Reviews
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 :-)

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.

"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.

A third great experience with Gametrackers K
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.

Amazing and meaningful trip!
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.

it was totally awesome full of adventure our guide was very skilled and knew places for sightings
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.
Couldn't be better
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 with such great guides, especially Rufus!
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.

Rufus was a great guide. Entertaining and knowledgeable.
Communications were hassle free and my (many) emails were responded to quickly and professionally. CVery easy to book the safari we wanted inside the budget we had. Very accommodating in terms of a pick up point at the start of the safari and Rufus, our guide, was very friendly and entertaining. The transport is a little old but it does the job and it is not uncomfortable. Think it may have been a bit of a squash if there were 6 of us though. Thankfully, there were only 4. We ran into a bit of a disaster on our first night as there was a massive thunderstorm and, for some bizarre reason, there were no tents at the campsite we had booked. I am still unclear if there were actually no tents or if the rain had made the tents uninhabitable. In any event, Rufus scurried about in the rain for about an hour and fixed the problem for us. Nice little bonus was that, as a result of the mess up on night one, we were upgraded to the big fancy tents with electricity, a bathroom and real beds for night two. Nice touch. The food was very good considering the basic kitchen available to the chef. Rufus was a great guide on the actual safari. He knew all the good spots to try and find certain animals and never rushed us when we wanted to take the 800th picture of the lion cubs or the baby elephant we had just seen 5 minutes before that! He was also very experienced at judging where certain animals would be at certain times and when certain things would happen. As a result, we got to see a mini crossing of the wildebeest on our last morning. We had a great time and, while the accommodation may be basic, you know what you are in for if you choose to sleep in a tent. And, in any event, who goes on Safari to sit in a room? Would recommend the company and would go with them again if I got the chance. Thoroughly recommend a safari though. While we have all seen those animals 1000s of times on TV, there is nothing that will prepare you for seeing a lioness with her cubs about 2 metres from you. Or seeing lions mate in front of you. Or being so close to a cheetah that you can see him mark his territory. And the ongoing hilarity that is warthogs. Thumbs up.
