Everything we thought Kenya would be....and more.
5/5

Our family of four (mother, father and two middle school boys) went on the 13 day Kenya Wildlife Trail Safari in December of 2016. Our planning and dreaming took months. Gametrackers was always quick in reply and we had no problem with communications.

This trip was everything that we hoped it would be and so much more. We saw most of the major geographical regions of the country. We saw all of the animals that a person would come to Kenya to see....after only five days! The Gametrackers staff was great. Our cook, Alfred, prepared great meals. Our favorite ones were the traditional Kenyan meals. Our guide, Zack, was incredible. Since we were on this trip for so long we had the ability to see the difference in a trained, certified guide and budget safaris with a driver who did not know what they were doing. Fortunately, our guide was the first type; we saw the less desirable type in other vehicles. Gametrackers guides have earned a strong reputation by hard work.

We camped in several types tents: stand-up, semi permanent tents with cots; tents we helped set up for camping; and permanent cabins. All of these were fine. Our family likes to camp and this was not a hardship. They did offer nights in lodges, too....but we chose to camp.

Alfred and Zach became close friends on this trip. At the end of journey, it was hard to see them go. At the end of our time, it was hard to leave Kenya. We fell in love with the scenery, the animals....but most of all the people we met and spent time with along the way.

Our family recommends Gametrackers to whoever would like to: have a great journey, eat good food, see incredible wildlife, and spend time with good friends.

Outstanding service
5/5

I can't give a score that is too high for Gametrackers! I highly recommend them! I have made four trips to east Africa and have used Gametrackers each time for organizing our safari. Stacey organized a three week trip for my university group through Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. Our trip included visits to Murchison Falls NP, Jinja, the Masai Mara, Hells Gate NP, and Amboseli. Stacey did a terrific job of communicating with me before the trip. She was very patient in answering all of my questions and was responsive to our needs and requests. During the trip, every detail was covered. Overall, the entire organization including the guide (Rufus), driver (Joseph), and cook (Nicholas) were very professional, courteous, personable, and attentive. One aspect of safari travel is that plans constantly change. The Gametrackers staff was terrific in communicating with me about issues and coming up with good solutions for our group. I would not travel to east Africa if Gametrackers wasn't involved. Again, I highly recommend Gametrackers and I plan to use them again for my next trip.

The safari was great. Guides were great. We discovered a really authentic Africa, with a great service.
I do recommend Gametrackers, especially if you want to go in the north of Kenya.

Amazing experience with such great guides, especially Rufus!
5/5

Just about everything was as good or better than we expected. We recognize this was a mid-range safari but it felt better/higher than mid-range, much of the time.

Fantastic safari adventure that created a lifetime's worth of memories!
5/5

My two college-age sons and I selected Gametrackers based on the reviews here and could not have been more pleased with every aspect of our 10-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti camping safari. From our first email contact with Stacey Bisley through our final goodbyes to our guide, Rufus Kimani, and our amazing bush chef, Charles, every aspect of Gametrackers' handling of our safari conveyed care and professionalism. If you are reading this and considering whether or not to invest in this trip of a lifetime, just do it! Rufus has an intimate knowledge of each destination and often positioned us to experience the majesty of African wildlife in ways that other guides simply could not match. Charles was a magician with the campfire, cooking delicious hot breakfasts and dinners every day, and providing fresh fruits, vegetables, and sandwiches for lunch. We never went to bed hungry, and always had energy for full days of going face to face with the world's most spectacular wildlife. The highlights of this safari are way too many to remember, but we took over a thousand photos to help spur our memories! Thank you, Gametrackers, for giving us such an intimate look at your beautiful East Africa. By the way, if anybody has questions about our safari, feel free to email me and I will be glad to help you plan your trip.

Couldn't be better
5/5

I took a safari with Zachary and Aflred, and it could not have been better! Gametrackers has earned a name for themselves, and it's very much deserved. We saw every animal, every detail was planned out and went accordingly, and our guides were very gracious and kind to be around. 5 stars for Gametrackers!

Amazing Experience!!!
5/5

Our group of 4 began communicating via email with Gametrackers several months prior to our visit. I greatly appreciate how fast and thorough every single email was from Gametrackers. (Thanks Stacey!) We did a 6 safari from Nairobi to Mombasa that included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. We had the best time ever! Our tour guide/driver, Daniel, was the reason for us seeing all of the Big 5 immediately. He's very smart and incredibly passionate about what he does. Not only did he make sure we were able to get pictures, but he respected the animals. We saw tons of other tour guides doing outrageous things and harassing the animals. We learned so much from him about the animals and the country. He even knew Lion King songs, so you can't get much better than that! :) Our chef, Joseph worked wonders with a propane tank and a hot plate. He had the best attitude and work ethic. We loved every meal that he cooked! We truly enjoyed every part of our trip. Thanks so much to the whole team at Gametrackers!

it was totally awesome full of adventure our guide was very skilled and knew places for sightings
5/5

Our guide Karisa made us feel comfortable having 15 years experience with the company he was very knowledgeable knowing spots to get the best viewing. He worked well with the other team liaising with them while we were out in the bush and answered every questions.
I would not hesitate to recommend Gametrackers for any Safari and when reading this we need to save Masai Mara game park from farming.

Amazing and meaningful trip!
5/5

Communication was great! My emails always received a rapid response - especially given time difference. The safari itself was amazing. Apart from seeing all the stunning animals, what really made the experience was our guides (Alfred and George). They took such great care of us, they were patient with our questions, and always tried to make sure we were heaving a great time. My partner and I miss them actually. Please tip handsomely! Your guides work very hard.

A third great experience with Gametrackers K
5/5

Great 10-days off-the-beaten-track safari from Nairobi to North Kenya and back.
Fantastic game drives at Samburu, incredible experiences among remote tribes such as the Gabbra, El Molo and Turkana people.
Once again, Daniel and Charles (driver and cook) did all their best (which is much) for our comfort, security and enjoyment of the trip.
Highly recommendable company for any kind of safari in Kenya.
We intend to come back for a 4th safari with Gametrackers K, probably to Tsavo.
