Amazing staff etc. Amazing amazing amazing work.
Will sure book next trip with you.
Thoroughly recommend CampTrek Safais, we were so well looked after and had an amazing time.
My husband and I went on Camptreks 10 day Kenya and Tanzania safari in September 2023. We had an amazing time and highly recommend CampTrek for their professionalism, knowledge and friendliness. From before our trip John was extremely helpful with any questions and prompt with any communications. Our drivers were exceptionally knowledgeable, trustworthy and most importantly just great friendly people. The accommodation probably exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t put anything to fault.
A big shout out to John and his team for such a wonderful experience, we are truly thankful!

Best travel partner in Tanzania
Will run short words praising the management of Zafs tours - we planned 20 days trip with zafs starting from our trek to Kilimanjaro, followed by safari and Zanzibar indulgence.
One good decision that made our trip something to cherish for life.
Zafs and their highly qualified trek team - made our journey worth every min. Our Trek leader Ben was an inspiration, his patience , camaraderie and ability to gently making sure we summit safely was commendable. His knowledge of flora and fauna around made our trek day something to look forward to.
Huzeifa planned our itinerary and needless to say - how well curated it was to suit our likings.
Left Tanzania with a heavy heart and wanting for more. This ain’t going to be our last trip to Tanzania and with Zafs

The best Safari
Beacon Safaris surpassed all of our expectations. We are a family of five adults who booked a 10 day safari. Everything from the hotels to the game drives was amazing. Ken, our guide, made our experience unforgettable. He was extremely nice, knowledgable and accommodating. He made sure that we always had everything we needed and went the extra mile to make sure that we saw all of the animals we wanted to see. From the first day, we saw a pride of lions, a leopard kill and family of elephants right next to our car. Everyday after that, we continued to be amazed by all of the animals we saw. The hotels booked by Beacon were great. The only complaint would be in Flamingo Hill Camp, in Lake Nakuru, where our rooms where located near the town border and that night the music did not stop until four am. Apart from that, all of the other places were amazing.
When we began talking to Robert to book our safari, communication was great and very efficient. However, once we got closer to the date and during the safari, communication with Robert became more difficult as we wouldn't receive answers from him until days later.
Despite this, we would recommend Beacon for any future safari booking and we would definitely ask for Ken!

Great experience
High Peaks Expeditions was a random choice from the internet, after reviewing the comments and notations. Choice was good, for a 2 days Safari at Mikumi starting from our hotel in Zanzibar and returning to International airport for our return to Paris. Mikumi is a fantastic place with very close sights of the fascinating wild life. Issa was an experienced guide and driver, he managed to find the right spots. Park was not crowded during this mid season, it has been a great experience in all aspects. Ally is managing and following at a distance but always present if required

A dream came true
We had booked the 8 day/7 night safari including Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. And it was worth every penny.
Raphael, our tour operator, always stayed in touch with us whenever we needed him from the first email until we left. He customized the tour based on what we wanted to do and see. The lodges he suggested could be modified for our purpose. They were all really good, some even excellent.
Our guide and driver Oscar was the perfect man for a safari with all his knowledge, driving skills and humor. He has a lot of experience and is flexible whenever necessary.
We had a large extended Land Cruiser with plenty of space for two people. Chilled drinks on board were included. The pop-up roof was perfect for taking photos.
The most important thing: We saw so many animals, some very, very close. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants... even a rhinoceros. Everything the national park has to offer. They call it. Overall, we were very lucky to watch the great migration with thousands of wildebeest near us.
We can definitely recommend Safari Soles. On our last day, Bryson, the company's manager, came to our hotel to say goodbye. Perfect

Circle of Life feeling
This tour is very organized from the initial inquiry, to pick-up, to the schedule, to the accommodation, to the food until the drop-off. I don’t need to worry on anything. I just need to show up and be prepared to see the animals. They responded to queries promptly and the booking process is very quick and easy. We went to places as described. Masai Mara’s landscape is really beautiful. We saw a lot of wildlife including 4 of the big 5 (except rhino). We also saw a lot of actions like a lion hunting and catching a pumba, vultures eating an animal, leopard climbing a tree, and lions swimming and sun bathing. Our guide, Richard, made sure that we see the good stuff. Roger is very helpful with the photos (he’s a professional photographer). Masai Mara is definitely the highlight of my Kenya trip. Lake Nakuru is also wonderful. Unfortunately, we were a bit late because someone decided to enjoy his breakfast so we didn’t see the black rhino. Good thing we saw the white rhino and flamingos. There are optional activities on this tour:
- Visit to Masai Village ($20) - honestly, I feel like it’s ok to skip this. It’s a bit “staged” but it’s also a way of helping the community.
- Boat tour in Lake Naivasha and Safari walk ($45) - it’s a nice experience. We saw hippos and different bird species during the boat tour. The walking safari feels like a walk in a farm.
The camp and hotel we stayed on are good although the shower water flow in Lenchada Camp can be improved (hot water is available). There’s no wifi in the camp and electricity is only available at 6-10pm and 5:30-7:30am whose is fine with me. The food included in the tour is good too. They’re mostly local food which is good. Overall, this is highly recommended tour.

Adam was friendly and courteous and knowledgeable, he was focused on providing a memorable tour.
I found Dream Bandas to be a thoroughly professional and reliable company. The arrangements in place in the national park meant that we were assured of a successful encounter with a family of gorillas, and in our case, our trek into the jungle was actually quite short.

Looked for animals and explained everything well!
This tour was one of our best! I loved the Jeep and sitting up high we could see all the animals. Our guide was wonderful and tried his best.

Great 8 days in Kenya
Me and my mom spent great 8 days in Kenya with Meektrails Safaris.
The planning and communication before our arrival was smooth, Pauline was very responsive and provided answers to all my questions.
On the first day of Safari we were picked up from our hotel on the agreed time, greeted by Pauline, Daniel and our guide for the week - Anthony. Anthony made our safari experience great, he is a very positive person, provided us a lot of information about the plants and animals and made sure we see all the big 5 animals before the end of our tour.
The accommodation at Ziwa Bush Lodge can be highlighted as it felt luxurious, the rest of the lodges were fine as well for the mid-range category.
At the end of the safari we were dropped off at our hotel in Nairobi.
I can definitely recommend booking with Meektrails Safaris.
