Exceptional package and service!
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!!

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

The entire experience was handled professionally with our enjoyment in mind.
5/5

There appear to be a great many similar tour operators in the area but we could see that EWA was a cut above the others. From office operations and reservations to the highly competent and informative tour guide, we have nothing but praise for this operation. We did a 5 day/6night tour and if we were to do it again, we would opt for more days in fewer localities in order to avoid long drives, but this is a matter of personal preference.

They genuinely wanted us to have an amazing safari experience!
5/5

If you are looking to book a safari tour in Kenya, I highly recommend Explorers Wild Adventures. There are so many things to love about them. First, it was really easy to communicate with them. Their website includes an email address and an option to contact them via Whatsapp number. I started communicating with them via email but as I started to have more questions, I switched to Whatsapp so that we would have longer and more real-time chat conversations.

They were also pretty flexible with our itinerary, making adjustments either at our request or for our benefit. We often stayed out on our game drives longer than planned, sometimes even up to an hour later, which maximized our safari experience and allowed us to see more animals. Staying out later than planned allowed us to see the rare striped hyena in Samburu! Maximizing our game drives also allowed us to see the Big Five!

They also helped my family get our electronic Travel Authorisations (eTA) to Kenya quickly. I made the mistake of applying for our eTAs very late and I was worried we wouldn't get it on time. Johann, my contact from Explorers Wild Adventures asked for our reference numbers so that he could try and do something about it. Very soon after I did, I started receiving eTA approval notifications in my email.

Finally, I have to give massive props to, and thank, our guide and driver Zachary who was truly awesome. I was continually in awe at how he managed to spot animals that were camouflaged in the trees or behind tall grass or bushes while he was driving. I also have no idea how he knew how to find his way around the game reserves, driving along unmarked and winding paths in search of wildlife without the benefit of GPS and never getting lost. He knew a lot about the animals we saw and he would tell us their names and share information about them. I also felt that he genuinely wanted us to have a great safari adventure and see as many animals as we could.

It was really easy dealing with Explorers Wild Adventures and their packages are more affordable compared to most of the other ones I saw. They really made sure we had an incredible adventure. If you are looking to book a safari tour in Kenya, I highly recommend them!

Perfectly Organized Safari with Outstanding Team
5/5

We just got back from a 7-day safari with Explorers and the experience has been nothing short of fascinating. From start to finish, everything was meticulously arranged and the itinerary allowed us to explore the best of Kenya’s breathtaking wildlife. Every day brought new highlights, from sunrise game drives in the Masai Mara to the serene beauty of Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the majestic views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli.

Communication with Johann was top-notch. He was incredibly responsive, reliable and informative throughout the entire planning process and even during the trip. Whether it was answering our many questions or adjusting small details along the way, Johann was always available and willing to help. You can tell he is highly experienced and genuinely passionate about ensuring we have the best safari experience possible.

The selection of lodges was absolutely perfect, each one offering unique charm, comfort and excellent service. From tented camps in the heart of the wild to lodges with stunning views and amazing meals, the accommodations exceeded our expectations.

Our driver guide, Henry, was outstanding. His knowledge of the parks, animals and local culture enriched every drive. His calm and confident driving, especially through some challenging terrain, made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. Henry was always patient, enthusiastic and seemed to have a sixth sense for finding wildlife, we spotted the Big Five and so much more all thanks to him.

This was a once in a lifetime trip and we’re incredibly grateful to Explorers Wild for making it so memorable.
