Unforgettable experience
5/5

John is the absolute best guide! My family and I had an unforgettable time thanks to John. He’s such and experienced guide who gave us a lot of educational information about all the animals we saw. He made sure to show us everything in Masai Mara. If you are planing a Safari in Africa, definitely book with John.
My family and I can’t wait for our next safari journey!

John Njoroge, our driver rand tour guide
5/5

John was our caring driver. We traveled around Kenya in his strong new Toyota four by four jeep. He was a good safe driver, very knowledgeable about the people of Kenya, the politics, the area we were touring and the animals. The roads were non existent being mud tracks, gravel paths or fording rivers, making the journeys very bumpy but exciting. He would arrange a time to pick us up from our hotel, and was never late. If we wanted to deviate from our route he would be happy to try and help us. Kenya is a wonderful country, with wonderful people like John.

Extremely wonderful Camptrek Safaris experience.
5/5

Extremely wonderful Camptrek Safaris experience They surpassed every anticipation from beginning to end. The guides were really kind and informed, the schedule was thoughtfully prepared, and the booking process was easy. From lodging and excursions to transportation, every element of the package was excellent. To make sure our trip was genuinely unique, they really went above and beyond. Anyone looking for a five-star holiday experience should definitely consider Camptrek Safaris.

Fun, comfortable experience!
5/5

We were very well taken care of as everything was organised from airport transfer, border crossing, to all meals and drinks being provided.
Our safari guide Steve made the experience so much more enjoyable as he was very knowledgeable, had a great eye for spotting animals and was an all-round great guy!

Highly recommend best safari in Kenya
5/5

Our safari in Kenya exceeded all our expectations. Our guide, Steven is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and accommodating. He was always patient, helpful, and ensured we had the best possible experience. He made sure we saw all the best spots and we had a truly unforgettable experience. We saw so many amazing animals and learned so much about the Kenyan culture. Thank you for making our trip so special! I can't recommend him enough.

Responsive tour operator with great local guides who helped us get the most out of our trip
4/5

We travelled in Kenya & Tanzania with Camptrek Safaris in October 24 visiting Amboseli, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crate and Taragire. The office were very responsive to our queries and we were happy with the final itinerary.

We had an amazing trip and saw lots of wildlife, most notably many elephants, but also lions, cheetahs and leopard (albeit distantly), and of course zebra, giraffes, wildebeest etc.

Our driver guides were great, especially David, who we had in Kenya, he was so friendly and helpful as well as very knowledgeable and a good driver.

The accommodations were all lovely ( we opted for mid range places) especially those in / bordering the reserves, although we did have an issue with the one (fisherman’s camp) in Lake Navaisha, where they seemed to have accepted a better booking and shipped us off to a nearby house, that we then had to picked up from to go to dinner and breakfast. However David was great in sorting everything out and rearranging our itinerary to take account of the time this wasted.

The only negative was the vehicles which were rather old ( despite Camptrek advising me when we were planning the trip they were all recently purchased) both were around 10-15 years old and suffered mechanical issues ( the Kenya vehicle had no 1st gear)

Despite this we had a fabulous time and would recommend Camptrek, and David in particular.

A wonderful 6 day tour of 3 game parks - Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara, saw the big 5 + much more!
5/5

From the beginning Margaret and John of Camptrek were excellent, their professional manner and attention to detail filled us with confidence they could deliver the wonderful safari they described. They always responded to queries promptly and with their help we finalised the details of the holiday.
Our driver/guide, Steven, was such a good driver and his wildlife knowledge and knowledge of Kenya were outstanding. He has a map in his head we were sure! He always found the game and got in the best spots to view and photograph. Everything worked exactly to plan, we felt from the outset we were in very capable hands. Even our balloon ride on the final morning - something we’d definitely say was worth that bit extra for!
The lodges and hotels were lovely and very comfortable, the staff there too were equally attentive. The food and choices were always very good.
As for the safaris, well they should be a must on everyone’s bucket list. Kenya is a beautiful beautiful country, the climate is wonderful, be a bit careful with the midday sun and mozzies, but that’s all easy to handle. The people are all so helpful and want to please. Do not underestimate the beauty this country, the scenery and the wildlife. It is just as stunning as all the photos you will see.
We felt Camptrek always gave us that little bit extra, a few lovely personal touches made it an unforgettable safari. We don’t usually do reviews, but we’d send anyone away with Camptrek. Helen and Derek.
