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.

Zachary is an incredible safari guide, ask for him.
We got paired with Zachary as our driver and safari guide, and let me say that the entire trip we were thanking our luck that we had Zachary as our guide. He is an veteran guide, expert driver, and a genuinely amazing human being.
The entire trip, we felt taken care of. Zachary always went the extra effort to make sure we felt like our safari was a success. It always seemed like he was just as excited about seeing the animals as we were, which was cool that you can tell he enjoys his job. Additionally, it is clear he is a very experienced guide as he knew essentially every question we had off the top of his head.
Beyond knowing facts, a very important part of guiding is being at the right place at the right time. This is something that Zachary seemed to have a near superhuman ability to do. Of course all of the guides work together, but often Zachary was a leader rather than just a follower.
We did a mid-range safari and all lodging and food was good. We did 2 days Maasai Mara, 1 day Nakuru, 1 day Naivasha, and 2 days Amboseli. As a first Safari, we were glad to see the variety of parks and landscapes in Kenya. In the future I would consider spending more time in Maasai Mara due to the insane density of animals there. We saw the big 5 in just one day!
Overall Explorers Wild Adventures had good communication with us prior to the safari. I recommend using them and specifically asking for Zachary! You will be happy you did.

Efficient,great communication and flexible
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with Explorers Wild Adventures in the Masai Mara and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a Kenya safari.
From the beginning, the whole experience was very well organised and everything went smoothly. The Masai Mara was absolutely breathtaking, and we were fortunate enough to see so much wildlife, but what really made our trip special was our driver and guide, David.
David was fantastic from start to finish. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, the park and the local area, and his experience was obvious. He seemed to have an incredible ability to spot wildlife that we would have completely missed ourselves!
He was also a brilliant driver, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the game drives, even on some of the rougher tracks. He was patient, friendly and always focused on making sure we had the best possible experience.
David genuinely went above and beyond for us, and some of the wildlife encounters he helped us experience are memories we will never forget. He wasn't just our driver — he really helped make the whole safari feel special.
A huge thank you to Explorers Wild Adventures team and especially to David for giving us such an unforgettable experience. We couldn't recommend them highly enough, and if you get the opportunity to have David as your guide, you are in very good hands!
We hope to return to Kenya one day, and we would definitely choose Explorers Wild Adventures again. 🦁🐘🦒🇰🇪

7 days Private tour - Amboseli, Maasai Mara and Lake
We had an excellent experience with the Explorer Wild Adventure from beginning to end. I booked them based on a friend review and online discussion. But they won when their Communication was always fast and clear, all payments worked exactly as agreed, and they were so helpful with everything and flexible, they organized our internal flights, transfers, lodges, and logistics throughout Kenya without any problems outside of a package. Tailoring to us. We did a seven-day safari, with two days in Amboseli staying at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge and four days in the Masai Mara staying at Mara Serena Safari Lodge, plus the travel between the two areas by plane! Everything was very well organized, and whenever we wanted to adjust or add something, they were flexible and helped make it happen in a second.
The guides were the highlight of everything: Peter and our “new Brother” Zachary were absolutely amazing guides. They were knowledgeable, patient, flexible, funny, and very good at getting us to the right places at the right time. They quickly understood that we did not want only to drive around taking photos and crossing animals of a list. We wanted to understand the landscapes, the people, the wildlife, and how the parks and animals are managed. At the same time, they were always scanning for animals, spotting things we would never have seen ourselves, and making sure we did not miss important experiences.
After spending so much time with them, it became much more than a normal guide-client relationship. We talked, explored, laughed, changed plans, took detours, and by the end of the trip we honestly felt like we were saying goodbye to friends. We actually missed them afterward. Kenya is also an amazing place ( one of the top places on the planet) but there is a need of support to get around and don’t lose time! Explorer and the guides did that seamless!
We were incredibly lucky with the wildlife. We saw all of the Big Five in the first days, many babies of all species (including a baby rhino ( thank you Zach!)— which my wife absolutely loved — and on our last day in the Masai Mara we witnessed the wildebeest crossing the river. Seeing the Great Migration crossing had been a lifelong dream for me, so that was an unforgettable way to finish the safari and Zach make all he could between heaven and hell to put us on the best spot!
What impressed us just as much was how much the company helped us outside the normal safari experience. At one point, we forgot one of our cell phones on a bush plane. This had nothing to do with their responsibility, but they spent most of a day figuring out where the phone was, coordinating with different people, and somehow getting it back to us in the middle of the Masai Mara.
Both Serena lodges were also excellent and very well located for the experience. Amboseli Serena was a great base for exploring Amboseli and its landscapes, and Mara Serena was perfectly positioned for the Masai Mara and Mara Triangle. We did the Maasai Village tour with the company and was great to be there just us! Also the boat tour was great. However the night safari with the lodge was not as fun because there was too much disturbance of the animals and you almost can not see anything besides the lantern. They did not use yellow or red lights that would not disturb the fauna around. Also the walking safari at the lake was nice to walk around but a very different experience in a close environment and not felt natural after 7 days in the wilderness!
We went to Kenya expecting an amazing safari, and we got much more than that. The organization was excellent, the guides were exceptional, and the experience felt personal from beginning to end.
We would travel with them again without hesitation.

Excellent, varied safari trip!
We booked a private safari visiting four parks from Explorers Wild Adventures. It was a great experience. Our guide and driver Zachary was reliable, diligent and extremely well-informed! All elements of the trip went like clockwork, we got to see all the big five and plenty more. Lots of valuable memories and an unforgettable safari adventure!

Unforgettable experience, thanks to our incredible guide, David
We booked a 6-day Kenya safari through Explorers Wild Adventures and it exceeded every expectation. Our guide, David, was phenomenal. His 'eagle eyes' spotted all the hidden gems for us that we completely missed, and his deep knowledge of animal behavior made every game drive an educational adventure. Beyond being a master tracker, David was warm, professional, and kept us laughing the whole time. We managed to see the Big Five and so much more. The communication from the tour operator before the trip was excellent. The 4x4 vehicle was pristine, comfortable, and always stocked with drinking water. From pickup to lodge transfers, the logistics were executed perfectly. David was incredibly respectful of the wildlife, and always positioning the vehicle perfectly for photography. Highly recommended.

Perfect
The safari was absolutely wonderful. It was also less expensive than many other options we had received quotes from. All the lodges were beautiful, and our guide, Zach, was fantastic.
Everything was punctual and well organized, and above all, they were always incredibly quick to respond via WhatsApp.
The only thing I would mention is that, during our 6-day safari, we spent one day at Lake Naivasha, which perhaps could have been avoided so that we could have gone directly to Amboseli. However, we think they included it to break up the journey and make it less tiring, considering the many hours of driving between Lake Nakuru and Amboseli.
Despite that, I would give the whole experience a 10/10. Everything was perfect! ❤️

Very good local agency for your safari
I am very satisfied with Explorer Wild Adventures. Discussions with Johann to prepare for the safari were easy, and he took all our requests into account. The price was also lower than with agencies in our country. That's why I chose Explorer Wild Adventures.
After a week-long safari with Georges, I highly recommend him for his exceptional professionalism.
Georges was punctual and completely reliable throughout our stay.
His driving was safe, smooth, and efficient, even on the sometimes challenging tracks in the reserves.
We always felt safe with him.
He also has excellent knowledge of wildlife and its environment.
His experience allows him to spot animals and share a wealth of interesting information about them.
He also knows how to adapt the itinerary and schedule to make the most of the different stages of the safari.
Always available, attentive, and professional, he greatly contributed to the success of our trip.
We thoroughly enjoyed the week we spent with him. I therefore recommend Georges without hesitation to anyone wishing to fully enjoy their safari.
The "mid-range" accommodations I chose matched the description perfectly.
I recommend

Breathtaking wildlife at a fair price
We booked a six-day safari with Explorers Wild Adventures for July 2026, covering the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli Park. From the very first moment of contact, communication with Johann and his company was highly reliable, professional, and transparent. When one of the mid-range lodges didn't quite suit our preferences, a solution was found without any hassle.
The tour itself, taking us through various national parks, offered incredible insights into Kenya's diverse wildlife. We would particularly like to highlight our guide, David, who shared fascinating information about the wildlife, nature, and local people. He was always friendly, communicative, and extremely helpful - we really enjoyed our time with him!
All in all, we can highly recommend Explorers Wild Adventures as a tour operator; the communication and value for money were unbeatable.
