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.

Responsive tour operator with great local guides who helped us get the most out of our trip
We travelled in Kenya & Tanzania with Camptrek Safaris in October 24 visiting Amboseli, Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crate and Taragire. The office were very responsive to our queries and we were happy with the final itinerary.
We had an amazing trip and saw lots of wildlife, most notably many elephants, but also lions, cheetahs and leopard (albeit distantly), and of course zebra, giraffes, wildebeest etc.
Our driver guides were great, especially David, who we had in Kenya, he was so friendly and helpful as well as very knowledgeable and a good driver.
The accommodations were all lovely ( we opted for mid range places) especially those in / bordering the reserves, although we did have an issue with the one (fisherman’s camp) in Lake Navaisha, where they seemed to have accepted a better booking and shipped us off to a nearby house, that we then had to picked up from to go to dinner and breakfast. However David was great in sorting everything out and rearranging our itinerary to take account of the time this wasted.
The only negative was the vehicles which were rather old ( despite Camptrek advising me when we were planning the trip they were all recently purchased) both were around 10-15 years old and suffered mechanical issues ( the Kenya vehicle had no 1st gear)
Despite this we had a fabulous time and would recommend Camptrek, and David in particular.

Highly recommend best safari in Kenya
Our safari in Kenya exceeded all our expectations. Our guide, Steven is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and accommodating. He was always patient, helpful, and ensured we had the best possible experience. He made sure we saw all the best spots and we had a truly unforgettable experience. We saw so many amazing animals and learned so much about the Kenyan culture. Thank you for making our trip so special! I can't recommend him enough.

Fun, comfortable experience!
We were very well taken care of as everything was organised from airport transfer, border crossing, to all meals and drinks being provided.
Our safari guide Steve made the experience so much more enjoyable as he was very knowledgeable, had a great eye for spotting animals and was an all-round great guy!

From lodging and excursions to transportation, every element of the package was excellent. To make sure our trip was genuinely unique, they really went above and beyond. Anyone looking for a five-star holiday experience should definitely consider Camptrek Safaris.

John Njoroge, our driver rand tour guide
John was our caring driver. We traveled around Kenya in his strong new Toyota four by four jeep. He was a good safe driver, very knowledgeable about the people of Kenya, the politics, the area we were touring and the animals. The roads were non existent being mud tracks, gravel paths or fording rivers, making the journeys very bumpy but exciting. He would arrange a time to pick us up from our hotel, and was never late. If we wanted to deviate from our route he would be happy to try and help us. Kenya is a wonderful country, with wonderful people like John.

Unforgettable experience
John is the absolute best guide! My family and I had an unforgettable time thanks to John. He’s such and experienced guide who gave us a lot of educational information about all the animals we saw. He made sure to show us everything in Masai Mara. If you are planing a Safari in Africa, definitely book with John.
My family and I can’t wait for our next safari journey!

The Perfect 5-Day Kenya Safari
We booked a private 5-day safari. We communicated with manager Rose via WhatsApp, discussing all the details well in advance. We mentioned we wanted to visit three parks: Maasai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli. Ultimately, we were offered the perfect tour covering these parks. All our wishes were taken into account—we communicated at length and ultimately created the tour of our dreams.
We were met right at the airport, explained everything in detail, and then we headed straight to the safari. We were also given lovely souvenirs with the company logo upon arrival.
The driver-guide deserves special praise—Steven is a true professional. He actively communicated with the other drivers on the radio and drove quickly through the park—we ended up seeing absolutely every animal.
Everything was very flexible—we started at 6 am with a boxed breakfast.
Steven gave us very engaging stories about all the animals and Kenya in general.
On our last day, we were dropped off at the airport four hours before departure.
We recommend this company 100% - everything was perfect.

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 ❤️

Completely professional and made us feel like family!
I contacted many different Safari companies for quotes and Camptrek with Margaret was the most quick, professional, and thorough in their responses from the very beginning while also being extremely reasonably priced. Margaret worked with me throughout and arranged a safari with the exact dates I wanted and time in each place, minimizing travel since I was traveling with my older parents.
Every lodge and activity that Camptrek arranged for us was absolutely superb.
The lodges were all world class, with animals free roaming on the grounds and delicious food throughout.
My father was sick for a few days in between and the lodges were so accommodating about making him food that was easier on his stomach, delivering it to our rooms, and letting us leave later in the day, and being more than willing to have a physician come in to see him if we had wanted.
Our guide and driver Eric met us as the airport and dropped us back when our safari finished. He treated us better than family. When my mom had difficulty getting in and out of the high Jeep he went searching the small town outside our lodge to get a step stool for her to get in and out of the jeep. When my father got sick he took me from pharmacy to pharmacy searching for all the meds I had wanted. His eagle eye for spotting animals and his patience made our safari outing a joy where we saw every animal in the big 5 multiple times over.
Eric was funny, engaged, and full of facts about all the animals. He was willing to accommodate our every request and went out of his way to make us comfortable throughout.
I could not recommend Camptrek enough! They were true professionals and made sure we were looked after every moment of our time in Kenya.
