If possible, I would rate Akara Expeditions 5 stars + !

We had a fantastic 12-day holiday in Kenya thanks to our extremely skilled guide James from Akara Expeditions. James welcomed us at the airport and from there we went on safari to the Masai Mara. He showed us all the animals, and his knowledge about wildlife is truly impressive. Our stay at Ashnil Lodge was excellent!

Akara Expeditions is absolutely recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable, worry-free holiday in Kenya.

James was my guide during an Art Safari in Kenya. His knowledge of the wildlife was matched by his amazing storytelling. He also catered our experience so that we had the proper time to soak in the energy and environment of the land, and take the time to paint it.

He knew the best vantage points that would be safe to paint from, and knew when and where to start painting the elephant herds so they would be close to us by the time we were ready to paint details. At one point he even joined in on the fun and painted alongside us. It was one of the most memorable trips I have ever had. I talk about it, and James, to this day.

I can’t wait to go back and have James show me even more of Kenya’s wonderfulness!

James is the most amazing guide you could ever ask for. He doesn’t just give you run of the mill information. He gives you so many stories and takes you to so many places you would never see on your own. He is extremely kind, knowledgable and clearly loves what he does.

Our 10-day safari tour in Kenya with our guide James was absolutely incredible. From Nairobi to the heart of the Maasai Mara, James meticulously crafted an itinerary that allowed us to explore four distinct locations, ensuring that every destination offered a unique perspective on Kenya’s diverse ecosystems. He was so adaptable and made sure everyone in our group had an amazing time.

What truly set this safari apart was James’s unparalleled ability to locate and introduce us to the vibrant array of wildlife that Kenya is renowned for. It was an unforgettable experience that left us with a newfound love for the untamed African wilderness. I highly recommend Akara Expeditions!
