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!

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 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.

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.

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

"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.

Wonderful trip
I was with Gametrucker in Turkana Lake for a cultural festival there. We spent 7 days travelling in Northern Kenya by a truck and sleeping in tend. The travel went very well, the agency team is professional and friendly. All passeggers were extremely interessing people and we enjoyed time together helping the team in daily activities preparation such as tend camp setup, as a family. We discovered amazing lands in remote area of the country and we have always the security standards in place. Definitely the most serious travel agency i have esperienced in east africa.

Fantastic Camping Safari in Uganda & Tanzania -- Highly Recommend Gametrackers
My college study abroad group traveled through Uganda and Tanzania with Gametrackers for roughly 2 weeks. They picked us up in Kampala and went to Murchison Falls, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Lake Victoria, Jinja, the Serengeti, Olduvai Gorge, Ngorongoro Crater, and Mt. Kilimanjaro. We saw tons of wildlife and beautiful scenery. The Gametrackers crew was very friendly, knowledgeable and able to find every type of animal we wanted to see (elephants, lions, leopards, hyenas, giraffes, etc, etc).
Gametrackers did an excellent job accommodating our large (21 person) group. They tailored our trip to hit all the places we wanted to see. They handled all the scheduling and paperwork at all the parks, campsites, etc. We were able to just kick back, relax and enjoy the beauty of East Africa. The cook made 3 fantastic meals per day and even managed to bake a cake at a campsite for one of our birthdays. They have quality, comfortable, waterproof camping equipment that made for an enjoyable camping experience. Their large safari trucks were perfect for sight-seeing in the bush.
We had a great trip and really appreciated Gametrackers. I highly recommend Gametrackers to anyone planning a trip to East Africa.

(Two Words) Just Great
1st - I lived in Kenya Jan.1954 to 1960, 4 years as a Policeman and 3 years with Kenya Meat Commision. Since 2000 I have been back 4 times, each time on GTC 1 except for this last trip when I had to take GTC 2 due to shortage of bookings, when by combining 1 & 2 we could go.. Every trip I have had an excellent time, the staff being excellent, the food well above one would expect on a camping safari and the Knowledge of the Driver/Guide to the highest standard. The trips has been fascinating,each time for a different reason. the 2nd time especially as we were able to visit Tuum & Kowop which I knew in 1954, Changed slightly!!! Fully recommended both for scenery and wild life, having seen the big five.
