- CassandraPLos Angeles, California2 contributionsBest experience. I cried when my trip came to an end.I just returned from a 2 week trip to Kenya where I spent most of my days with Charles of African Plateau Expedition. We went to 3 parks- Amboseli, Samburu and the Massai Mara. All very different from one another and worth the time spent in the car. Charles was the perfect guide who's love and excitement for the wildlife was felt throughout the vehicle making it fun and enjoyable. Charles is professional, experienced, knowledgeable and pure joy to spend ones vacation with. Looking forward to many more adventures with African Plateau Expedition and hopefully a family trip very soon.Hosting you was an experience in itself. Looking forward to another safari and more adventures planned for you. African Plateau Expedition is forever gratefulWritten June 7, 2020This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited March 2020Written March 16, 2020
- CaliCool16 contributionsAmazing Safari Experience with Professional, Knowledgeable GuidesBest trip ever. I travel out of the country once or twice a year and this vacation was the best thanks to our driver guide Charles. Who could ask for more?...he is experienced, professional, courteous, has an excellent knowledge of the animals, plants, geology, history and culture of Kenya, is a safe and effective navigator of park roads and was always willing to accommodate our last minute requests. He knew where to go to have the best view of animals in the parks...I took over 3000 pictures and saw all the animals I wanted to see. I even enjoyed the birds he pointed out even though I'm not a bird watcher. The parks we visited were breathtaking. Just a wonderful experience.Hosting you was an experience in itself. Looking forward to another safari and more adventures planned for you.Written June 7, 2020This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited January 2020Written February 26, 2020

We went to Kenya for the 1st time, it was worried to go to Kenya for the 1st time with two small active kids but Mary was very helpful and patient. I asked so many questions and also, we were very demanding (I guess…) but she met all our requirements and it was beyond our expectation.
Once we started, driver, Simon was just amazing…he travelled with us all the way like family and we had such a great special experience…It was like we were travelling with Kenyan uncle. My kids really enjoyed talking, eating and all together with Simon.
Simon and Mary’s combination was great too. Mary was always helping remotely and controlling our trip nicely to go smoothly. It was such a memorable experience in Kenya. Thank you African Plateau Expedition. I can 100% recommend them!

Everything went smooth from the start to the end. Never have I experience a more capable guide, who answered when we asked, and showed us the most amazing sites. Everything was well organised long before we were going. Only has some problem with the airline, who thought we should go home a day later,- and even there, Charles found a solution for one more night at the hotel.
My biggest thanks to a very professional set up 🙏👏

Our visit to samburu game park was an unforgettable experience. Along the way, we made a brief stop at the equator in nanyuki town where we were shown how the coriolis effect works.
At the game park, we got to see the samburu five namely the beisa oryx, reticulated giraffe, grevy's zebra, gerenuk antelope and the Somali ostrich.
Basically, Samburu is a very hot, beautiful and hilly county and a home to the ewaso nyiro river.
The trip would have been incomplete without a visit to the Samburu manyatta village where we experienced the rich friendly Samburu culture.
