Exceptional attention to detail, fabulous experiences and truly excellent guides.
5/5

We chose Explorers Wild Adventures after sifting through what felt like hundreds of options on the internet. We were primarily looking for value for money, but as Safari virgins, we were also very interested in getting a varied experience. As we're both into our 60's we were very interested in comfort, both on the road, and at the hotels/lodges. We booked and paid after a number of discussions with Johann, who was excellent in his communication and advice, and were left feeling very confident that he understood our requirements. The day of the flight out to Nairobi, literally, we had to change our plans and catch a flight two days later, and this is where Johann shone. In the space of 4 hours, Johann had re-arranged our entire safari at almost no additional cost (we had to pay again for our park entries due to the date changes) and we were back on track. Our thanks go out to Johann and his team in Nairobi.
We were met at our hotel near Jomo Kenyatta Airport (The Argyle Grand - an excellent choice for one night) by David, our guide for the next 6 days. Right from the very start, David made us feel welcome, valued and comfortable. His knowledge of the parks, the wildlife and the local peoples is second to none. Kenyan roads are quite an interesting concept, and although we were whisked from one place to the next, at no point did we feel un-safe or vulnerable. He regularly went over and above, often negotiating with park rangers to be allowed to access restricted areas to get a great photo of a cheetah or leopard, and when it went wrong (double puncture!) he arranged for another guide to take us out on a game drive whilst he arranged for the tyre repairs. It's made us realise that the guide is what makes or breaks a safari, and David made ours. If we return to Kenya, and that's very likely if finances allow, we would only do so if David were able to look after us again. Massive shout out to David, the best driver in Kenya!

5/5

The safari covered Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Our driver Zackary was excellent and really knowledgeable. The safari jeep was very comfortable and we were very well looked after for the 6 days.
Pre booking the communication was great with the company and the safari really good value for money.
It was a trip and memory of a lifetime.
Thank you Explorers Wild Adventures for making it possible!

Amazing Safari Adventure!
5/5

Amazing experience! Our guide David picked us up from Nairobi and 6 days flew by in a blink of an eye. Game drives were so exciting and David tried really hard to show us as many animals as possible. We did get to see the Big Five and more! One of the highlights was hot air baloon to catch the sunrise and see animals run in the wild. We want to thank David and the company for this amazing adventure!! I would highly recommend to anyone!

5/5

Wonderful safari, everything was well organized. The communication with Explorers Wild Adventures was easy and straight forward. The lodges we picked looked like the pictures and descriptions. Our guide, Zachary, really took the time to give us the full experience with every safari drive. He was amazing at spotting and very knowledgable about the animals and also about birds, much to the delight of my husband who is getting into birding.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Safari Experience with Explorers Wild Adventures!
5/5

From start to finish, everything with Explorers Wild Adventures was truly top notch. Even during the planning stage, Johann was incredibly responsive and helpful over WhatsApp, patiently answering all my questions and helping me design the perfect safari that matched exactly what I was looking for. His guidance made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

Once the trip began, the excellence continued at every step. The itinerary was perfectly thought out, balancing adventure, wildlife viewing, and relaxation. The hotels and lodges selected were fantastic—comfortable, beautiful, and ideally located.

A special shout-out goes to David, our guide, who was absolutely amazing. His knowledge, professionalism, and passion for wildlife made the safari unforgettable. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience and never missed an opportunity to spot incredible animals.

Overall, this was an exceptional safari experience, and I couldn’t recommend Explorers Wild Adventures more highly. If you’re looking for a well-organized, high-quality, and unforgettable safari, this is the company to choose!

Excellent client oriented company
5/5

We had an amazing 6-day safari in Kenya through Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara. The itinerary was very well planned, timing in the parks was excellent, and we were lucky to see all of the Big Five.

A special mention to our driver, David — he never disappoints. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and truly passionate about his job. His motivation to show us as much wildlife as possible made a huge difference. He also spoke very highly of his company and management, and it was clear that good working conditions and mutual respect are reflected in the quality of the experience.

Accommodation was overall very satisfactory. Only the last hotel did not fully meet our expectations in terms of cleanliness, and the constant requests for tips felt uncomfortable. Once mentioned, David immediately handled the situation.

Thank you for a great itinerary and excellent execution. We will definitely recommend your company to anyone traveling to Kenya.

Amazing Experience
5/5

We went on safari in Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara. From beginning to end, it was an incredible experience, exceeding all expectations. Zachary was our guide; he was always a great guy, friendly, providing information, and searching for and finding animals that only he could see. I highly recommend Explorer Wild Adventures; they delivered on everything promised. It was an unforgettable and amazing experience.
