Excellent, personalized service from start to finish
My fiancé and I took 5 day tour through 3 Kenyan parks - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. The Arch Treks team met us at our Nairobi hotel and we were off. Our driver/guide Ken was wonderful. He pointed out interesting sites along the drive, and his skills and talents at finding wildlife while on safari was outstanding. He repeatedly found animals both large and small and we were able to enjoy their magnificence for a long time before other tours descended on us. We saw all of the Big Five on the trip. We also loved the accommodations. All of the tented camps were what we expected, and we enjoyed meeting the staff who were all pleasant and full of energy. We wholeheartedly recommend Arch Treks and Safaris.
Great service
The safari was really great. We went around all major parks with very few hiccups. James (owner) was very kind and accomodating. David (driver) was very knowledgeable and managed to drive the van so the roads are as comfortable as possible (is a big deal!). We've seen all the animals parks have on offer!
Initially we were very hesitant regarding transferring money to Kenya as a deposit, but after some "background checks" we managed to get comfortable.

easy process for an amazing experience
Booked on line with James, who was able to make changes after the initial booking, he organized Charles to be my driver and guide. Charles made this trip into a great experience in parting he knowledge of culture, wild life etc, I spent an amazing time seeing the great migration in the Maasai Mara, the Rhinos near Sweetwater camp, and several other parks, all hotels great, and food amazing. The Safari I would do again, and would love to have Charles as a guide and James organise it, and Sopa hotels were in great spots.

Unexpected life changing moments.
Arch Treks and Safaris went beyond expectations in that all our queries and needs were meet. They ensured that we were all well equipped, had proper safety, reliable transport and good accommodation. Their communication and services provided were efficient. I enjoyed getting to know the individuals from Arch Treks and Safaris. Furthermore, I really appreciated the advise given on climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.

They know their job and are very dedicated, faithful and excellent in getting you there!
Let me tell you... These guys are wonderful. They tell you the truth, discuss with you your expedition give you advice, recommend required kit, tell you where to find what you need and what is most important, they care! I am a teacher and health and safety of our children is key. James and his people are very knowledgeable about people (they are people-smart), the environment as well as other countries. They know their job and do it with their hearts.

Transportation services
Owner of Arch Treks and Safaris, James, was top notch! He is prompt with his communication replies and detailed in scheduling and pricing. His personality is very warming and he enjoyable to be with. His other drivers are accomodating as well. I highly recommend Arch Treks and Safaris for for any transportation services you might need in Kenya or Tanzania, including border crossing.

Fantastic guide for a technical climb up Mt. Kenya (Batian)
I used Archtrek Safaris as a guide up Mt. Kenya. James was a pleasure to work and converse with and my technical guide Joseph was excellent. He was trained by NOLS and is on Kenya's search and rescue team. He knew his stuff and made good decisions even when a bad storm rolled in and we had to do an emergency descent. The food was excellent and they were really flexible in arranging my itinerary and logistics.

Kenya Safari
James Karivki of Arch Treks made my trip to Kenya a lifetime memory.I made last minute arrangements and numerous changes during my Safari and James flawlessly handled them all.The guides he provided will remain lifetime friends.Part way thru my trip I made a surprise visit to my granddaughter who was in Kenya on a yoga project.To arrive unannounced half way around the continent was a logistical nightmare but James and his guide did it! Something my family will never forget.
