Absolutely fantastic from start to finish!
From our first enquiry email to the end of the safari everything was incredible.
Upon booking Rita was brilliant, she answered my hundreds of questions quickly and clearly as well as giving recommendations for things to do, she was happy to change our itinerary multiple times and give us clear and easy to following pricing, nothing seemed too much trouble.
We chose to do a private safari and was lucky enough to have Rodgers as our guide, who I cannot recommend highly enough, he was absolutely fantastic!
We went to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with him.
At each park he was able to give us an enormous amount of information about how it all works, what’s going on and some history of Kenya which was extremely interesting.
Rodgers went out of his way to ensure we saw all of the big and ugly five as well as a huge amount of other animals, he has brilliant knowledge of every animal and species and was able to answer every question we had.
He was great to chat with, had a great sense of humour and made our overall safari experience absolutely incredible.
Thank you so much to Rita & Rodgers for all your help and for making our safari Honeymoon a truly unforgettable experience!!

Exceptional service from start to finish
Service we received was exceptional - Rita was responsive and happy to send multiple options to craft a perfect and bespoke safari package for us, looking at different options for group/private tours, different accommodation options, driving/flying between national parks to suit our budget. Rita was also flexible to work with other hotels to add a week on in Zanzibar after our safari. We were particularly impressed that she proactively reached out to suggest an alternative accommodation based on recent reviews to ensure we had the best experience. Overall, the level of service far surpassed our local (UK) tour operators who were inflexible in terms of hotels and breaking down the pricing of the trip.
On the safari itself, Rodgers was the best guide we could have asked for! He worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best experience and wasn't satisfied until we had seen all of the big 5! He was friendly, polite, punctual and extremely informative about the animals, locations and more general questions about Kenya and it's people. He also liaised with the hotel (ensuring we had a picnic lunch if necessary) and other operators (boat trip/hot air balloon) for a seamless experience, meaning we did not have to think at all and we could just relax and enjoy our holiday. We were also joined by an intern guide, Brian, who was friendly and knowledgeable and I'm sure will become an excellent guide once he finishes his studies.
10/10 could not have been better!

Expectations exceeded
Our safari was well organized from start to finish, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was our guide, Said. If you’re booking with this company, I highly recommend requesting him specifically he made all the difference.
Said was unbelievably knowledgeable about the parks, the wildlife, and animal behavior. He always knew exactly where to take us and somehow positioned us perfectly for the best sightings. We consistently got out early and ahead of the crowds, which made such a huge difference in the experience.
We traveled at the end of January into early February, and it was the perfect time to go. It’s slower season, but still during the Great Migration meaning wildlife everywhere without the peak-season congestion. We saw an incredible number of animals and avoided the busy corners of high season tourism.
It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and a big part of that was having Said as our guide.

Perfect experience for first time safari
We went on a 3-day safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. We were very lucky to see the Big Five. We definitely felt we got great value for money and the price-quality ratio was excellent. Communication was smooth and messages were answered quickly.
Thank you to Crater Explorer for the excellent trip planning and organization — we are extremely satisfied. Our safari package included a private chef, and the food was outstanding, so special thanks to the chef as well. Our guide was highly professional, and we felt safe throughout the entire trip.

JAMBO JAMBO!!!!
We had an amazing time on our tour! Our guide, Godson, provided a great briefing the day before, ensuring we were well-prepared. The hike to Materuni Falls was enjoyable, and the coffee tour was particularly special. We learned how to roast and grind coffee, and then savored a delicious traditional African lunch. We capped off our day at several wildlife spots, capturing spectacular pictures of us in the wild. We highly recommend this company for an unforgettable tour!

A friendly, well‑organized operator offering smooth planning and a truly memorable safari.
Our safari adventure in Kenya was truly unforgettable — an experience that exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless, magical, and thoughtfully organized. We visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and the iconic Masai Mara, and each destination offered its own unique charm. Amboseli gifted us those postcard‑perfect views of elephants crossing the plains with Mount Kilimanjaro towering behind them. Lake Naivasha was serene and full of life, with hippos lounging in the water and giraffes wandering gracefully nearby. And the Masai Mara… simply breathtaking. We were fortunate to spot big cats, rhinos, and countless other wildlife, making every game drive feel like stepping straight into a nature documentary. Our accommodations were equally impressive. Each lodge had its own personality, offering a perfect blend of comfort, authenticity, and warm hospitality. After long days of exploring, returning to cozy rooms, great amenities, and delicious meals felt like the perfect ending. A heartfelt thank‑you goes to our guide, Duncan, who made the journey extraordinary. His deep knowledge, patience, and genuine passion for wildlife enriched every moment. He always knew where to go, shared fascinating insights, and made us feel completely safe and cared for throughout the trip.

Best in the biz!
Shanjoy were terrific! From the very start they were responsive, helpful and genuinely excited to help plan our dream safari. Rodah was incredibly helpful and did a terrific job crafting our itinerary and making sure we had everything we needed. While on Safari she was checking in to make sure we were safe and everything was going well. Our guides were incredible. Both Steve in Kenya and Isaya in Tanzania were the ultimate professionals. They both led with kindness, respect and genuine love and excitement for the animals and an infectious passion for Safari. We always felt safe, in control and we had a great time with both of them. They were both incredibly knowledgeable about all animals right down to birds, insects and lizards. We learned so much and we saw the 'Big 5' with both guides, with Steve in Kenya and also Isaya in Tanzania. Both had a knack for knowing where to be at the right time and we were spoilt with animal sightings. Not only the 'Big 5' - 4 Rhino's including mother and calf, too many elephants and buffalo to count, large Lion prides including cubs, 4 cheetahs and 3 leopards (2 in one day in the Serengeti!), but we saw so many amazing sights including a Lion hunt, Leopard hunt, newborn Gazelle taking it's first steps, a Buffalo fight right up close with locked horns and a Lion pair mating. A truly unforgettable experience and we have Shanjoy to thank! Highly recommend them!
