一次难忘的非洲旅行 在无数家地接社中,选择了Camp Trek, 最主要的原因是Margaret 的高效工作。我发出去的每一封邮件几乎在半小时内会收到回复,哪怕是肯尼亚当地的深夜。所以,在内罗毕见面的时候,我还和她开玩笑,问她是不是铁人,24小时无休。 等落地后,我们被交接给了我们的向导Ben。他是一位非常专业的Safari向导,带我们打开了非洲野生世界的大门,我们见到了几乎所有期待中能看到的动物,而且每次他都把车停到绝对的C位,让我们大饱眼福。 整个行程的所有安排都与出发前预定的一致,非常满意,值得信任

Way more than expected!! The tour was excellently planned by Augustine of Camptrek Safaris, who also joined during part of the trip with great insights and guidance! The itinerary included Amboseli, Samburu and Masai Mara in that order, which was a perfect setup to experience the fantastic landscapes and wildlife of Kenya!! Game drives were orchestrated nicely and transfer between parks worked seamlessly!

Professional, reliable, and excellent value for money from planning to the final day of the safari. We had an amazing 9-day safari in Kenya with Camptrek Safaris, visiting Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. From the very beginning, the communication was excellent, and every question we had was answered promptly and professionally. A special thank you to Lucy, who was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. She was patient, responsive, and always willing to assist with itinerary adjustments, hotel confirmations, visa documents, and travel arrangements. Her support gave us great confidence before the trip. We would also like to thank our driver-guide, Anto. He was knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife. His experience helped us spot many animals, including lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, and countless other species. He was always punctual, drove safely, and made every game drive enjoyable and memorable. Overall, Camptrek Safaris provided outstanding service, excellent value for money, and a truly unforgettable safari experience. We would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Kenya.

An Unforgetable Experience! Our safari was entitled: 14-DAY SPIRIT & SOUL OF KENYA AND TANZANIA EPIC SAFARI. My brother and I began planning this safari adventure in September 2025. We researched many safari companies, and enquired about safaris with a few of them. After careful consideration, we decided on Camptrek Safaris and are more than pleased and satisfied. Each request for this custom-made safari was fulfilled. Rose has a wealth of information & a great help with initial planning & itinerary adjustments. We visited the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Masai Mara National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Amboseli National Park. The accommodations were tented camps in most places. This was expected, as many of them are in the park and there are no fancy hotels. Very comfortable rooms/tents, all with toilets and showers & were more than satisfactory. The price for this 2 week safari was very fair. Our first driver/guide, Samuel, was very informative in describing the animal behavior and excellent in spotting them! These first game drives were absolulty AMAZING. Samuel was excellent in getting to where the animals were & even spotted all of the Big 5 on our second day! We had to change drivers at the Tanzania border, and Alex, our new driver was excellent as well. We spent 2 days in the Central Serengeti and 2 more days in the Southern Serengeti, a full day in each location. Alex was a great spotter, enabling us to see the Big 5 again, as well as lots of wildebeest and calves! Then back to the Kenyan border and another driver. John, our new driver, was as excellent as the other two. Our destination wih him was Ngorongoro Crater & Amboseli National Park. On our final day, John drove us to the Nairobi airport, met there by Rose. Then onward back home. I cannot say enough great things about Camptrek Safaris. They met all of our expectations above and beyond & provided a lifetime of cherised memories! Seeing hundreds of different safari companies while on the game drives, cannot imagine any of them could be better than Camptrek Safaris. A very special thanks to our travel coordinator Rose, and our three drivers - Samuel, Alex, and John.

Wonderful Trip with Camptrek We absolutely recommend Camptrek, and specifically Ben as your guide/host/wildlife expert. We enjoyed a five-day safari across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. Ben was outstanding in safely getting us to each location, and we were immediately greeted upon arrival every time. Every detail was seamless, and if there was a change requested, it was taken into account. Of course, we had an amazing time all over Kenya. This is certainly in large part to Ben’s logistical expertise and great attitude. He is kind, welcoming, and took great care of us. 10/10 recommend and will look forward to returning to book with Camptrek again in the future.

14-DAY SPIRIT & SOUL OF KENYA AND TANZANIA EPIC SAFARI. Our safari was entitled: 14-DAY SPIRIT & SOUL OF KENYA AND TANZANIA EPIC SAFARI. My sister and I began planning this safari adventure in September 2025. We researched many safari companies, and enquired about safaris with a few of them. After careful consideration, we decided on Camptrek Safaris and are more than pleased and satisfied. Our travel coordinator, Rose, was very prompt in answering my many, many questions during the planning stage. Each request for this custom-made safari was fulfilled. Rose has a wealth of information in all aspects, from initial planning, itinerary adjustments, payment methods, accommodation arrangements and making sure we got to go to the places we wanted to see. Rose also arranged for a 2 day hotel stay after our arrival in Nairobi so we could adjust to the time change from the U.S., and all of the other accommodations she arranged were more than satisfactory. The price for this 2 week safari was very fair. We visited the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Masai Mara National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Amboseli National Park. Our first driver/guide, Samuel, met us at our hotel a bit earlier than arranged, accompanied by Rose. He loaded our luggage into the Land Cruiser and then Rose gave us a briefing as to what our safari would entail. We wanted to stand on the Equator, and that was our first stop. Then we were on to Ol Pejeta for a game drive prior to checking in at our camp. After lunch, we embarked on another game drive. Samuel was very informative in describing the animal behavior and excellent in spotting them. We took another game drive on the way to Lake Naivasha. We took a boat ride and a walking safari while there. Then it was on to Masai Mara National Reserve. After check in and lunch, we embarked on a game drive and spotted all of the Big 5. Samuel was in communication with other drivers and was excellent in getting to where the animals were. We spent all of the next day in the Masai Mara, witnessing many things, including lions feeding on a topi and a leopard in a tree that had an impala draped over a branch. We had to change drivers at the Tanzania border, and Alex, our new driver was excellent as well. We spent 2 days in the Central Serengeti and 2 more days in the Southern Serengeti, a full day in each location, seeing the Big 5 again and thousands of wildebeest and calves. Alex was also in communication with other drivers and is an excellent spotter. We saw three cheetah brothers atop a rock and another mother cheetah with two cubs. All this in addition to the many other animals in the park. Many many zebra, giraffes, cape buffalo, gazelles and impala. We then drove to the Ngorongoro Crater and saw all but the leopard of the Big 5 there, in addition to zebra, gazelles, impala, flamingos and other birds. Then on to the Kenyan border and another driver switch. John, our new driver, was as excellent as the other two. Our destination was Amboseli National Park, and he gave us information on many of the animals there and was excellent in spotting them. We had an afternoon game drive and then a full day game the next day. John took us to the Nairobi airport and we were met there by Rose. Then onward back home. The accommodations were tented camps in most places. This was expected, as many of them are in the park and there are no fancy hotels. Very comfortable rooms/tents, all with toilets and showers. We spent 2 nights in four different camps. I cannot say enough great things about Camptrek Safaris. They met all of our expectations above and beyond. The vehicles were comfortable, in spite of the road conditions (many pot holes and ruts in the dirt and gravel roads) We saw hundreds of different safari companies while on the game drives. I cannot imagine any of them could be better than Camptrek Safaris. They provided us with a lifetime of memories and are very thankful to them. Special thanks to our travel coordinator Rose, and our three drivers - Samuel, Alex, and John.

Amazing 10days trip safari and camping We returned home amazed after a 10-day camping safari trip with Eric and Mambo from Camptrek across Kenya. Travelling with them was so easy, so meticulously organised and professional that we felt completely at ease throughout the trip, allowing us to fully enjoy the landscapes, culture, game drives and animals. The entire trip was an opportunity for excellent exchanges and discussions with our guides, allowing us to discover the country and the regions we travelled through in greater depth. Thank you again for this amazing trip!

Camptrek Safari Company : Wonderful From the moment I emailed the company, until the drop off at the airport to return home, Camptrek was prompt, professional, thorough, and above all, accommodating to our group of 12! Margaret replied to my email with speed and ideas for a customized trip that included my 96 year old father and a sister with Downs Syndrome. After many emails and a what’s app call to summarize the trip a few days before the departure to Nairobi, Margaret made me feel so confident that the trip would be a success. Once we arrived, she was there with a sign so we could board the jeeps quickly. Waiting for us were the BEST drivers/ guides who would make our safari day and evening experiences a dream of a lifetime. Geofrey and Pili made us feel welcomed and informed about every aspect of the safari experience such as pointing out small details about animals, culture , people, or anything any of us wanted to know! We quickly formed a bond that I know will bring us together again! I recommend Camptrek to everyone reading this review. I will definitely keep them at the top of my list as a company, but even more as new friends! Thank you Margaret, Geofrey, and Pili!

Awesome Safari Trip!!!! My trip to Kenya was made great because we used Camptrek Safaris for our Safari excusrsion. Three things remained constant on our trip: 1. They were always on time 2. They kept us engaged in all parts of our trip 3. They were always kind We were a group of 12 traveling with our 96 year old patriarch and they made everyone feel special as if the trip was just for them. The team was top notch and I absolutely had no complaints. If you are looking for a team that will put you first and make you feel special Camptrek Safaris is the team.

Excellent Safari. Good value for money We (a family of five from Denmark with age of children being 10, 13 and 15 years) had a very good private safari with Camptrek Safaris. We booked a 4 night/5 day safari that took us to Masai Mare, Lake Nakuru, Naiwasha and Hell’s Gate National Park. Lucy was always very fast and helpful when communicating with her during the booking from Denmark, and she was there to send us off in Nairobi and when we came back after the safari. And our driver, Pili Pili, was exellent. Thank you CampTrek Safaris. This is a trustworthy company. Thanks!

We Are Highly Recommended

We then drove to the Ngorongoro Crater and saw all but the leopard of the Big 5 there, in addition to zebra, gazelles, impala, flamingos and other birds. Then on to the Kenyan border and another driver switch. John, our new driver, was as excellent as the other two. Our destination was Amboseli National Park, and he gave us information on many of the animals there and was excellent in spotting them. We had an afternoon game drive and then a full day game the next day. John took us to the Nairobi airport and we were met there by Rose. Then onward back home. The accommodations were tented camps in most places. This was expected, as many of them are in the park and there are no fancy hotels. Very comfortable rooms/tents, all with toilets and showers. We spent 2 nights in four different camps. I cannot say enough great things about Camptrek Safaris. They met all of our expectations above and beyond. The vehicles were comfortable, in spite of the road conditions (many pot holes and ruts in the dirt and gravel roads) We saw hundreds of different safari companies while on the game drives. I cannot imagine any of them could be better than Camptrek Safaris. They provided us with a lifetime of memories and are very thankful to them. Special thanks to our travel coordinator Rose, and our three drivers - Samuel, Alex, and John.

Amazing 10days trip safari and camping We returned home amazed after a 10-day camping safari trip with Eric and Mambo from Camptrek across Kenya. Travelling with them was so easy, so meticulously organised and professional that we felt completely at ease throughout the trip, allowing us to fully enjoy the landscapes, culture, game drives and animals. The entire trip was an opportunity for excellent exchanges and discussions with our guides, allowing us to discover the country and the regions we travelled through in greater depth. Thank you again for this amazing trip!

Camptrek Safari Company : Wonderful From the moment I emailed the company, until the drop off at the airport to return home, Camptrek was prompt, professional, thorough, and above all, accommodating to our group of 12! Margaret replied to my email with speed and ideas for a customized trip that included my 96 year old father and a sister with Downs Syndrome. After many emails and a what’s app call to summarize the trip a few days before the departure to Nairobi, Margaret made me feel so confident that the trip would be a success. Once we arrived, she was there with a sign so we could board the jeeps quickly. Waiting for us were the BEST drivers/ guides who would make our safari day and evening experiences a dream of a lifetime. Geofrey and Pili made us feel welcomed and informed about every aspect of the safari experience such as pointing out small details about animals, culture , people, or anything any of us wanted to know! We quickly formed a bond that I know will bring us together again! I recommend Camptrek to everyone reading this review. I will definitely keep them at the top of my list as a company, but even more as new friends! Thank you Margaret, Geofrey, and Pili!

Awesome Safari Trip!!!! My trip to Kenya was made great because we used Camptrek Safaris for our Safari excusrsion. Three things remained constant on our trip: 1. They were always on time 2. They kept us engaged in all parts of our trip 3. They were always kind We were a group of 12 traveling with our 96 year old patriarch and they made everyone feel special as if the trip was just for them. The team was top notch and I absolutely had no complaints. If you are looking for a team that will put you first and make you feel special Camptrek Safaris is the team.

Excellent Safari. Good value for money We (a family of five from Denmark with age of children being 10, 13 and 15 years) had a very good private safari with Camptrek Safaris. We booked a 4 night/5 day safari that took us to Masai Mare, Lake Nakuru, Naiwasha and Hell’s Gate National Park. Lucy was always very fast and helpful when communicating with her during the booking from Denmark, and she was there to send us off in Nairobi and when we came back after the safari. And our driver, Pili Pili, was exellent. Thank you CampTrek Safaris. This is a trustworthy company. Thanks!
