One of the amazing crew with all the relevant experience required. Exceptional Safari, scenery, whether, accommodation, food, transport, guide, locals and other essential commodities all were perfect. No matter from which part of the globe you come here, you will enjoy this with their support and experience. Specially Masai Mara & lake Nakuru.

Cheers,

Everything about this trip was wonderful! My daughter is a vegan and the variety of food choices was good and plenty. The lodges were very comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed the entire trip. Our guide James was very helpful! Highly recommended! Samuel was very helpful as well organizing the trip!

I did the safari with Axis Africa Safaris. Lennox was the contact person via email. He always answered very fast and everything was as agreed. Kikutu was the guide and he was superb. The trip from Nairobi to masai Mara is long but went very well.
I would really recommend this operator and specially this guide (kikitu)

My wife and I normally traveled by self-drive or train and we have never joined a tour. It was our first time experience of a guided 10 days package and we enjoyed it thoroughly as planning was done by the company and the guide did my normal job as a driver.

Ben from eTrip Africa did a great job of customizing our trip for our family of four. Everything about our trip was absolutely fantastic. The wildlife and scenery were incredible. We stayed in accomodations which varied from glamping to renting a whole cottage and every place was clean, tidy and safe. We thought, given the remote conditions, that food quality would suffer and we would be eating alot of granola bars but that couldnt have been further from the truth. Food was excellent... even the box lunches!
Our guide, John, was incredibly knowledgable and kept us close to the action but did not disturb the animals’ behaviors. The vehicle was a well-maintained truck with a popup top which we were very happy to have after seeing some of the other vehicles in the parks (old beat-up vans; trucks with completely open sides which would provide NO PROTECTION from animals that might get frisky and held shivering occupants in the mornings and evenings; vehicles with no pop up, etc).
Hard to pick one highlight: was it standing in our truck in the silence while 10 giraffes quietly munched on tree leaves just feet from us? Or maybe watching a leopard make its way out of the grasses to climb a tree where it had stored its kill, while the sun set on the savannah? The hyenas fighting for a piece of a downed zebra? Two bloodied rhinos fighting over an observing female? A male lion protecting his kill from a pack of hungry hyenas? What will YOUR adventure yield?
This was our first trip to Africa and we were a little nervous about our safety, however, we felt safe on our entire trip. Ben met us the first day, which was reassuring. Everywhere we went, the people were friendly and eager to show us what their beautiful country had to offer.
I highly recommend Ben and eTrip Africa. They made our Trip of a Lifetime one to truly remember.

The best Safaris and lodges to suit all budgets
Overall rating
5/5

Just completed an unforgettable 2 week trip to Kenya.
Started off with the Masai Mara, stayed at a camp. Spent some time on the amazing coast at Diani beach. Visited Tsavo, stayed at some amazing lodges.
The game drives at the Mara were spectacular. Tsavo was good too, with an abundance of elephant herds.
Diani beach was stunning, fine white sand, spotless beach, clear waters.

It's probably the best I could hope for as a tour. I enjoyed it and thought it was well worth it.

Kenya is a beautiful, geographically varied country. It was much more easy-going and hassle-free than I was originally expecting. Visiting Kenya was a great experience!

Good safari in Masai Mara
Overall rating
5/5

This was not our first time in Kenya. We booked a 3-day trip to Masai Mara (leaving on a Sunday and coming back on a Tuesday evening). In the park: lots of driving, lots of cars in the same place giving it a slight "mass tourism" feel and lacking "bush feel".

Although there during the peak time for wildebeest migrations, we saw very few. We were told that this is because of the Tanzanian burning off land to avoid wildebeest crossing the border. They are afraid of "loosing the business". Shame really as this man-made factor is not really mentioned on tourist safari websites.

Otherwise, everything was splendid in terms of organisation, driver, accommodation (camp right outside gates of Masai Mara), vegetarian food options... Amazing sceneries. Good value for money and very smooth.
