Excellent!
I was impressed with the prompt communication with Peter to organize the logistics of the trip. He was able to answer any questions.
Our driver, John was amazing! He communicated beforehand and was time conscious the whole time. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the surrounding area, because of John we were able to see so many animals and we truly enjoyed our time. The hotel (Zebra Plains Camp) was also very clean and the employees were helpful and friendly. The food was on point!
We would definitely recommend this company to our friends and family!

Nairobi National Park safari
The customer service was the best, Jonathan is the best tour guide around. Our trip to the national park was amazing, Jonathan knows the best places within the park and is quite friendly. The vehicle was spacious and social distancing measures were enforced. I would heavily recommend Explorer Kenya Safaris Ltd.

Always a pleasure
Skywide organised and coordinated one of my best trips yet. They were excellent with communication, payments and follow up. Further, their recommendation for accommodation was perfect as was the wonderful tour guide, Joseph Wangombe who they provided. Joseph made sure we enjoyed the full safari experience (leopard sighting included!) and went out of his way to accommodate our special requests. We couldn't have been happier.
This trip certainly exceeded expectation. Looking forward to working with them again.

Awesome, organisation was perfect!
We booked 3 days/2 nights and had a great time. We can only recommend the tour. We particularly liked the communication with the organizer. We were picked up from the airport and brought back again and stayed in a very good hotel for one night before and after the safari. We didn't expect that. We heard from other safari participants who booked through another agency that they had very bad hotels or had to pay $ 50 to upgrade.
The safari itself was very nice. The catering was impressive. There were always full warm meals that were very good. We felt very comfortable because everything was really taken care of.
We saw a lot of exotic animals and got great photos and videos.
We can recommend the tour and especially this provider to everyone.

This experience was wonderful
Bobby tours was very accommodating throughout the trip. The drivers/guides are very helpful and passionate about their job. Also, they are able to spot animals from a great distance. My safari trip definitely exceeded my expectations.

Absolutely fantastic
This is the second time we have used Explorer Kenya and on both trips we have not been disappointed. Rather than taking one of their package tours we opted to arrange our own accommodation and itinerary, and simply asked for the services of a guide/driver and an all terrain vehicle for a week.
Robert, who runs/?owns the business is highly reliable, flexible and a good communicator so it was extremely easy to arrange our trips by email and have them confirmed prior to entering the country.
Both trips included three or four nights in the Maasai Mara staying at Julia’s River Camp, which is a great mid-budget camp, on the banks of the Talek River within the park itself. There is nothing too much trouble for the staff there to ensure your comfort, and I would thoroughly recommend a visit there.
Our driver on safari has always been Dan Kim. Not only is he an excellent driver; calm, unflappable and very conscious of his clients comfort over some of worlds biggest potholes and the most challenging traffic jams around Nairobi, but he is also a fantastic guide / bodyguard / translator and ultimately friend. My daughters were so impressed with his encyclopaedic knowledge of Kenya’s flora, fauna, people’s and their cultures that they desperately tried to find questions he was unable to answer - they failed! Dan has a very pleasant and unassuming personality and was always prompt, courteous, smiling and a great travelling companion. If you need a guide I would unreservedly recommend him.
With thanks to Dan we saw all the animals and birds we could have dreamed of, and learnt so much more about their habits, lives (and deaths!)
Kenya is a land of contrasts - geographically, climatically, culturally and economically. It’s was therefore more than just interesting to travel to a steamy Kisumu on Lake Victoria, up-to the fresh cool Highlands of the Mau and down to the lakes of the Rift Valley. It was really an unforgettable trip.
A quick word about COVID:
1. Need a negative PCR COVID test 96 hrs prior to entry. 2 Fill in Travellers Health Surveillance online form and obtain QR code
VERY impressive precautionary measures everywhere in Kenya - temperature, mask and hand washing before entering any building.

Best tour I have experienced
The service was more than perfect. Mr. Msafiri and Francis made our trip so memorable that I strongly recommend to anyone who wants to have an amazing safari trip
It was a last minute plan and he managed to arrange our trip in less than a day with no hassle and very convenient for us
I will definitely do it again and only with eyes on serengeti because they are the best and they give the best service

7 night/8 day Lemosho Kilimanjaro
We feel so fortunate to have found Crater Explorer Tours And Safaris. We arrived in Arusha with plans to both climb Mt Kilimanjaro and do a safari. We interviewed several tour organizations and opted to go with Crater because of the confidence we felt in their representative Emanuel. He was professional, attentive and answered all our myriad questions.
We had a magical adventure. The crew that took us on our Kilimanjaro climb was fabulous. I’m not sure how it could have been better. Our guide, the chef and the porters were wonderful. They were fun. They were professional and surpassed all our expectations. Every time we arrived at camp, our tent was set up complete with covered alcove with table and chairs. Hot drinks and a snack were served straight away. Such a great way to end a big hike. Hot water for washing came next followed by the main meal. Speaking of food - we bought a bunch of snacks prior to leaving anticipating wanting to have something to snack on while hiking. We never got into it as they fed us remarkably well. Too well almost. There was always so much good food we feared putting weight on during the climb!
I would highly recommend Crater Explorer Tours And Safaris for all your adventurous needs in Tanzania. 5 Star for sure!

Excellent
Thank you very much for the safari. Especially to Robert for his help in organizing and for solving additional questions.
Great organization. Very friendly and helpful staff.
It's a pity that it was only 2 days should have to take a safari for at least 3 days.
Highly recommend.
