answered every question and everything was organized perfectly! Our tour guide, Bernard Njinu (Njinu) was perfect! Njinu was kind, patient, very informative and accommodating (he helped my mom in and out of the Land Cruiser and even found her a step to make it easier). We considered Njinu a friend at the end of our tour. We were able to see ALL the animals that we wanted to see, got great photos and Njinu filled us in with lots of facts about the area and animals. I would recommend if you want to take a safari; book with Explorer Kenya and request Njinu as your guide, you won’t regret it!!❤️

It was an unforgettable safaritrip!
5/5

We made a safaritrip of 4 days with Explorer Kenya Tours. We communicated the trip with Robert Murigi . We told him what we wanted to do and he composed a very nice trip. One day to Ol Pejeta en two days to Samburu. The communication about this was very good and fast. Every thing was organised perfect!
Our driver/guide was Simon Nderitu, he was very good, he drived very safe. On the road to the parks he told a lot about the the things we saw.
And in the parks he knew all about the animals, birds and trees. He knew the best places for sunrise and sunset. It was an unforgettable experience!!! We recommend Explorer Kenya Tours to everyone who wants to make a safaritrip.

3 parks in 4 days: Exolorer Kenya did an awsome job, both, before and during the trip
5/5

We booked a private 4-day safari from Mombasa (Diani Beach) in a Toyota Landcruiser. We made the booking online and the communication with the Explorer Kenya office was precise and smooth.
Our aim was to get to know three different parks and three lodges. Our driver, Mwaruma, picked us up at the hotel punctually at 7 a.m. and we first went to Tsavo West. The journey took over 7 hours, but we already learned a lot about the country and its people on the way. On arrival, we had a quick lunch and set off on our first game drive. After the game drive the following morning, we continued to Amboseli Park with fantastic views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Mwaruma has a very good eye for spotting animals and was always ready to answer questions or organize the drive according to our wishes. From Amboseli, we took a long dirt road over to Tsavo East Park the following day. Here, too, there was only time for a quick lunch before we set off on the game drive. After the morning game drive on day 4, we headed back to Diani Beach.
The trip was admittedly a little exhausting, but we not only enjoyed the game drives and the different lodges, but also the many different impressions during the trip. Thank you, Mwaruma, it was great!

Very helpful and professional
5/5

It’s truly a pleasant trip operated by Explorer Kenya. We are lucky enough to see all the big five of Africa. The whole trip is Just two of us in a safari car so it’s quite spacious and personalized.
Our guide and driver is very friendly and knowledgeable for the animals. He will help arrange the plan for the day and prepare the lunch boxes if needed.
All the accommodations are clean and beautiful. Definitely will recommend to friends.

Excellent arrangement and efficiency
5/5

This is the best travel experience I have ever had. We consulted from email when we were in Taiwan and received quick and clear response including visa application and everything.

When we arrived, our Kenya cruise Simonpeter is super trustful and kind always wearing smile and patience to answer our questions. Simon is super knowledgeable to introduce every story of animals and have great eye sight to capture various animals even they are far away. Simon also shared a lot of African culture and language tones to us helped us to obtain a fantastic memory! Highly recommended the service provided from Simonpeter.

Also recommended our Tanzania driver Vincent who always wearing a nice hat and smile. He was flexible but also manageable while we asked some special request on the way like took us have a glance of downtown in Arusha and also introduced a quarterly market on the way when we accidentally saw that market. Vincent also told us some stories behind the animal protection. He always carried many animals dictionaries in the car while we were asking information about animals. Therefore, Vincent is also super recommended for the trip!!

Explorer Kenya Tours & Travel responds quickly before arrival. They have good car condition. The guides we met (Simon Peter in Kenya and Vincent in Tanzania) are also well-experienced in guiding safari and can accommodate our requests agilely and promptly. It was an amazing journey.

Efficient and considerabletour partner for exploring the wonders of Safari in both Kenya and Tanzan
5/5

We are 4 friends firstly travel to Africa with the kind arrangements by Explore Kenya Tours, I feel so safe,satisfied and efficient during the communications with the contact window.

The most highlighted parts of this trip are the guides from Kenya and Tanzania, I would like to mention Simonpeter from Kenya and Vincent from Tanzania were really amazing! Simon is so knowledgeable about the animals and botanics, and he is always smiling and considerable during the trip, we feel so comfortable and enjoyable during our stay with him as well as our stay at Tanzania with Vincent, who is also a very supportive guide & driver during our stay at Serengati and Ngorongoro. We saw EVERYTHING during our trip at Africa and also feel the passion and friendliness of the African.

Without Simonpeter and Vincent, we couldnt have such unforgettable and impressive memories for this amazing trip.

Njinu stewarded our safari adventure with style and grace
5/5

My family recently embarked on a five-day safari tour across several of Kenya's stunning national parks in the Rift Valley. It was an experience that exceeded all our expectations, thanks largely to our phenomenal tour guide, Njinu Bernard.

Our experiece was made richer and more enjoyable by Njinu's encyclopedic knowledge of Kenya's wildlife and culture. With decades of experience, he provided insightful commentary that brought the safari to life, explaining the social behaviors of herds of gazelles, the hunting prowess of hyenas, and seasonal movements of birds. Njinu was not only focused on the big five, but drew our attention to notable bird and even plant life.

Njinu's exceptional driving skills made us feel secure while rumbling through the rugged terrains of Nakuru Lake National Park and Hell's Gate National Park. When we stopped for lunch in a park he was on constant alert for signs of danger and kept a close watch on each member of the party. Njinu also showcased leadership in situations where we were approached by vendors selling various items. He took command of these situations, ensuring that our interactions remained pleasant and unobtrusive.

His character was demonstrated when Njinu walked through a cultural tour taking it upon himself to pick up trash left by others along the path.

Beyond his professional capabilities, Njinu's warm and engaging personality made our trip truly special. The evenings spent enjoying meals and conversations with him were a delight. His stories and insights not only entertained us but also deepened our understanding and appreciation of Kenya.

For all of these reasons, I am pleased to recommend this tour and Njinu in particular.
