Outstanding tailor made safari experience with Gametrackers.
My wife and myself did our first camping safari with Gametrackers in 2012 and we had an excellent time. That’s why I chose Gametrackers again for another safari but this time with our 2 kids, 8 and 12 years old. I wanted a tailor made trip to the northern parks and also visit some off the beaten track locations. Judy in the office took care of all my wishes and also gave me some excellent ideas for some special excursions, like one to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary or a visit to Nghurunit. Judy replied very quickly to my emails and she found a solution for every issue I had organising our trip. Judy and her team at gametrackers also had a little surprise for my daughter’s birthday. Happy kids 😀
Our guide was Rufus and the cook was Caleb. The camping food was excellent, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Caleb did a superb job and the kids loved his pancakes and french toast for breakfast. Dinner was amazing, we had fish, meat, pasta, rice, chapati, ugali, etc.. Caleb never disappointed with his cooking.
Our guide Rufus has over 30 years of experience and has many interesting stories to tell. He did an excellent job driving us around northern Kenya, even though most of our trip was driving off-road. Gametrackers’ old Toyota Landcruisers are very good and can handle even the toughest driving conditions. 5 Stars for Rufus who also got us out of a serious traffic jam using his off-road driving skills and knowledge. I also give Rufus an extra 6th star because of his lion tracking skills in Meru. We got woken up at 5 am by the roaring of lions and Rufus quickly proposed to go and look for them. We jumped in the car and after a short time following lion footprints and listening to their roaring we found them. The kids were very excited.
Our highlights were the hike to the Dragon’s teeth in Aberdare national park, camping in Meru national park where we got elephants visiting our campsite, horse riding with the kids near Naivasha, climbing mount Longonot volcano, Reteti elephant sanctuary and Ol Pejeta where we saw the last 2 northern white rhinos and visited a chimpanzee orphanage. My personal highlight was seeing the Samburu special 5 and our stay a Lion’s cave lodge. Our next safari to Tanzania will definitely be again with Gametrackers. Excellent value for money.

Cordial people and they provide us a BEAUTIFUL experience
Exactly as I have always imagined a safari and Tanzania. Every person we met was kind, friendly, hospitable, and welcoming. The guides were always there to help us with any little emergency and to spot every animal in the vastness of the parks. The accommodations were comfortable and fully met what had been agreed upon at the time of booking.
We truly recommend this experience. Jambo and HAKUNA MATATA!! 🐘🦓🦁🧡

Sadaam was friendly, knowledgeable, punctual and created a great environment for my daughter and I!
Axis met all my expectations! I was scared to do this alone with a child, but Tabitha was phenomenal in helping us plan and Sadaam made us feel welcomed, safe and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. Highly recommend.

An incredible safari experience we will never forget
We had a wonderful 7-day safari with Jimela Africa Safaris and overall it was an experience we would absolutely recommend.
Our guide, Wilson, played a huge role in making the trip so enjoyable. He was friendly, attentive and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the different areas we visited. We learned so much from him throughout the week, and he always made an effort to help us get the most out of every game drive.
The Masai Mara was probably our favourite part of the safari. The amount and variety of wildlife we saw was incredible. Wilson is originally from the area, so his knowledge of the Mara made the experience even better, as he was able to explain so much about the animals, the landscape and the local environment.
Lake Nakuru was also a great experience. We were unlucky with the weather and had quite a lot of rain, but despite that we still managed to see four of the Big Five, which made the visit completely worth it.
Another very special part of the trip was Amboseli. We were lucky enough to see Mount Kilimanjaro clearly and spent the day surrounded by elephants and amazing scenery. It was definitely one of the most beautiful moments of the whole safari.
If we could change one thing about the itinerary, it would probably be the time spent at Lake Naivasha. For us, a full day there felt a little unnecessary, particularly because most of the activities available were not included in the original price and had to be paid separately. Our experience with the activities that day was also not as good as in the other destinations.
However, this was only a small downside in what was otherwise an incredible week. The safari was well worth the money, we saw more wildlife than we could have imagined and came home with some unforgettable memories. We would definitely recommend Jimela Africa Safaris, and especially Wilson, to anyone looking for a safari in Kenya.

Life time experience
My 4-day, 3-night experience with Suricata Safari was the trip of a lifetime.
From booking and airport pickup to local supplies and the safari itself, everything was smooth with exceptionally clear communication and support.
All staff were friendly, and I especially want to thank our guide, Melita!
Melita actively checked what animals we wanted to see and accommodated everyone's needs brilliantly. Naturally, we saw all of the Big Five, and even had the miraculous experience of witnessing a topi giving birth right before my eyes.
All the lodges we stayed at during the safari were great, and as a solo traveler joining a group, the other people in the group were also amazing.
One slight point of improvement: I traveled alone, but was assigned twin beds at two lodges consecutively. Although I communicated with the hotel to get the rooms changed, it would have been nice if they had asked about room preferences in advance.

It is going to be the time of your life!!
We are very happy to have done the tour!
Our tourguide Michael was the best and a man of his words. We saw the Big 5 and a lot more animals.
We recommend the 3 day tour with camping - It was comparatively cheap and 3 days were completely enough for us. And the campsites were perfectly fine. The washrooms couldve been cleaner but all in all it was totally fine.
The organization was also problem-free, we could contact Winnie at any time also it was unnecessary because everything went well:)) Thank you for that!!
Once again a very big thank you to Michael for the unforgettable tour!
