Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Wild life watching in Kenya. Wonderful guides and locations. Amazing sightings and great information on animal behaviour from our guides.

I have been travelling with Naturetrek for many years and know that they look after their clients and deal with any problems swiftly.

We had two days at Elsamere on Lake Naivasha, where we walked at Hell’s Gate and took a boat trip on Lake Naivasha, to see birds and animals at close hand. At Base Camp Maasai Mara, we had 5 days of game viewing which was varied and included many baby animals and their families. We felt safe, comfortable and well cared for at all times. The food was delicious and the service excellent. Our expert guide/driver explained many animal behaviours and made the safari very interesting. It was an excellent holiday.

Naturetrek ensured everything went smoothly during our 8 nights in Kenya. The pre-departure information was clear and delivered in good time. Once in Kenya, the whole trip was very well organised and no detail forgotten. Naturetrek are a very professional company who employ the best wildlife guides and the safest drivers. They even gave us a luxury hotel room before our flight home, to rest and freshen up before we set off for the airport.

Excellent holiday, great hotels, food and company. Really good guides and an impressive area to visit.

Excellent firm with a huge number of wildlife trips

It was a privilege to be lead by an enthusiastic first rate botanist and naturalist who knew the environment intimately. He worked hard to give us a good social and intelectual experience.

Friendly , knowledgeable and very efficient .

Wonderful experience swimming with whalesharks, regular snorkelling, bird watching, seeing dragons.

Everything ran extremely smoothly. We were well looked after from start to finish, with nothing to worry about.

A week-long safari,, staying in a luxury camp. Extremely well organised, brilliant rangers and wonderful staff at Chikunto Safari Lodge. The holiday more than lived up to our expectations.

We have travelled with NATURETREK several times now, and all our trips with them have surpassed our expectations. They are an efficient company with excellent and knowledgeable leaders.

A week in Greece birdwatching from 3 hotels with a nature specialist company - Naturetrek.

Naturetrek provide a huge variety of nature based holidays. Guides are of an excellent standard. Now also feature a small vegan / vegetarian portfolio. Always make you feel looked after.

Organised trip bird watching and walking. Stayed in a farmhouse/hotel close to the airport. Visited lots of bird watching sites and a historic site. Well organised and led.

Good information pre-booking and post-booking. Well organised

Perfectly met my interests as an avid mammalwatcher/lister. Saw 35 iconic African mammals - not just the large animals, but equally the small things - banded and dwarf mongoose, warthogs, jackals and hyaena. Many repeatedly and in great views for photography and just sitting in the moment, as well as numerous colourful birds and fascinating reptiles. Our tour leaders were magnificent guides - the epitome of professionalism, courtesy, friendliness, experience, knowledge and patience throughout the tour, catering for individual's needs and interests while keeping the group cohesive, engaged and enthusiastic. They drove the safari vehicles skillfully (especially when towing the trailer between rest camps) tracking by roadside signs and studying the landscape for animals but ever wary for traffic and time constraints, maneuvering into the best available positions giving us repeatedly close views without compromising the animals' welfare or our safety. Their love of the land and wildlife of South Africa was inspiring. I cannot praise them highly enough and would eagerly sign up for another tour with them.

From the initial general enquiry regarding their brochure through to the final trip joining instructions, the level of customer service impressed me greatly. The availability of online 'virtual roadshows' introduced during the COVID years and continued since were of great use to me as an overseas client in visualising the trip, the animals, the accommodation, the climate and the food choices. The website's inclusion of detailed previous trip reports and species lists made my decision making between trips on offer particularly confident; although nothing can be guaranteed with wildlife watching, repeated sightings of key species and the variety of species seen regularly certainly boded well, nor was I disappointed with our results. Pre-Departure information was excellent, comprehensive and useful. Naturetrek staff also provided prompt replies to all my questions and excellent attention to detail and communication
