Our group had also additional guides but they were amazing , they helped us spotting all the big 5 in the Savana during our 3/4 days game drive.. and much more during our transfer between different parks were always available to reply to our questions and curiosity about the environment and what was going on. Amazing experience and definitely can recommend to everyone to do a Safari experience with them. Has been an unforgettable experience .Posted on Larry SVerified An experience of a lifetime African Trails Expeditions is a small company with a stellar reputation. It is not by accident that every review is 5 star.From the front office managed by Mercy,who tended to all of our pre-trip questions to our safari guides Nicholas and Martin, our expectations for our trip were exceeded.Martin and Nicholas were cordial,friendly,and accommodating to our various interests and requests. Their knowledge of the culture,animals, birds, and flora is impressive.As expressed to each of them, it is unfathomable that there could be any guides who are as knowledgeable and personable as they are.The accommodations that African Trails Expeditions planned for us were exceptional and on par with many 5 star hotels.African Trails is passionate about their business,Like us you will arrive as clients and leave as family.Posted on Charles BVerified Such a fabulous time in Kenya Wow, unbelievable experience. One in our group of 10 had heard of African Trails Expeditions and suggested we give them a try. Talk about exceeding expectations. After leaving Nairobi we traveled to 5 different locations north and west of the city. They arranged for fabulous lodging/glamping at each place. Along with twice daily excursions to see animals, they arranged for some surprise events at lodges and during the safari rides. Nicolaus and Martin, our guides, were so invested in us having a great experience. They coordinated between each other and other guides to provide us so many opportunities to see different animals, they stopped for sunsets, listened to us when we asked to stop for a picture; they were just totally connected to what we needed to enjoy the trip. No two rides were the same. The animals and ecosystems were impressive, but the guides’ extensive knowledge of the wildlife, birds, local history, foliage, and Kenyan culture gave so much depth to the experience. I have traveled with many travel companies with structured trips. The African Trails Expedition experience was structured, but flexible to accommodate various opportunities. They set themselves apart from the others. Great weather helped things go well, but from itinerary design to the interaction between staff and our group, to the effort to keep things interesting, the African Trails team distinguished themselves in making Kenya a wonderful, memorable destination.Posted on Marilyn BVerified African Trails Expeditions - the Best of the Best!! Having been to Kenya for Safari once before, I never dreamed that experience could be topped, but African Trails Expeditions topped it. We saw the Big Five, the Samburu Special Five, and the Ugly Five. We stayed at beautiful lodges with excellent facilities and delicious food. But what made our trip the best were our guides, Nicholas and Martin. I don’t think there are better guides in all of Africa. They told us so much about this wonderful country and all of the wildlife we saw. No question went unanswered. Mercy, who made all of our reservations, made sure that we had the best locations at each of the camps. And by the end of our trip, those three felt like family. It was so hard to say goodbye. If you plan on going on safari (everyone should), I highly recommend African Trails Expeditions. You can do one of the adventures on their website or you can plan your own unique safari. They will customize to fit your needs.Posted on Louise CVerified Hooray for African Trails Expeditions African Trails Expeditions is the way to see Kenya! The guides Martin and Nicholas were so knowledgeable about all aspects of our safari. They explained all the animals and made sure we saw the ones important to us! They know about trees, flowers, landscapes, rivers, and all aspects of the land. the accommodations they arranged were lovely and very comfortable. The meals were delicious and plentiful. Martin , Nicholas, and Mercy we so friendly and really made us feel “at home” in Kenya. With African Trails we were able to arrange the kind of trip we wanted instead of having a formulaic itinerary. If you want the experience of a lifetime, use African Trails Expeditions for a fabulous journey into the land and culture of Kenya.
