Just Waou !
5/5

We planed our trip to Kenya in March. The communication was fluid, very responsive. Johann Mwale, the sales team leader answered all the questions i could have. Just perfect.
Our guide, Zachary Omondi was amazing. From early in the morning to very late in the afternoon (most of the time, at night !!), he was fully involved, dedicated to our goal...Watch a maximum of animals and enjoying the incredible landscape. He totally deserved his nickname "Zachary MAGIC EYES"...after only 5 days, we feel like he was part of the family :-)
It was a real tear to get back to the airport.

Exceptional!
5/5

My wife and I (from Northampton Uk) travelled at the end of August 2025, and began planning the trip some months earlier.

All the communications with Explorers Wild Adventures were by WhatsApp and very easy. Johann Mwale answered all our questions and guided us through the process. We chose to upgrade to a Toyota Landcruiser instead of a safari van, and elected to have it to ourselves, (I would have driven anyone else mad what with wanting to stop and watch / photograph all sorts of things...).

We had 6 nights, 7 days at - Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Mara.

We were picked up bang on time at our accommodation in the Karen district of Nairobi on the morning of the start of our safari, and we had first to pop into Nairobi to pay the balance of our safari – we paid this by cash in US dollars having had already paid a deposit by transfer earlier.

Our driver / guide George, was great. As well as spotting wildlife, and getting info from other drivers through the radio, he was also a mad keen football fan which gave my wife and him a lot to talk about when the wildlife spotting was done for the day! Sadly though, he is a Manchester United fan...

We opted to stay in the middle range of properties, the Sentrim lodges. The tents / rooms were great, and there was lots of food at each meal. On occasions when we were travelling between lodges, or just out for the whole day, we had a packed lunch which was more than adequate.

A measure of how well organised Explorers Wild is, was evident when our vehicle hit a nasty pothole on the road to the Mara, and needed some minor repairs. George took very quick and very good action to avoid any further clashes with oncoming traffic. I also bumped my head and needed a little treatment at a little Masai clinic, which was great, and the local folks helped enormously.
Explorers Wild Adventures whirred into action and quickly found another vehicle to take us onwards, and for our next safari, and they also found a great new guide and a driver for the day, whilst George stayed with our vehicle and organised repairs.
A truly impressive response! George was back with us a day later with the newly repaired Landcruiser.

Thanks to Explorers Wild Adventures, and to Johann and George for such a great time, and also for their superb, and speedy action in getting everything back on track when our vehicle was temporarily out of action.

Amazing safari experience!
5/5

We did a 8 day safari with Wild Explorers to Masai Mara and Amboseli. The company was easy to communicate via email and WhatsApp and organised our trip seamlessly.
Our guide was David who picked us up from Nairobi airport and stayed with us as our driver and guide the whole time. David was superb, a very skilled driver and animal spotter!! He was tireless, enthusiastic and drove us around all day, to try and get us to witness the migration, a river crossing, big cats and a kill. We would wholeheartedly recommend Wild Explorers and David!!

Amazing experience with Explorers Wild Safari
5/5

We travelled in June 2025 and had an amazing experience with Explorers Wild Safari from start to finish. Johann was very helpful and put together a competitive customised package to meet our requirements. Communication throughout with the company was very clear and hassle-free. The final arrangements were exactly as we were promised and we had a wonderful guide, David, who was very knowledgeable and took efforts to make our whole experience very enjoyable. I have already recommended them to my friends and wouldn't hesistate to use them again!

Very enjoyable Safari Trip
5/5

Our guide over our 6 day safari was excellent. Very professional and knowledgeable and guided us to view all animals in the safari parks. Organisation of the tour was good and everything was delivered as promised. The food was very good overall, some lodges better than others. Our accommodation was very good and we were satisfied overall although some lodges were much nicer than others. The Nakuru Sopa lodge was exceptionally good, however, the Sopa Mara Lodge was dated and could do with renovation. I would not recommend the optional tours and activities as they did not represent good value for money.

5/5

This was one of the best vacation packages we had. The tour driver Sammy was exceptional. He went out of the way to show us wild animals very close as possible in Masai Mara! He was the first one to reach prime spots and he was extremely knowledgeable! Great accommodation, food and exceptional service! Pricing also was extremely reasonable! Highly Recommended operator for Kenya safari vacation!!

6 Days Safari
5/5

Our six-day safari began in Nairobi. Our driver and guide, Peter, picked us up from our hotel and set off on a wonderful adventure. We visited four national parks, covered many kilometers, and saw a vast array of animals and birds. Everything was perfectly organized. Our driver, Peter, was wonderfully prepared, always punctual, and extremely knowledgeable about the animals and their habits. Without going into detail, we highly recommend this company, and especially our guide, Peter! Excellent service and definitely recommended for everyone.

Helpful and informative
5/5

Did the six day trip through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli in mid/late September 2025.

Our driver/guide was David. He has 19 years experience. He was fantastic, knowledgeable and made a true effort to try and get us to see all of the animals especially the ones that take effort to find - lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas. Unfortunately, we did not see leopards on our trip, but not from a lack of trying and one unfortunate incident of another driver accidentally honking their horn and scaring a visible one away. He encourages you to ask any and all questions you have about the wildlife, the country, the people or anything else you are curious about. If we were going to be late getting back to a lodge, he would call them to make them aware so they kept supper out for us or vice versa if we had an early start he would see if the restaurant could maybe open just a little bit earlier so we could get food. There was never a shortage of bottled water to drink.

I started planning this trip back in November 2024. I found this company on Tripadvisor. They were highly rated and all the comments were positive. Johann, their sales team leader, was always prompt and answered all of my emails within 24 hours and the only reason they took that long was due to time differences. He is very prompt, answers all questions, and he even helps makes suggestions on where to stay, why to get a jeep instead of a van, the different payment options, etc.

I would/will use them again if I ever go back to see some new parks or try to find the leopard again. I would also suggest them to any of my family or friends if they were planning a trip.

Unforgettable Honeymoon
5/5

We had an amazing 8-day kenia safari (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli).

We doubted for a long time if we should book with a local party or with an established party in our own country (Netherlands), because local parties are really hard to find. However even before we booked the safari the communication was really fast en good!

After this safari there is no doubt whatsoever! Explorers wild adventures gave us an unforgettable and affordable honeymoon experience. Very good value for your money en trustworthy organisation!

We had our private safari with Zach as guide/driver. In the week time we saw all the amazing animals (even the whole big 5) and had a lot of fun with Zach. He was the perfect guide for us. He was relaxed and really funny (nice jokes), had good knowledge about the places and animals and we felt immediately very comfortable with him.

Anyone who is still doubting, we would advice to book a safari with Explorers Wild Adventures!
