Very well organised
5/5

As our first trip to Kenya we were unsure on how to properly plan a trip and what company to choose. Luckily Margaret was super responsive and designed our trip according to the dates, flight times and our preferences.
After a warm welcome at the airport she introduced us to our tour guide Eric who was very accommodating and knowledgeable.
Hotels were nice and staff welcoming. However, the last hotel might need some updating and requires stocking of the bar (no soft drink, no beer no wine and no brew coffee - we were wondering why they bother to open the bar) - but this not reflect on Camptrek as a company. Thank you Margaret and Eric for making this trip wonderful and memorable.

7-day wildlife and outdoor activities safari tour
5/5

We have long wanted to visit Africa, but did not know which country to start with.
Friends who have traveled to many African countries advised us to start with a safari in the reserves of Kenya.
In order to effectively plan our safari tour, we studied a large number of offers on the Internet and chose Camptrek Safari because they offered reasonable prices, had good reviews and offered us a route and accommodation that exactly matched our request.
We prepaid 30% online and the rest in cash at the start of the trip.
We were met at the airport by a company representative, who also helped us with the online booking of our tour, and handed us over to our personal guide-driver John for the next 8 days.
Our program included visits to 4 national reserves: Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli with accommodation in lodges on the territory of the reserves.
John turned out to be a highly professional guide with 17 years of experience in this field of tourism. During our tour, thanks to John's efforts, we were able to find and photograph more than 50 different animals and birds. In order to take unique photographs, John demonstrated the highest professionalism in driving and courage. Thanks to his knowledge of animals and their habits, he found for us lions and lionesses, cheetahs, rhinoceroses and hippos.
In each of the parks, John was able to show us their uniqueness.
The company, in accordance with our request, provided us with accommodation in excellent locations. Waking up in the morning, we met zebras, waterbucks, and monkeys at our doors. We felt like we were part of the African nature. This is impossible to forget.
All lodges fully met our expectations, and some of them even exceeded them. Each of the lodges was unique and located in picturesque locations.
Moving between parks by car allowed us to experience the full flavor of the diverse landscapes of Kenya in different climatic zones: on the plains, in the foothills and in the mountains.
In retrospect, we think it might have been better to combine travel between the parks by car and by plane, since the 6-hour drive from Amboseli to Nairobi was somewhat tedious. It was only thanks to John's excellent character and efforts that we covered this distance quite easily and cheerfully.
Throughout the entire tour, John followed our wishes and tried to make our trips not only educational, but also fun.
We did not regret choosing Camptrek Safari for our acquaintance with Africa.

the best possible value for money
5/5

The trip was amazing. Our driver was very attentive and catered to us individually, advising us on the best ways to make the most of our time. The campsite is incredible, and I wish we’d had more time to enjoy the place (we only stayed one night). We saw many animals and were just missing an elephant to complete the Big Five, but we saw several others as well. The food was impeccable.

Fabulous 18 day Kenya and Tanzania safari
5/5

We chose this company due to their excellent itinerary, high quality of lodging, excellent reviews, and great value compared to other quotes we had gotten. We had 4 different guides on different parts of our tour (due to additions we made to their normal safari schedule) and had great experiences with each one (David, John, Phillip, and Francis). Our main guide was Phillip. He was awesome! Highly knowledgeable and willing to please his guests. One thing we liked about Phil was that you could tell he was as excited to see a great wildlife encounter as we were. That was very nice. He also took the time to find out what we were interested in and tailored the trip accordingly. Each lodge had its own special charm. The food was fantastic and the unlimited bottled water definitely came in handy. You could easily tell the lodges were chosen with care. Pappa John set up a fantastic trip. Each day was an adventure and almost seemed better than the last amazing day. The communication prior to the safari was top notch. Lucy was very responsive and helpful. Within 3 days of starting our safari we had already seen the big 5. Our animal encounters were out of this world. We especially enjoyed Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s elephant orphanage. What an fantastic organization. We highly recommend using this company. They are an amazing group of people that do everything to make your safari an adventure of a lifetime and it absolutely was! This safari was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and will give us memories that will last a lifetime!

Customer Oriented
5/5

Pappa John is knowledgeable well educated and well spoken driver, tour guide. He always keeps in mind the customer’s needs and requirements and drives accordingly meaning gentle on the speed bumps, not risking overtaking on a single lane highway. He would always stop for photo op, and asks us if we are ready to go.

An unforgettable experience in Maasai Mara
5/5

We visited Maasai Mara in February for a few days and this was truly one of the most amazing experiences and an unforgettable one.
We had the chance to see incredible wildlife during our safari and our guide did a great job at spotting the animals and giving us a first row view of them.
I would definetely recommend this tour and will be using them in future if I come back to the region!

Camptrek Safaris went the extra mile and surpassed our expectations by a lot
5/5

Our guide was extremely friendly and encouraged us to ask any questions we had in mind. This set an extremely friendly and open environment from the first few minutes.

During the tour we saw every single animal we hoped and felt that he made extra efforts to accommodate everything we needed while always giving us informative and funny bits. Our second outing was 8 hours long but went by quickly. In the last 2 hours we were alone with a Lion and then witnessed a Leopard eating its prey up on a tree!

Loved it.

Unforgettable experience
5/5

We were lucky enough to see every animal specie that lives in the Maasai Mara, even rare ones. We were amazed by herds of zebras and gazelles, solitary cheetahs, sleepy crocodiles, hunting lionesses, a majestic lion, and even a leopard eating his prey on a tree.
It was my first safari ever and I never thought I would be in awe the whole time. I highly recommend this experience to everyone.
