The company made it so easy for us, from our first point of contact to confirming our final arrangements we encountered no problems. They were excellent....
Highly recommended.

There were too many high points to be able to select just one, but I would have to say that the amount of wildlife seen was generally amazing!

So many aspects were marvellous, it’s difficult to narrow them down. The Kenyan people, dramatic African scenery, our wonderful guide, driver and cook, the wildlife, visits to schools and projects. An eye-opening, vivid, unforgettable experience.

Going to the Masai & Samburu villages and meeting the local people and seeing how they live, and also seeing the "big five".I also enjoyed the differences between the environments in the Masai Mara and the Aberdares.

Fantastic. A busy week but some outstanding insights into the many people and landscapes that make up this fascinating country. The lions, elephants and cheetahs are but a tiny part of what Kenya's all about and this trip really helps you appreciate that.

When we descended into the rift valley, we came across a family of nine Giraffes. I had not been to Africa before, and this was the moment that it sunk in what I was about to experience.

Meeting the Massai people in there villages and being able to talk with them was both confronting of our values and instructive as well as fun to be taught to throw a spear by a Warrior!

The whole African landscape is immense and the very many aspects of Kenyan life seen from the road are interesting and challenging; all of this was enjoyable.

Five lions fan out in the long grass, stalking a cluster of Wildebeeste who graze upwind of them, oblivious of the silent, powerful death with creeps ever closer. We sit on raised ground, watching the drama unfold, holding our breath, barely able to believe what we are seeing...

Everyone in the family (2 adults and 3 kids, aged 15, 13, and 11) agreed this was our best holiday ever! The whole safari week was excellent.

It could have been the Wildebeast crossing the river, or the pride of lions with cubs at a kill, or the cheetahs, or the 2.2 million Flamingo's or the Sea eagle as it swooped down beside our boat to grab a fish.

It was an immensely educational, stimulating, well-run trip - full of event and new experiences. Great staff - responsible, capable, likeable. For the type of trip it was - I can't imagine one that was run or planned better. I'm very glad that I picked this trip as I didn't want canned "cultural experiences."

Fabulous, great animal safaris, I am not the world's greatest animal lover but nothing beats the thrill of seeing these wild animals with your own eyes in their home environment.

The first 24 hours of this trip are amazing. We drove towards the Masaai Mara and stopped to camp overnight in the middle of nowhere. The trip to the Masaai village was fascinating and very sensitively managed.

We were most impressed with the knowledge, consideration, enthusiasm and attention to safety in your team - guide Elija, cook Demetrius and both drivers Peter & Simon. I enjoyed the boat trip - seeing the hippos and birds close up.

We had a fantastic Kenya visit with this operator. It combined 'safari' with cultural visits and we saw everything form cheetahs feeding to visiting a Masai home.

Clearly the best was seeing the cheetahs. No wait, maybe it was the leopard. Oh, I guess it might have been the lioness running around with an unfortunate gazelle. Or the millions and millions of flamingoes. Uhmm, tough decision.

It's a fantastic trip if you wanted to do something solo but the honeymoon couple on our trip were equally delighted to be with a group so it would suit any combination of traveller.

Thank you for recommending this operator, and for putting me in touch with them. They were absolutely fantastic...Being so close to the wild animals, meeting the local people in their daily life was the most memorable part.

Seeing a wild cheetah warm up ready for a kill. At one point we saw about ten groups of different animals all wandering in the same area. Another part of the trip that had an impact on me was the chance to meet children learning at school and answer their questions about our country.

This was our first visit to the continent and we were not disappointed. The guides, William and Nicholas, were extremely knowledgeable about their country, culture and wild life. Had we travelled by ourselves, we would have missed out on so much!

One huge success for us about the trip was that our 16 year old daughter, despite our considerable misgivings/doubts etc. really enjoyed all that we did - even admitted as much!

The holiday was an excellent balance between a safari and really getting closer to the local culture. ..Our tour guides were excellent at preparing the visits and telling us how to get most out of them. All out interactions with children were completely delightful.

The first few trips out to see the animals (the novelty value I expect), coming back up from the crater standing on the seat and watching the view and the trip to the Maasi Boma (festival on). But all of the trip was a pleasure.

Most memorable moment was walking across the plain with the Masai tribesman as sun was setting, having visited his village, and returning to our campsite in the wilds. I thought that the relationships the tour operator had with the local school, village, environmental programme etc were excellent and sensitively handled.

Being in the right place at the right time to meet a male lion making its early morning way home after a kill (a leg wound and a full belly) and hold our breathes as it walked around us making its way to the family group previously hidden 100 yards away.

The trip was a wonderful experience. I would recommend the tour operator and the tour to anyone. We had a variety of activities, learned a lot, and had a relaxing and informative holiday. I would recommend the tour operator and the Kenya Explorer tour to anyone.

Nothing really compares however to our first gasps of seeing a pride of lions. If you have, like myself never expereinced the combination of the beautiful layers of colours as the fading sun reflects onto the plains of gold and green fields of the Maasai Mara.
