Superior
Did not do the booking so could not look up particulars on website. Consequently, didn’t quite know what to expect, and was more than pleasantly surprised at the amenities and luxury.
The “camps” —The safari “camps“ were definitely “glamping” — our “tents’ all had running water, electricity, flush toilets, and usually plenty of hot water for shower. One even had a giant bathtub to soak in. I have stayed in motels that were not as nice as these places. The food at each camp was superior and plentiful, esp the soups,. There were multiple entrée choices and plenty of fresh fruit. There were two vegetarians in our group and they did not have a problem satisfying their appetites. To hear the noises of the wild animals at night was magical. One place (surrounded by an obscure electrical fence) had built a cement watering hole and we dined, watching elephants and other animals sip from the pool. Other camps posted guards at night to ward off any problematic animals that might enter. But waking up to piles of zebra poop or antelope droppings on your “front lawn“ was a trip.
The guides - this was a two country tour so we had different guides and vehicles in Kenya and Tanzania, allowing each to be an expert in the knowledge of his country, the preserves, and animals. Each was a wealth of information and could / would answer just about any question you asked about their country, the parks we were in, the animals, and even background on themselves. Very personable, and expert drivers on the pothole filled roads in these countries. The “roads“ in the preserves were often nothing more than two tire tracks, and yet they seemed to know them all and where to go. But be prepared, definitely a bumpy ride. They did their utmost to find the animals for us— and they did!! There is a sign in the Nairobi airport that defines Safari as ‘an outing where most of the day is predictable except what you actually came to see’. And while this may be true, the guides made sure that we got to see everything we wanted. And every night they washed and cleaned up the vehicle so the windows would be free of the ubiquitous dust. When a tour guest had a problem or issue, they did their utmost to resolve it ( MANY thx to you, Simon!!). They also helped us navigate immigration between Kenya and Tanzania, which was a chaotic zoo.
The write-up on this tour says extra binoculars, beanbags for cameras, and ladders for seniors are available. You may have to ask for these in advance as they were not automatically supplied. (The 70+ y/o members of our group, were quite agile and had no need of a ladder). The guides had a (singular) pair of binoculars that they were happy to share if people did not bring their own.
Having a few days of “cool down“ on the beaches in Zanzibar was a great way to end the trip after so many days of Safari.
The one – – and only one – – downside that I can note on this trip was that after being pampered in Kenya with Wi-Fi and each seat having a charger for your electronics, is that it was a bit of a letdown to not have them working in the Tanzania cars. But of course we had all brought our own chargers anyway.
As a sidenote, I long for the “Zen“ that our driver John had. Hakuna Matata!

Efficient
Thank you Lucy from camptrek, for arranging such a great tour for me and Alex, Lucy gave her best shot, she reply email promptly, assisted us and answered our questions. Your guide Eric was nice and experienced, he always gave us an insightful perspective to look at the nature. He also gave his best to look for the animals and efficiently communicate with us about the schedule.
They were very professional.
We spent a long time getting the right bespoke safari. It was worth it. We fly to Samburu and stayed in Larsens camp. Top end luxury camp at reasonable rates. The food there was the best I have ever eaten in Kenya. And I have lived in Kenya for 26 years. The staff, a majority Samburu, were superb. The manager Eric was always present to make sure everything was running smoothly. The camp had a visit from one of the local elephants, Obama (I think) which the staff handled professionally - giving Obama all the space he needed whilst making sure the guests were safe. It was fun and amazing to be so close to a giant! T
We travelled by road (not my first choice) to Loisaba camp. Which was heavenly although the food couldnt top the experience in Laresens, the experience was fantastic- who needs to go the Mara when between Samburu and Loisaba we saw EVERYTHING with the added bonus of far fewer vehicles. We even got charged by a black Rhino (called William apparently). We are heading back to both these places again next year and want to try the Helicopter ride out of Loisaba- apparently a once in a life time experience.....

Incredible safari with the best guide ever
Our family of four, including two teenagers, spent 14 unforgettable days on safari with Camp Trek, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience.
From the very beginning, everything was organized perfectly. Every transfer, the great accommodations, and activity worked exactly as planned, and the entire trip ran without a single issue. We also appreciated travelling in a modern, comfortable, and well-maintained safari car.
However, what truly makes or breaks a safari is the guide. We were incredibly fortunate to have Pili Pili as our guide. He is simply outstanding - champions league!
For him, guiding is not just a job—it is clearly his passion. His knowledge of wildlife is exceptional, and he shared fascinating insights about the animals, the landscapes, the culture, and the people of Kenya. We learned so much every single day.
On top of that, Pili Pili is an extremely safe and considerate driver. He treats both wildlife and people with great respect, and always made us feel comfortable and secure.
We cannot imagine a better guide and would recommend Camp Trek anytime. If you have the chance to request Pili Pili, do it!

Camptrek Safaris organized and delivered the trip of a lifetime!
Camptrek Safaris organized and delivered the trip of a lifetime for our family of four, with two children ages 15 and 11. I worked extensively with Rose to customize our itinerary, activities, and lodging. During the booking process, when a lodge was not available, Rose found a great alternative, and adjusted the prices with clarity and integrity. We had wonderful guides, saw the big 5, and witnessed the great migration in the northern Serengeti. Our trip was full of animals, landscapes, culture, good food, music, and dancing. It was 12 days of wonder for our family. is a bit of a leap of faith to book a dream trip and send so much money overseas, but Camptrek communicated clearly every step of the way and once we arrived in Kenya and Tanzania, everything was executed as planned. It is a small company, but I highly recommend giving them a chance to lead your safari!

an unforgettable and excellent journey in Kenya
Among countless local tour operators, we chose Camp Trek primarily because of Margaret's exceptional efficiency. Almost every email I sent received a reply within half an hour—even late at night in Kenya. When we met in Nairobi, I even joked with her, asking if she was a superhuman who could work 24/7 without rest.
After landing, we were handed over to our guide Ben. He is a highly professional safari guide who opened the door to Africa’s wild world for us. We saw nearly every animal we had hoped to encounter, and each time he positioned the vehicle perfectly—right in the ideal spot—for breathtaking views.
Every detail of the trip matched exactly what we had booked beforehand. We were extremely satisfied and found the entire experience trustworthy.

Tour was perfectly planned and tailored to individual needs! Thumbs Up!!
The tour was excellently planned by Augustine of Camptrek Safaris, who also joined during part of the trip with great insights and guidance! The itinerary included Amboseli, Samburu and Masai Mara in that order, which was a perfect setup to experience the fantastic landscapes and wildlife of Kenya!! Game drives were orchestrated nicely and transfer between parks worked seamlessly!
