A lifetime trip.
What an awesome trip it was,...i would say,'gametrackers lead,others follow'.
We had a wonderful time during the Lake Turkana Cultural Festival,everything was well executed,
wonderful and friendly staff,very professional too,the food was on point,we slept in tents all the way which was a great idea.I also met and made new friends during this trip,some who have become completely part of my life.
In short it was a great adventure with gametrackers,having been driven in an overland truck and so i would recommend them anytime to anyone

"Dreams do come true...."
I've always wanted to visit and tour my country's Northern Frontier and in May - June 2015 I had the opportunity to travel North for the Lake Turkana Cultural Festival for 7 days with the Gametrackers team. From Isiolo to Marsabit to Kargi to Loiyangalani to South Horr and Mararal and through The Kenya Highlands...Good Lord, whats an amazing experience!!! Gametrackers had an awesome team with a knowledgeable and funny guide (Rufus your stories were hilarious), an exemplary driver, made sure we didn't tire easily despite the looooong rough roads and the cook, ooh boy, he made our stomachs melt with joy with every meal :) :). We stayed in tents and the locations for our camp sites were amazing.
I personally enjoyed the view of the sun rising over the Ewaso Nyiro, the game drive up Mount Marsabit and view of Lake Paradise. The Journey through the Karoli desert, the Kaisut desert and the Chalbi deserts was an experience of a life time. Seeing the Jaded Sea for the first time is like a having a glimpse of Heaven. Turkana has diverse cultures and traditions which made me appreciate more my people. The Landscapes and wildlife was abundant.
Im definitely going back further North hopefully trasverse through Kalacha and North Horr with the Gametrackers team.
I highly recommend Gametrackers to anyone planning a trip to East Africa.

Wonderful trip
I was with Gametrucker in Turkana Lake for a cultural festival there. We spent 7 days travelling in Northern Kenya by a truck and sleeping in tend. The travel went very well, the agency team is professional and friendly. All passeggers were extremely interessing people and we enjoyed time together helping the team in daily activities preparation such as tend camp setup, as a family. We discovered amazing lands in remote area of the country and we have always the security standards in place. Definitely the most serious travel agency i have esperienced in east africa.

Fantastic Camping Safari in Uganda & Tanzania -- Highly Recommend Gametrackers
My college study abroad group traveled through Uganda and Tanzania with Gametrackers for roughly 2 weeks. They picked us up in Kampala and went to Murchison Falls, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Lake Victoria, Jinja, the Serengeti, Olduvai Gorge, Ngorongoro Crater, and Mt. Kilimanjaro. We saw tons of wildlife and beautiful scenery. The Gametrackers crew was very friendly, knowledgeable and able to find every type of animal we wanted to see (elephants, lions, leopards, hyenas, giraffes, etc, etc).
Gametrackers did an excellent job accommodating our large (21 person) group. They tailored our trip to hit all the places we wanted to see. They handled all the scheduling and paperwork at all the parks, campsites, etc. We were able to just kick back, relax and enjoy the beauty of East Africa. The cook made 3 fantastic meals per day and even managed to bake a cake at a campsite for one of our birthdays. They have quality, comfortable, waterproof camping equipment that made for an enjoyable camping experience. Their large safari trucks were perfect for sight-seeing in the bush.
We had a great trip and really appreciated Gametrackers. I highly recommend Gametrackers to anyone planning a trip to East Africa.

(Two Words) Just Great
1st - I lived in Kenya Jan.1954 to 1960, 4 years as a Policeman and 3 years with Kenya Meat Commision. Since 2000 I have been back 4 times, each time on GTC 1 except for this last trip when I had to take GTC 2 due to shortage of bookings, when by combining 1 & 2 we could go.. Every trip I have had an excellent time, the staff being excellent, the food well above one would expect on a camping safari and the Knowledge of the Driver/Guide to the highest standard. The trips has been fascinating,each time for a different reason. the 2nd time especially as we were able to visit Tuum & Kowop which I knew in 1954, Changed slightly!!! Fully recommended both for scenery and wild life, having seen the big five.
An amazing safari! I recommend to everyone!
In April, my partner and I went to Kenya and did a week safari with Gametrackers starting in Nairobi and finishing in Mombasa. We went through Amboseli National Park, Tsavo East National Park and Tsavo West National Park. The guide was absolutely amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic. He spotted the most incredible game, such as the African Eagle Owl in the trees- that I would never have noticed on my own. The cook was also great- preparing delicious healthy meals in the middle of the bush! I recommend this safari company to everyone. They are professional and go the extra mile and listen to your needs as a customer. The best safari ever :-)

10 days Turukana camping tour
We went to a 10 days Turukana tour. Since we were 5, we could change the length of the tour and the departing date as we like. The tour was much more wonderful than we had expected. The scenery on the way was breathtaking, especially Lake Turukana was beautiful. We were amazed when we saw hundreds of hundreds camels in the deserts and the mirages of them to the horizon. Also we visited some village of nomadic tribe. The color of their clothes and necklaces was fantastic.
Our driver and cook were excellent.
Alfred prepared very nice food though most of us were on diet. Whenever we go somewhere we are disappointed about food but we really enjoyed his meal everyday. Also Karnbo showed us many interesting places and he did his best to entertain us. Fusain, our guardman was very kind and help us a lot. Our tour was superb. I think they must have been tired after this tour. Thank you very much for letting us to have such a wonderful tour.

Outstanding Great Migration experience at Masai Mara
This was our 2nd safari with Gametrackers.
The first experience was very good, concerning overall organisation, booking details and contacts, guide, cook, everything.
By that time we stayed only 3 days at Masai Mara for the great migration, so this year we booked 7 days - 3 nights at their permanent camp near Talek Gate and 3 more at Iseyia bush camp near Mara Serena Lodge inside the Mara Triangle, having asked to allocate the same guide and cook.
Wow !!! 4 river crossings with 6 wildbeest taken by crocs, 4 leopards, black rhinos (the Big Five in a single day!), countless lion and cheetah in a diversity of settings and much, much more.
It was not only luck - the skills and overall wildlife knowledge of our guide were crucial, always looking for the correct timing and conditions in order to maximize chances of experiencing amazing events. Staying close to Mara River allowed him to constantly check for the positioning of the wildbeest herds, so we never had to wait more than 1 hour to see the crossings.
Once again, our cook prepared unbelievable meals under African camping settings.
Strongly recommended. We'll be back for Samburu and North Kenya with Gametrackers.
