Exotic Safari Experience
4/5

Thanks to Rapheal our our tour guide for an excellent safari experience and booking us in one of the best camps available in Masai Mara, "Base Camp Explorer".
The only complain is about the vehicle, a Nissan Van which could have been better to beat the terrain drive of 100 kms. Its better to have vehicles with better suspension for such roads, something like a land cruiser maybe.

Amazing Honeymoon!
5/5

I booked my Honeymoon trip with east African safaris and Raphael and it was an unbelievable experience and one I will never forget.
I choose and planed a route of three national parks I wanted to go to over the 8 days I had between flying in and out of Nairobi. From there Raphael took care of everything else. He picked us up from the airport and made sure everything was ok form the rest of the trip. Joseph was our driver and he was excellent the whole 8 days, he could pick out animals from an amazing distance and tried his very hardest to make sure we had seen every animal we could on our trip. He was patient with pictures or when we wanted a break and always on time for pickups and drop offs. Although there is no guarantee of what you can see during your trip we ticked every box and were even lucky to see a leopard twice and a lion kill a wildebeest.
All the accommodation was totally suitable for what we needed.
Ad it was all completed with Raphael meeting us at the airport on the way home to hear direct feedback everything was good with the trip , the service from both Raphael and Joseph was first class.
I was worried prior to going , and worried I had done the right thing booking all of this over email and the internet , transferring money from Britain was risky without using a British travel agent – but there was absolutely no issues, so if anyone is worried and wants any reassurance please feel free to drop me a message.

Kids loved the trip and the guide was super!
5/5

Combined Lake Nakuru with the Masai Mara for a four day trip. Raphael did a great job with the organization, responded to all messages quickly, greeted us at the airport on arrival and saw us off at the end of the trip.

While Lake Nakuru was interesting (buffalo, white rhino, Rothschild's Giraffe), given the distance and lack of flamingos we should have taken an extra day at the Masai Mara. That said, the Flamingo Hill Tent Camp was wonderful and the food was great.

The food and hospitality at the Base Camp Explorer Masai Mara was also super and an extra couple of days there would not have been hard to take. The children (10 and 7) really liked the Masai staff who escorted us while about in the evening and the "family" tent was huge and comfortable.

In terms of the safari, we could not have asked for a better guide than Joseph. With 15 years experience he knew all the best spots to find the animals, knew all about them and was able to pass on the information in an interesting and engaging manner (even the kids listened and learned). We saw lions eating (and mating), the wildebeest crossing (with one taken by a croc), a mother leopard and cub, ostrich's doing their mating dance and _________ , lots of cheetah, elephants, etc. All in all a truly great holiday.

If you wanna experience wild, these guys nail it !!
5/5

Am an enthusiastic wild life photographer. Knew nothing about Africa or this tour. But post my trip, i will definitely recommend East Africa Exotic Safari. Got the best guide who knew un and out of the park and wildlife. Mr. Muturi was such a humble person who cared about every penny and time spent. Mr. Manfred ( who assisted President Mr. Obama during his visit - thats what i heard ) and Mr. Samson ( Strong Samson as they call him ) were patient enough to stop as I wanted to click pics. Food - you would luv it. Alfred from wilderness camp will melt your heart.
Over all - The Best holiday in my entire life.

Great experience: Awesome lodge, great driver and many animals!
5/5

Many thanks to Raphael and the whole RA-Exotic-Safaris-Team for a great organized trip! We stayed at the Basecamp Explorer just at the border of the Masai Mara where we were warmly welcomed. The accomodation perfectly blends in with nature while being unbelievable cosy. The food was delicious. The best place to relax after a safari day. Our driver Joseph was great company! He is very experienced spotting animals and we learned a lot about the Masai Mara wild life. We highly recommend it.

Most enjoyable safari with a very experienced tour guide
5/5

The booking process was efficiently handled by EA Exotic Safaris. the tour guide was Joseph who turned out to be incredibly good at spotting animals in the bush. Each of the hotels booked as part of the safari was excellent providing clean and spacious rooms and good food.

Awesome Safari!!
5/5

East africa exotic safaris organized an awesome safari for my family of 6 - for 6 nights. Raphael set us up with a great driver (Anthony) and a great route. The accommodations we stayed at were exactly what we were hoping for (very well reviewed "glamping" tented camps) and the itinerary suggested was very straight forward and inclusive of everything. The itinerary was also specific on exactly where we were staying rather than some companies quotes of ____resort___"or similar". Oh yeah - it was also about 1/2 the price of other quotes we received

Raphael was very adaptable to changes and great to work with via email.

Highly recommended!!

Great safari experiences in Masai Mara and Ol-Pejeta
5/5

We had amazing 3-day safari in Masai Mara with super-guide Joseph. We saw lot´s of animals, for example four of the Big Five. Stayed at Basecamp which was also nice experience as we slept in a tent and that is really the way of experiencing nights of Africa. Didn´t get enough of animals and ordered one more safari day in Oj-Pejeta where we finally completed The Big Five. We can warmly recommend East Africa Safaris. Great customer service and professional work. Thank you for unforgettable experience in Kenya.
