AMAZING safari with Arch Treks and Safaris
We just came back from an amazing 12 day trip in Kenia!!!
The owner James picked us up personally with driver Charles.
2 amazing friendly guys wich want the best for their customers.
From the border of Tanzania and Kenia we went to the Maasai Mara.
What an incredible experience was that. So many animals!!!
The skilled driver Charles has a six sence to find those beautiful creatures.
Lions with a prey protect it from the hyenas.
5 cheetah brothers crossing our car.
Big elephants parades.
And so much more.
This was only our first day and we saw a lot.
After a good sleep in a nice safari lodge we say goodbye to James.
After the Maasai Mara we went to Lake Nakuru where we did a nice boat trip.
After this to olpetjetta National park
With a lot of Rhinos.
Also we went to samburu buffalo spring national park.
Amboseli national park with thousands of elephants and hippos and a lot of other species of animals.
After this we go to Tsavo east and Tsavo west.
There we stay in amazing lodges were the elephants came for drinking just I front of the restaurant.
The whole trip was so well arranged and there was no downside.
James really wants the best for his customers.
The accommodations were very good.
And the whole trip was very affordable.
You can book in different price ranges
Thanks Arch Treks and Safaris for this unforgettable journey in Kenia

Excellent Mt Kenya hike experience
I would very much recommend Arch Treks & Safaris as a tour operator for the Mount Kenya hike. We did a 4-day hike (Chogoria up Sirimon down) which was organized perfectly. The communication and information up front, both on their website and from the owner James, was very clear and extensive. Our guide Samson was extremely knowledgeable, cared for us constantly and explained the day to day program well. Chef Charles spoiled us with tasty, nutritious and more than plenty of food. Moses and George were there to back us up and assist us in every way. The organization has many many years of experience which comes to expression in the way our hike was arranged. Simply a top notch service from Arch.

Exceeded my expectations exponentially!
Communications: James always responded to my pre-trip questions within a couple days.
Tour: Robin was a fantastic guide. He grew up close to the animals, so he was always able to answer our questions. He also knew the parks intimately, and so we were blessed to see the 'Big 5' with the first 24 hours of our drives. The resorts we stayed at were very modern and comfortable, and the food was so terrific that I gained a few pounds, even though I had been told not to eat any raw fruits or vegetables or drink anything unless it was in a sealed container which I personally opened.
I was actually not looking forward to this trip, as 'African Safari' would never have been on my bucket list, so I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the experience. The parks, animals, scenery, lodgings, food, and people were exceptional.

Excellent, personalized service from start to finish
My fiancé and I took 5 day tour through 3 Kenyan parks - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. The Arch Treks team met us at our Nairobi hotel and we were off. Our driver/guide Ken was wonderful. He pointed out interesting sites along the drive, and his skills and talents at finding wildlife while on safari was outstanding. He repeatedly found animals both large and small and we were able to enjoy their magnificence for a long time before other tours descended on us. We saw all of the Big Five on the trip. We also loved the accommodations. All of the tented camps were what we expected, and we enjoyed meeting the staff who were all pleasant and full of energy. We wholeheartedly recommend Arch Treks and Safaris.

Fun, unforgettable trips
Arch Trek never disappoints. I’ve done 2 trips with them and what I received was nothing short of professional, affordable and fun. I’ve had 2 wonderful and fantastic experiences with this company and I’d encourage others to book trips with them. Thank you Arch Trek and see you soon for a 3rd trip.
Magical Experience
I knew Arch Treks Safaris through a friend who recommended for their 5 stars services. The trip was awesome and everything went beyond my expectations. From guides, cooks and potters these guys are good in work organization, team work and very polite guys. If you need a magical experience of your life try Arch Treks Safaris and you will be happy.

Legit local organizer who will make your money count
I was referred to Arch Treks and Safaris by my Kilimanjaro organizer. I'd already requested quotes from at least three other organizers for an 11 day private safari. Arch Trek came in well below what the other groups were quoting and was able to continue to work with me to adjust my itinerary after I was several days into my Safari and had a better idea of what I was interested in. They were able to secure me an amazing driver and ridiculously nice accommodations for a very affordable price (given it was a solo private safari).
Couple of key points when thinking about who to select:
- Local, meaning money stays local and doesn't filter up to some already rich CEO
- Responsive, James at Arch Trek was always quick to respond to me
- Genuine, I felt that they were more interested in making sure I was satisfied than getting money out of me
- They've got some preset tours that are incredibly affordable but they can also customize
Additional thought
- If you can, organize a private tour (e.g. your family, buddies, etc.) I guarantee you'll have a better time that just getting slotted into a group. Although their group tours were very affordable from the prices they quoted me.
- If you can
