Dream Come True
Daniel helped us plan a fabulous trip to Kenya. He developed an itinerary based on our interests, time frame and budget. Our guide, Peter, was wonderful and worked hard to ensure we saw the animals and birds we were interested in, plus helped ensure we had good opportunities to photograph them. We came home with fabulous photographs and memories. The lodging was all very comfortable and each place was able to handle my food allergy. I cannot say enough about the people we met at each lodge. Their friendliness and caring made a great vacation special. We hope to take another trip with Transtrek Safaris.

Absolutely Amazing
We were introduced to Daniel through our son who lives in Nairobi. Daniel and Trans Trek exceeded any expectations we had going into this holiday and we ended up having the trip of a lifetime. Daniel contacted us immediately after we reached out and we gave him a general sense of what we had been thinking about. He put together a fabulous itinerary for us and gave us three options for accommodation at each location/park. He encouraged us to go on the individual websites to get a sense of the vibe/atmosphere of each as he said each of the camps offered something different. Each had their own personality and features and he wanted us to see which ones were a good fit for what we were looking for. We found this very helpful to read other reviews as well as looking at what others had experienced. Our driver/guide, Peter, was with us for the whole trip which was amazing. Peter has unbelievable spotting ability … he’s not only an excellent guide with an uncanny ability for spotting wildlife but he is also a lovely human being with a great sense of humour! Daniel was so clear in his recommendations and we were actually surprised at how good value the whole trip was, especially given the level of camps we selected, the tent accommodation, the food we ate and the service we received. His good and insightful advice was invaluable. Thanks so much.
Beyond my expections, beautiful, safe, exciting and fullfilling.
I would highly recommend using Transtrek for your safari. Daniel put together for us a bespoke first-time safari we wanted and the brilliant value for money became more apparent as the trip went on. The variety of areas we stayed and animals we saw was just incredible, Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and then the Masai Mara. Our driver Tony was wonderful company, had fantastic knowledge about where to find the animals and knew the name of every animal, bird and reptiles we saw. We had several experiences of seeing animals by ourselves which was magical, a herd of elephants, cheetah, crocs and hyenas to name but a few.
We felt very safe and enjoyed standing up in the jeep for most of the time, the best way to spot the animals. Got stunning photos, just with my iPhone because of Tonys skills getting us into great positions for the shots.
At Ol Pejeta we had a magical start to the trip where we meet the last two remaining northern white rhinos in the world and a blind black rhino called Baraka whom we were able to feed. We also visited the Jane Goodall chimp sanctuary all of which was incredibly moving. I would recommend going here and supporting the work they do at the Conservancy.
We also went on a boat to crescent island where you can walk freely amongst the animals with a guide as there are no predators on the island. Some of 'Out of Africa' were filmed there.
I have never seen so many birds as I did at the two lakes it was paradise. Over the trip we saw the big five as well as cheetahs, giraffes, zebra, eagles’ crocs, hippos, hyenas, so many antelopes and monkeys to name a few.
My friend and I feel in love with Kenya, it was a trip of a lifetime, don't hesitate, book it, you can thank me later.
Couldn't have been any better!
Just came back from a fantastic 9 day safari with Transtrek. They really provided the total package! Not only it was really easy to book with but the safari was an unforgettable experience which will stay with me forever. Daniel and Tony looked after us and after every single aspect of the trip, making it a one-off experience. If you are looking for a great safari, look no further!
Great personalised itinerary, service and experience - recommended
Nervous initially about booking with an independent company, we were swayed by personalised advice to better suit a family group and that they are UK bonded. There was no need to worry though, we were collected from the airport and escorted throughout and back to the airport, wonderful accommodation at Nairobi airport, Ol Pajeta, Lake Nakuru and Massai Mara. Everything was sorted for us, good value for money and it was a wonderful trip. I would recommend Transtrek, Daniel had all the planning covered and kept in touch, Peter is a knowledgeable guide, who went out of his way to give us all the experiences we sought. Their expertise, experience, knowledge and desire to shape a trip that was best suited to us was clear.
