Well organized.
Overall, a very positive experience.
Let me break it down as follows:
1. Booking
The operator is very responsive and helpful in creating. Alex helped created our itinerary through a simple and quick process, after confirming our expectations.
There are several payment options that you could choose. You’re free to discuss your preferred option with the operator.
Pickup from the airport is very reliable and on time.
2. Itinerary
6 days 5 nights
- Masai Mara: Game drive & visit to Masai village (optional)
- Nakuru Lake: Game drive
- Naivasha (optional): Boat ride and walking safari
- Amboseli: Game drive and tracking (optional - offered by the camp).
3. Accommodation
Masai Mara - Lenchada tented camp: The camp’s clean and the food’s great. You need to strategize on devices charging as the camp’s not electrified 24/7. Baboons in camp’s vicinity provided additional entertainment.
Nakuru - Hill Court Hotel: hotel in town. Clean bed and hot water. 24/7 electricity.
Amboseli- Manjaro Tented Camp: Best location, scenic view to Kilimanjaro. Tent is very comfortable (almost felt like hotel room). Camp is 24/7 electrified. Staffs are very friendly, with in camp ranger that could take you tracking (very recommended as the camp’s vicinity is rich with animals).
4. Guide and vehicle
Moses is the best! He is very friendly, helpful and informative.
In game drives, he’s quick to spot animals and very knowledgeable. He also made sure that you get the best possible angle to see the animals.
Moses also helped us upgrading our experience and maximize the itinerary (Naivasha is an addition to our original itinerary).
The car is very reliable and specifically designed for safari. Everyone in the group able to sit comfortably (bear in mind, please don’t expect limo experience).
And if it is really important for you to
always update your insta story, Moses ensure you have access to WiFi.
Suggestion for travelers:
a. Make sure to strategize on gadget charging as electricity is not always 24/7.
b. Bring enough cash as all the optional experience requires cash payment. Additionally, extra beverages you take in the camp need to be paid in cash. Most places accepted USD, EUR and local currency.

Perfect Honeymoon - thank you!
Serengeti Smile has been phenomenal from start to finish. Our flight was delayed by 4 hours, yet the tour guides and office staff were accommodating and supportive every step of the way. Our tour guide, Fadhil, was knowledge and fantastic. We saw 5/5 of the Big 5 and even saw lion cubs which were certainly a highlight. Accommodation was spotless. Overall, the perfect honeymoon - thank you!

All well organised no complaints at all!
We are on way home from the best 3 days on safari! It was a wonderful experience made all the more memorable by our absolutely incredible guide Kelvin! He was just a wealth of knowledge - didn't matter what we asked he could answer - but we didn't have to ask much as he told us so much as we went through the park. Also even though he has done this for 12 years he made our experience special and never tired air appeared bored! He seemed to delight in our excitement. When we got to animals he was always fab at position truck so we had best view! Totally recommend Axis as your company and if going again I would def ask for Kelvin!

Amazing, patient, attentive and an enjoyable experience
Our driver, Alex, was the best! Attentive to details and super patient with our requests. We even managed to see the big 5. Super friendly staff. We met the team at arrival and were greeted with a group lunch. Very thoughtful and genuine people. Would definitely book again.

Fantastic trip to Uganda
My tour to Uganda with Otis was amazing. I booked a tour to do gorilla and chimp trekking and both activities did not disappoint. I also visited Queen Elizabeth National Park and Lake Mburo. As a solo female traveler Otis made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip.

Highneck went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing trip.
From start to finish the experience was well organized and every detail taken care of. The team made sure everything was arranged, before we arrived the payment process was easy and communication responses quick. Once in Tanzania the team continued their high quality service and made sure any special requests were taken care of. Our driver really knew his stuff and took care of us every step of the way. I had asked in advance to try and see the leopard and they delivered! A truly magical moment with memories to last a life time. 100% recommend.

Absolutely perfect.. Totalmente perfecto..
Everything was extremely well organised, hotels, car, and in particular, our driver, Jeff, was amazing and made our trip even nicer, getting all the best animal views.. I strongly recommend Leisure Escapes, which it was also the best value for money options (after checking many others).
Todo estuvo fantástico. Jeff además hablaba español muy bien e hizo el viaje todavía más fácil. Puntual, organizado, y conseguimos ver muchísimos animales gracias a su pericia e insistencia.. Por supuesto para repetir y os lo recomiendo absolutamente

The real heros
Climbing Mount Kenya with Duncan, Jumaa, and their team was incredible. They knew so much about the mountain and made me feel safe. Duncan led well, and Jumaa was always friendly, making the tough parts easier.
Their team was great, setting up camp and making food, so I could enjoy the climb. They cared about me and helped me reach the top.
I loved climbing with them and would recommend them to anyone. They made my trip special and fun.
