Outstanding tailor made safari experience with Gametrackers.
My wife and myself did our first camping safari with Gametrackers in 2012 and we had an excellent time. That’s why I chose Gametrackers again for another safari but this time with our 2 kids, 8 and 12 years old. I wanted a tailor made trip to the northern parks and also visit some off the beaten track locations. Judy in the office took care of all my wishes and also gave me some excellent ideas for some special excursions, like one to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary or a visit to Nghurunit. Judy replied very quickly to my emails and she found a solution for every issue I had organising our trip. Judy and her team at gametrackers also had a little surprise for my daughter’s birthday. Happy kids 😀
Our guide was Rufus and the cook was Caleb. The camping food was excellent, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Caleb did a superb job and the kids loved his pancakes and french toast for breakfast. Dinner was amazing, we had fish, meat, pasta, rice, chapati, ugali, etc.. Caleb never disappointed with his cooking.
Our guide Rufus has over 30 years of experience and has many interesting stories to tell. He did an excellent job driving us around northern Kenya, even though most of our trip was driving off-road. Gametrackers’ old Toyota Landcruisers are very good and can handle even the toughest driving conditions. 5 Stars for Rufus who also got us out of a serious traffic jam using his off-road driving skills and knowledge. I also give Rufus an extra 6th star because of his lion tracking skills in Meru. We got woken up at 5 am by the roaring of lions and Rufus quickly proposed to go and look for them. We jumped in the car and after a short time following lion footprints and listening to their roaring we found them. The kids were very excited.
Our highlights were the hike to the Dragon’s teeth in Aberdare national park, camping in Meru national park where we got elephants visiting our campsite, horse riding with the kids near Naivasha, climbing mount Longonot volcano, Reteti elephant sanctuary and Ol Pejeta where we saw the last 2 northern white rhinos and visited a chimpanzee orphanage. My personal highlight was seeing the Samburu special 5 and our stay a Lion’s cave lodge. Our next safari to Tanzania will definitely be again with Gametrackers. Excellent value for money.

Great expérience
I thoroughly enjoyed Gametrackers' services during my Kenyan safari with my daughter. The exchanges with Stacey during the safari planning were perfect—she was responsive, knowledgeable, and helped us design an ideal itinerary. Our guide Karisa was attentive, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable about the locations and wildlife. The selection of hotels and camps was excellent, offering comfort and authentic experiences. All of this came at a very reasonable price, proving exceptional value for money. I highly recommend booking directly with them rather than going through a European agency—you'll get personalized service, better rates, and direct communication with the team on the ground.

Safari of a lifetime for our family with Gametrackers!
We were very impressed by the quality and efficiency we received when booking our safari with Gametrackers. All my emails were responded to swiftly by Stacey and Judy and choices of accommodation were up to standard. We travelled to Samburu, Ngurunit, Ol Pejeta, Naivasha and the Masai Mara. Our driver Karisa had vast knowledge on the tribes, customs, wildlife and locations. He was extremely friendly and catered to all of our needs. We cannot recommend Karisa and the Gametrackers team enough, they were just excellent.

Excellent Safari with Gametrackers!
Adrian was an excellent guide and driver, and we had a wonderful Safari! He catered very well to our needs, especially understanding that we had a young child and also that we had done many safaris before. Thank you Adrian for the excellent adventure! Gametrackers were also able to accommodate all my requests to stay inside the park and travel by 4x4 safari jeep despite making the inquiry and booking with only a few days notice. This is very much appreciated and it was excellent service.

Personalised advice and tour planning + professional and experienced guide makes an amazing safari!
Gametrackers put together a customised tour, within my budget, and always responded in a friendly and flexible manner to the itinary and other questions. The tour guide on site was professional and experienced, was able to tell me a lot about the animals and the region. I appreciated he knew somewhat remote quiet places for animal observations, always paying attention to animal behaviour and keeping disturbance to a minimum.
I enjoyed the tour and always felt that I was in good hands. I have many wonderful memories from the trip - many thanks to the whole team!

Incredible tour guide with great knowledge of both Masai Mara and Kenya in general
Our tour guide was incredible. Very professional, yet also very personable. Beyond his clear experience traveling between Nairobi, Lake Naivasha, and Masai Mara, he was able to teach us a lot about the different ways of life in Kenya, and how Kenya as a whole was doing as a country. We spent one night in particular talking until midnight. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

Excellence in responsiveness, planning and execution!
Gametrackers were the perfect tour operator with our trip which included both business and tourism destinations. In the planning process, the tour operator was highly responsive to all our questions and requests in order to compile a custom made trip for us. The driver was always punctual (if not early), transported us safely (van was equipped with a speed governor) and accompanied our drives with interesting and relevant information about the scenery and history of the places we visited! We always had access to water and the tour van was diligently cleaned by our driver every night in time for a fresh start each day.
I would recommend Gametrackers to all travellers with an interest in seeing Kenya!

The best in the business.
They know how to organize and carry out itinerary to the letter. You get spoilt with excellent driving despite of some challenging roads. They seem to know how to smell out animals in their neighbourhood, excellent spotting. Their gastronomics is fabulous, we had our taste buds tickled and thrilled in all that was provided. I thinlk they offer a balanced, pocket friendly yet exceptional experience in game drives, park expereince, camping and general tourism. That is why I chose them again and would do so in future. I hope they keep up with the great job. Great job so far,

Really excellent communication and fantastic value for money
We really couldn't rate our experience with Gametrackers any higher, from our initial communication with Stacey to meeting with Adrian our guide it was all seamless. Stacey made it all feel very easy and nothing was too much trouble, the accommodation that was booked was perfect for our needs, with not a single issue along the way. My biggest worry was driving on Kenyan roads but Adrian was truly an excellent driver and I felt completely safe the entire way round, he was not only an excellent and safe driver but you could really feel his love for the country and nature, the level of knowledge Adrian had of the animals on our game drives was incredible. We didn't just come away from the entire experience feeling such gratitude for a truest wonderful time but we really felt like we'd learnt so much. Thank you to everyone at Gametrackers for our unforgettable experience.

Fantastic safari experience!
Our group, Safari Seven, had an excellent safari arranged by Gametrackers. Stacey was able to listen to what we wanted and tailored the trip specifically for us. Our guide, Zach, always did his best to get us to the best places to observe wildlife. We were even able to see the start of the wildebeest migration. I think Gametrackers is a great company to do business with, and at a very fair price. I will be using them again if I am ever lucky enough to return to Africa.
