What travelers are saying

"Great service, very informative and surpassed our expectations! We selected Campofrio Safaris to organise our group of four’s, two week trip to Kenya and Tanzania as they were flexible with the itinerary, affordable, offered thorough information, were prompt with their responding emails and were members of the Kenya Association of Tour Operators. Plus they had an easy to navigate and informative website. Campofrio organised our car with driver/guide and our accommodation for the trip. We had a comfortable 12 seater van with a raiseable roof for animal viewing. We were each provided with a folder with maps, a detailed itinerary, suggestions and other general information. We were met at the airport by Oliver, the General Manager, Lawrence the tour director and Benson our guide/driver. Our driver/guide Benson was pleasant company, extremely knowledgeable, obviously respected by other safari drivers as they often consulted or deferred to him and a very cautious driver. He also wrapped our luggage with blankets to prevent the dust getting in. We travelled from Nairobi to Lake Nakaru where we stayed at the fantastic Flamingo Hill Camp Site after doing a late afternoon safari. It was extremely comfortable and had the best restaurant. We next travelled to the Masai Mara Reserve where we stayed two nights at the Sopa Lodge. We arrived in time to do an afternoon safari and did a full day safari the next day. An early morning start the next day took us through the Mara Reserve on our way to the Tanzanian border at Isebaana where Campofrio organised the 2nd leg of our journey with Leopard Tours. We spent the next 2 nights in the Serengeti, then onto the Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire before flying to Zanzibar for our final 3 days. Consequently, I would recommend Campofrio to anyone wishing to undertake their travels to Kenya due to their flexibility and professionalism and for organising a trip that surpassed our expectations."

"Absolutely amazing two week trip to Mexico. Phoebe was very knowledgeable and helped us plan a fabulous itinerary. The hotels she'd recommended were perfect and in excellent locations. Our guides were helpful, friendly and spoke excellent English and when we contacted the Mexico office to squeeze in another excursion, they were responsive and immediately organised everything. All round brilliant customer service and Mexico was the most interesting and beautiful place to visit! Thank you!"

What travelers are saying

"The most beautiful holiday country I have ever visited All that I've seen, far exceeded my expectations. Especially the gorillas. We had a fantastic guide Anthony Kato. He brought us each day along bumpy, smooth and non asphalted roads to our lodge. Most lodges I found good. Our guide has told much about Uganda, such as habits, tradition, the population and so on. Thought it was clever that he knew a lot about the animals in the park. I got through his explanation a very different and positive image of Uganda. Sure to recommend Uganda and Scenic Trails Safaris to others."

What travelers are saying

"We traveled to Rwanda with the sole intention of going in search for the gorillas. I can only say that its been the best experience of my life. Anyway, we knew that the Virunga Lodge was going to be our base camp but we really dind´t know what to expect. I usually do my research before going out search of new adventures, but in this case, i din´t. This "somewhat rustic" hotel exceeded our expectations. The service was impeccable, the food delicious, the room was perfect but in my opinion, all of this great attributes were somehow diminished by the espectacular views of the lake and the volcanoes from almost every corner of the hotel. I truly recommend this hotel along with the gorilla trekking experience."
