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!
