Great custom made itinerary with a range of accommodations
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.

Unforgettable experience
My husband and I booked an 11-day private safari with Camptrek for our honeymoon, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Covering three countries in under two weeks sounded ambitious, but Camptrek made it feel effortless from start to finish.
Margaret Nyambura was our point of contact from the very first quote, and she was fantastic. She was responsive, patient with our endless questions, and flexible as we adjusted the itinerary. She also guided us through the trickier logistics, like visas and the border crossing into Tanzania. We always felt we were in good hands.
We started in Rwanda with gorilla trekking, staying at Sambora Kinigi. Sitting just a few meters from a gorilla family was one of the most moving experiences of our lives, and a perfect way to begin our marriage.
Next was the Masai Mara in Kenya, where Ashnil Mara Camp was a beautiful base for game drives through the reserve. From there we crossed into Tanzania for the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire, staying at Serengeti Explorer, Melia Ngorongoro and Acacia Tarangire Luxury Camp. Each place felt completely different, and the wildlife viewing was spectacular.
Every lodge was thoughtfully chosen, with comfortable rooms, great food and incredible locations. They were the perfect mix of adventure and romance for a honeymoon.
Our guide made the trip. They were knowledgeable and warm, with an incredible eye for spotting wildlife, and they never rushed us at a sighting. By the end, they felt like a friend.
Moving between three countries could easily have been stressful, but every transfer ran smoothly and everything was well organized.
If you're planning a honeymoon or any once-in-a-lifetime trip to East Africa, we can't recommend Camptrek highly enough. They took care of every detail so we could simply enjoy each other and the experience. Thank you, Margaret and our wonderful guide!
An Unforgettable African Safari — Camptrek Safaris Deserves Five Stars!
My husband, Doug, and I recently returned from an extraordinary private safari through Kenya and Tanzania, organized by Camptrek Safaris. It was truly one of the most memorable travel experiences of our lives.
First and foremost, an enormous thank-you to Lucy Kagure, whose professionalism, exceptional attention to detail, and remarkable organizational skills made this adventure possible. Throughout the planning process, Lucy worked closely with us, revising and fine-tuning our itinerary until it reflected exactly the safari we had envisioned. Her ability to coordinate the many moving parts of a complex journey across two countries was truly impressive.
Our Kenyan guide, Ben, was absolutely exceptional! He had an uncanny ability to spot wildlife that was completely invisible to us. Even after he pointed out exactly where an animal was, Doug and I would still be searching, wondering how on earth he had managed to see it! Ben knew precisely where to position us for the best wildlife encounters and brought us right into the action with the Big Five.
But Ben was so much more than an excellent guide. Over the course of our time together, we developed a genuine fondness for him. He became an important part of our African adventure, and the laughter and friendship we shared made our time in Kenya especially memorable. One particularly wonderful highlight was a memorable sundowner shared by Doug and Ben.
In Tanzania, we were equally fortunate to have Shebani as our guide. His knowledge of the Serengeti’s wildlife and Tanzania’s history was extraordinary. He could tell us something fascinating about virtually every animal we encountered. And the birds! Shebani knew more about Tanzania’s birdlife than we ever imagined we needed to know. His enthusiasm and depth of knowledge were remarkable.
Beyond his expertise, Shebani is an incredibly kind person, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him.
One quality that both Ben and Shebani shared was extraordinary patience. Neither would move the vehicle from a wildlife sighting or photographic opportunity until Doug and I were completely ready. We never felt rushed. They understood that this was our adventure and allowed us to savour every moment.
Our journey took us through Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, the Masai Mara, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater before we finished our trip in Zanzibar. Each destination offered something different, and the entire experience was unforgettable.
We came to Africa hoping to see extraordinary wildlife. We left with wonderful memories, beautiful photographs, and genuine affection for the people who helped make our adventure so special.
We would also like to give a special thank-you to Elly, who stepped in to help us reach Arusha Airport on time for our flight to Zanzibar. His assistance was greatly appreciated and helped ensure that this part of our journey went smoothly.
Thank you, Lucy, Ben, Shebani, and Elly. Camptrek Safaris delivered an experience we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend them!

Trip of a lifetime!
I ended up finding CampTrek through Viator, but was so happy I booked directly with them. Simon (and Lucy) were great to work with in creating an amazing itinerary. And the guides that were assigned to us for the two weeks were amazing - friendly, knowledgeable in so many subjects, and spoiling us with their over-the-top service. The various camps were all incredible, much nicer than I ever could have imagined. And then there was the wildlife and scenery throughout the trip that was mind-blowing! Would absolutely use CampTrek again, and would highly recommend them to my friends as well!
