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 ❤️

Reliable
I had a great experience booking a 12 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Camptrek Safaris. We went to Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park, Masai Mara National Reserve, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, and Tarangire National Park.
From the start, Margaret was extremely helpful and accommodating in assisting planning and booking the safari beforehand. I had many questions and added or changed a few things in the itinerary, and she answered promptly in detail and easily changed the itinerary when asked. She was friendly the whole time and never made me feel like I was bothering her with questions. She also helped me book a flight for the end of the safari because the airline's website wasn't working for me. I highly recommend working with Margaret to plan your trip!
Once I arrived in Nairobi, Margaret was there waiting for me at the airport with a clear sign when I exited customs, which took an immensely long time, yet she was still patiently waiting there! The flight was delayed and customs took probably over an hour, so I was thankful that Margaret was willing to wait so long and late at night for me. The taxi van that took me to the first hotel was very nice, too.
I had 2 guides and 2 vehicles - one for Kenya and one for Tanzania.
Julius Pilipili was my first guide and I would give him 5 stars! He was very friendly, upbeat, and excellent overall. He had an interest in photography, so he was able to understand angles and light very well and set me up with great positions for shots without me needing to even ask. I don't know if I even asked once for him to move where we stopped the vehicle… He just automatically knew where to stop. He really has a talent for guiding. We saw a ton of animals (big 5 included)! I definitely don't think you'll be disappointed having him guide you.
Both guides were knowledgeable about the wildlife giving interesting fun facts and always had answers if I asked. If you are serious about photography, I would highly recommend trying to get Julius to guide the whole trip because that's what I would want next time! I was really impressed with him and liked his energy.
The hotels were all very nice and enjoyable. Beautiful rooms with many having good views. I even got upgraded because of a misunderstanding, and I really appreciated that Camptrek Safaris listened to my concern and responded in a way that let me know that they cared about my experience and wanted to make it up to me. It would make me feel comfortable to book again with them in the future knowing that if any other issues were to arise, they would be willing to listen and help.
Overall, the whole experience with them was great! I was a little nervous beforehand booking with Camptrek Safaris since they don't have quite as many reviews as some of the other companies I came across, but I was looking to support a smaller business employing locals and they also offered some of the best pricing I inquired about, while also being more responsive than some others. I can assure you after my experience though, they are legit and I think anyone would really enjoy their trip with them!

Communication is key for choosing a safari tour company
We traveled with a group of 11 friends and Camptrek proved to be so much better than expected. Our unrelenting questions were completely and honestly answered by John or Lucy at all hours. The 10 day safari was customized specifically for us and was truly phenomenal. John and our wonderful, talented drivers, Pili Pili and Benson, went above and beyond to give us the trip of a lifetime. They made sure we saw every animal we came to see and then some, multiple times. We visited three national parks and our accommodations were all top notch. Not one negative comment. Thank you Camptrek! Africa is a feeling!!

This was a trip of a lifetime!
We could not have been more delighted with our first 10-day wildlife migration safari. For years we dreamed of experiencing such a journey, and when the opportunity arose to travel with nine of our close friends, we knew we had to seize it.
Our adventure began and ended in Nairobi this past August, and from the moment we arrived, Camptrek Safaris Limited ensured that every detail was seamlessly taken care of. From accommodations and meals to park fees, game drives, and drivers, everything was perfectly arranged at a very reasonable cost.
We arrived at The Boma Hotel in Nairobi late at night, where Lucy, our Camptrek contact, graciously met us and helped with an effortless check-in. The hotel was comfortable and welcoming, and my husband and I even had the chance to enjoy reasonably priced massages during our downtime.
The following morning, two nearly new Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs awaited us at the hotel entrance. Equipped with chargers and ice chests, the vehicles were spotless and well maintained, making our travel both comfortable and enjoyable.
A highlight of our trip was a dawn hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara, which concluded with a champagne bush breakfast—an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Equally moving was our cultural tour of a Maasai village led by Helen Nkuraiya, the director and founder who is committed to providing education and opportunity for women and girls. This meaningful visit was a thoughtful and authentic alternative to the typical Maasai village tour.
Throughout the journey, our guide Papa John and drivers Benson and PiliPili were outstanding. Their skillful driving, deep knowledge of wildlife, and warm personalities made every game drive extraordinary. We were fortunate to see the Big Five along with countless other species, and each day brought new and thrilling encounters.
By the end of our safari, we found ourselves in tears of joy, overwhelmed with gratitude for the experiences, the wildlife, and the friendships that made this trip so special. This was truly the adventure of a lifetime, and we cannot thank Camptrek Safaris enough for making it possible.
