Absolutely incredible safari experience with an amazing guide
My friend and I did a 6 night, 7 day safari through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli with Explorers Wild Adventures and we had an amazing experience. All of our interactions with Explorers Wild Adventures went very smoothly and the logistics were all handled very well by them. We did their "mid-tier" lodging package and each lodge we stayed in was very nice and had good food. The price was also less than similar safaris with other companies.
The true highlight of our experience was our guide Zachary. He is a very kind, thoughtful, and caring person, and he is extremely talented and experienced at his craft. He has been guiding for 15+ years and his experience was palpable, he consistently spotted animals we never would have found on our own, and often saw animals that other guides had just driven by without seeing. He was very knowledgeable about all of the animals we saw, he knew the answers to our many questions about the animals and ecology off the top of his head, and his English was very good. He was also very good at identifying birds, which not all safari guides are able to do. He was good at positioning the Land Cruiser so we could get great photos. We learned so much from him and saw far more animals than we'd expected, including seeing the "Big 5" plus many more animals all in one day at Masai Mara. Zachary is a true master of his craft as a safari guide.
Each park we visited was very different and it was nice to see the variety of locations throughout Kenya, but if I did it again I would spend additional time at Masai Mara, the density of animals there is far greater than any other park we visited.
I would highly recommend Explorer's Wild Adventures for a smooth and unforgettable safari experience, and ask to work with Zachary if he's available.
