Their expertise in the local wildlife and culture made each stop on our itinerary fascinating and memorable. Whether we were exploring the Maasai Mara or enjoying the vibrant Sopa Lake Naivasha hotel, provided insightful commentary and answered all our questions with enthusiasm.

Hands down the best 15 day safari with kind, professional, knowledgeable Camptrek Safaris!
5/5

Our 15 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania was absolutely fantastic!!! Even though I read the overview and saw all the pictures, I really had no idea what I was in for. We had 7 people, 2 jeeps and WOW what a dream!!! First of all, John put together an amazing schedule and is so kind, professional and knowledgeable. It really wasn’t just a Safari as I had imagined… it was meeting so many kind people, learning about their culture, seeing and learning about the animals up close from guides with so much knowledge and getting excited from their excitement for what we were seeing! Elephants, 3 types of giraffes, 2 types of zebras, wildebeest, lions, cheetahs, leopards, pumbas, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, baboons, hyenas, monkeys, all kinds of birds, water buffalo, acacia trees and baobab trees (tree of life)….just wow. All of our guides were the best! Thank you John, Anthony, Eric, Good Luck, Hamisi, and Anthony #2! The first day we went to an elephant orphanage and giraffe center, then off we went to Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara (and did the unforgettable sunrise hot air balloon/ breakfast), Serengeti, Tarangire and Amboselli National Parks. We got to learn and meet people from the Masai, the Hedzabe (nomadic) and the Datoga (blacksmith) tribes. The places we stayed were just terrific, I can’t say enough. And honestly, I was worried if there would be decent food for me as a vegan. Well there were so many options and very delicious! They accommodate for anyone’s dietary needs everywhere we went. It was such a beautiful trip. We were sad to say goodbye to what felt like family. Camptrek Safaris is the best and I would recommend them to anyone going on safari!

Responsive and well organized
5/5

We had such a wonderful trip with Camptrek, especially our guide Vincent and Antony. Our boy loved both of them very much. We spent 10 days in safari at Amboseli, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, following up with 3 days in Zanzibar island. The whole trip was smooth and our guides were very responsible and taking care of all our needs.

Vincent is the best guide you could ever find. He’s patient, genuine and thoughtful. Our family was inspired by his passion for wildlife. He is already knowledgeable about the nature and animals. However, he was as curious as we were during the trip. He is more than a guide but like a friend of ours. On the second day of our trip, Vincent invited our 11-year-old boy sitting next to him so they can exchange their knowledge of animal facts. We sincerely appreciate his accompany along the trip. We would definitely love to have Vincent as our guide again next time we visit Tanzania!
What an incredible experience. Highly recommended!!

12-day trip to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar with three guides.
4/5

We booked a 12-day trip to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar, with three different guides. The best and most memorable one was David, our guide in Kenya. He always had this big smile on his face, whether he was with us or chatting with hotel staff. Before every game drive, he’d remind us to check for our phones and bags. On the drives, he patiently taught us how to tell males from females, left from right, and even fun slang for different animals. If you’re booking with Camptrek, David is the one to go with!
In Tanzania, we had to change one of our tent stays because of our schedule change, but the new tent was honestly not up to the mid-range level we expected.
Our guide in Zanzibar not bad, but for booking activities, just ask the hotel front desk. It’s cheaper than what the guidequoted us.

Very well organised
5/5

As our first trip to Kenya we were unsure on how to properly plan a trip and what company to choose. Luckily Margaret was super responsive and designed our trip according to the dates, flight times and our preferences.
After a warm welcome at the airport she introduced us to our tour guide Eric who was very accommodating and knowledgeable.
Hotels were nice and staff welcoming. However, the last hotel might need some updating and requires stocking of the bar (no soft drink, no beer no wine and no brew coffee - we were wondering why they bother to open the bar) - but this not reflect on Camptrek as a company. Thank you Margaret and Eric for making this trip wonderful and memorable.

7-day wildlife and outdoor activities safari tour
5/5

We have long wanted to visit Africa, but did not know which country to start with.
Friends who have traveled to many African countries advised us to start with a safari in the reserves of Kenya.
In order to effectively plan our safari tour, we studied a large number of offers on the Internet and chose Camptrek Safari because they offered reasonable prices, had good reviews and offered us a route and accommodation that exactly matched our request.
We prepaid 30% online and the rest in cash at the start of the trip.
We were met at the airport by a company representative, who also helped us with the online booking of our tour, and handed us over to our personal guide-driver John for the next 8 days.
Our program included visits to 4 national reserves: Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli with accommodation in lodges on the territory of the reserves.
John turned out to be a highly professional guide with 17 years of experience in this field of tourism. During our tour, thanks to John's efforts, we were able to find and photograph more than 50 different animals and birds. In order to take unique photographs, John demonstrated the highest professionalism in driving and courage. Thanks to his knowledge of animals and their habits, he found for us lions and lionesses, cheetahs, rhinoceroses and hippos.
In each of the parks, John was able to show us their uniqueness.
The company, in accordance with our request, provided us with accommodation in excellent locations. Waking up in the morning, we met zebras, waterbucks, and monkeys at our doors. We felt like we were part of the African nature. This is impossible to forget.
All lodges fully met our expectations, and some of them even exceeded them. Each of the lodges was unique and located in picturesque locations.
Moving between parks by car allowed us to experience the full flavor of the diverse landscapes of Kenya in different climatic zones: on the plains, in the foothills and in the mountains.
In retrospect, we think it might have been better to combine travel between the parks by car and by plane, since the 6-hour drive from Amboseli to Nairobi was somewhat tedious. It was only thanks to John's excellent character and efforts that we covered this distance quite easily and cheerfully.
Throughout the entire tour, John followed our wishes and tried to make our trips not only educational, but also fun.
We did not regret choosing Camptrek Safari for our acquaintance with Africa.
