Well planes, good communication and superb guide
Had a great intense Safari. My guide Baraka was very competent and had great patience with even the most demanding fellow travelers. Communications with the agency was good, no fuss at all…
A wonderful 6 day tour of 3 game parks - Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara, saw the big 5 + much more!
From the beginning Margaret and John of Camptrek were excellent, their professional manner and attention to detail filled us with confidence they could deliver the wonderful safari they described. They always responded to queries promptly and with their help we finalised the details of the holiday.
Our driver/guide, Steven, was such a good driver and his wildlife knowledge and knowledge of Kenya were outstanding. He has a map in his head we were sure! He always found the game and got in the best spots to view and photograph. Everything worked exactly to plan, we felt from the outset we were in very capable hands. Even our balloon ride on the final morning - something we’d definitely say was worth that bit extra for!
The lodges and hotels were lovely and very comfortable, the staff there too were equally attentive. The food and choices were always very good.
As for the safaris, well they should be a must on everyone’s bucket list. Kenya is a beautiful beautiful country, the climate is wonderful, be a bit careful with the midday sun and mozzies, but that’s all easy to handle. The people are all so helpful and want to please. Do not underestimate the beauty this country, the scenery and the wildlife. It is just as stunning as all the photos you will see.
We felt Camptrek always gave us that little bit extra, a few lovely personal touches made it an unforgettable safari. We don’t usually do reviews, but we’d send anyone away with Camptrek. Helen and Derek.

Highly Recommend SAFARI GOATS!
I can wholeheartedly recommend SAFARI GOATS! We had Frank as our safari guide, and he made our experience unforgettable. From the moment we started, his professionalism stood out, and it was a joy to witness his own excitement when he spotted the animals. Frank is a safe and skilled driver, always making sure we got to see the wildlife up close and personal. He could spot animals from afar and would drive us to the perfect spots, ensuring we had unique and immersive encounters with nature. His timing and location knowledge were impeccable!
Not only did Frank have an incredible sense of where the animals were, but he was also incredibly knowledgeable. We could ask him anything, and he always had an answer. We learned so much during our safari, and it was refreshing to see someone so passionate about their work.
If you’re looking for an amazing safari experience, SAFARI GOATS is the way to go!

Wonderful full-inclusive safari experience
We did a safari and cultural tour in Mapungubwe, Venda and Kruger. Benjamin was available and professional in planning the tour following our requests. He is also very passionate about nature, so very helpful during the safari tour where we saw and learned about many animals. Accomodation and food (mostly cooked by him) were also perfect.

Simian Safaris KE organised a Memorable Tsavo and Mombasa Nyali beach experience.
I cannot thank Simian Safaris enough for organizing such a seamless and unforgettable three-day trip from Nairobi to Tsavo and Mombasa. As someone who prefers to avoid the hassle of planning, I truly appreciated how the team took care of every detail, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the experience.
My journey began with a visit to Tsavo National Park, where I was lucky enough to witness the majestic elephants grazing freely in their natural habitat. Seeing them with their young ones was a heartwarming reminder of how deeply animals care for each other. The park’s breathtaking hills made for a perfect backdrop, and I couldn’t help but snap countless photos to capture the sheer beauty of it all. Kenya’s landscapes are truly unmatched.
The next stop was Nyali Beach in Mombasa, which, despite being busy due to the holiday season, was still the perfect destination to unwind. There’s simply no better way to experience Mombasa than by soaking in the sun and enjoying the inviting waves. I spent hours basking in the warmth and watching the sunset paint the sky in the most beautiful colors. In the evening, I headed to English Point Marina, where the live band was absolutely amazing. The carefully chosen songs, paired with the stunning beach views, created a magical atmosphere. The Christmas decorations added an extra touch of charm, especially the beautifully adorned Christmas tree. To top it off, the food experience was exceptional—everything I could have asked for and more.
On my final day, I ventured to English Point Marina Beach, which was a hidden gem. Unlike the busier Nyali Beach, this one was tranquil and pristine, offering a refreshing escape. As I walked along the shore, the view of Mombasa city across the water made it feel even more special. I joined the local boys playing football but couldn’t resist the call of the water. Swimming here was pure therapy, and I left feeling rejuvenated and completely at peace.
As a traveler who prefers not to deal with the stresses of planning, I’m grateful for how Simian Safaris made everything easy and enjoyable.
From their supportive customer service to the recommendations for places to visit, every moment was a highlight.
A big thank you to Simian Safaris for curating such a wonderful trip.

Budget Experience that had it all
We had a great experience on our 3 day “budget” trip. I highly recommend booking a 4x4. The vehicle and accommodations exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, Roger, was reliable, prompt, and did everything he could to make sure we enjoyed our Game Drive. I was very pleased to have Roger and his expertise. The safari was thrilling! Lucy was professional and responsive throughout the booking process. I highly recommend!
