Great Experience
5/5

I just returned home from the 8 day Kenya Highlands and Masai Mara safari. To say it was an incredible experience would be an understatement. From day 1, dealing with Daniel via email, was a pleasant experience. He was always very professional, helpful and always timely in his responses. As it was our first safari, I had a lot of questions and Daniel always answered them honestly. As for the safari itself, we were very pleased with the game drives that we did. We saw every animal you could imagine. Our driver, Tony, always went above and beyond to make sure we saw the animals that we wanted. Tony was a very knowledgeable, kind, funny man who made this trip that much more enjoyable. He always kept our safety as a first priority.The lodging was simple, yet always clean and safe. The food provided was amazing. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this company and this specific safari.

When you have one chance to go on a Safaris, go with the best, Transtrek.
5/5

Like most Westerns visiting Africa for the first time, and trying to make a decision on a safaris company was difficult. After, searching through the internet, and talking to the owner, Daniel, it was easy. I choose Transtrek Safaris because of the variety in a three night four day visit to three different Parks, the uniqueness in each lodging environment, reasonable price, a chance to see the magnificent animals of Africa and a reassuring conversation with Daniel. I was confident we would have a good time. All expectations came true. The drivers for our 13 person group were accommodating, attentive, and patient with all our questions. Driving though Africa is no easy feat and we welcomed a safe and comfortable ride with Moses, David and Ben . The lodges were just what one imagines in being planted in the backcountry of Africa, very comfortable, great food, terrific scenery and very accommodating. Daniel and Transtrek run a professional organization and would highly recommend booking your safaris with them. TIP: Bring binoculars and zoom lens for your camera.

Adventure with the kids
5/5

I took my three young children on a Safari with Transtrek to Amboseli and Tsavo East and West. We loved it. A real adventure and learning experience for the children and great fun for me. We were well looked after.

Awesome time Masai Mara for our first Safari / Excellente experience pour notre tout premier Safari
5/5

My sister and I booked our flight to Nairobi without arranging any tours/Safaris, and we only decided that we wanted to go to Masai Mara 3 days after our Arrival and despite the short notice Daniel arranged for our 3 days / 2 nights in Mara and even got us a French speaking Driver (Tony). We had an awesome time and I wasn't expecting to see as much much animals as we saw - We managed to see 4 out of the Big Five and may others. Our Driver/guide Tony, was very friendly, know a lot about the animals, trees and plants in the reserve. And his knowledge of the Mara allowed us to see all those animals. Thanks very much to Transtrek Safaris Team.

Avec ma soeur, nous avons decide de visiter le Kenya mais nous n'avons reserve aucun tour avant notre arrivee a Nairobi. Nous avons opte pour visiter le Mara, 3 jours apres notre arrivee a Nairobi, malgre ce delai assez court, Daniel nous a organise un tour de 3 jours / 2 nuits Avec un Chauffeur/guide francophone (Tony). Nous avons passe un Moment exceptionnel et nous nous attendions pas a voir autant d'animaux - 4 des 5 Big Five en plus du reste. Notre guide Tony a ete tres sympa et a une enorme connaissance de la faune et la flore du Mara. Ce qui nous a permis de voir autant d'animaux durant notre sejour. Un Grand merci a l'equipe Transtrek Safaris.

Transtrek safaris is the tour operator to recommend to anyone going for holiday in Kenya.
5/5

Transtreck was introduced to us by a friend a week before we left the Us.for Kenya.we communicated online and
they promised to take care of our safari in Tsavo and did so beyond our expectation. Time schedule was perfect,
and the guide mr Munyinyi,was always there when we stepped out of the hotel/lodge. The tour guide/driver was an expert in his job and seemed to know every part of the park,and where and when to track game. He is the kind of guide you would want to insist that he takes care of you in the park ,he made our tour quite an experience.our stay at Keekorok as promised by Transtrek turned out to be so comfortable,but we had to leave as time found us. Thank You Transtrek.

Amazing Safari Experience!
5/5

We didn't know exactly what we wanted from a safari, having never done anything like this before, but Daniel helped to put together an itinerary that worked perfectly and fulfilled all of our requirements.

Thanks to our drivers (Peter) expert knowledge and the good planning we saw all of the big 5 on numerous occasions as well as a huge selection of other wildlife. A fantastic mix of tented camps and lodges were selected by Daniel, all of which exceeded our expectations, with fantastic service and luxury.

Transtrek and the Mara Bush Camp even helped to keep a hot air balloon flight secret from my girlfriend until we reached the launch site, and she even agreed to marry me on the flight!

All in all an unforgettable holiday, I would recommend Transtrek to anyone!

Exceptional experience from Booking to Departure
5/5

I found Transtrek online, as I was booking a rather last minute safari after a business trip. Everything was handled perfectly, from the beginning. The lodges that were chosen suited my budget and were outstanding. Our driver was excellent...he knew a lot about animals and was very intuitive about vehicle placement for photos. In short, we were in excellent hands and I refer Transtrek without reservation.

Outstanding Safari Experience - Would Use Them Again and Again
5/5

We only had a few days for safari after ten days of charity work. Wanted to make the most of it while we were on that side of the world. Daniel was very knowledgeable and helped us choose the right places to go and visit. Food was great, rooms were awesome, shower was hot (not the norm in Kenya). If you are lucky you will get Peter for a driver. He was very nice and was with us for the entire time. He also knew all of the local secrets. I would book with them again and I would definitely take my kids to where we went. Have fun!

Highly Recommend
5/5

What I really liked about Transtrek is their willingness to create a personalized and tailored experience. Daniel spent lots of time accommodating our every need and listening to our concerns. This company really does go out of their way to put clients first. We stayed in amazing lodges with great service and our guide was experienced and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the big variety of activities and scenery that Transtrek had planned for us- game drives, hikes, boat rides, beaches etc. I look forward to recommending Daniel and his team to anyone wishing to embark on a fabulous journey to Africa!
