Excellent communication, highly flexible and amazingly professional/friendly
Amazing safari experience. From the start, John was extremely helpful with creating an itinerary that suited our needs. At the last moment, we had some flight issues that led to a delay, but the Camptrek Safaris Team was highly flexible to arrange alternative arrangements. This was beyond what we would normally expect from a touring company.
Our guide, Jackson, was highly knowledgable about the flora and fauna throughout the safari as well as Kenyan culture and history. We are lucky to have had him as our guide. He was available from the very start until drop off at the airport late in the evening. His professionalism, friendliness and hospitality were amazing.
Thank you John and Jackson for giving us such an amazing experience! I would recommend Camptrek Safaris to anyone considering a safari in this region.

Fantastic Tour
My husband and I took the 10 Day Signature Adventure Tour. We were celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. The Go Touch Down team acknowledge our special day at every accommodation. This company was so organized, I was really impressed with the level of detail and access to our trip itinerary. Everything went as planned and adjustments were communicated. Very reliable. The accommodations were great, and all of the activities planned maximized your visit.
The guides, drivers and other staff were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. The food was also very good! The value for the money matched the tour expectations. I would highly recommend this tour and Go Touch Down.

Amazing adventure up Mount Kenya
My friend and I had an amazing time spending 4 days hiking up and down to the summit of Mt Kenya.
Patricks’ organisation included a 3 hour transfer from Nairobi through the stunning Kenyan countryside.
Once at Mt Kenya, our guide Charles and his team of porters made every effort to make us comfortable during the hike, carrying all our bags, providing some very tasty meals 3 times a day (which impressive considering they have to carry everything on their backs), sharing their local knowledge about the mountain, and answering all our weird specific questions about plants, birds, rocks, and glaciers!
The first day consisted of the transfer and walking from the hike to Moses cabin (3000m) where we had rented some seriously thick sleeping bags for the night. Along the way you might see Zebra, Baboons, and Waterbuck.
On day 2 you hike 6 hours through some beautiful valleys up to Shipton cabin (4000m) surrounded by amazing landscapes, plants, and wildlife. Once at Shipton it gets quite cold so remember to pack multiple thermals, thick socks and jackets.
On the 3rd day, we woke up at 3am to ascend to the summit (4800m), this was a tough ascent on scree and snow but well worth the feeling of standing in an other worldly environment seeing the sunrise. Charles and the other guides always put our safety first, cutting a path through the frozen snow for us on the way back down. We decided to get some extra sleep outside on a rock surrounded by the mountains and were treated to a picnic breakfast in our sleep bags by the team which was a unique surprise!
The you to walk then back through the valleys to Moses camp in preparation to hiking down to the gate and the transfer back to Nairobi on the 4th day.
Thanks to Patrick, Charles, and the team for organising and taking us on an amazing adventure that we will remember for the rest of our lives!

Seven Day Safari
We did the seven day safari between Masai Mara/Nakaru/Naivasha/Amboseli and had an amazing time.
There was a slight delay in the airport transfer although this was very early in the morning and not too long. There was also a 5% fee for paying by card when we arrived which wasn't communicated beforehand (even though we had used the same payment method for the deposit with no fee!)
Once the safari was underway everything was great, particularly our driver Alex who was friendly and knowledgeable in spotting and telling us about the animals and also helpful in stopping at cash points/safaricom shop and anything else we needed when travelling.

Incredible experience, had the best time!
We had the best time with Tanzania Wildheart Adventures. They were very responsive, punctual and offered flexibility. We were really happy with our guide Harry, he knew exactly where to find the animals, did an amazing job getting us around, he knew the parks by heart, we saw 3 leopards and rinos!
We saw that many people that went with other companies paid double than what we paid with Tanzania Wildheart Adventures, so we knew we got a good deal with them and will recommend to everyone!

A once in a lifetime adventure
A great tour at a great price. Food and accommodation were exquisite and the guide was relentless in getting us close to the big five. Highly recommend.

Wildlife Safaris provided us with an exceptional safari experience.
When I first contacted Wildlife Safaris, I was unsure what type of experience would be suitable for our liking. Jonathan was very helpful in responding to my endless questions and helped to narrow down the best options for my wife and I for a Kruger National Park safari. The end result was an exceptional safari experience. Nick Snyman was our personal guide and driver for our five day safari. He provided excellent information and commentary without overwhelming us with too much detail. He is a very knowledgeable guide and has a keen eye to spot wildlife. Nick is a very personable guide with whom we enjoyed spending our five days. He was very good at looking after us and making sure our needs were addressed. We spent a night at Sabie River Lodge which was quite nice and comfortable. Then spent a night inside the park at Skukuza lodge. Though a bit rustic and dated, the hut was clean and adequate. We ended our safari by spending two nights at Mohlabetsi private lodge which sits within Balule private game reserve. Mohlabetsi is an outstanding boutique accommodation with large well appointed huts and attached outdoor private shower. The staff our outstanding and the grounds are beautiful. Meals are served in different settings including an outdoor dinner around an open fire. The food was very good at Mohlabetsi though not outstanding. We were fortunate to see the Big Five as well as numerous other wildlife, often up close. The open-air safari vehicles provided a nice safari viewing experience.
I highly recommend Wildlife Safaris and would love to use their services again.

Fun, interesting info given, saw SoOo many animals!
Our driver from hotel to Pilanesberg was great; he drove safely, was courteous and informative. When we arrived at the Park, our driver was T. He made sure we had good views of all the animals, he let people in private vehicles know where the lions and cheetahs were, he pulled out his phone to give us information on birds we saw and made sure that we all had a great time!!
