Brilliant Safari, Excellent Service.
5/5

We were returning to Kenya having been on a safari organised by Transtrek before back in 2018. We had no hesitation in contacting Dan at Transtrek again to plan our next trip. This time we wanted to do something different and after WhatsApp calls with Dan settled on a fortnights trip travelling a northern route visiting the Rift Valley Naivasha and Nakuru Lakes, before moving on to the high plains of Ol Pejeta, then the semi-arid Samburu returning to Nairobi via the lush Aberdares. All of our accommodation was superb with great food – each place was very different in style but all were excellent.

Our driver/guide Tony promised us a fun time when he picked us up from the airport and he didn’t disappoint. He was an excellent driver, guide, photography adviser and mechanic. We learnt a lot from him not just about the abundant wildlife but also Kenyan culture and history.

We would thoroughly recommend a Safari with the Transtrek team.

5/5

We booked the Samburu Five and Big Five Safari with Transtrek Safaris and had an unforgettable experience from beginning to end. Their UK registration gave us added peace of mind in a crowded market, where choosing the right provider can feel overwhelming, especially for such a significant investment.

From the outset, the communication was clear and responsive. Daniel took the time to understand our preferences and designed an itinerary that suited us perfectly, offering thoughtful suggestions and flexible options throughout the planning process.

Upon arrival in Kenya, everything was perfectly coordinated. After a smooth airport transfer to our Nairobi hotel, we met our guide Peter the following morning, and from that moment, we knew we were in the best hands. His deep knowledge, enthusiasm, and respect for wildlife and local culture truly enriched our experience.

The safari itself surpassed all expectations. We were fortunate to see both the Big Five and the rare Samburu Five. Each lodge we stayed in was well selected, not only comfortable, but also full of character and set in stunning locations. The food was excellent, and the warm hospitality we received made us feel welcome wherever we went.

Transtrek Safaris delivered a seamless, expertly managed trip. But what truly elevated it was Peter. His professionalism, insight, and personal touch transformed the journey. He brought the itinerary to life with care and enthusiasm, making each day feel unique and meaningful.
Peter didn’t just guide our safari, he defined it. His dedication and attention to detail turned a great adventure into an extraordinary one, and we’re genuinely grateful for the role he played in creating memories we’ll cherish forever.

Great personalised itinerary, service and experience - recommended
5/5

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.
