Superb safari at Murchison Falls National Park
From start to finish this was truly brilliant experience. The food was excellent, accommodation lovely and the safari experience met and exceeded all expectations. We saw many giraffes, baboons, hippo and elephants, plus 2 leopards and 2 crocodiles. The boat trip experience was a fantastic addition to the trip as was visiting Murchison Falls. Andrew, our guide, was friendly, informative and knew exactly where and how to get the best photographs. Highly recommend!

The Real King of the Savannah: Edward!
Edward was absolutely amazing and made our Tanzania safari an unforgettable experience.
He was our driver and guide for five days, and from the very beginning he went above and beyond to make sure every request from our family was fulfilled. He took us to so many incredible places and was always flexible, kind, and professional.
Edward wasn’t just a driver—he was an exceptional guide. He explained the wildlife in great detail, taught us about the different ecosystems, and helped us understand everything we were seeing. Thanks to his incredible knowledge, we didn’t just see animals; we truly experienced the beauty of Tanzania. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other fascinating animals.
Our original trip was supposed to last seven days, but due to an unexpected family emergency, we had to cut it short to only five. Even with this last-minute change, Edward didn’t hesitate to help us. He drove for 14 hours from North Serengeti all the way to Kilimanjaro Airport to make sure we could catch our flight and get home safely. We will never forget that kindness and dedication.
People say the lion is the king of the savannah, but after spending five days with him, we’re convinced the real king of the savannah is Edward.
Thank you, Edward, for everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide, and we highly recommend him to anyone visiting Tanzania.

Exceptional and Experienced!
Just returned from a 5-day mid-range Safari with my husband for our wedding anniversary and the experience exceeded all expectations!! Everything was absolutely wonderful! Our driver/guide Juma was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, the Sergeneti, Ngorongoro and Tanzania. He took great care of us and we felt in very capable and caring hands at all times. He is a true expert in all things Safari, and we felt very lucky to have had him as our guide! The lodges we stayed in were 5/5, the staff was incredible and the food was great and varied! Meru Slopes (Gift) even went out of their way to make our anniversary extra special with gifts and surprises at the lodges we stayed in. Do not hesitate to book with Meru, they are experts and really care about the clients. They personalized the safari to our exact preferences and accommodated all our requests. Best experience ever and we got to see all the Big 5!!

an unforgettable and excellent journey in Kenya
Among countless local tour operators, we chose Camp Trek primarily because of Margaret's exceptional efficiency. Almost every email I sent received a reply within half an hour—even late at night in Kenya. When we met in Nairobi, I even joked with her, asking if she was a superhuman who could work 24/7 without rest.
After landing, we were handed over to our guide Ben. He is a highly professional safari guide who opened the door to Africa’s wild world for us. We saw nearly every animal we had hoped to encounter, and each time he positioned the vehicle perfectly—right in the ideal spot—for breathtaking views.
Every detail of the trip matched exactly what we had booked beforehand. We were extremely satisfied and found the entire experience trustworthy.

Safari – It couldn't have been better!
We changed our plans at the last minute and decided to book a **5-day private safari in Tanzania**. Through SafariBookings, we quickly received a very competitive offer directly from Lion King Adventures.
Rebecca did an excellent job designing our itinerary. She understood all our wishes, incorporated every detail, and put together exactly the safari we had hoped for.
Once the payment was completed through a secure process, Rose took over the operational planning. She kept us well informed and gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly—and it did.
Our safari exceeded all expectations. Benny, our driver and guide, was highly professional, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs.
Without going into every detail, from the first enquiry to the last day of our trip, everything was perfectly organised. From A to Z, it was a truly memorable holiday, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures.
Very knowledgeable & friendly
Muzi was an excellent guide. He seemed to know all of the best viewing places. He was also extremely nice to our children aged 14, 11, & 11.

Update to my 2 star review
After writing my review about how I was not happy with my contact person, since he was not reliable, Makini reached out to me and messaged me. They were very aware of what was wrong, apologized and even took action.
I would like to update my review, to say that i seemed to have bad luck with my contact person, but still the service from booking, to organisation, to the safari and the drivers were good! (As written in my previous review, I gave Makini drivers and the experience a 10/10.)
I appreciate them reaching out to me and being friendly, understanding and helpful!

Exceptional Safari from Start to Finish
Our safari experience with Axis Safaris was exceptional from start to finish, and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Kenya for a Safari Tour.
The pricing was fair and competitive, and from our first enquiry Tabitha was helpful and responsive. Communication was great throughout the booking process, with all of our questions answered promptly, making everything straightforward and stress-free.
Our 6-day safari was very well organised and ran smoothly from beginning to end. We visited the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, along with many other animals and scenery throughout. Our accommodation at each stop was lovely and everyone we met - staff and other tourists - were also great.
A special mention has to go to our guide, Mohammed, who was fantastic throughout the entire trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient and always happy to answer questions or share information about the wildlife, local culture and the areas we visited. He worked incredibly hard to ensure everyone in the group was comfortable, well looked after and had the best possible experience.
We had an amazing time and are very grateful to have had Mo as our guide.
Thank you to Mohammed, Tabitha and the whole Axis Safaris team for delivering a first class Safari experience.

Wonderful 5-day Mount Kenya Trek with a great team
I had a fantastic time doing a 5-day trek to Mount Kenya with Mountain Hiking Ventures. The communication with Irene during booking and pre-departure was smooth and she answered all of my many questions that I had. I met my excellent guide Kevin and porter Stanley at the office on the morning of departure where I also left my suitcase while going on the trek. We travelled by a shared minibus to Nanyuki where we also picked up the equipment I rented and then started the trek in the afternoon. The trekking itself was amazing with beautiful views. Kevin kept a good pace throughout the trek to help me adapt to the high altitude (I am an experienced hiker but I had not been to altitude above 2500 m before this trek). He was also always keen to tell me about the fascinating plants and animals we saw along the way (I am a biologist so this was very welcome!) and we had a great time chatting about life in Kenya. We reached the summit successfully which was amazing (but very cold and windy, even for a person who lives in Scotland!). The rest of the team, Stanley, Morris, and Naftari, were all super friendly and hospitable, always tried to make my experience as good as possible, and prepared some amazing meals for me (in fact, there was always more than I could eat!). I did the Sirimon Up and Chogoria Down version of the trip which I thought was a great choice with very good spacing of the camps along the elevation gradient and sufficient time to relax in the camps after hiking. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and can absolutely recommend Kevin and the rest of the group to anyone who is considering doing this trek!

Knowledgeable, kind and professional from start to finish
Communication before the trip was clear and quick, and everything was well organized. Our guide was very knowledgeable, polite and friendly, always happy to answer our questions and share insights about the wildlife and local culture. The service felt personal and reliable, and the value for money was great. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the whole safari. Highly recommended.
