"Dreams do come true...."
I've always wanted to visit and tour my country's Northern Frontier and in May - June 2015 I had the opportunity to travel North for the Lake Turkana Cultural Festival for 7 days with the Gametrackers team. From Isiolo to Marsabit to Kargi to Loiyangalani to South Horr and Mararal and through The Kenya Highlands...Good Lord, whats an amazing experience!!! Gametrackers had an awesome team with a knowledgeable and funny guide (Rufus your stories were hilarious), an exemplary driver, made sure we didn't tire easily despite the looooong rough roads and the cook, ooh boy, he made our stomachs melt with joy with every meal :) :). We stayed in tents and the locations for our camp sites were amazing.
I personally enjoyed the view of the sun rising over the Ewaso Nyiro, the game drive up Mount Marsabit and view of Lake Paradise. The Journey through the Karoli desert, the Kaisut desert and the Chalbi deserts was an experience of a life time. Seeing the Jaded Sea for the first time is like a having a glimpse of Heaven. Turkana has diverse cultures and traditions which made me appreciate more my people. The Landscapes and wildlife was abundant.
Im definitely going back further North hopefully trasverse through Kalacha and North Horr with the Gametrackers team.
I highly recommend Gametrackers to anyone planning a trip to East Africa.

A lifetime trip.
What an awesome trip it was,...i would say,'gametrackers lead,others follow'.
We had a wonderful time during the Lake Turkana Cultural Festival,everything was well executed,
wonderful and friendly staff,very professional too,the food was on point,we slept in tents all the way which was a great idea.I also met and made new friends during this trip,some who have become completely part of my life.
In short it was a great adventure with gametrackers,having been driven in an overland truck and so i would recommend them anytime to anyone

A third great experience with Gametrackers K
Great 10-days off-the-beaten-track safari from Nairobi to North Kenya and back.
Fantastic game drives at Samburu, incredible experiences among remote tribes such as the Gabbra, El Molo and Turkana people.
Once again, Daniel and Charles (driver and cook) did all their best (which is much) for our comfort, security and enjoyment of the trip.
Highly recommendable company for any kind of safari in Kenya.
We intend to come back for a 4th safari with Gametrackers K, probably to Tsavo.

Amazing and meaningful trip!
Communication was great! My emails always received a rapid response - especially given time difference. The safari itself was amazing. Apart from seeing all the stunning animals, what really made the experience was our guides (Alfred and George). They took such great care of us, they were patient with our questions, and always tried to make sure we were heaving a great time. My partner and I miss them actually. Please tip handsomely! Your guides work very hard.

it was totally awesome full of adventure our guide was very skilled and knew places for sightings
Our guide Karisa made us feel comfortable having 15 years experience with the company he was very knowledgeable knowing spots to get the best viewing. He worked well with the other team liaising with them while we were out in the bush and answered every questions.
I would not hesitate to recommend Gametrackers for any Safari and when reading this we need to save Masai Mara game park from farming.

Amazing Experience!!!
Our group of 4 began communicating via email with Gametrackers several months prior to our visit. I greatly appreciate how fast and thorough every single email was from Gametrackers. (Thanks Stacey!) We did a 6 safari from Nairobi to Mombasa that included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. We had the best time ever! Our tour guide/driver, Daniel, was the reason for us seeing all of the Big 5 immediately. He's very smart and incredibly passionate about what he does. Not only did he make sure we were able to get pictures, but he respected the animals. We saw tons of other tour guides doing outrageous things and harassing the animals. We learned so much from him about the animals and the country. He even knew Lion King songs, so you can't get much better than that! :) Our chef, Joseph worked wonders with a propane tank and a hot plate. He had the best attitude and work ethic. We loved every meal that he cooked! We truly enjoyed every part of our trip. Thanks so much to the whole team at Gametrackers!
Couldn't be better
I took a safari with Zachary and Aflred, and it could not have been better! Gametrackers has earned a name for themselves, and it's very much deserved. We saw every animal, every detail was planned out and went accordingly, and our guides were very gracious and kind to be around. 5 stars for Gametrackers!

Fantastic safari adventure that created a lifetime's worth of memories!
My two college-age sons and I selected Gametrackers based on the reviews here and could not have been more pleased with every aspect of our 10-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti camping safari. From our first email contact with Stacey Bisley through our final goodbyes to our guide, Rufus Kimani, and our amazing bush chef, Charles, every aspect of Gametrackers' handling of our safari conveyed care and professionalism. If you are reading this and considering whether or not to invest in this trip of a lifetime, just do it! Rufus has an intimate knowledge of each destination and often positioned us to experience the majesty of African wildlife in ways that other guides simply could not match. Charles was a magician with the campfire, cooking delicious hot breakfasts and dinners every day, and providing fresh fruits, vegetables, and sandwiches for lunch. We never went to bed hungry, and always had energy for full days of going face to face with the world's most spectacular wildlife. The highlights of this safari are way too many to remember, but we took over a thousand photos to help spur our memories! Thank you, Gametrackers, for giving us such an intimate look at your beautiful East Africa. By the way, if anybody has questions about our safari, feel free to email me and I will be glad to help you plan your trip.

Amazing experience with such great guides, especially Rufus!
Just about everything was as good or better than we expected. We recognize this was a mid-range safari but it felt better/higher than mid-range, much of the time.

Amazing wild safari thanks to professionalism authenticity and commitment
The safari was great. Guides were great. We discovered a really authentic Africa, with a great service.
I do recommend Gametrackers, especially if you want to go in the north of Kenya.
