Good safari experience - with room for improvements
Overall, the safari was good, the staff were friendly, and the company is trustworthy. What surprised us was that no guide was included, even though we expected one based on information from others who had traveled with this company. Shortly before the trip, we asked whether a dedicated guide would travel with us and were assured that the driver alone would be sufficient. In my opinion, it wasn't. Don't get me wrong: our driver was excellent—agile, well-oriented, always getting us to the right spot at the right time—but since he was focused on driving, we had to look up information about the animals, nature, and parks ourselves.
That said, we still had plenty of breathtaking moments. The vehicle was reliable and did the job, even if not the most modern we saw during our safari. I would also suggest ensuring that the safari plan is prepared in detail and closely followed, as this helps to avoid missing important landmarks.
In general, I can recommend the company.

good service and communication
Our safari with Tom from Axis Africa Safaris was a fantastic experience. From the start, he was attentive, friendly, and really made the trip feel personal. What stood out most was the way he tailored the itinerary — for example, he made the effort to take us to the bridge at the river where we could walk with rangers, which was such a special moment. When we had to switch guides for an extra night in the Masai Mara, we immediately noticed the difference — Tom truly went above and beyond to make the days exciting and memorable. His sharp eye for spotting animals and his knowledge made every sighting more meaningful, and his humor and warmth made the drives a joy.
On the logistical side, there were a few things that could be improved by the operator. On the way back, the drive ended up being 5 hours instead of the expected 2 to Lake Nakuru, as we had to drop other people off first. The vegetarian lunch boxes also could have been better, as they didn’t really include much protein. That said, the hotels along the way were good, and overall Tom’s guiding made this safari truly unforgettable.

Amazing safari with Tom from Axis Africa
We had an incredible safari experience with Tom as our guide from Axis Africa Safaris. From the very beginning, he was attentive, friendly, and full of positive energy. Tom made sure to always check what we wanted to do and adapted the days to our wishes, which made the trip feel really personal.
Thanks to his sharp eye and deep knowledge, we were able to spot so many animals — lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and many others. Each sighting came with clear, engaging explanations that helped us understand animal behavior and the ecosystem better. On top of that, Tom’s sense of humor and positive attitude made every drive fun and memorable.
I can highly recommend Tom to anyone planning a safari with Axis Africa Safaris. He truly made our trip unforgettable!

Exceeded expectations
We took a 5 day mid range tour with Nestory who was absolutley lovely and dedicated to his career.
The car was comfortable and well
Kept. (Missing seat belts in back seat as it had just had a car fridge put in to keep
Cold drinks and hadn’t been Replaced)
Only one days miscommunication about timings but did not occur again and the trip Was reliable and considerate.
Our accommodations were superb! Could not fault the choices at all. The meals provided at the lodges were all fantastic.
Lunches were repetitive and could do with some fresh fruit.
We also feel the mix of mid range and budget in the car, while Understandable really did not help us at all as we spent on average an extra 1.5 to 2 hrs a day in the car transporting between their accommodation and ours which meant we really didn’t get to enjoy our lodgings at all.
We visited Tanganire National Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Nestor was a skilled driver and a very knowledgeable guide and well
Regarded among his peers. He made sure we saw the Big Five and everything else
Possible .Erika and I thank you for making our trip Of a lifetime so memorable.

Incredible customer focussed & passionate guides
29 days Ultimate safari adventure
To summarise if you want the very best safari adventure choose Camptrek safaris.
I promise, you will not be disappointed. I was blown away. I cannot praise or recommend them highly enough.
Looking for a bespoke safari adventure with specific needs I contacted many companies both in the UK & in East Africa
From the moment I contacted Camptrek safaris I just knew this was the company that could fulfill my dreams.
I spent many hours researching and had hundreds of questions. Each one was answered quickly & professionally by Lucy & occasionally John at any time of the day or evening.
Most of the Lodges & Tented camps suggested by Lucy were amazing. Always in a great area in each of the national parks we travelled through to get the very best out of our days.
Internal flights again were planned meticulously & a different guide was waiting at each different area of both Kenya & Tanzania.
Patience & respect was always shown by Lucy when we changed the itinerary numerous times to ensure not a moment was wasted.
Cost was extremely reasonable & far cheaper than some “reputable “ UK companies who were choosing much cheaper lodges
We booked our flights separately & were delayed by KLM . I contacted Camptrek at the airport using WhatsApp. No worries. We were met at the airport after a 10 hour delay by Margaret & Peter who immediately took us on the Nairobi national park safari & continued with our full itinerary including a delicious lunch at the Carnivore restaurant, as if nothing had happened. So nothing was lost.
We had three different guides throughout our days on safari. Steven for the Amboseli region. Steven had great knowledge of the animals & birds in the area. We found cheetah on the first day & Lion twice. We really enjoyed his company & he was extremely good fun & professional at all times. We didn’t think we could find a better guide.
We met David our second guide for 11 days at Samburu airstrip who had the largest smile & happiest greeting you could wish for. Travelling through Samburu, Ol Pejeta, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha & finally the Masai Mara we had the best of times. Lots of fun & laughter & we had the most amazing sightings. I could write endlessly about the incredible experiences we witnessed. It was my husbands birthday in the Masai Mara. David made this day extra special & one we can never forget. We jokingly ordered leopard sightings. 🤪 the gods were on our side & it looked like he delivered. He made the day extra special with the Masai people singing at a bush breakfast & again at dinner.
David had such passion. He just seemed to have a sixth sense about animals. we saw leopard with a kill climb a tree. Countless lions,
Cheetah. The big 5 almost daily. He always managed to find the right place to be. He seemed to know & understand what the animal would do and so could find the right position before the crowds arrived resulting in the best photos. David treated us like his family. He is unforgettable.
The Landcruiser was spotless & cleaned every single day. The windows sparkled; the floor mats pristine. The jeep washed daily.
Both David & Steven picked us up early morning & delivered us back to camp at sunset. Not a moment was wasted.
And then we flew to Tanzania & met our third guide Shabani.
After such an amazing experience in Kenya we didn’t know what to expect.
Shabani was quieter but loved to learn & compare our lives. He was extremely conscientious & really tried his best to give us amazing experiences. We saw the great migration river crossings four times over a day and a half. Other guests in our lodge never saw one river crossing in those same days that we were there His patience was overwhelming We wanted to get the best photographs & he tried his very hardest to follow our instructions ensuring that we got the most unbelievable photos.
Driving from northern through to central Serengeti Shabani made each long journey memorable by going out of his way so that every possible sighting in the area could be had. We saw so many lion cheetah & leopards including cubs. Again the Land cruiser was cleaned daily. The windows sparkling not like many other companies we saw.
Shabani suggested we not follow the crowds but do our own sightings. His knowledge of central Serengeti was second to none driving along lesser known tracks to the mainstream & consequently we were rewarded with unforgettable moments; Such as a leopard family with month old cubs. Servals. Caracal & young cheetah cubs with their mother.
The last 3 days of our journeys through NGORONGORO & finally Tarangire national park were long days. Shabani made sure that he made the best of those journeys exploring different areas of the national parks so that we could get the most out of our days & unusual sightings.
We finally ended our holiday with a beach stay in Zanzibar. Please ensure that you have the mandatory travel insurance otherwise you must pay at the airport which is a cost of $44 each.
We were collected at the airport by a representative arranged by Camptrek.
We had some issues on arrival in Zanzibar & I contacted Camptrek immediately by WhatsApp John responded. The issues were discussed & resolved without question. I couldn’t have expected better service from anywhere.
It’s very refreshing to know that if any issues do arise. There is back up from the company no matter where or when.
I would recommend Camptrek safaris to anyone. You will be overwhelmed by their professionalism , courtesy honesty & superb passionate guides.
Nothing was ever too much for anyone in the company. This has been a holiday like no other. I cannot praise everyone in the company highly enough.
Camptrek: You are the very best. You deserve every success in the future.
Asante Sana John & your incredible team ❤️

The best in Kenya
Big Tom is our guide for the exciting 8 days journey. He is experienced and knowledgeable about the safaris. He keeps finding different species for us to see and promised us to see the Big 5, which we accomplished it in the 6th day.
Hotels, vehicles, everything is above standard. I would definitely suggest this tour to everyone.

Our Guide Stanley made out Safari unforgettable! A dream come true
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Jocky Tours—especially thanks to our amazing guide, Stanley! Communication with the office was smooth and efficient; every email we sent was answered quickly and clearly.
From the moment we arrived, we were told, “Your guide is a senior one, very experienced!”—and that couldn’t have been more true. Stanley was incredibly kind, polite, and patient throughout the entire trip. During our game drives, he shared fascinating insights about the wildlife and made sure we spotted not just the Big Five and the Ugly Five, but so many other incredible animals too. We even got lucky enough to witness lions and ostriches during their mating season!
Stanley always managed to find the perfect angles for our photos, making sure we captured every moment beautifully. Our six days were filled with laughter, unforgettable memories, and so many fun moments. This tour truly exceeded all my expectations of what a safari could be.
Huge thanks to Stanley and the entire Jocky Tours team for making this dream come true! From Nairobi to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Nakuru, and Amboseli Park—it was an adventure of a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend booking with this agency. Every penny spent is absolutely worth it!
