Very organised and reliable. Always accommodating.
We had an amazing trip. Travelled many miles and hours in the back of Peters Jeep. Stayed in some lovely safari lodges. Peter was really knowledgeable and reliable. Nothing seemed to faze him. Thank you.

Excellent accommodation, food and game viewing.
I went with Transek Safaris to four parks in Kenya. Daniel organised a private safari for me to suit specific dates and this was very satisfactory. Peter our guide and driver was very obliging and was able to locate all the game I wanted to see including the black rhino and elusive leopard in Masai Mara. Altogether a very enjoyable experience.

Memories Made for Life
Daniel put together an amazing Safari package. It was fantastic and well coordinated trip with very personalized service. We felt very comfortable with our tour guides, Peter and John. Prior to our trip, we exchanged 30+ emails and phone calls in an attempt to craft the perfect holiday. Daniel was very accommodating in making changes and making recommendations to make our trip rememberable. Overall the safari was an incredible experience that gave us the effect of connecting us with nature in a way hard to explain to anyone who has never been on a safari. Thank you Daniel, Chiku and the rest of the crew for helping us fill out our bucket list.

Knowledgeable and helpful
Daniel really helped two complete novices navigate the enormous options of where to go and what to see. He tailored the experience to us perfectly.
Tony our guide was brilliant, nothing was too much effort and his knowledge seemingly endless.
I highly recommend this company
Reliable and responsive.
I recommend getting Kenya experience with Transtrek. They help you design your trip based on your needs and then take care of everything for your hassle-free holidays. I will use them again.

The entire experience was great - the guide, the animals, the campsite…
The preparation was very easy, and the service was door to door. Our guide, Toni, was great at knowing where the lions were napping, and the hippos bathing. He did not merely show us the animals, though. He shared so much information about Kenya and its culture. He was a perfect guide, in my opinion - to be highly recommended.

Our safari was simply perfect
After a long search for a Kenya safari we stumbled onto the Transtrek website and based on the excellent reviews sent off an email. On very short notice Daniel Francis put together a safari for us, for the dates we specified, taking into consideration all our wishes. We chose the Samburu Five and Big Five 10-day safari, which took us to five parks representing a varied range of landscapes and wildlife. We initially had some reservations about the fairly long drives between parks but soon realized the advantages of a much more flexible schedule and the opportunity to see the changing terrain, towns and villages.
It was our first safari and one of our best trips ever! The carefully chosen accommodations were all top-notch and our driver and guide, Peter, made sure we missed nothing – pointing out invisible birds and well-camouflaged animals while negotiating challenging terrain. A true professional, well liked by all the other guides, with an uncanny instinct for just where the animals were going to be, Peter was as enthusiastic as we were, and even ecstatic when he spotted a striped hyena for only the second time in his career!
We were amazingly lucky to find Transtrek and recommend them unreservedly – our safari was perfect down to the last detail (and very reasonably priced). Ten days went by in a blur and we’re looking forward to going back!

Very professional throughout the preparation and the safari itself and exceeded my hopes.
I had decided to treat myself to an exceptional retirement present and do something I'd wanted to do since childhood. Initially, I approached Transtrek based upon the reviews, here, and everything fell into place. There were numerous telephone, e-mail and WhatsApp exchanges with Daniel to plan an itinerary based upon his advice, onsite logistics and my wishes resulting in a 16 day tour to take in Tsavo West, Amboseli, the Aberdares, Samburu, Ol Pajeta, Lake Naivasha then two camps in the Masai Mara. A lot of driving between parks and conservancies but well worth it. Peter, the driver guide, was impeccable. Very flexible, always ahead of time for the game drives and somehow managed to spot and namle the wildlife while manoeuring the land cruiser across rugged terrain. There were some simply incredible moments. A family of cheetahs feeding on a kill, a leopard nursing her cub, lion cubs playing in the pride, a pair of maned males drinking at the river, crocodiles basking on the bank, elephants taking priority at a waterhole, a pair of ostrich with a dozen chicks in tow .... the list continues ... Excellent accommodation too, no hassles. Priceless memories.

Amazing!
Good day!
I wanted to send a huge shout out to Peter, who led our recent safari trip in Kenya. He was extremely knowledgeable of all the flora and fauna and went out of his way to share his wealth of information with us. We felt safe in his capable hands and he always had our safety in mind when we were with him. Peter was plugged-in with the other guides and was always in the communication loop when animals were nearby. We could not have asked for a better experience - as we looked back on the trip we talked about how great he was and that we were lucky to have had him as our guide. My brother and his wife live in Nairobi loved the great feedback and hope to use your company again for future guests.
All the best from Texas , USA , 5 happy guests- ages 13 to 74!
