A trip of a lifetime
5/5

This was a last minute decision we made to check out the masai mara and after calling and discussing a few tour operators, we decided on expedition kenya safari. They gave us great information that made it easy for us to make a decision within a short amount of time and they were patient since we asked alot of questions. We had a guide by the name of Stanley who was super friendly and entertaining. We felt like we had known each other for a while. Our highlight was when we saw group of lions take down a zebra. We will be back.

Fabulous day trip with Meshack
5/5

We had an extra day in Nairobi and one of our friends recommended Expedition Kenya Safari. Meshack was very pleasant and very helpful in arranging a very exciting day. Although we had to wake up very early so that we could be inside Nairobi National Park by 7 am, it was worth it since we saw a pride of lions hunting! That was the highlight of the day. We shall be back!

FUNtastic Experience!
5/5

Such a fantastic experience I had at the Mara, Expedition Kenya Safari staff arranged everything for me and my friends, from a well laid-out itinerary to the best accommodation and a breathtaking game drive in the vast masai mara picking only the best locations where I could spot the lions I aspired to see. I cant wait for my next safari.

Amazing! The Big 5, customised itinerary, fabulous guide, phenomenal driver, wonderful accommodation
5/5

Nothing was too much trouble right from the planning stage. The itinerary covered all our requests and more. Our guide ensured all things were taken care of. Our driver was incredible at spotting animals as well as driving in all sorts of conditions. Both made us very welcome. Our accommodation was top notch with great meals.
We certainly saw our fair share of animals on the game drives including ALL of the BIG 5!!! We were also lucky enough to see Mount Kilimanjaro without clouds hiding its peak. A truly memorable experience that exceeded all expectations.

Magical trip, well organised, well run, great experience
5/5

My wife and I, along with 2 other close friends, had never been to Africa and were looking for an intimate and personal experience up close with the wildlife. Expedition Kenya Safari exceeded our expectations enormously and gave us the best adventure ever!
Patrick had planned our itinerary perfectly, taking into consideration our specific interests first, as well as making sure we didn't miss any of the major highlights Kenya has to offer. His communication all the way along was first class.
A Flawless trip, with fantastic accommodation throughout, Patrick had it all covered. Even when we had a minor dilemma with our credit card being swallowed by an ATM in outback Kenya, Patrick sorted it immediately and had our card returned within minutes, including ensuring no funds had been accidentally taken.
Our driver and spotter John was superb and got us to incredible vantage points to observe all of the wildlife, including the big 5, in their natural environment. His extensive knowledge of all the wildlife added enormously and gave us the most magical experiences we could have imagined.
Our trip was full of laughs, incredible animals, great experiences and together as a group we simply had the best fun!
Thank you so much Patrick and John for giving us one of the most memorable holidays imaginable.
I have no hesitation in recommending Expedition Kenya Safari to anyone considering a safari in Kenya.
We'll be back for sure!

Amazing service and great lodges!!!!
5/5

Our experience with Expedition Safari was perfect from the first email to get a quote until we were dropped off at the airport. Patrick got back to me quickly from my initial inquiry and was helpful in constructing an itinerary specifically for us. Emails were prompt, thorough, and clearly written including many options for us and links to the specific lodges. I was able to handpick where we stayed with some guidance from Patrick. Prices seemed very fair especially for higher end service and accommodations.

Upon arrival in Kenya, Patrick, Meshack, and Joseph (our driver/guide) met us at the airport. We arrived at 8pm so went immediately to hotel where they helped us check in and get settled. After a nice buffet breakfast at hotel Joseph picked us up and we departed for Amboselli. We had a private tour - just my wife and I escorted by Joseph in a Land Cruiser for the week. We visited Amboselli, Lake Nakuru, and Maasi Mara. Despite not being during the migration we were able to see tons of animals. We saw 4 of the Big 5 during our safari only missing the leopard. Saw many lions, rhinos, elephants, buffalo along with cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, and antelope. We really had a wonderful experience. Joseph was an unbelievable guide with 18 years of experience. Booking was a seamless process and fully customizable. The lodges and food provided were high end. As a seasoned traveler I have rarely had such a good experience and was very pleased with Expedition Safari. Our final day was my wife's birthday and they arranged a special dinner along with a cake for my wife before dropping is at the airport for our red eye flight. Truly door to door service. Have already recommended Expedition Safari to some of our friends interested in doing their first safari.

Unforgettable game viewing
5/5

Our wildebeest migration safari at Masai Mara was an experience that went above our expectations. It was our first time wanting to travel to Kenya and we wanted a safari experience that would be unforgettable based on our budget. Patrick recommended a 3 day Masai Mara safari that would coincide with the annual wildebeest migration. We had alot of questions and questions since they are a fairly new company but we decided to give them a chance. We were warmly and happily recieved in Kenya and we were treated like family during our entire stay. We stayed at the Mara Serena and were blown away by the level of comfort and friendliness of the entire staff.. Smiles were handed out generously! Major highlight of the safari was the river crossing. It looked way more dramatic and exciting that what we had seen on TV. The only thing we did not like were the large amount of vehicles in the park. Too many safari vehicles however our driver Ken always found us a great spot to take pictures.

Unforgettable Moments
5/5

All aspects were excellent. We had 7 days in Kenya and spent it visiting the Amboseli, Samburu and Masai Mara. We were welcomed warmly after the long flight and immediately felt at home. Food was fantastic at the Serena Lodges we stayed. We saw the big five and our favorite were the lions. The staff is great and always helpful. We are thankful to our safari guide Moses for making this long awaited safari a success beyond our expectations. KUDOS

An African Dream Come True...
5/5


I had always wanted to make this Africa trip for such a long time and finally my dream came true just this last May. The trip organized by Expedition Kenya Safari was extraordinary. It had everything I expected and more. Selecting Expedition Kenya Safari was the best decision we made.

Patrick, the safari planner was as excited about our trip as we were. He patiently worked with us answering all our safari questions and providing great information that helped us plan our safari. Best of all was the quick and timely manner that Patrick responded to all our emails and phone communications.

Meshack, our marvelous guide, greeted us at the airport and guided us through the whole trip. He was not only knowledgeable about animals and native customs he was patient while always delighting us with a great sense of humor. This was especially helpful given the roads in Kenya.

Meshack was able to find the animals for us and gave us great photo opportunities. He was not only our guide but our mentor and we are very grateful to him for introducing his country and sharing it with us.

All of our accommodations were more beautiful and comfortable than we expected, each with it’s own flavor and lush. Even, one tented camp site in the Maasai Mara was the most luxurious tent I have ever stayed in but at the same time so atmospheric for being in the middle of a national game reserve.

Not only did we experience beautiful sunsets and game drives but could choose optional visits to tribal villages where the Samburu, Turkana and Maasai performed native rituals and dances for us.

Another option was a gorgeous hot air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara culminating with a Champagne breakfast.

I highly recommend Expedition Kenya Safari to anyone even contemplating an African Safari.

Thank you Patrick and Meshack for helping me realize my fantasy, the African Dream.

Sam.
