Our Kenyan Safari we choose to do with Imraan and best Camping Tours and Safaris as recommended by a friend. This proved to be the best decision of our lives. Imraan is very professional and accessible at all times to answer any and every question we had, taking care of us from pickup at the airport to drop back to the airport. The driver cum guide Robert was extremely safe and has a good eye to spot animals. All our Safaris were very productive and we were able to see all the big cats and the migration to our hearts content. Making sure all through the drive to the various parks and the safaris helping us spot animals while also following rules and keeping us safe this was a fantastic trip. I recommend a Kenyan Safari with Best Camping and tours to everyone keen on seeing animals in natural settings!

I am so glad that my daughter and I chose Best Camping. We have had the most fantastic time. Everything went smoothly every step of the way. Imraan is a wonderful, kind and professional organiser who truly went out of his way to give us an outstanding experience and unforgettable memories. He arranged 7 days of safaris for us from Tsavo West to Amboseli to Lake Naivasha and on to the Masai Mara, as well as numerous transfers, both in Mombasa and Nairobi.
The accommodation he recommended (with options to upgrade if we wanted) was perfect: Kilaguni Serena (Tsavo), Sentrim (Amboseli), Sopa (Naivasha) and finally, my favourite, Olgatuni Camp (Masai Mara).

Our driver, Marco, was truly excellent and looked after us so well. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and environment and I really enjoyed talking with him about Kenyan culture.

Pricewise, I was delighted by what Imraan offered us. Our budget was relatively limited, but everything was of a very high standard and I could not have wished for more. I had done a lot of research before booking and seen the huge variety of prices, services and accommodation proposed. Imraan's suggestions suited us perfectly, and what really convinced me was his quick communication, his friendly, helpful attitude, his extensive knowledge and his understanding of our needs.

I recommend Best Camping wholeheartedly, whether you are first time visitors to Africa or have already travelled around this wonderful continent. Finally, I want to thank Imraan and his wife, and Marco, for making our visit so marvellous.

We had a wonderful safari, Imraan made our safari of a lifetime of what we wanted to see, from the lush Aberdare to the dry Samburu, to the wonderful lakes of Nakuru, Elementaita and lake Naivasha and to the great Savannah of Masai Mara, you see all the diversity of what kenya has to offer.

Imraan is a verry kind man, he is always there to help you with suggestions and talk to you about what your neads are for your vacation in Kenya.

Our accommodation in lodges was verry good, with plenty and good food, we also stayed in Best Camping own Camp for 2 nights, just meters outside Masai Mara, the camp is more basic then a lodge, at the camp i recommend 2 nights if you love real camping, the camp is clean and has some big and some small tents, showers and toilets, dining tent where your Host Steve makes good food.

I my opnion At Best Camping Kenya they dont have drivers they only have Safari guides.

Robert our safari guide is verry kind, with alot of knowledge about all you need to know about the people of Kenya, the country and the animals of Africa, he goes out of his way to give you a great safari experience every day.

Asante Sana Imraan and Robert

An exceptional service provided by Imraan and his team. His response to our query, from picking us at airport to ensuring a safe night in Nairobi all in short time was incredible. He was their with his guide and jeep to pick up us next morning sharp at 7 am. He even ensured to provide us 5 liters of extra water.Ally his shows attention to details. Our trip started and guide was so knowledgeable. It took us 5 hours to reach Maasai Mara and throughout the journey our guide shared information about the plants , animals we saw enroute. He even shared history of Kenya and about the people of Maasai Mara. We reached their and we started our Safari and we managed to see big cats on Day1. Throughout our safari we managed to see all the big cats and other animals. Our guide was so knowledgeable with the roads and he kept sharing details about every animal we saw. This safari was such a success that ,We will remember it as one of our best holidays till date. Leaving to Nairobi we got stuck in traffic Bcoz of an accident however his experience in driving and being aware of the road , he managed to drop us 15 min before the counter being closed. Thank you Imraan for taking such good care of us. I definitely recommend people to choose this Best camping safari and I am gonna come back ✨

I found Best Camping Tours & Safaris by browsing through the net, and after having checked their website I emailed a first bunch of questions I had for our family trip to Kenya. Right the next morning I not only had my answers but also very good recommendations and a lot more information on traveling in Kenya.

There are many tour operators, but Imraan's 5-star service, friendliness and reliability make all the difference and made the tour 11a to Mt. Kenya, Samburu NP, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara for our family a once in a lifetime experience.

What can I say? Our driver Chris not only took us to see the big 5, but also cheetahs, jackals, hyena, crocodiles, hippos, gerenuks etc etc. We also experienced the crossing of the Wildebeests and Zebras at the Mara river, the heartbreaking moment a crocodile attacked one of the wildebeests, thousands of wildebeest & zebras migrating. We also had picknick lunches in Masai Mara, another highlight for all of us, especially our kids.

We especially recommend the Simba Lodge in Samburu National Reserve, where you can see elephants from the restaurant, the pool or your balcony. The Olgatuni Camp in Masai Mara was amazing as well: In the middle of the National Park, with a pride of lions and a big hippo family as neighbors, with no fences but Masai People who watch out for you when dining outside under the trees... just wow. In addition to the 11a tour Imraan arranged a balloon flight over Masai Mara - for all of us the ultimate experience.

Imraan: Thanks again a million for your time, your help, your organisation. You put your heart into this, and that makes it so special!

Anther great experience with Best Camping. Our group was all over 76 years of age and Best Camping really looked after us, hire of wheelchair, special steps into vehicle. Proved safaris are not just for the young, we did everything anyone else would, and did it with style!

The vehicle was appropriate and designed for safari work, the preparation and itinerary suited what we wanted to experience The lodges were comfortable and provided good service and tasty meals and the game drives just out of this world.

We could not be more pleased with the entire organisation and conduct of the trip, Nothing was too much trouble for the organisation and it certainly was a highlight of my 81 years!

With our 3 children (7, 9 and 12 years) we did an 11-day private safari tour with Best Camping. Start and finish was Nairobi with the following stations: Lake Nakuru, Lake Elementita, Lake Naivasha (with Hells Gate NP and Mount Longonot) and Masai Mara. With Paul we had a great driver and guide. We were well looked after at all times and had wonderful and extensive game drives. Imraan was also always available for questions. In the Masai Mara we stayed at the Best Camping Camp. If you like it simple and authentic, just like us, you are in good hands there. We were super looked after and cooked by the team on site. Thanks to the whole Best Camping team. These were 11 very impressive days on a super safari that we will never forget. We would book at any time again at Best Camping.

Imraan and his company did an amazing job organizing a 10 day trip for us in four diverse safari locations in Kenya. We started at Tsavo West, then boseki, then Lake Naivasha and finally Masai Mara. Each place was unique and beautiful in it's own way - we were picked up at the airport and had the same driver who helped us navigate. Needless to say, we saw amazing wildlife - we took advantage of morning and evening safaris and even did a balloon safari. We saw all the big cats including a leopard making a kill. We have dietary restrictions which were taken care of and every where we went people were hospitable. We also spent a nice last day in Nairobi. All in all I'd recommend Best camping tours to any one who asks!

My mum and I spent 8 days on safari with Best Camping, starting in Mombasa, going through Tsavo West, Amboseli, Naivasha and Maasai Mara then finishing in Nairobi.
The whole experience was wonderful! We had such a great time! Imraan made us a personalised plan and organised everything to the very last detail, with all much cheaper than competitors! We were lodged in amazing places (Serena Lodge Tsavo and especially Olgatuni Maasai Mara are a must!)
Our driver Marco was extremely skilled and knows the parks like the back of his hand! His knowledge of animals, birds and culture is incredible, there is always something new to learn!
I had caught a bug BEFORE coming on safari, but the staff at the lodges and with best camping were amazing in taking care of me: changing the menus, adjusting a few things last minute, providing medicine and taking me to a pharmacy. Couldn’t be more grateful as they ensured my quick recovery!
All in all, if you are thinking about going on safari in Kenya, you will not regret booking with Best Camping! :)

Habari, Jambo!
Together with Imraan GM of BCTS we have planned this safari trip after our great experience with Best Camping in 2018. Three nights Keekorok with the fabulous Hippo pool, one night at Country Club Lake Naivasha ( as drive from Masai Mara to Amboseli is too long for one day ), one night at Kibo Amboseli and two nights Kilaguni with a terasse with two water pools. Again a fantastic experience with Best Camping. Starting from a very flexible approach for payment ( due to COVID PCR test requirement), friendly pick up at NBO airport, extreme knowledgable enjoyable driver/guide Marco, who supported the 5 of us with all our requests, the spacious Land Cruiser. All days we had fantastic experiences with thousands and thousands of brilliant photos and hours of video films. This trip’s highlights were the kill of 3 Cheetah brothers and a clear day of Mount Kilimanjaro. But also the countless number of beautiful birds, elefants, zebra’s, lions, buffalos, giraffes etc etc.
And let’s not forget all the most friendly staff in all lodges. People, who had an extremely though times during COVID times. They welcomed us with mouth masks with great enthusiasm. They all made our trip as the most memorable one. Thanks to Imraan, his supporting team, Marco and the lodges staff. Ashanti Sana!
