The professional and friendly servic from Campofrio Safari in January 2015 was exceptional.
Over a six month period in 2014 I spent time communicating via the Internet with Oliver for a 14 day safari for 2 couples tailored to our needs starting in Kenya through tanzania and ending in Zanzibar.
We could not fault the service before during and after the safari.
The standard of the guides,accommodation ( only asked for 3 star but much better than that) and transport were above our expectations.
I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Great safari experience
It was the people at Campofrio that made this trip so memorable. I dealt with the Nairobi office via email and had no trouble booking the trip I wanted and at a great value. My inquiries were always dealt with in a timely and friendly manner. The guide and driver were terrific!! We were often the first on the scene to view wildlife. More importantly they shared their knowledge and appreciation of the surroundings and imparted a sense of joy to the adventure. The accommodations were first rate. I would highly recommend Campofrio to anyone interested in going on a safari.

Great service, very informative and surpassed our expectations!
We selected Campofrio Safaris to organise our group of four’s, two week trip to Kenya and Tanzania as they were flexible with the itinerary, affordable, offered thorough information, were prompt with their responding emails and were members of the Kenya Association of Tour Operators. Plus they had an easy to navigate and informative website.
Campofrio organised our car with driver/guide and our accommodation for the trip. We had a comfortable 12 seater van with a raiseable roof for animal viewing. We were each provided with a folder with maps, a detailed itinerary, suggestions and other general information.
We were met at the airport by Oliver, the General Manager, Lawrence the tour director and Benson our guide/driver. Our driver/guide Benson was pleasant company, extremely knowledgeable, obviously respected by other safari drivers as they often consulted or deferred to him and a very cautious driver. He also wrapped our luggage with blankets to prevent the dust getting in.
We travelled from Nairobi to Lake Nakaru where we stayed at the fantastic Flamingo Hill Camp Site after doing a late afternoon safari. It was extremely comfortable and had the best restaurant. We next travelled to the Masai Mara Reserve where we stayed two nights at the Sopa Lodge. We arrived in time to do an afternoon safari and did a full day safari the next day. An early morning start the next day took us through the Mara Reserve on our way to the Tanzanian border at Isebaana where Campofrio organised the 2nd leg of our journey with Leopard Tours. We spent the next 2 nights in the Serengeti, then onto the Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire before flying to Zanzibar for our final 3 days.
Consequently, I would recommend Campofrio to anyone wishing to undertake their travels to Kenya due to their flexibility and professionalism and for organising a trip that surpassed our expectations.

Best selection of hotels and places
We opted for 6 nights 7 days safari luxury tour. Excellent selection of hotels given by the Company. The driver - Mr. Benson was courteous, helpful and most importantly showed his willingness to guide us - and not just a duty. We are pure vegetarians and had no problems with food. In fact, the food was much tastier that what we expected. Throughout support and guidance provided from Campofrio team.
The only regret we had was that we were promised for a new van, but were provided with an old one. The roads of Masai Mara are v.v.bumpy. It was a nightmare for us, since we are not used to such roads at all!! Suggestion : Either opt for flights or else make sure you get a new van / car to at least Masai Mara.

it was a good experience and they are a good people.
They are a good people wiht a lot of experience. I and my wife are happie for have contac with Campofrio. We saw a lot animals and the personal of Campofrio were good with own.
Decent safari and kind people!
I booked a day-trip with Camposafaris to Lake Nakuru. It was a private trip since no others booked anything to this location, and it was amazing! The operator Lawrence is very quick in e-mail communication, helpful and kind. The driver Martin was knowledgeable and he really did his best to get close to the animals. And for lunch he took me (upon my request) to a real Kenyan place which was great. The drive to Nakuru is long (from Nairobi) but the many animals and amazing views make it well worth it! Only advice for Camposafaris would be to bring water. In the price 500ml water was included, but it wasn't provided. Once I asked for it we went to get some outside the park. Thank you for a lovely trip though, would definitely recommend choosing this operator!

THE BEST!
This experience from inquiring about booking with them, to the communication throughout the whole trip was absolutely great. I loved the staff, the driver was the best, and it was by far the most affordable yet best safari trip I could have ever asked for. The driver was super patient and so knowledgable, the staff did daily check-ins to make sure everything was going well. The accommodation arrangements were great and more than we expected. I would highly recommend using Campofrio Safaris especially asking for their 4x4 jeep! It's a beauty and it's able to run through all kinds of roads in the national park, which there were many mini vans that weren't able to make it! I am hoping to go back in July and book again with them!

courteous staff with extensive knowledge of the parks. They were really helpful and transparent.
Safari tour at lake nakuru and Masai Mara were as per our expectations, which were set and communicated to us in advance. The driver cum guide has ~20 yrs of cumulative experience in this field and it aptly reflects during the game drive and off that as well.
We booked our safari pretty late, just 4 days before travel but I think the travel operator did a good job in making best out of it. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning to travel kenya.

My second safari with them, very professional, excellent value for money
This is my 9th Safari (traveled in Botswana, Uganda, Tanz, etc.), and my second time with Campofrio, therefore i have dealt with multiple agencies before.
The Team (Managed by Oliver) is very professional, reactive, and adjusted perfectly well the trip based on my budget and expectations.
The car was exclusively for us, clean and new (very rare with Safaris).
We stayed in private lodges, sleeping beside hippos. Great experience.
I definitely recommend this company, which made us avoid intermediaries, and provided us with an impeccable service and comfort.

Two Thumbs Up!!!
We were totally satisfied with their service. They were always trying to suit our schedule and our guide, Nelson was so experienced. They were also reasonable, polite and honest. I would definitely choose Campofrio Safaris if I came back to Kenya.
