Excellent trip with a company that cares
Excellent communications during the trip planning phase, prompt in replying to queries and requests for info. E Trip have a base in Arusha so have 'on the ground' experience. Our Bush camps and lodges were exactly as described, and the level of service during the trip was always very good. Our guide was dedicated & very keen to find us all the animals and birds we mentioned and many more besides. He looked after us and helped to make it a special trip.We counted 135 separate Lions, many of whom were cubs, 15 Cheetah, 4 Leopards, a Serval, Rhino female with calf and so many birds, Elephants, Zebra and Wildebeast etc etc as the migration was in swing. We stayed a night in Arusha followed by Tarangire, (2 nights) Lake Manyara/ Ngorogoro crater,(one night) Central Serengeti,(3 nights) Northern Serengeti (2 nights).

Excellent Service and attention to detail resulting in a memroble Trip.
Esther Omache the owner of AsaRay was such an integral part of planning for this first safari for our group of 4 couples. We had a lot of questions and we we would get responses in a matter of minutes and some times when the local time in Kenya was 11pm. Communications and Service A+
In Kenya I believe owns the vehicles and the drivers are employees of the tour company. The ones we had Fred and Sam had been with the company quite a few years. For 4 couples we were wives 2 safari vans.
The tours were excellent. Since the tours were custom designed we could make changes on the fly after meeting with the drivers the evening before. If you are going to take a once in a lifetime safari tour take the one where your and the tour operator do the planning rather than the cookie cutter tours offered by the big international tour operators.
Absolutely no hesitation in recommending AsaRay and Esther Omache to folks contemplating a safari experience.

Great to work with - very accomodating.
They were very easy to work with and flexible for what we wanted. They offered a great range of choices and even the lower cost options were great. They met us on time and the driver was super. We went to South Luangwa in Zambia and had a great time. We have used them several times over a number of years and always recommend them to anyone wanting a safari - especially starting from Lilongwe.

Asili Explorer give you the best value for the sild life in Tanzania National parks
We can recommend Asili Explorer, they arranged the very best safari tour for us. Our guide and driver Epzata, took us to the best places in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Epzata have been in this branch for 17 years and know safari and how to do it exiting. The plan was to see the big five, we met four, miss out the Rhino. We met a lot of Elefants which was fighting, hunting lions, a leopard which was up in a tree, eating a gnu. A lot of big buffalo. I think we saw 7 different antilopes, giraff, waterbuck, hyena, pelican, hippo, sebra, gnu, crokodile and a lot of different birds. We was driving around in a good, well maintained, Toyota Land Cruiser Safari. Thanks to Epzata, Joe and Elly.

Amazing wildlife experience!
Ibrah and Afrishare were recommended to me by a friend, and they exceeded our expectations. Communication right away was excellent, and they are able to alter our tour to suit us, starting in Moshi, and finishing in Mwanza. Everyday we were spoiled with the abundance of animals we got to see. Our guide, Freddie, was fantastic. He knew all the spots to take us, and was excellent at spotting far away animals. He was very accommodating, and so nice! The location and facilities of the campsites were also excellent. The food was good. Every dinner was served with a delicious homemade soup, and the fresh fruit was abundant. Would definitely book with Afrishare again, and recommend it to anyone!

Great Safari!
Axis was a great Safari to take. I made the booking last minute and Lennox responded instantly and had no problem helping me get on a trip to Massai Mara.
We had a great guide in Martin and saw all of the big 5 in one day! Would recommend Axis for a trip. Would go with them again!

Very good experience, recomend it.
We hired from Deepforestsafaris two itineraries, one for a hiking experience in Mount Kenya (5 days) and a safari tour , both for a mid-range budget.
The usual questions arise, payments, organization, safety and etc. and the company was always very engaging and responsive. I felt safe with their work, and that is a really important thing traveling to a place you don’t know such as Kenia.
My experience to Mt Kenia was good, and organization wise I was rather happy. Nonetheless, we had some trouble in the last day regarding the amount of hiking, that was an issue with the local guide preparations. Reparations were made but I recommend that you discuss in depth your itinerary before closing, once it can be a demanding hike.
Our safari the experience was amazing! Our safari guide, Sammy, was very friendly and great in finding and spotting animals, especially the big 5 that we were so eager to see. Whatever trouble would arise – possible in Kenia duo to bad roads, unforeseen climate and etc, he was already prepared and made it as little as possible an inconvenience in our daily routine. Great guide.
All and all, a quite good trip, and a good cost benefit for our budget!
