Scammers- BEWARE
Honcho took my 50% deposit over a year ago and now they are off the grid- emails and websites gone, the lodge had NEVER gotten the money OR the booking. So now 2 weeks prior to the trip I have no safari booked.
It is too late to get Visa to cover the fraud and they are not to be found anyway.
What horrible people to rip innocent travelers off like this.

Dedicated to providing you with a fantastic safari experience and camp stay!
This company did a great job keeping us warm, safe, fed, and of course, showing us the beautiful wildlife in Krugar and around a local game reserve. Truly a once in a life time experience! I loved the accommodations; glamping at its finest. The food was decent and they were kind and thorough enough to make accommodations for gluten free meal needs.

Amazing wildlife, stunning sunsets.
Our tour operator was Axis travel, and they were amazing and beyond helpful. Cynthia provided so much support for us, even beyond the actual safari trip - including organizing transport to and from the airport, answering all the questions, etc. Our guide Kelvin, was so cool. He was kind, he knowledgeable, and he kept us very safe. Many times we saw some irresponsible driving, but Kelvin always kept his cool and took such a good care of us. Really, he made our trip superb.
One thing about Africa is that everybody asks for tips (at Axis even this was awesome and Kelvin was awesome). But people ask for tips that you don't even know what you are tipping... like we served you breakfast, tip us, we picked p the dishes tip us, we are going to the restaurant bathroom tip us etc. It is very extreme and strange for us coming from Europe. You can tell that Africa is a third world country and that there is such a corruption and poverty as people talk about it. Yet the prices are high and it makes you wonder how people manage to survive.
The country itself is so stunningly beautiful. Wildlife, coastline, everything.

A paradise for animal lovers
I went with Serengeti African Tours and a got a knowledgeable guide in the form of Francis who made our safari unforgettable. The wildlife in Serengeti was spectacular. Not did we see the big 5, but we saw cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, etc in abundance. Our chef Ashraf made fresh local food which was delicious and comforting. It was my first experience tasting African cuisine and suffice to say I wasn't disappointed. After our safari we headed to Zanzibar and the beautiful white sand beaches were just what we needed after an adventurous safari. The clear waters provided excellent snorkelling opportunities. Overall Tanzania is not just a country, it's an experience that everyone should have on their bucketlist.

The trip planning and execution was seamless from landing until departure
“The trip during the late offseason was as you described: Ultimate! From the time we landed in Cape Town until departure from Johannesburg, 19 days later, it was seamlessly presented. The Dube and Selinda camps were comfortable, well staffed, well provisioned, and the day trips well guided. Our Duba guide: Ntebbie, the first female guide in Botswana, knew her fauna and flora well and comfortably let us experience, 3! Leopards in 4 days. This part of the world has yet to experience the tourist glut and animal pressure in the rest of the World. Try your best to keep it that way! Again, well done! Thank you."
