the best possible value for money
The trip was amazing. Our driver was very attentive and catered to us individually, advising us on the best ways to make the most of our time. The campsite is incredible, and I wish we’d had more time to enjoy the place (we only stayed one night). We saw many animals and were just missing an elephant to complete the Big Five, but we saw several others as well. The food was impeccable.

Fabulous 18 day Kenya and Tanzania safari
We chose this company due to their excellent itinerary, high quality of lodging, excellent reviews, and great value compared to other quotes we had gotten. We had 4 different guides on different parts of our tour (due to additions we made to their normal safari schedule) and had great experiences with each one (David, John, Phillip, and Francis). Our main guide was Phillip. He was awesome! Highly knowledgeable and willing to please his guests. One thing we liked about Phil was that you could tell he was as excited to see a great wildlife encounter as we were. That was very nice. He also took the time to find out what we were interested in and tailored the trip accordingly. Each lodge had its own special charm. The food was fantastic and the unlimited bottled water definitely came in handy. You could easily tell the lodges were chosen with care. Pappa John set up a fantastic trip. Each day was an adventure and almost seemed better than the last amazing day. The communication prior to the safari was top notch. Lucy was very responsive and helpful. Within 3 days of starting our safari we had already seen the big 5. Our animal encounters were out of this world. We especially enjoyed Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s elephant orphanage. What an fantastic organization. We highly recommend using this company. They are an amazing group of people that do everything to make your safari an adventure of a lifetime and it absolutely was! This safari was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and will give us memories that will last a lifetime!

Very flexible and helpful in organising a solo trip
The tour guide Paul was excellent. He provided a lot of insight into the region etc and patiently answered my many questions. The Flamingo Hill Tented Campus was beautiful. I was the only one there, because it was low season but they still looked after me very well. The only downside was the rather noisy church nearby (the camp is on the edge of the park), which was having an event till rather late...

Amazing Experience
We loved our 5 day safari in Maasaimara and Amboseli National Park. Our Guide Robert was excellent. We've seen so many animals and he could answer all our question about nature and culture.
That's a once in a lifetime experience!

Amazing experience in East Africa
I'm incredibly happy that we chose to book our safari with Camptrek.
I have done my fair share of travelling, and have been the person to do the research and booking for everything on all prior trips I have made, so I was a little nervous about planning a trip for africa where I would have to give over that aspect to a tour company. This ended up being a non issue, as Margaret and John were very easy to communicate with and very accomodating to our requests. They made sure everything was perfectly planned and had no issues creating multiple itineraries tailored to our wants.
We ended up deciding on an private safari, which had us visiting Rwanda and Uganda to see mountain gorillas, and Kenya and Tanzania for a more traditional Safari. We started in Kigali Rwanda and ended in Arusha Tanzania. Logistically everything went incredibly smooth, and outside of a borderline nonsensical drive to get from Masai Mara to neighbouring Serengeti (not their fault, but it is worth noting that despite being right beside eachother, there is almost a full travel day to go from one to the other due to the border location), the trip flowed very well. All of our lodging was amazing as well.
Once we arrived in Rwanda we were greeted by our first wonderful guide, Godfrey. He was incredibly friendly and made sure everything went perfectly for the gorilla trekking portion of our Safari. We visited a park I had never heard of before, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, and had an amazing experience with the mountain gorillas. Probably one of the most amazing things ive ever done in my life. We are already thinking about taking a future trip to Uganda, as there were many more parks in the country, and the people were incredibly welcoming.
When we arrived in Kenya we met our next guide Steve. Steve was an absolutely amazing driver, he was incredibly passionate about his work, and knowledgable about the parks and animals. He was in constant communication with the other drivers and made sure that if anything interestering happened while we were in the park that we were front and centre to see it. We saw dozens of lions, cheetahs, rhinos, and other amazing animals from mere feet away.
When we crossed over to Tanzania we met our next guide Simon. Simon was very friendly and went out of his way to help us out. Our game drives in Tanzania were quite eventful and we were able to see alot of animals. We had a late flight out of Arusha, and Simon went out of his way to adjust our plans to squeeze in an extra game drive in the morning, and took us to grab some things we needed in town. I really appreciated that, as he was under no obligation to do that.
Overall everything was perfect. If I were to book this trip again I would happily do so with Camptrek.

Outstanding service
We traveled through Kenya and Tanzania with Camptrek Safaris and the experience was superlative.
Starting with Lucy, who helped us with all our inquiries before the trip and managed to fulfill all our needs, booking the best lodges and camps. Then Robert and Richard, the tour guides did an amazing job and managed to drive us through all the national parks where we ended up seeing all type of animals. Also, they were friendly and had a great attitude during the days we spent, something I really appreciate.
It was a wonderful experience from the booking until we arrived back to Argentina and I strongly recommend the company for private and personalized tours.

Completely professional and made us feel like family!
I contacted many different Safari companies for quotes and Camptrek with Margaret was the most quick, professional, and thorough in their responses from the very beginning while also being extremely reasonably priced. Margaret worked with me throughout and arranged a safari with the exact dates I wanted and time in each place, minimizing travel since I was traveling with my older parents.
Every lodge and activity that Camptrek arranged for us was absolutely superb.
The lodges were all world class, with animals free roaming on the grounds and delicious food throughout.
My father was sick for a few days in between and the lodges were so accommodating about making him food that was easier on his stomach, delivering it to our rooms, and letting us leave later in the day, and being more than willing to have a physician come in to see him if we had wanted.
Our guide and driver Eric met us as the airport and dropped us back when our safari finished. He treated us better than family. When my mom had difficulty getting in and out of the high Jeep he went searching the small town outside our lodge to get a step stool for her to get in and out of the jeep. When my father got sick he took me from pharmacy to pharmacy searching for all the meds I had wanted. His eagle eye for spotting animals and his patience made our safari outing a joy where we saw every animal in the big 5 multiple times over.
Eric was funny, engaged, and full of facts about all the animals. He was willing to accommodate our every request and went out of his way to make us comfortable throughout.
I could not recommend Camptrek enough! They were true professionals and made sure we were looked after every moment of our time in Kenya.

Incredible customer focussed & passionate guides
29 days Ultimate safari adventure
To summarise if you want the very best safari adventure choose Camptrek safaris.
I promise, you will not be disappointed. I was blown away. I cannot praise or recommend them highly enough.
Looking for a bespoke safari adventure with specific needs I contacted many companies both in the UK & in East Africa
From the moment I contacted Camptrek safaris I just knew this was the company that could fulfill my dreams.
I spent many hours researching and had hundreds of questions. Each one was answered quickly & professionally by Lucy & occasionally John at any time of the day or evening.
Most of the Lodges & Tented camps suggested by Lucy were amazing. Always in a great area in each of the national parks we travelled through to get the very best out of our days.
Internal flights again were planned meticulously & a different guide was waiting at each different area of both Kenya & Tanzania.
Patience & respect was always shown by Lucy when we changed the itinerary numerous times to ensure not a moment was wasted.
Cost was extremely reasonable & far cheaper than some “reputable “ UK companies who were choosing much cheaper lodges
We booked our flights separately & were delayed by KLM . I contacted Camptrek at the airport using WhatsApp. No worries. We were met at the airport after a 10 hour delay by Margaret & Peter who immediately took us on the Nairobi national park safari & continued with our full itinerary including a delicious lunch at the Carnivore restaurant, as if nothing had happened. So nothing was lost.
We had three different guides throughout our days on safari. Steven for the Amboseli region. Steven had great knowledge of the animals & birds in the area. We found cheetah on the first day & Lion twice. We really enjoyed his company & he was extremely good fun & professional at all times. We didn’t think we could find a better guide.
We met David our second guide for 11 days at Samburu airstrip who had the largest smile & happiest greeting you could wish for. Travelling through Samburu, Ol Pejeta, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha & finally the Masai Mara we had the best of times. Lots of fun & laughter & we had the most amazing sightings. I could write endlessly about the incredible experiences we witnessed. It was my husbands birthday in the Masai Mara. David made this day extra special & one we can never forget. We jokingly ordered leopard sightings. 🤪 the gods were on our side & it looked like he delivered. He made the day extra special with the Masai people singing at a bush breakfast & again at dinner.
David had such passion. He just seemed to have a sixth sense about animals. we saw leopard with a kill climb a tree. Countless lions,
Cheetah. The big 5 almost daily. He always managed to find the right place to be. He seemed to know & understand what the animal would do and so could find the right position before the crowds arrived resulting in the best photos. David treated us like his family. He is unforgettable.
The Landcruiser was spotless & cleaned every single day. The windows sparkled; the floor mats pristine. The jeep washed daily.
Both David & Steven picked us up early morning & delivered us back to camp at sunset. Not a moment was wasted.
And then we flew to Tanzania & met our third guide Shabani.
After such an amazing experience in Kenya we didn’t know what to expect.
Shabani was quieter but loved to learn & compare our lives. He was extremely conscientious & really tried his best to give us amazing experiences. We saw the great migration river crossings four times over a day and a half. Other guests in our lodge never saw one river crossing in those same days that we were there His patience was overwhelming We wanted to get the best photographs & he tried his very hardest to follow our instructions ensuring that we got the most unbelievable photos.
Driving from northern through to central Serengeti Shabani made each long journey memorable by going out of his way so that every possible sighting in the area could be had. We saw so many lion cheetah & leopards including cubs. Again the Land cruiser was cleaned daily. The windows sparkling not like many other companies we saw.
Shabani suggested we not follow the crowds but do our own sightings. His knowledge of central Serengeti was second to none driving along lesser known tracks to the mainstream & consequently we were rewarded with unforgettable moments; Such as a leopard family with month old cubs. Servals. Caracal & young cheetah cubs with their mother.
The last 3 days of our journeys through NGORONGORO & finally Tarangire national park were long days. Shabani made sure that he made the best of those journeys exploring different areas of the national parks so that we could get the most out of our days & unusual sightings.
We finally ended our holiday with a beach stay in Zanzibar. Please ensure that you have the mandatory travel insurance otherwise you must pay at the airport which is a cost of $44 each.
We were collected at the airport by a representative arranged by Camptrek.
We had some issues on arrival in Zanzibar & I contacted Camptrek immediately by WhatsApp John responded. The issues were discussed & resolved without question. I couldn’t have expected better service from anywhere.
It’s very refreshing to know that if any issues do arise. There is back up from the company no matter where or when.
I would recommend Camptrek safaris to anyone. You will be overwhelmed by their professionalism , courtesy honesty & superb passionate guides.
Nothing was ever too much for anyone in the company. This has been a holiday like no other. I cannot praise everyone in the company highly enough.
Camptrek: You are the very best. You deserve every success in the future.
Asante Sana John & your incredible team ❤️

The Perfect 5-Day Kenya Safari
We booked a private 5-day safari. We communicated with manager Rose via WhatsApp, discussing all the details well in advance. We mentioned we wanted to visit three parks: Maasai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli. Ultimately, we were offered the perfect tour covering these parks. All our wishes were taken into account—we communicated at length and ultimately created the tour of our dreams.
We were met right at the airport, explained everything in detail, and then we headed straight to the safari. We were also given lovely souvenirs with the company logo upon arrival.
The driver-guide deserves special praise—Steven is a true professional. He actively communicated with the other drivers on the radio and drove quickly through the park—we ended up seeing absolutely every animal.
Everything was very flexible—we started at 6 am with a boxed breakfast.
Steven gave us very engaging stories about all the animals and Kenya in general.
On our last day, we were dropped off at the airport four hours before departure.
We recommend this company 100% - everything was perfect.
