A very pleasant 7-day Safari
I really enjoyed the safari organized by Susan. The agency picked me up from my hosts' house and dropped me off at the train station so I could continue my adventure.
I had the chance to visit two large parks and two lakes during my adventure. I saw the Big Five there. Our guide, John, was very proactive in ensuring everyone could take photos of the animals by choosing the best spot.
Each hotel and camp was well chosen and allowed us to have a pleasant stay, even with the economy version.
I highly recommend this agency.

Great experience on the safari
We made a private tour - 10 days Safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. After then, 2 days relaxing in Zanzibar.
Our sarafi tour was excellent, we had Amin as a driver and guide, who is really awesome. He knows a lot about animals, history and birds and was able to spot every animal even while driving in huge distances. He mus have eagle-eyes! Above that, he is really a nice and funny guy, its also worth to hang around with him!
So 5-6 stars for the safari tour.
We were a little bit unhappy with zanzibar because Allano offered us Nungwi Beach Resort by Turaco for 2 days. We paied for it for 2 days (650 USD) but one week before departure he tould us that this resort is booked and that he changed to another "which is the same". That other "rresort" turned out to be the zenobia, wrecked down, no pool, and above that without electricity - no ac or fan in the night in the hot season. Rated by 3 stars and 100 USD per night. We checked at booking come and find out, that Turaco has still 4 rooms avaiulable. A lot of discussions with Allonao, he changed, but his biggest mistake was that he tried to charge us the Turaco again for the second night again. I was really upset and asked whim why we paied Turaco months ago and now should pay for it again - and finally he ageed and takes the costs for the second night. So in the end: We paied 2 nights Turaco 4 stars and got 1 night Tureaco and 1 night Zenopia 3 stars. Allaon, that was not ok. Apart from that, he was rellay a nice guy and always friendly.
So 3 stars for the Zanzibar part.
Conclusion: 4 stars
Book with him if you do the safari. I can't be better.
Book yourself with booking come for Zanzibar. That will avoid a lot of argue to get what you paied.

Experience of a lifetime!
Good communication about the booking process.
Good program and everything (pick up, lunch, (cold) drinks, charge possibilities and a clean car every day) was arranged very well.
The guide was very eager to find the big five and we (3 young women) felt save with him.
The guide could share some more information sometimes.
We thought we would spend 2 days in Serengeti, but it were 24 hours.

The best experience
Airport transfer was included. I was grateful. The person in charge was very kind and polite. Although my English was poor, there was a system in place to contact us at any time during the tour if I had any questions, and she valued us as customers. However, when I asked other participants, they had negotiated a slightly lower price, so the price may have been higher. If you pay by card, a 5% surcharge is required, so if you do not prepare US dollars in cash, you will end up spending money unnecessarily.

He knows what he’s doing and talking about
An amazing experience. Steve (our driver) made great choices that made us se the animals the best way posible. We saw so many cool animals and the food was great. The roads were very bumpy and a little scary. However I would recommend this trip to everyone.

A land of intrigue and surprise
Ok here goes , we did not know what to expect, don’t do a safari if you have a bad back the roads in the park are terrible, our guide went out of his way to find the big five Lion,Elephant,Buffalo,Cheetah,and Rhino, can’t fault the experience, but surely the powers that be could do something about the roads

Brilliant safari, thankyou Camptrek.
I have given this 4 stars but would have liked to have given 5. The only thing letting this safari down was the interior of the jeep. The inside wasn't what we expected, all headrests were broken, reclining seats didn't work properly, windows rattled as seals missing etc.This was out first impression of the experience we were embarking upon and it wasn't a good one.
However my fears were unfounded as ,apart from this, it could not have been better.
Organisation was brilliant, itinerary was great, accommodation far exceeded our expectations and our driver, Eric was fantastic. He was so helpful, friendly and obliging, his knowledge of the various animals, birds etc was outstanding,we couldn't have asked for better. Thankyou Eric, you made our holiday an amazing experience.
