A Trip of a Lifetime with Camptrek Safaris
A Trip of a Lifetime with Camptrek Safaris
Our 15-day Kenya and Tanzania safari with Camptrek Safaris was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the very beginning to the very end, everything was incredibly well planned and organized, and we could not have asked for a better experience.
A special thank-you goes to Rose, who was so patient and helpful while planning our trip. She took the time to answer all of our questions and helped put together an itinerary that gave us an amazing variety of experiences. Once we arrived, our guides Ben, Shobani, and Robet made the safari even more special. They were knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and always worked hard to make sure we had the best possible experience.
We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, along with several incredible leopard and lion sightings and lots of elephants in Amboseli, with the beautiful backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. The Masai Mara and Serengeti were massive parks with animals seemingly everywhere we looked. Every park we visited was different in its own way, and each one gave us new and exciting experiences.
One of the highlights was our hot-air balloon ride over the Masai Mara. Seeing the landscape and wildlife from above was absolutely breathtaking and something we will never forget. We were also lucky enough to witness a Great Migration river crossing, which was an incredible and unforgettable experience.
Visiting a Masai village was another meaningful part of our journey. We enjoyed meeting the people, learning about their culture and traditions, and hearing about how they live. It gave us a greater appreciation for the people and communities that are such an important part of Africa.
The Ngorongoro Crater was fascinating as well. It was amazing to see so many different animals living within such a unique and beautiful area. Everywhere we went, there was something new to discover.
We were also very pleased with the accommodations, meals, transportation, and overall organization of the trip. Everything was handled so well, which allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment without having to worry about the details.
This safari was so much more than just seeing incredible wildlife. It was the people we met, the places we visited, the incredible experiences we shared, and the memories we created together. Every day brought something special, and we came home with memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
We highly recommend Camptrek Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. They made our trip an incredible experience from beginning to end, and we are so grateful for everything they did to make our trip of a lifetime so memorable.

An exceptional experience from beginning to end!!
We first spoke with Almachius to organize our safari, and he was extremely attentive from the very beginning. He really understood what we were looking for and created an itinerary that perfectly matched our expectations. The lodges he selected were all very well chosen, with beautiful settings and some truly unforgettable moments, including enjoying a drink at sunset while watching buffalo just a few meters away!
But what truly made this safari so special was our guide, Barikhi. He is an exceptional person: warm, kind, passionate and incredibly attentive, while always knowing when to give us space and simply let us enjoy the moment. Over the course of the safari, he shared so much of his knowledge with us, but above all, he passed on his genuine love and respect for wildlife and nature.
What we particularly loved was his approach to safari. Rather than chasing animals or trying to get as close as possible at all costs, his philosophy was to observe, be patient and appreciate whatever nature chose to show us. He taught us to take our time, understand animal behavior and really observe what was happening around us. Watching a lioness hunt from a distance, understanding her movements and trying to anticipate what she might do next can be just as extraordinary as seeing her from only a few meters away.
Beyond his knowledge and professionalism, we will especially remember the moments we shared with him, his kindness and his passion. After spending several days together, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye at the end of the safari!
A huge thank you to Almachius and Meru Slopes for organizing such a wonderful trip, and especially to Barikhi for making this experience so memorable. If we were to go on safari again tomorrow, we would choose to go with Meru Slopes without hesitation!

Amazing East Africa Safari Experience with KLA Adventures
We had an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable safari experience across Kenya and Tanzania with KLA Adventures where from the very first stage of planning, Khery Nestory our Safari Tour Consultant was professional, patient, helpful and responsive he took the time to answer all of our questions and made the entire planning process easy and stress-free his support continued throughout our trip including after we arrived in Kenya and Tanzania which gave us great confidence and peace of mind.
In Kenya, we were fortunate to have Joseph as our guide he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about wildlife he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and was always happy to share his knowledge about wildlife behaviour, nature and the animals we encountered.
In Tanzania, we met PrayGod who took us to the beautiful Kikuletwa Hot Springs and later accompanied us on our Hadzabe cultural experience around Lake Eyasi.
PrayGod was extremely friendly, professional, approachable so for generally PrayGod is an excellent safari guide and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional and caring guide in Tanzania.
So we would definitely recommend KLA Adventures to anyone planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania from the careful planning before our arrival to the excellent guides and unforgettable experiences during the trip everything was handled with professionalism and care.
Special thanks to Khery Nestory, Joseph and PrayGod for making our East Africa safari such a fantastic and memorable experience

Responsiveness and professional
Our experience (a family of four) was truly extraordinary. From the planning, which took place months before departure, during which we explored various options and, thanks to Dominic's excellent advice, we were able to plan a tailor-made tour (Masai Mara, Nakuru Lake, Amboseli, Tsavo, departing from Nairobi and ending in Diani Beach).
The accommodations were excellent (perhaps I would prefer a lodge at the Masai Mara rather than the good tented camp, even if it meant spending a little more). I also found the total cost and overall quality of the services to be very good.
Besides, a special mention goes to our driver. James is so much more than just a driver. While always attentive and cautious, he expresses a natural hunting instinct in the savannah. He is determined and tenacious in his pursuit of animals, and was able to show us all of them on multiple occasions.
Opting for a private tour also allowed us to manage the timing and game drives as we pleased.
When Africa will call me again I will return with Kentau Safaris.

Great experience !
This safari was amazing! I’m honestly at a loss for words when it comes to the Masai Mara — it’s definitely a must-do when visiting Kenya.
Peter Elohim, our guide, was great! We had such a good time with him, and I 100% recommend him!!
However, we would have appreciated it if the agency had been more specific and transparent about Amboseli National Park. They should have given us more information beforehand so that we could have made a more informed choice. Had we known, we would have skipped Amboseli and opted for a 4–5 day safari instead.
In our opinion, 3 days in the Masai Mara and 2 days in Nakuru would have been perfect!
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we will cherish the memories of this safari for a long time.

Our guide Titus was knowledgeable and well experienced. The operator managed everything really well.
It was a perfect trip. The guide knew all the spots, routes inside the parks and we witnessed a couple of lost drivers/guides stop us and ask for directions. Very reliable and well managed safari.

overall we had a really great experience - but the 1 day full on Safari was pretty exhausting
The communication via e-mail beforehand with Jessica from Lekobe Adventures Safaris was really good, we had all the informations we needed and she was always friendly.
The communication in Zanzibar with the people who coordinated our flight and the payment was not 100% smooth, e.g. at first we were told the flight is at 4pm but then it was at 3pm but apparently that's quite normal that the flight times to the mainland change on short notice (Jessica had told me this in advance). And although it said on the booking description that on the first day a lunch would be included we didn't get any, that was a little frustrating because we were quite hungry. And then in the evening the dinner was very late but we had to go to the night game drive so we couldn't enjoy the really good food (!) as we would've and even couldn't finish the dinner.
But these things were basically the only things that were not good.
The flight to Tanzania was short and all good - we even had the possibility to have a look into the cockpit and take photos!
At the Nyerere "airport" our guide was already awaiting us and we were excited to find out that we were the only two in the jeep (although I had booked a shared safari and there would've been space for up to 6 people). Our guide Tiko was super friendly and giving his best to give us the best Safari experience and see as many animals as possible in the short time (3h night game drive + from 7am-3pm the next day with a lunch break) and take great photos & videos - a camera with a good zoom really pays off here!
Sadly we couldn't find any lions the whole day (but neither did any of the other Safari tour jeeps that we met) but we saw (baby) elephants really close which isn't guaranteed either and we just enjoyed being in the Tanzanian bush - the vastness and variety of the landscape is amazing!
In the afternoon we had a boat trip and although we were already pretty exhausted from the 7-8h safari in the jeep before, we enjoyed it a lot. We saw lots of crocodiles, birds & hippos and could enjoy the beauty of God's creation before we had to go back to civilisation in the evening. Although we were so tired, our flight back to ZNZ was early in the morning the next day. So, all in all, it was only a one day Safari + the 3h night game drive.
As said, overall we had a really great experience but it was also pretty exhausting. Next time, I would like to do a longer Safari with less programm in one day, and I could imagine booking with Lekobe Adventures Safaris again. :)
And not to forget: our stay at Mufasa tented camp was amazing! The staff were very friendly, the food was excelent and we felt safe the whole time.
