Excellent service
This was our first safari but Kameraz did excellent job selling Africa to us. It was very smooth ride from start to finish. Our guide Peter was very knowledgeable about all the animals - large and small and also knows the parks very well. He knows where to stop on the longer rides. The company leader Carol was available to answer all our questions. I recommend safari with this company!

Perfect and well organised safari,
We have just got back to England following a a 9 day safari, Carol was extremely helpful when tailoring the trip to our needs, we had numerous emails and WhatsApp conversations and everything went without a hitch. Our guide was Dennis who was the best we could have asked for. He knew so much about everything and was very skilled in moving the jeep to get the best views, despite the large amount of others all wanting the same. Once he realised I was interested in the birdlife too he never failed to point new birds out and tell me what they were. My wife had a migraine for 2 days and he was so careful driving on the bumpy tracks and taking non standard routes to get the smoothest roads for her. 9 days and we've made a good friend.
We chose Carol as she was the most reliable in responding to messages and excellent value for money, without a doubt every hotel/lodge we stayed in was better then we could have imagined.
Thanks Carol and Dennis

Charming
We opted to go with Kameraz of Afrika was our African Wildlife safari tour. We had a great time exploring all the parks along with our guide. Our guide was Kioko and he was great company to see all the parks with. The entire trip was well planned and executed.
We had taken the luxury package for our honeymoon, however only our last accommodation for 2 nights at Masai Mara was luxury level. Other accommodations were average and the price paid for the luxury was not justified.
Overall, it was a great experience and we will remember our safari experience for life.

Very responsive and flexible tour operator who can help customize your Safari trip
Kameraz of Afrika was extremely responsive on responding to my requests and questions when over WhatsApp when planning the trip, and this is the main reason I have chosen this operator to organize my trip.
We planned a 5 day trip across Masai Mara (Kenya) and Serengeti (Tanzania), which required customized transportation but the operator planned it perfectly and everything went smoothly. The drivers in each location always arrived on time and made sure we were safely transported to our next destination.
The tour guides in Kenya and Tanzania were both very nice people with high level of hospitality. It was unfortunate that there were less animals due to the low season, but they tried hard and we were eventually able to see pretty much all species the Safari had to offer. I would especially like to thank Elly who took very good care of our small kids during the trip.
I think pricing was competitive compared to other operators and the quality of the vehicles were satisfactory. They were very flexible on changing plans along the way.
In terms of improvement points,
1) it would have been helpful if they could prepare a detailed itinerary with flight #s and meet up times with each driver, which only partial information was provided and sometimes made us nervous
2) We were taken to Masai village although we had not asked for nor had been explained about, and got ripped off on entry fee, which was an unpleasant experience
3) The guide in Kenya could have done a better job spotting animals, as he made some bets which eventually didn't pay off and we spent a long time just waiting. He was also quiet and didn't explain much about the animals.
Overall, it was a very satisfactory trip and recommend Kameraz of Afrika for those considering a customized trip to the Safaris.

Generally good.
My positive feedback is for our guide Dennis, although there are some minor flaws, it does not affect him is a guide worthy of recommendation. Thanks to Dennis's professionalism and hard work, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five and Five Ugly on the trip,and he ALWAYS gave us the best position to take photos!We were so happy and appreciate!!There were also some unsatisfactory points in the trip. In Masai Mara, we stayed in Serena Safari Lodge, the roof of our room leaked severely due to heavy rain at night. The leaking place happened to be in the position of the bed, causing the sheets and quilts to be very wet, and the dripping noise kept me up all night.The next day, I reported that to the reception and received a response like "OK，I will change your room then". There is no sincerely formal apology at all! It's so frustrating,I informed Dennis and Candy about it,they both replied that they will communicate with Serena, but I have not received any further response from either them or Serena regarding this matter. I think a good safari operator is not just about making us to have fun,but more importantly, to protect our rights and interests, because accommodations are booked by operator. Unfortunately, Kameraz failed to do so for us.

Booked us an excellent safari but communication during the trip itself could be improved
Booked an andbeyond safari with kameraz of afrika and had an amazing time overall. They charged a fair price, and communication in the planning stage was great.
My only complaint is that approaching the trip and during the trip the communication was much worse.
For example, they booked us a driver but didnt give us any details on the day of like a name, vehicle, eta, etc. We also had a change in our airline company last minute that neither us or the driver was aware of until we got to the airport and had to drive to another terminal. Finally, there was severe flooding that might have impacted our safari if it was a few days earlier but we didnt get any clear or detailed updates from them, and I had to reach out to our camp directly to get details.
Overall they did a fair job and i wouldnt let those minor communication issues deter someone from booking with them for a good itinerary at a good price!

Well organized Safari trip cross Kenya and Tanzania seamlessly.
My boyfriend and I had an excellent journey with Kameraz of Afrika. I recommend this agency for your Safari trip for the following reasons.
1. Reasonable price with firmed accommodations.
I compared more than 10 safari agencies, Kameraz of Afrika is the best in terms of price and smooth of communication.
2. Firmed hotel/lodges.
I heard some cases that agency promised certain accommodations but when tourists arrived, they changed to worse hotels. And incidence never happened with Kameraz of Afrika.
3. Experienced drivers/guides.
Both guides for Kenya and Tanzania have more than 15 years' experience. Trip with them seems that we have a biologist around. We even saw leopards, cheetahs, serval cats which not so many people can see.

Be careful!!!
Overall the safari was an amazing experience. Our driver Tony was always punctual and went out of his way to ensure we saw plenty of animals and always from the best vantage points.
However, we specifically booked this tour to stay on the game reserves, but at the last minute, the accommodation was changed to a substandard hotel in town. We spoke with the office about this and the woman there wouldn’t help and was extremely rude, yelling that we should read the small print. There were also issues with the final payment , and despite sending proof the payment had been made, the same woman again yelled down the phone demanding to be paid again and threatened us with the police. Not a pleasant experience.

Most incredible experience!
Where to even start with Kameraz of Afrika! After being let down by a separate company, they were able to help us forget about that and have the most amazing holiday. Our 10 day safari was made by our fantastic tour guide Ali who always went above and beyond to provide us with the most incredible experiences from 6 week old lion cubs, a kill and even a serval!! His eye sight and ability to spot these incredible animals blew us away, showing his appreciation, passion and experience in all he does. He was so welcoming and always cracking jokes about different things we were seeing on the way, an asset to the team and something Kameraz of Afrika should be proud of.
The accommodation which was booked for us was breathtaking, leaving us speechless most of the time. Our trip consisted of Aberdare (the Ark lodge), Ol Pejeta, lake Nakuru, the Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli (seeing Kilimanjaro), spending the afternoon before our flight home in Nairobi getting up close and personal with giraffes.
Anyone who loves animals and wants a safari holiday, we would a million percent recommend and we will be going back with them again!

Incredible experience with Kameraz!
We had an amazing 10-day safari experience with Kameraz this September. Carol took all our requests into consideration and put together an itinerary that was suitable for us and within our budget. All of the accommodations we stayed at were up to, if not beyond par!
Our guide Tony was amazing! He was accommodating to all our requests and made sure we got to see the big five and more! He was especially good at spotting all the birds so, if you are into bird watching, definitely request him. He was really informative too and polite.
Everyone we came a cross were so polite and hospitable and we truly felt welcome everywhere.
I really hope we get a chance to visit a Kenya once again!
