Proper operator
5/5

The company delivered what they promised. We were three colleagues travelling together. We had booked a two-night trip. The trip's program was adjusted so that we saw both safari in Maasai Mara, village, and Lake Naivasha with a walk. The price also suited us, compared to other companies. Thanks to John who was our contact at Camptrek Safaris and made this suggestion :) The location of Zebra Plains Mara camp was perfect, in the middle of the savannah. We saw several animals right up close. Our guide, Philip, was professional and with many years of experience as a safari guide. All three of us also received a nice personal gift from the company. Thank you, Camptrek Safaris, for the great trip!

Brilliant safari, thankyou Camptrek.
4/5

I have given this 4 stars but would have liked to have given 5. The only thing letting this safari down was the interior of the jeep. The inside wasn't what we expected, all headrests were broken, reclining seats didn't work properly, windows rattled as seals missing etc.This was out first impression of the experience we were embarking upon and it wasn't a good one.

However my fears were unfounded as ,apart from this, it could not have been better.

Organisation was brilliant, itinerary was great, accommodation far exceeded our expectations and our driver, Eric was fantastic. He was so helpful, friendly and obliging, his knowledge of the various animals, birds etc was outstanding,we couldn't have asked for better. Thankyou Eric, you made our holiday an amazing experience.

Well organised value for money.
5/5

From first contact Camptrek provided a well organised safari which exceeded our wildest dreams. One of the best things was our driver Eric who soon became a friend as well as a fountain of animal knowledge. His skill at finding rare animals was only rivalled by his skill driving on the game trails.

Outstanding service
5/5

We traveled through Kenya and Tanzania with Camptrek Safaris and the experience was superlative.
Starting with Lucy, who helped us with all our inquiries before the trip and managed to fulfill all our needs, booking the best lodges and camps. Then Robert and Richard, the tour guides did an amazing job and managed to drive us through all the national parks where we ended up seeing all type of animals. Also, they were friendly and had a great attitude during the days we spent, something I really appreciate.
It was a wonderful experience from the booking until we arrived back to Argentina and I strongly recommend the company for private and personalized tours.

Best Memories
5/5

I recently traveled to Africa with Camptrek, based in Kenya, and it was an incredible experience. Lucy was exceptional in helping me plan the itinerary and was always quick to respond to my questions. Her thoughtful gesture of gifting us personalized water thermoses at the start of the tour in Nairobi was much appreciated.A highlight of my trip was celebrating my birthday in Kenya, which was one of the best days of my life. We flew in a hot air balloon, enjoyed breakfast in the savannah, went on a game drive, and ended the day with massages at Sarova Mara. They surprised me with a delicious cake during dinner and sang "Happy Birthday," making it a truly emotional moment.Our guides were fantastic. Robert, in Kenya, made every day fun and shared fascinating insights about the wildlife. In Tanzania, Richard led us through stunning landscapes in the savannah and the Ngorongoro Crater, ensuring we felt safe and informed.In summary, my trip with Camptrek was unforgettable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Africa!

Excellent Kenya and Tanzania Safari Tour
5/5

We did a 13 day safari tour incorporating parks in Kenya and Tanzania. The programme was put together by Margaret after some initial questions and then slightly tweaked to suit our needs.

We did a private tour just for the 2 of us but still travelled in the 8 seater 4x4, which was advantageous for us because (1) we were able to spread our belongings over the space (2) no competition or jostling for the photo taking and (3) it allowed us to decide and alter our programme each day in consultation with the driver.

Communication from Camp Trek’s Margaret started well in advance of the trip and continued throughout the trip. All queries were dealt with efficiently and quickly.

We visited Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara parks in Kenya and Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire parks in Tanzania. The vast plains of Masai Mara and Serengeti contrasted with the different landscapes of the lakes and crater. This meant that not everything was the same- the different landscapes were almost as much interesting as the wildlife.

We covered large distances and it is worth studying how much travel is required between parks, sometimes 6 to 7 hours in the vehicle. Having the private tour allowed us to shorten our game drives and increase the amount of downtime in the lodges, as and when required. Thanks to our Kenya driver Steve and Tanzania driver Richard who also co-ordinated well and the border crossings were handled very smoothly, also with John on our return border crossing and airport drop-off.

Some of the accommodations were based in the middle of the game park, in unfenced areas, which puts you literally in the game zone. Having the animals close to you is hard to believe. This does mean a disturbed night from the sounds of animals and a requirement to be escorted to and from your room after dark.

In summary, a bucket list event and strongly recommend Camp Trek Safaris to cater for your needs. Thanks to all the individuals mentioned above.

Incredible Safari Experience
5/5

We have just finished an 8 day safari with Camptrek safaris and I cannot recommend them enough. Prior to the vacation, the communication with Margaret was fantastic and she planned the perfect itinerary for us. John our guide was incredible for the 8 days he was with us. He knew everything there is to know about Kenya and all the national parks we visited and of course all the animals. He made it his mission to ensure we saw everything and we cannot thank him enough for making our dream holiday a reality. His English is fantastic and he was constantly attentive, ensuring everything was perfect for us. I would 100% recommend camptrek safaris to anyone thinking about doing a safari and I hope I get to experience one with you again. Thankyou

Dream Safari week with our brilliant guide John. Visited many national parks and saw the big 5!
5/5

I choose CampTrek safaris due to the good reviews I read on them and they were all completely correct. Before the trip I asked loads of questions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and Margaret answers them all in detail. She put together the perfect itinerary for us that included everything we wanted. On day 1 we were picked up by both Margaret (who had brought us both a gift, which was a great touch) and our guide John. Over the next 8 days John took amazing care of us, he has years of experience so passed on so much fascinating information about the wildlife, the Masi people and Kenya in general! We learnt so much. Over the trip he made sure we saw everything we possibly could have, including each of the big 5 just meters from the car! (Some of them multiple times) He constantly checked we were ok and anything we asked of him he took care of. John made sure we had the perfect safari experience and we can’t thank him enough. Comparing various company’s before booking I can say that the value for money with CampTrek safaris is excellent. The accommodation was great and so was the food provided. I will be recommending CampTrek Safaris to any of my family and friends who are considering a Safari in Kenya.

Excellent
5/5

Many thanks to Robert and the team of Camptrek Safaris for providing us with a perfect safari experience. Everything was perfectly organized so that we could enjoy our first trip to Africa to the fullest. Thanks to our experienced guide Robert, we had an exceptional time in Masai Mara und Amboseli National Park and were able to see the Big Five (among many other animals). We would highly recommend connecting with Camptrek Safaris.

The perfect safari trip to Kenya!
5/5

We've had the chance to start the year with a safari trip to Kenya, provided by Camptrek and hosted by our perfect guide Robert. We visited Maasai Mara and Amboseli NP. We were super lucky with the game drives and spotted 4 out of the Big Five and had an amazing time! Robert, our guide, made the trip unforgettable: he was a true expert and we've had a great time with him alongside us. He gave his best to show us all the animals and had useful information to all of them for us. We would recommend everyone to go on a trip with Robert!

Also the lodges we were staying were amazing: in Maasai Mara, we stayed at Zebra Lodge: This place was amazing! The staff was lovely and super attentive. They treated us wonderuflly and contributed as well to a wonderful experience. The camp was very nice, the food was good and the location breathtaking with animals all around us. In Amboseli we stayed at the Sopa lodge, a bit more touristy and classic but also well worth the experience. With these two lodges we got two different experiences and loved both of them!

All in all we were super happy with the whole experience and would recommend Camptrek to everyone for their safari-adventure!
