Patrick with Shanjoy Tours and Safaris was the complete and best accommodating operator
This was my first safari and Patrick with Sanjoy Tours provided a wonderful day-to-day experience. From the moment I left the hotel and traveled to begin the safari I felt comfortable, excited, and completely enthralled with the beauty of the landscape, scenery, and all of the many types of animals.
Our driver provided detailed information about the different types of topography and animals.
I highly recommend a Safari African Tour with Sanjoy.

Efficient organization and lovely dedication that allows to discover and enjoy the beauty of Kenia
I had the luck of having James Gichina and Johnny Jackson as drivers of this amazing trip through 4 Reserves and Natural Parks. You notice how relentless they were in the pursuit of finding the big 5 five and the best possible shot and educating you about the natural live and its mysteries.
Even that, the nature has its own ways in the games and it was not possible to spot all of them, specially the leopard although all efforts. I hope for it at my return.

Amazing experience in East Africa
I'm incredibly happy that we chose to book our safari with Camptrek.
I have done my fair share of travelling, and have been the person to do the research and booking for everything on all prior trips I have made, so I was a little nervous about planning a trip for africa where I would have to give over that aspect to a tour company. This ended up being a non issue, as Margaret and John were very easy to communicate with and very accomodating to our requests. They made sure everything was perfectly planned and had no issues creating multiple itineraries tailored to our wants.
We ended up deciding on an private safari, which had us visiting Rwanda and Uganda to see mountain gorillas, and Kenya and Tanzania for a more traditional Safari. We started in Kigali Rwanda and ended in Arusha Tanzania. Logistically everything went incredibly smooth, and outside of a borderline nonsensical drive to get from Masai Mara to neighbouring Serengeti (not their fault, but it is worth noting that despite being right beside eachother, there is almost a full travel day to go from one to the other due to the border location), the trip flowed very well. All of our lodging was amazing as well.
Once we arrived in Rwanda we were greeted by our first wonderful guide, Godfrey. He was incredibly friendly and made sure everything went perfectly for the gorilla trekking portion of our Safari. We visited a park I had never heard of before, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, and had an amazing experience with the mountain gorillas. Probably one of the most amazing things ive ever done in my life. We are already thinking about taking a future trip to Uganda, as there were many more parks in the country, and the people were incredibly welcoming.
When we arrived in Kenya we met our next guide Steve. Steve was an absolutely amazing driver, he was incredibly passionate about his work, and knowledgable about the parks and animals. He was in constant communication with the other drivers and made sure that if anything interestering happened while we were in the park that we were front and centre to see it. We saw dozens of lions, cheetahs, rhinos, and other amazing animals from mere feet away.
When we crossed over to Tanzania we met our next guide Simon. Simon was very friendly and went out of his way to help us out. Our game drives in Tanzania were quite eventful and we were able to see alot of animals. We had a late flight out of Arusha, and Simon went out of his way to adjust our plans to squeeze in an extra game drive in the morning, and took us to grab some things we needed in town. I really appreciated that, as he was under no obligation to do that.
Overall everything was perfect. If I were to book this trip again I would happily do so with Camptrek.

Best Safari in Tanzania and unforgettable experience
Although I travelled by myself, I had my own Safari with one driver and one photographer from Kiriwi.
- The route arranged by Kiriwi is ideal. It covers all best highlight of Tanzania. I saw all different landscapes and animals.
- The driver is very experienced. He always finds out the best spot to view animals.
- The photographer is highly skilled. He shared with me photograph skills and helped me make a couple of great photos and videos.
- The Safari itself is in very good condition. The roof design enables me to see animals while protecting me from sunshine. I can also charge my battery in the Safari, which is very convenient. There are plenty of water for me to take as well.
- All hotels and camps on the journey are in very good condition.
- The driver and the photographer are very nice. We become friends in the end.
I especially want to highlight the mass migration part. You cannot miss that. It is just amazing. There are much more animals compared to the Kenya side. I feel so happy to choose Kiriwe to accompany my journey!

very good in organizing
We participated in a safari for four days and we are very satisfied. Our driver Albert made this time worthwhile. His driving was excellent, he was capable in finding all the animals, we were interested in. He gave us a lot of information on details regarding these animals. In addition to these tasks he had to remember who was staying where and when to pick everybody up and also when tourists had to change vehicles to go to different places. He could not have done his job in a better way.

Made sure we had a great time
We had three unforgettable days with Plex Africa Safaris! The full day in the national park was amazing and we saw so many animals. Our tour guide Abel was really experienced and always made sure we had a great time.

Perfect organization and great employees!
We had a perfect two-day safari in the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. We can definitely recommend Mountain Warriors! Everything was very well organized and with our guides Innocent and Mbwana as well as our local contact Miriam, we had really nice and competent people to accompany us. I'd love to book with this company!

tailor made to taste
second time we booked with Grassrootz. I know Uganda pretty well so we clearly indicated what we were looking for and we got - with some very accommodating tweaking and tuning - exactly that: basic but decent accommodations, a great driver/guide who knew a lot and was super helpful and the right balance between the tourist experience and the local experience. Sander did some good recoomendations that perfectly matched what we were looking for.
