Excellent care from start to finish
We booked a joining safari for 4 days and it was amazing. The combination of 2 days Serengeti, and one day Tarangire and Ngorongoro was the perfect fit for us. This way we completed the Big Five pretty easily.
The Porcupine organization was really caring and made us feel like family. We received meals in Arusha on the day of arrival and day of departure for free and even the transport to the airport. Also we didn’t have to bother buying water because it was also cared for.
Choosing Porcupine was a very good choice and we would recommend. Also our driver Alan and cook Fedastian on the Safari did a really good job!

A dream safari with our fantastic guide Fitiael Nanyaro
We had an incredible safari trip in Tanzania with Whistling Travel. Our guide Fitiael Nanyaro is extremely knowledgeable and patient. He spoke English slowly for us since our English is poor. We saw the Big Five and many wonderful wildlife moments. Highly recommend him and this company

Splendid Vacation and Safari!
Such a splendid vacation and safari!
👍 Consultant: Alice 5/5
We booked our 10-day Kenya-Tanzania round trip safari nearly half a year in advance. Our consultant, Alice, was exceptionally professional and thoughtful. She provided us with a detailed itinerary and was always quick and helpful in answering all our questions. She also kindly arranged our airport transfers.
👍 Guide: Rono 5/5
During our trip, our guide in Kenya, Rono, was passionate, highly experienced, and amazingly knowledgeable. He could identify individual animals and knew their family background! In Maasai Mara, we were lucky enough to witness amazing wildlife interactions—buffalos chasing lions, as well as a cheetah and a lion hunting gazelles, along with so many other wild animals. In Amboseli, we were treated to a clear view of the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro and had the privilege of meeting Michael, the famous 35-year-old elephant. The entire experience was truly incredible and unforgettable!
Besides, we spent a memorable time in Tanzania with our guide, Abu. Although the road conditions in Tanzania were quite bumpy and dusty, and our jeep got two flat tires along the way, Abu handled everything quickly and efficiently. We successfully collected all Big Five in Ngorongoro Crater, perfect!
Overall, it was such a splendid and refreshing experience for us. We hope to come back again in the future!

A reliable travel agency that can handle every detail, making sure clients' trips go smoothly.
Before our trip, I got in touch with three different tour operators on Safaribooking. Camptrek Safaris responded the fastest out of all of them. I must give a special shout‑out to Margaret. Even with the time‑zone difference, she replied to me really promptly, and she even has WeChat. Margaret adjusted our itinerary according to my preferences and budget, and briefed us on all travel arrangements well ahead of time. The operator was extremely reliable for the whole trip. All pick‑ups, transfers and game drives took place exactly as planned.Before the safari started, she even gave my friend and me each a custom‑printed mug with our names on it, which really touched us.
Our guide Robert was very experienced. He gave detailed briefings on wildlife and had wide‑ranging local contacts across the African savanna, which helped us locate the Big Five. He manoeuvred the vehicle into perfect positions for wildlife viewing and photos. Robert was a great driver. The savanna is full of deep potholes and the roads are incredibly bumpy, but he slowed down and tried his best to steer clear of those holes for us. The safari vehicle was comfortable and clean, and plenty of drinking water was provided in the back seats. One minor point: Robert’s photography skills could be better. Total straight‑guy aesthetic, hahaha.
When it comes to value for money, we thought the price was reasonable for a private custom‑built safari. The recommended accommodations fit our budget, and every service stated in the contract was provided in full, with zero hidden charges.
This trip was truly unforgettable. While travelling, we heard bad experiences from other Chinese tourists regarding unreliable tour agencies. Some landed in Nairobi with no one to meet them, and there were even cases of operators disappearing entirely. If you are planning an East Africa safari and want a dependable operator with transparent communication and high‑quality service, Camptrek Safaris is strongly recommended. We would definitely book with them again and recommend them to other travellers.

Couldn’t have been better!
Great group of people with focused customer service. Godfrey, the owner and primary guide, has many years of experience guiding. He seems to actually think like the animals. In one location while watching two lioness’, he said to us, wait, she’s getting ready to hunt. And she did. We got a nice view of her chasing down a wildebeest, who actually won the race that day. We saw the great migrations two days in a row! Lodging was great. They even accommodated an extra day chilling in Arusha for jet lag recovery. And don’t miss Materuni Falls if you’re up for a 5 km hike. Beautiful. Shout out to Maureen too. Thank you for a perfect trip.

It was a spectacular experience. Our guide, a very kind, patient, and accommodating man, was a tireless worker. He always had a smile and the best attitude at all times. The hotels and their staff were very friendly. The safari itself is a unique and unforgettable experience.
