Great custom made itinerary with a range of accommodations
5/5

Since the beginning, Margaret fulfilled all of our trip needs by curating an itinerary that fitted our flights and requests. We went back and forth with many many emails and in the end she helped us craft an unforgettable memory. Shout out to to Eric as well who was a great, funny and educated driver.

Camptrek is a very efficient tour company that prioritizes client needs and the overall experience
5/5

I spent 12 thoroughly enjoyable days with a small group on a Camptrek Safari tour in September-October 2026. We visited four Kenyan national parks: Nairobi, Tsavo East, Amboseli, and Masai Mara. While any tour operator can take you to see elephants and lions, what truly made this experience exceptional was Camptrek’s meticulous planning, flawless execution, and genuinely dedicated team.
Rose, our booking contact, coordinated our hotels, camps, and transfers with exceptional efficiency, making every part of our in-country travel seamless. Ben, our guide, was an outstanding driver with extensive knowledge of Kenya’s ecosystem. He could identify 47 bird species by sight and sound and had a remarkable ability to spot wildlife from 400 yards away while navigating the unforgiving dirt roads.
It was a joy working with Camptrek. I’ve already recommended them to several friends, and I would not hesitate to book them on other African destinations.

Best safari company and guide
5/5

This was our first trip to Kenya. Our friend coordinated the logistics and vetted Camptrek as a good company to use for our visit. We spent 12 days in Kenya and visited several national parks. Each one was unique in its own way. Camptrek did a superb job coordinating our camps, lodges, and driver/ guide. We could not have been happier with Rose our trip coordinator and Benson our driver/guide. They each took care of details that made our trip more memorable and enjoyable. Benson is a superb driver and his knowledge base of the animals is phenomenal. He has a passion for what he does and a skill set that provides the travelers with the best experience imaginable. I would easily recommend this company for anyone making a trip to Kenya and would use them without any doubt if I were to ever return. Great company with great customer service and support.

A reliable travel agency that can handle every detail, making sure clients' trips go smoothly.
5/5

Before our trip, I got in touch with three different tour operators on Safaribooking. Camptrek Safaris responded the fastest out of all of them. I must give a special shout‑out to Margaret. Even with the time‑zone difference, she replied to me really promptly, and she even has WeChat. Margaret adjusted our itinerary according to my preferences and budget, and briefed us on all travel arrangements well ahead of time. The operator was extremely reliable for the whole trip. All pick‑ups, transfers and game drives took place exactly as planned.Before the safari started, she even gave my friend and me each a custom‑printed mug with our names on it, which really touched us.

Our guide Robert was very experienced. He gave detailed briefings on wildlife and had wide‑ranging local contacts across the African savanna, which helped us locate the Big Five. He manoeuvred the vehicle into perfect positions for wildlife viewing and photos. Robert was a great driver. The savanna is full of deep potholes and the roads are incredibly bumpy, but he slowed down and tried his best to steer clear of those holes for us. The safari vehicle was comfortable and clean, and plenty of drinking water was provided in the back seats. One minor point: Robert’s photography skills could be better. Total straight‑guy aesthetic, hahaha.

When it comes to value for money, we thought the price was reasonable for a private custom‑built safari. The recommended accommodations fit our budget, and every service stated in the contract was provided in full, with zero hidden charges.

This trip was truly unforgettable. While travelling, we heard bad experiences from other Chinese tourists regarding unreliable tour agencies. Some landed in Nairobi with no one to meet them, and there were even cases of operators disappearing entirely. If you are planning an East Africa safari and want a dependable operator with transparent communication and high‑quality service, Camptrek Safaris is strongly recommended. We would definitely book with them again and recommend them to other travellers.

5 STARS best Kenya private Safari
5/5

5 STARS! What an incredible experience! Our safari with Camptrek was truly the trip of a lifetime and exceeded everything we had hoped for.

We were a group of five active seniors traveling together on a private safari, and Camptrek created the perfect experience for us. Having our own vehicle and guide gave us tremendous flexibility and allowed us to enjoy Kenya at our own pace. We were also very impressed by the value. For a private, personalized safari of this quality, Camptrek provided a very cost-effective way to experience the very best of Kenya.

We traveled through six national parks, and every one was different and spectacular in its own way. The variety of scenery and wildlife was amazing. We saw more animals than we ever imagined, had some truly unforgettable encounters, and experienced the beauty of Kenya in a way that pictures simply cannot capture. Every day brought a new adventure and another wonderful surprise.

What made the trip especially memorable was our guide, Ben. We could not have asked for anyone better. Ben was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, birds, parks, and local culture, and he had a wonderful way of sharing that knowledge with us. He was engaging, fun, patient, and always looking for ways to make our experience even better.

And what a driver! Some of the roads and trails were an adventure all by themselves, and Ben handled everything beautifully. Most importantly, he genuinely cared about us. He watched over us, anticipated what we needed, and made us feel completely comfortable and safe throughout the trip. By the end of our safari, Ben wasn’t just our guide—he had become our friend.

And then there is Rose, who was absolutely wonderful from the very beginning. Planning a safari like this involves so many details, and Rose made the entire process easy and enjoyable. Her communication was outstanding. She listened to what we wanted, answered our questions, offered excellent suggestions, and created an itinerary that was perfect for five active seniors who wanted to see and experience as much as possible. From our first conversation through the completion of the trip, she was responsive, professional, caring, and simply a pleasure to work with.

Camptrek delivered everything they promised—and much more. The organization was excellent, the accommodations and destinations were wonderful, and the entire experience had just the right combination of comfort, variety, excitement, and adventure.

We came to Kenya hoping for a great safari. We left with extraordinary memories, wonderful stories, thousands of photographs, and a new appreciation for this magnificent country and its people.

Thank you, Rose, Ben, and the entire Camptrek team for giving the five of us an experience we will treasure forever.

If you are considering a safari in Kenya—especially if you are a small group looking for a private, personalized safari—we wholeheartedly recommend Camptrek. It was an exceptional experience and an excellent value. Five stars simply aren’t enough!

An Unforgettable East African Safari — Highly Recommend Rose and Camptrek!
5/5

We had an absolutely incredible safari journey across Kenya and Tanzania with Camptrek Safaris, and we cannot recommend them enough!

From the very beginning, Rose was exceptional. She was incredibly productive, prompt in answering all of our queries, and ensured a seamless booking process. Her meticulous planning made the entire transaction and journey completely stress-free.

Our guides were phenomenal—Robert in Kenya and Jackson in Tanzania both provided us with an outstanding experience, sharing their deep knowledge and making our game drives unforgettable. Additionally, every single lodge organized for us was exceptionally beautiful and exceeded our expectations.

Toward the end of our trip, we experienced a minor vehicle breakdown during our last two days heading back to the Kenyan border. However, the Camptrek team handled it flawlessly. The issue was quickly resolved, and they smoothly provided us with alternative
transport without disrupting our itinerary.

We will certainly be recommending Rose and Camptrek Safaris to our family and friends. We are already hoping to return in a few years and will definitely have Rose arrange our future safari trips!

Camptrek was easy to work with, attentive to our needs, and totally professional.
4/5

We found Camptrek through Safari Bookings and began a correspondence with Margaret. She was the best customer service representative imaginable. She listened to us and customized our trip accordingly. Our safari experience was all about the animals... and they were truly amazing! We visited the Masai Mara in Kenya, then flew to the Serengeti. We also visited Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park in Tanzania. We're an older couple and concentrated our experience on game drives. Our guide in Kenya, Brandon, was outstanding. His communication skills and sense of humor were top notch. We learned so much about the wildlife from him and had a great time doing it. Our guide/driver in Tanzania was also easy to hang out with, took good care of us, and even found us some rhinos -- the only animals from the Big 5 we hadn't seen yet. The 4 star rating instead of 5 is because some of our accommodations did not exactly live up to our expectations from a previous trip we took to Kruger in South Africa. We had chosen mainly bush tent camps and they were a bit rustic for us. However, all the staff were attentive and the food generous. Our trip was during the dry season and the rough unpaved roads gave us an "African massage" everyday, but the reward was seeing the incredible wildlife. Africa is a Feeling with Camptrek Safaris.

An Unforgettable East African Journey with Camptrek!
5/5

We’re just back from a multi-destination trip through Amboseli, the Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, topped off with a few days on the beach in Zanzibar. With so many moving parts, flights, and transfers across two countries, we were worried about logistics, but Camptrek made the whole thing feel totally effortless.
Rose planned everything for us, and her communication was spot-on from day one. She was always quick to reply, super organized, and made sure every single detail was sorted before we left. Once we landed, our guides—Eric, Ben, and Jackson took over and were brilliant throughout. They knew the parks inside out, spotted wildlife we’d have completely missed on our own, and kept long drive days relaxed and easy. Couldn't have asked for a better team to show us around Kenya and Tanzania.

Shabani was an outstanding driver / guide.
5/5

We highly recommend Camptrek Safaris. We did a two week safari in Kenya and Tanzania and it was excellent in every respect. All of our guides (Stephen, Shabani, and Benny) were very knowledgeable, attentive, considerate, and personable. This is a top notch organization - very trustworthy, reliable, and competent. You won't go wrong in booking your tour with them!

An absolutely amazing, unforgettable experience.
5/5

With so many African safari operators, we are so happy that we chose CampTrek.
From the very beginning of the booking process there were no surprises and everything was straightforward, and any questions or concerns were answered almost immediately.
Our safari guides were absolutely fantastic, so full of knowledge, and made our dream vacation so much fun and exciting.
All of our accommodations were out of this world, we couldn’t believe the luxury that we had on an African safari, way above our expectations.
We would definitely recommend CampTrek, and if we ever decide to come back they will be the first ones we will contact.

This is for the second portion of our Safari adventure.
For our Serengeti, and Ngorogoro Crator tour,
Our guide was awesome full of knowledge, and we really enjoyed the quizzes.
The accommodations were incredible, we felt like royalty, it’s so awesome to have Elephants right outside your room within a few feet.
If I could give our guide, and the CampTrek Safari company a higher rating , it would definitely be 10 out of 10.
Thank you for the unforgettable experience.
