Unique experience - thanks to Explorers Wild Adventures!
5/5

Our safari with Explorers Wild Adventures was a unique experience. The coordination in the planning was excellent, Johann suggested a great tour for us and responded specifically to our plans by organizing a train ticket to Mombasa with a shuttle to our beach hotel afterwards. Even before departure, we were able to assure ourselves once again that we had made a good choice: at the counter I noticed that I had forgotten to apply for the eTA. What normally takes up to 3 days was accelerated to 1.5 hours by Johann and his visa team with good contacts, so that we were still able to make our flight - thanks again for that!

When we arrived at the airport in Nairobi, Bernard welcomed us and accompanied us for the 6 day tour through the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Park. On the drive through the country he told us a lot about life and culture in Kenya and we got along brilliantly. He has often demonstrated his driving skills on the slopes and thanks to his friendly nature and good networking with locals and other drivers, he has always been able to offer us the best experiences. The entire animal world: lions and elephants that passed directly in front of the van, rhinos, hippos... but also the impressive flora, Bernard always knew the answers to our questions thanks to his many years of experience.

We also really liked the selection of lodges. We would like to highlight the “Mara Empiris” which gave us a very familiar welcome and impressed us with typical local dishes. We visited the Masai village with the Masai "Moniku", who works in the Lodge, and were able to get an idea of ​​traditional life there.

In short: we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Bernard, who grew on us with his always friendly and open nature, and we couldn't have imagined a better company than Explorers Wild Adventures, whose team fulfilled all of our wishes.

5/5

Our daughter, 1.5years old , came with us in this amazing adventure. She had so much fun with the giraffes, elephants, zebras, the lions, etc... everything was very safe, including the optional boat ride for seeing hippos.

Our adventure had many highlights, but one of them was definitely our guide . Mr Jeoffrey was super kind with our baby and with our needs. We have stopped to get diapers almond the way and we were also given family accomodation in all Locations. There was always enough of sleep and enough of adventure.

We definitely recommend this tour. For us with a little child 6 days of adventure are enough. In addition to this experience, we have also spent 1 day in Nairobi (national park, giraffes, baby elephants) and additional 5 days in Mombasa. The train connection was very easy and comfortable.

Overall the the habitants of Kenya are some of the most friendly people out there.
Definitely a must in the journey for discovering Africa!

Amazing!! Amazing!!
5/5

This trip was seamless from planning it to the return home. I went on a similar trip 25 years ago and thought nothing could beat that trip. I couldn’t believe how much this one did. Zachary was a phenomenal driver, animal spotter, educator and professional. We saw the Big 5 by day 2! He met every need, exceeded all expectations and made this trip a memory of a lifetime! I will recommend this company to anyone who wants an amazing experience and trip they will never forget. Not one thing I would do differently. Thank you for making this so special!

Amazing Experience
5/5

I booked this trip with Explorers Wild Adventures based on their positive Internet reviews. After all, that is all we can rely on as travelers unless we know the company. The communications pre-booking and pre trip were great. All questions were answered timely. When we arrived in Kenya, we were met by the company representative, Joseph. He was on time, spoke good English and very professional. He introduced us to our guide, David, who would be with us the entire week. This was a private safari for my 13 year old and myself. David was very accommodating, professional, punctual. His English was good and he was very knowledgable about Kenya and the wildlife we saw. He always looked out for our safety and comfort. It was an amazing week and worth every penny.

5/5

Never been to Africa? No worries! You are in great hands with this tour company!! This was a trip of a lifetime! Explorer’s Wild Adventures delivered in every possible way. David was our guide and from the moment he picked us up at our hotel the adventure began. One of the very first things he told us was to feel free to ask him about anything- culture, people, politics, education, history- in addition to any questions we might have about the places we would visit and the animals we would see. He was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much about Kenya- in addition to detailed information on every animal, bird and plant we encountered on the tour. We selected to take the private option- which was well worth the money as we were able to move freely around the Landcruiser and see animals on both sides of the vehicle. We were also able to make requests, which David happily complied with, during our tour. Each accommodation was more beautiful than the one before it. I’ve watched safari shows on tv (Safari Brothers on Nat Geo) and our experience with David beat every episode! We saw every animal except the leopard and the elusive black rhino at distances of less than 10-15 feet. We had to put the binoculars down because we were too close to need them!! The only thing that we would do differently is NOT book the Lake boat ride- it was $50.00 (USD) per person and the boat was barely more than a very old, wide canoe. It ended up being about 15-20 minutes on the lake and then a walk where we saw animals that we had already seen due to David’s expertise. That excursion should be no more than $20.00 (USD) pp AT MOST. It was the only disappointment of our trip. We recommend this tour company and our guide, David, to everyone! Our children are already looking into booking their own trips!!

The tour operator brings us a vibrant life and scenery of Kenya in an efficient way.
5/5

Explorers Wild Adventures is such a good travel agency and George is such a good tour guide. Together they bring a marvelous animal watching trip of Kenya to us.
Explorers Wild Adventures first replied to our request and designed the trip exactly as what we need. The overall experience is beyond our expectations. They have a good taste in terms of hotel options. They responded quickly when emergency appears. They assigned Mr George as our tour guide. Mr George is very experienced and responsible. He drove skillfully under complex road conditions like in National Parks. He knew where to see the must-see animals and shared his knowledge about different animals. His trip was very efficient that he could drive less hours than those young drivers but brought us to more amazing animal-watching experience and also all of us could spend more time to rest and to enjoy the beautiful view from the hotels. We highly recommended Mr George to be your tour guide.

We had great communication with the tour throughout the booking process. From hotel pickup, throughout the tour to drop off was done without any complications. Our driver/guide (David) was absolutely the best. Would recommend the tour operator to anyone interested in visiting Kenya!!

We had an excellent time and were well looked after on this adventure.
5/5

We had an excellent 4 day, 3 night adventure in the Masai Mara and Nakuru national parks. We were happy to have paid the extra money for a private tour and the 4x4 vehicle was well worth the extra cost. We saw all the things we wanted to see, and got some beautiful photos and had all positive experiences.

Our safari guide and drive Zack was excellent and really helped make our trip memorable. He was 100% on our program and we felt like he added a ton of value to our experience. His knowledge of Masai Mara, but also how to find animals and where to go at what times of day was invaluable. We were the first folks to see things so often, it was outstanding.

We also paid extra to stay in accommodation inside the park boundaries and felt that was money well spent. The company communicated clearly using WhatsApp and our trip was excellent.
