Legit local organizer who will make your money count
I was referred to Arch Treks and Safaris by my Kilimanjaro organizer. I'd already requested quotes from at least three other organizers for an 11 day private safari. Arch Trek came in well below what the other groups were quoting and was able to continue to work with me to adjust my itinerary after I was several days into my Safari and had a better idea of what I was interested in. They were able to secure me an amazing driver and ridiculously nice accommodations for a very affordable price (given it was a solo private safari).
Couple of key points when thinking about who to select:
- Local, meaning money stays local and doesn't filter up to some already rich CEO
- Responsive, James at Arch Trek was always quick to respond to me
- Genuine, I felt that they were more interested in making sure I was satisfied than getting money out of me
- They've got some preset tours that are incredibly affordable but they can also customize
Additional thought
- If you can, organize a private tour (e.g. your family, buddies, etc.) I guarantee you'll have a better time that just getting slotted into a group. Although their group tours were very affordable from the prices they quoted me.

Magical Experience
I knew Arch Treks Safaris through a friend who recommended for their 5 stars services. The trip was awesome and everything went beyond my expectations. From guides, cooks and potters these guys are good in work organization, team work and very polite guys. If you need a magical experience of your life try Arch Treks Safaris and you will be happy.

Fun, unforgettable trips
Arch Trek never disappoints. I’ve done 2 trips with them and what I received was nothing short of professional, affordable and fun. I’ve had 2 wonderful and fantastic experiences with this company and I’d encourage others to book trips with them. Thank you Arch Trek and see you soon for a 3rd trip.

Beyond expectations
Exceeded our expectations beyond what I can say. My partner and I wanted to conquer Point Lenanna (ultimately Bateson and Nelion but we could not find/figure out how…until on our hike to Lenanna). Our route took us from Chogoria to Sirimon, a forest road to the road up to Old Moses camp (fourth night). I preferred this route as towards the end I was needing any signs of civilization as my shoulders were very sore and after 7 hours of hiking.
We love camping in Colorado’s (United States) wilderness and so we brought our own tent, gear, and food. We had said we could bring our own food and otherwise try a few dishes. Boy were we impressed. First of all, we don’t usually have 3 course meals, 3 times a day but our team of 5 made sure we were well fed (carrying all of it up the same route!!), with hot water/coffee/tea at every meal and afternoon.
Then we were astounded by the accommodations. First night was at a group camp with running water and beds. Second night we realized they also brought up a tent for us to relax/eat in, AND another, 4 person tent to sleep in. The third night was another night in the tent, but it started pouring just as we got to Mintos. Luckily they already had the dining tent set up. Fourth night was at a group camp again.
They negotiated/worked with our budget, and drove us to Narok for an extra USD100 per person. I will be finding a way in my budget to make room for their exceptional service.
