点评:My wife and myself did our first camping safari with Gametrackers in 2012 and we had an excellent time. That’s why I chose Gametrackers again for another safari but this time with our 2 kids, 8 and 12 years old. I wanted a tailor made trip to the northern parks and also visit some off the beaten track locations. Judy in the office took care of all my wishes and also gave me some excellent ideas for some special excursions, like one to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary or a visit to Nghurunit. Judy replied very quickly to my emails and she found a solution for every issue I had organising our trip. Judy and her team at gametrackers also had a little surprise for my daughter’s birthday. Happy kids 😀
Our guide was Rufus and the cook was Caleb. The camping food was excellent, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Caleb did a superb job and the kids loved his pancakes and french toast for breakfast. Dinner was amazing, we had fish, meat, pasta, rice, chapati, etc.. Caleb never disappointed with his cooking.
Rufus has over 30 years of experience and has many interesting stories to tell. He did an excellent job driving us around northern Kenya, even though most of our trip was driving off-road. Gametrackers’ old Toyota Landcruisers are very good and can handle even the toughest driving conditions. 5 Stars for Rufus who also got us out of a serious traffic jam using his off-road driving skills and knowledge. I also give Rufus an extra 6th star because of his lion tracking skills in Meru. We got woken up at 5 am by the roaring of lions and Rufus quickly proposed to go and look for them. We jumped in the car and after a short time following lion footprints and listening to their roaring we found them. The kids were very excited.
Our highlights were the hike to the Dragon’s teeth in Aberdare national park, camping in Meru national park where we got elephants visiting our campsite, horse riding with the kids near Naivasha, climbing mount Longonot volcano, Reteti elephant sanctuary and Ol Pejeta where we saw the last 2 northern white rhinos and visited a chimpanzee orphanage. My personal highlight was seeing the Samburu special 5 and our stay a Lion’s cave lodge. Our next safari to Tanzania will definitely again with Gametrackers. Excellent value for money.
翻译:2012年,我和妻子首次参加了Gametrackers组织的野外露营之旅,体验极其愉快。正因如此,这次我又选择了Gametrackers来安排另一次旅行,这次是带着我们8岁和12岁的两个孩子一同前往。我希望能安排一次专门针对北部国家公园的定制行程,同时也希望能去一些鲜有人至的地方。旅行社的Judy满足了我的所有要求,还为我提供了一些非常棒的特别游览建议,比如前往Reteti大象保护区或是参观Nghurunit。Judy回复我的邮件非常迅速,对于我在安排旅行过程中遇到的每个问题,她都给出了解决方案。Judy和她在Gametrackers的团队还为我女儿的生日准备了一个小惊喜。孩子们开心极了 😀
我们的向导是Rufus,厨师是Caleb。露营时的食物也棒极了,有大量新鲜的水果和蔬菜。Caleb的厨艺精湛,孩子们尤其喜欢他做的煎饼和法式吐司作为早餐。晚餐同样令人难忘:我们有鱼、肉、意大利面、米饭、恰巴提饼等等。Caleb做的菜从来都不会让人失望。
Rufus拥有30多年的从业经验,有很多有趣的故事可以分享。尽管我们此行大部分时间都是在非铺装路面上行驶,但他依然出色地带领我们游遍了肯尼亚北部。Gametrackers配备的那些老款丰田Land Cruiser性能卓越,即便在最恶劣的路况下也能应对自如。给Rufus五星好评!他还凭借出色的越野驾驶技巧与丰富经验,帮助我们摆脱了严重的交通拥堵。我还要给鲁弗斯多加一颗星,因为他在梅鲁国家公园里展现出了出色的追踪狮子的能力。凌晨5点,狮子的吼叫声把我们吵醒了,鲁弗斯立刻提议去寻找它们。我们立刻上车,沿着狮子的足迹前进并倾听它们的吼声,不久后便找到了它们。孩子们兴奋极了。
最难忘的经历莫过于徒步前往阿伯达雷国家公园里的“龙牙峰”,以及在梅鲁国家公园露营时有大象造访我们的营地。带着孩子们在奈瓦沙附近骑马,攀登隆戈诺特火山,还参观了雷特蒂大象保护区以及奥尔佩杰塔保护区——在那里我们见到了最后两只北方白犀牛,还走访了一家黑猩猩孤儿院。我个人最难忘的经历就是看到了桑布卢地区的五种特有动物,以及入住狮子洞旅馆的经历。下次去坦桑尼亚进行野生动物观赏之旅时,我们肯定还会选择Gametrackers。性价比极高!
