Well organized flexible and competent Safari Operator
5/5

I contacted John initially while browsing different safari options. Despite changing my mind multiple times, John was patient and helped us select our ideal safari. We did the 7day tour of masai mara, nakuru, naivasha and amboseli. Our guide Antony was phenomenal and a very comptetent driver on difficult roads. He was flexible and listened to our requests about game drives. Overall, we really enjoyed our trip and would recommend everyone to use Camptrek!

Exactly what we wanted
5/5

Camptrek helped to find us the perfect tour that hit all spots we wanted to see. From the initial booking period, Camptrek was very flexible in our changing itineraries and amount of people coming (as we had a few drop out). Both our Kenyan and Tanzanian guides were unbelievably skilled in finding all of the animals we wanted to see, and showed us many experiences that we were not even aware of. Wouldn't have changed a thing; we are very grateful for the experience!

Personal touch and deliver excellence
5/5

My boyfriend and I have made a lot of trips, we never went to Africa as it always seemed like a big step from what we are used to.

From the moment we booked with camptrek we felt save and comfortable. The amount of love and care they put in their work is unbelieveable. Papa John took his time to answer all of our questions and concerns beforehand. He planned a perfect customized trip, with a clear and elaborate itinerary. Still we weren’t really sure what to expect but looking back now it was AMAZING!

The Safari was beautiful, like we were part of a beautiful movie/book.

The scenery, the national parks, the animals, John the guide, the road trip through the country, the 4x4, the popup roof, the hotels, lodges, camps, the coffee breaks, the food, the views we were in AWE, truly perfect. What a rush, highly recommended!

Tip: arrange 10 days off, save some money, call john & go

Special shoutout to binoculair-eyed John(our guide). The way you guided us was out of this world. You found all the animals, are very knowledgeable, knew everybody and made always sure we were OK and having a laugh. We were bawling when we had to say goodbye.

John, Lydia, Ben and Papa John Camptrek Safaris Kenya Asante Sana.

Love,
Lo and Pum

Very well organized, excellent service and pricing!!
5/5

We were picked up from the Hilton Nairobi Airport 7:30am and dropped off 6 days later at 8:30pm after the most wonderful trip. John our driver was fantastic. He knew everything about the animals at each park. Amboseli for 2 nights, Lake Nakuru for 1 night and Masai Mara for 2 nights. John knew exactly where to go to get the best views and he got us there very quickly and safely. An amazing driver and conversationalist. 5*’s +. And John Ok, the organizer did an amazing job putting our trip together. Just my wife and I aboard the van. Benson our driver from Narok to the airport was also very good. Heavily recommend these guys.

The best safari experience with Camptrek
5/5

We contacted "Camptrek" as a private couple on our own on "safaribookings" website from France. Camptrek's offer stood out to us for the best option regarding the trip and high-quality accommodation. John's communication was excellent and his assistance very helpful as he even assisted us with our visa procedures. We were picked up at our hotel by our driver and guide called Mnyama. With his years of expertise he ensured an exemplary drive on the roads and tracks and thanks to his knowledge of nature,he was always showing us the most interesting sights. We could see the Big Five and sometimes had the privilege of being the sole witnesses to enjoyable scenes with lions, rhinos, léopards..etc. . A big thank you to Camptrek and to the best driver in Kenya "Mnyama" , for making this experience unforgettable to us. Asante Sana kwa timu nzima!

Amazing honeymoon!
5/5

My husband and I were looking to have an epic honeymoon in East Africa, and Camptrek made it happen! The trip itself was perfect - the activities were well planned, the accommodations were comfortable and the guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. There are a few things we wanted to do that weren’t part of the original itinerary (museum visits, etc.) that they helped to arrange. The pre-trip communication was excellent. Camptrek provided detailed packing lists and had a few calls with us to ensure we had the correct visa paperwork. I would highly recommend Camptrek to anyone looking for a stress-free trip!

Exceptional !
5/5

My wife and I were fortunate enough to have John as our guide in Amboseli. He helped us get our luggage which was lost by Air France (always pack for emergencies in your carry on) before heading from Nairobi to Amboseli. After a 4 hour drive to the Kibo Safari Camp, he helped us get checked in and settled. During the afternoon game drive, John went well above in explaining what we were seeing, the history of the park, and he made sure we were able to see as many of the animals as possible including a quick pull over stop to watch the sunset behind giraffes (photo opportunities were everywhere but this was special). We toured with John at Amboseli for a full day and a half plus traveling times. His personality, attention to detail and concern for us was exemplary. We HIGHLY recommend John and were extremely happy with him! Steve and Pilar.

Knowledgeable and Thoughtful would be the adjective I would describe of John.
5/5

The whole journey is very smooth.

We enjoyed the knowledge John told us, for example the wild animals, the history, the basic information about Kenya, and so on. He is like a professor to us for the past few days.

John is always friendly and patient. As we are not from an English speaking country, he would explain until we understood what he meant. In this case, I would say the communications are very clear.

In turns of the service, John is very thoughtful. He prepared everything that we might need. For example, when we went for a boat trip & walking safari, he prepared the drinking water for us. Not to mention the game drives, the binoculars are provided for us to observe the wild animals.

In conclusion, I would like to highly recommend John as all my family members enjoyed this trip a lot.
