A Trip of a Lifetime with Camptrek Safaris
A Trip of a Lifetime with Camptrek Safaris
Our 15-day Kenya and Tanzania safari with Camptrek Safaris was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the very beginning to the very end, everything was incredibly well planned and organized, and we could not have asked for a better experience.
A special thank-you goes to Rose, who was so patient and helpful while planning our trip. She took the time to answer all of our questions and helped put together an itinerary that gave us an amazing variety of experiences. Once we arrived, our guides Ben, Shobani, and Robet made the safari even more special. They were knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and always worked hard to make sure we had the best possible experience.
We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, along with several incredible leopard and lion sightings and lots of elephants in Amboseli, with the beautiful backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. The Masai Mara and Serengeti were massive parks with animals seemingly everywhere we looked. Every park we visited was different in its own way, and each one gave us new and exciting experiences.
One of the highlights was our hot-air balloon ride over the Masai Mara. Seeing the landscape and wildlife from above was absolutely breathtaking and something we will never forget. We were also lucky enough to witness a Great Migration river crossing, which was an incredible and unforgettable experience.
Visiting a Masai village was another meaningful part of our journey. We enjoyed meeting the people, learning about their culture and traditions, and hearing about how they live. It gave us a greater appreciation for the people and communities that are such an important part of Africa.
The Ngorongoro Crater was fascinating as well. It was amazing to see so many different animals living within such a unique and beautiful area. Everywhere we went, there was something new to discover.
We were also very pleased with the accommodations, meals, transportation, and overall organization of the trip. Everything was handled so well, which allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment without having to worry about the details.
This safari was so much more than just seeing incredible wildlife. It was the people we met, the places we visited, the incredible experiences we shared, and the memories we created together. Every day brought something special, and we came home with memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
We highly recommend Camptrek Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. They made our trip an incredible experience from beginning to end, and we are so grateful for everything they did to make our trip of a lifetime so memorable.
Safari for the heart
I knew our safari would be magical, however, I wasn’t prepared for the healing, connection, and restoration it brought to my heart and spirit.
We were in a group of 11 traveling through Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar. Everything was seamless - from CampTrek’s help prior to leaving with required paperwork, the countless connections, each hotel was a magnificent experience (AMARI MARA WOW WOW WOW!!), the food and coffee are incredible (you will not go hungry!!), the hot air balloon ride is worth every penny, the animals and scenery leave you in awe, and the best part - meeting such bright, generous, loving people.
I am filled with gratitude and still trying to process and hold tight to how my life has changed. A special thanks to John, Ben, Simon, Augustin, and Margaret for making our trip so beautiful - my heart is overflowing. Africa truly is a feeling!!
John was professional, organized, a wealth of information during his tours.
Everything went smooth on camp treks side. They were all excellent with communication and assisting through the whole tour with anyone’s needs. They were very experienced with all parks and had a tremendous amount of knowledge about animals, habitat, cultures, and the lay of the land. They went out of their way to make sure you were safe and took great stride in finding the animals and giving you the chance to have fantastic photos and memories for a life time. The hotels and campsites we stayed at were all hospitable and the food was great. We saw so many animals. You felt like you were in the National Geographic documentary. It was so amazing. A feeling of awe and wonder. I highly recommend Camp Trek. John, Simon, and Benson were great at their jobs. Best company and tour ever. Thank you all.
Superior
Did not do the booking so could not look up particulars on website. Consequently, didn’t quite know what to expect, and was more than pleasantly surprised at the amenities and luxury.
The “camps” —The safari “camps“ were definitely “glamping” — our “tents’ all had running water, electricity, flush toilets, and usually plenty of hot water for shower. One even had a giant bathtub to soak in. I have stayed in motels that were not as nice as these places. The food at each camp was superior and plentiful, esp the soups,. There were multiple entrée choices and plenty of fresh fruit. There were two vegetarians in our group and they did not have a problem satisfying their appetites. To hear the noises of the wild animals at night was magical. One place (surrounded by an obscure electrical fence) had built a cement watering hole and we dined, watching elephants and other animals sip from the pool. Other camps posted guards at night to ward off any problematic animals that might enter. But waking up to piles of zebra poop or antelope droppings on your “front lawn“ was a trip.
The guides - this was a two country tour so we had different guides and vehicles in Kenya and Tanzania, allowing each to be an expert in the knowledge of his country, the preserves, and animals. Each was a wealth of information and could / would answer just about any question you asked about their country, the parks we were in, the animals, and even background on themselves. Very personable, and expert drivers on the pothole filled roads in these countries. The “roads“ in the preserves were often nothing more than two tire tracks, and yet they seemed to know them all and where to go. But be prepared, definitely a bumpy ride. They did their utmost to find the animals for us— and they did!! There is a sign in the Nairobi airport that defines Safari as ‘an outing where most of the day is predictable except what you actually came to see’. And while this may be true, the guides made sure that we got to see everything we wanted. And every night they washed and cleaned up the vehicle so the windows would be free of the ubiquitous dust. When a tour guest had a problem or issue, they did their utmost to resolve it ( MANY thx to you, Simon!!). They also helped us navigate immigration between Kenya and Tanzania, which was a chaotic zoo.
The write-up on this tour says extra binoculars, beanbags for cameras, and ladders for seniors are available. You may have to ask for these in advance as they were not automatically supplied. (The 70+ y/o members of our group, were quite agile and had no need of a ladder). The guides had a (singular) pair of binoculars that they were happy to share if people did not bring their own.
Having a few days of “cool down“ on the beaches in Zanzibar was a great way to end the trip after so many days of Safari.
The one – – and only one – – downside that I can note on this trip was that after being pampered in Kenya with Wi-Fi and each seat having a charger for your electronics, is that it was a bit of a letdown to not have them working in the Tanzania cars. But of course we had all brought our own chargers anyway.
As a sidenote, I long for the “Zen“ that our driver John had. Hakuna Matata!
Sawa-sawa
