Knowledgeable and helpful
5/5

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

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…
5/5

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
5/5

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.
5/5

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!
5/5

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!

Safari of a life time
5/5

It was fantastic – it was the best thing we’ve done. Really enjoyed every second of it and all went smoothly. We especially appreciated Mara River Camp – couldn’t have asked for a better setting or friendlier staff – we were upset to leave!! Kamau our driver was lovely too – made us feel informed and safe and was clearly very knowledgeable and caring toward the wildlife. He went out of his way to cleverly get us into fantastic viewing spots. We even managed to see a little of the migration! We honestly don’t have any negative feedback to give you and thanks again for organising it all. We are really hoping to come through you for our next Kenya safari (after we have time to save up).

Superbly organised, left us nothing to worry about and exceeded our expectations
5/5

We went on the Sumburu five and the big five trip. We've never been on safari before and were super excited if not slightly nervous having never been to Africa before. We needn't have worried we had a superb driver and guide , Garoua (Peter), he looked after us superbly well, we new exactly what we were doing every day , and he was happy to adapt the plans for the day. The whole safari was very varied with something new every day. There were some longish travelling days but that gave you the chance to see the sights of Kenya. Some of the highlights for us were the lion tracking, night drive, the trip to see the migration and finally spotting a leopard on our last day (thanks mainly to the perseverance of Garoua). The accommodation and food were of a good standard and the level of service from the Kenyan people was excellent. I thought the trip was extremely good value for money . I would highly recommend Tanstrek and when we return in a few years we'll definitely be using them again

Very well-planned
5/5

We are a family of 4 grown-up persons, and went to Kenya for a 13-day safari tour organized byt Transtrek safaris. We stayed in 6 different places, and really enjoyed each of them. We saw lots of different animals, and it was incredible how near of them one could go, if lucky. A lion just beside your car! A giraffe coming to greet you to your balcony! Our guide Peter was very good in spotting animals, we even saw a newborn dik-dik.
I can highly recommed.
