Overall an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
My partner and I booked a 7 day 6 night safari tour in Kenya with Explorer's Wild Adventures starting on the 3rd June and finishing on the 10th.
We were nervous because we'd never booked anything like this before and obviously it's a large amount of money to transfer to a foreign company. Communication could have been a bit more frequent, as we were anxious about being scammed, however we understand that the company was busy, possibly due to limited staffing, so took a bit longer to reply to our emails.
Once we were there however things got much better. Our driver, David, picked us up from our hotel and we were off to the races. Honestly we cannot fault David, he was very passionate, considerate, and make every effort to make sure we were comfortable and looked after.
Our first destination was Lake Nakuru. Our highlights included seeing both a black rhino and a family of white rhinos, a lioness hunting zebra, Rothschild' giraffes up close, and flamingos on the salt water lake.
Then our next two days were spent on the Masai Mara. We were lucky enough to see two cheetah brothers, and pride of lions eating a buffalo, and having a picnic under a tree inside the savannah. David was very much on it with his radio, communicating with other drivers, and getting us to the action. Just a word of warning, the chicken in the packed lunches here and at Amboseli (if with the AA Lodge) was VERY dry, obviously we had our expectations, but still, like DRY.
We then spent one day at Lake Navaisha, where we did a boat trip followed by a nature walk on the island. Our boat driver managed to lure an eagle up close by throwing a fish into the lake so we got to see it hunting. The island is a must-go in our opinion because you can see zebra, giraffe, wildebeast and water buck up close by foot, which is a very different experience to seeing them by car. They are used to people, I was literally within touching distance of a baby zebra.
Our last two days were spent in Amboseli, this is a smaller national park which is actually a good thing because it meant the concentration of animals felt a lot higher compared to the Masai Mara. We saw cheetah's stalking zebras here, but the main stars of the show were the large herds of elephants as they migrate between Mount Kilimanjaro and the swamps, and a very special hippo which comes out during the day and eats non stop, honestly we were within 1-2m of it and it did not care at all!
On the morning of the return journey we took an early morning walk. Again a very unique experience, being out on foot is a nice change to being stuck in the car all day. We got the see the sunrise and Mount Kilimanjaro without any clouds obscuring the peak. Our guide Julius showed us the different tracks of wild animal species and we manage to spot some baby giraffes, which we hadn't manage to see before, as apparently this area specifically was where mother's hide their calves. Just be careful to bring higher heeled boots if possible or just wear sandals without socks like our guide, as there are plants which spit out their seeds, which cling to socks etc, and they are quite thorny!
We finished with a meal of local chicken with chapati, fried vegetables and chicken soup, honestly our best meal of the week, and as per Kenyan customs we gave David a healthy tip for his services, very much well deserved. We got dropped off at our hotel in Nairobi and then he gave us an extra life to the local Galleria to do some shopping.
Overall I highly recommend this trip and experience, and if he's available ask for David. June is some ways is better than July in my opinion as it's not as hot, as there is far less competition for the action (5-15 cars compared to 30+ cars I've been told?). Obviously though the great migration is a special spectacle which only starts late June early July.

Very professional, responsive and accommodating
Great experience which would definitely recommend. We went to Amboseli park in April for two nights and half day and the itinerary was great. Our hotel (on the medium range) was perfect, exactly what we needed it. Martin, our guide, was very knowledgeable, always on time, and with great taste in music!

Well organised with reliable information, good driver, great time.
We had a great Safari experience. We were picked up punctually from our Airbnb in Nairobi and went first to Amboseli. Our driver was great. We saw lots of elephants, some hippos and buffaloes in Amboseli and had a nice view of the Kilimanjaro. Then we drove to Tsavo east and saw giraffes and our absolute highlight was a lion and four lionesses early in the morning. Afterwards we were driven to Diani beach. All worked out well, I can highly recommend this tour operator!

Professionalism
I went on this three-days safari for USD 540 each person, and it was a great experience. The company organized it very well, and we had the best driver possible: Zachary Omondi. He did a great effort on making sure we didn't miss out any animal around. We also enjoyed talking to him. we had such interesting conversations along the way!

Fully trustworthy and professional in all matter. Zackary is THE BEST GUIDE EVER.
The decision to go to Kenya on safari was unexpected and spontaneous. After booking tickets, it was time to find a last-minute safari. The choice was not easy, the budget was very limited and the desire to see several parks was irresistible.
After looking around on the internet, we found safaribookings.com where, after looking at various safari options and reading various offers, we chose the cheapest one, despite several reviews that could cause uncertainty, especially that the price for a 6-day private safari with mid-range + jeep option was not cheap for us.
After querying 2 operators through safaribookings, we chose Explorers Wild Adventures and it was a excellent choice.
After receiving the offer and contact on Whatsapp and a series of questions bothering us from the beginning, we had very good contact and all doubts were explained to us.
We were greeted at the airport by our Guide Zackary.
From the first meeting he seemed very nice and helpful.
We chose a private safari because of our passion for nature photography. All questions about the car and its photo capabilities were explained and fully satisfied us. Photography is not our job but our passion. If you are looking for a typical photographic safari, there will soon be a car better prepared for this purpose. You have to find out.
remember if Yourwat took good shot - only privet tour will give You such freedom of choices stay on place for long time or keep going.
Everything that was on offer coincided 100% with the offer. Both the accommodation and their quality and meals, the route and the order of visited parks.
All big 5 - You have great chance but remember BIG 4 - for 100% - we didn't saw Leopard but for the first time Your brain and camera will blow up.
Bird lovers, they must to go to Africa - plenty od spices allover.
Payment was done 20% by link to Agent - there was no problem all went smooth.
If You want to book flight ticket to Kenia from Keniairways - You probably will stuck o 3DS payment when You pay by debit/credit card - just choose as payment method PayPal without no fee.
Zackary informed us about the possibility of visiting the Maasai Village, a balloon flight and a boat trip on Lake Naivasha for an additional fee. These attractions were for volunteers and were not obligatory.
To sum up, we sincerely recommend Explorers Wild Adventures as a Safari organizer. Our Guide Zackary is worth recommending to all lovers of wild nature. Zackary has a huge knowledge of the parks he visits, he knows where to look for animals for photography fans, he will be a great help in choosing such a setting that your shots are the best in the given situation. Communication in English is not a barrier Zackary speaks English very well.
If I had to go on a safari again, I choose Explorers Wild Adventurers and Zackary as a guide. Zackary became our friend from the first day, you can rely on him in every matter. He is a kind and smiling person who will answer all questions related to his Country and Safari.
After the best adventure in life, it was time to relax and here too the organizer was helpful in booking tickets for the train to Mombasa and back.
Thank you, it was a wonderful, unforgettable time. See You again Zackary.

Great safari at the Masai Mara
We had a great experience with the company in the Masai Mara for 2 nights, 3 days. Our driver Sammy was very kind and good at navigating the park. I have used this company for several safaris and they have always been very reliable, offering competitive prices. They are also responsive on WhatsApp.
