simply "MAL D'AFRICA" ("longing for Africa")
Title express completely our feeling (myself and my son) after this experience.
We felt (and we're still feeling) a deep emotional connection and desire to experience (back) the continent of Africa, its culture, and its landscapes.
It think it's linked to a variety of factors: personal experiences, cultural heritage, romanticized view of Africa.
An intense and profound nostalgia felt during and after our jurney and wish to return.
it's an emotional and spiritual feeling, difficult to explain clearly:
- a strong desire to return to the places visited, to relive the emotions felt and to immerse oneself again in African culture.
- a sense of inadequacy and impatience in resuming our daily routine after having lived the African experience
- images, colours, sounds and smells of Africa suddenly resurface, creating a sense of nostalgia and desire.
ALL the above is absolutely linked, inextricablyis to our Camptrek Safari team, our "guardian angels", Augustine and Last.
They were just perfect in every respect, professional, empathy, knowledge of the populations, animals, history and parks: I really do not know how many questions, experiences... and also jokes we've shared with them.
I will never forget the moments of great emotion that I saw my son experience, on his faces, his eyes, his tears: all of this will remain with us forever, in our memories (or better... until next adventures with them! :-))
We would like to thank Petite Margaret as well: she's been simply perfect in guide us at the time of drawing the jurney (10 days: Mombasa - Tsavo East - Amboseli - Tsavo West - Taita Hills - Diani Beach - Mombasa) and supporting us for any kind of info/doubts/also fears we faced during the booking.
CAMPTREK GUYS: THANKS FOR ALL and... AFRICA IS A FEELING, YES!

PERFECT!
We had the most incredible time with Red Africa Safaris in Kruger. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and stress-free. The real highlight, though, was our guide Jaco.
Jaco was everything you could hope for in a safari guide; deeply knowledgeable, incredibly passionate about wildlife, and wonderfully personable. His expertise allowed us to see the park in a way that most visitors never do. We spotted the Big Five and many other birds and animals and learned fascinating facts about animal behavior, tracks, and the delicate balance of the ecosystem. Jaco’s respect for the animals and environment really stood out. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does.
The lodges were beautiful, comfortable, and set in the most stunning locations. The food was delicious, and the service was always warm and welcoming. You could really feel how much the team cared about making the trip special. I would highly recommend Red Africa Safaris!

Lots of Animals, perfect driver and chef
We had such a great time with mountain warriors. Our driver Grayson did everything he could to drive as close as possible to the animals without scaring the animals. He also made sure that we could see a lot of animals, we could even see a rhino from far distance (and also a leopard, cheetah, lions and lots of elefants). He provided us a lot of information about the animals and answered all of our questions. We are so glad he guided our tour!
Our Chef Mariam was absolutely lovely and cooked super delicious and healthy meals for us. We couldn’t wish for better.
These guys are working so hard to make your experience wonderful, it’s insane. The lodges we had were perfectly fine and sleeping in a tent in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was a real experience. The washrooms at the campsites are not like European standards, but we didn’t care. We had a really nice group from different countries and made some new friends through the journey. We can highly recommend booking the safari with mountain warriors :)!

Great from start to finish
Had a great experience with Meru slopes. Everything worked smoothly from start to finish. We were well taken care of by our guide Francis who made us feel safe throughout!
Communication, food, and overnight stays were all excellent. We learned and saw a lot. Value for money is good and the tour lived up to our high expectations. Thank you Jerome, Francis and team - you made us feel at home in Tanzania!

Amazing tour! Amazing guide! Amazing value!
Vincent, the tour operator manager, was very responsive to email and answered my questions quickly. The tour was perfect and great value for the cost! The game drives were amazing and our driver (Moses) was one of the best drivers I’ve ever had ! He did such a good job bringing us close to animals and was so patient and persistent to make sure we had the best animal sightings. Accommodation was nicer than I expected and was perfect for cost, great value for more budget-friendly travelers. 3 day, 2 night masai mara tour was excellent and exceeded my expectations!

Amazing
We went in Ouganda in July 2025 , with as guide Jean-Paul it was amazing, very nice person and very professional!! Ouganda is beautiful country with very kind people and beautiful landscape. We could Trekk across the savanna, tropical forest and swamps , so some differents worlds!! But the amazing is the Gorillas, we trekked 2h to find them and the efforts were necessary to have this privilege!! I would like to say many thanks to Jean Paul and wild frontiere for this unforgettable experience.
Meektrails goes above and beyond to make sure your Safari is great from beginning to end.
Okay let's start from the beginning. The ride from the airport did not show. I messaged Meektrails and they sent someone to pick us up. The driver they sent Tom (awesome), ended up being our driver for the time we spent in Nairobi. Meektrails was very informative and communicative, from before the time I booked with them until the end of our trip. The best part of our 7 day 6 night trip was not the animals but our guide. It was our safari guide and now part of our "Family By Choice" Robin. He was educational fun and a true professional, if you are lucky enough to get Robin as your guide consider yourself fortunate. The safari itself was magnificent, the lodging, the food and the staff at the lodges were great. In closing I want to personally thank Meektrails Safari for helping me check off my biggest lifetime bucket list item in a perfect way.

Dedicated and professional
I had an unforgettable safari experience! We saw absolutely all the animals one could hope to see on a safari, it was beyond our expectations. Our guide, Raymond, was incredibly dedicated and professional. He truly did his best to give us the most amazing experience possible.
We leave with wonderful memories. We laughed, we were moved, surprised, we felt every emotion you can imagine. This journey touched our hearts in the most beautiful way. Thank you, Raymond, for making it so special.
About axis safari, this agency was professional and very caring. Thanks to them, we had an unforgettable and incredible safari experience.

Amazing
The safari was absolutely amazing! We saw the Big Five and so many other animals, some of which were right next to the car.
Our driver, Rastaman aka Lewis, was fantastic – he always knew exactly where to get the best views and was generally very open, helpful, and friendly.
The food from our chef, Tito, was also really delicious and always fresh. The tents were also incredibly clean.
It was a fantastic experience that we would recommend to everyone!
PS: Nights in the Ngorongoro Crater are very cold, so be sure to bring warm clothing/thermal underwear.
