Amazing tour to see the essential beauties of Mikumi
We spent 4 days with our guide Apollo as a couple in Mikumi National Park. Apollo was extremely knowledgable about... everything. Wildlife, daily life in Tanzania and beyond. It was an amazing experience and we got to see a wide array of wild animals in Mikumi. Baboons, impalas, zebras, gnus, hippos, lions and we even had a direct encounter and road cross with a lovely giraffe and a family of elephants! The hike in Nudzungwa mountains revealed one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen.
The (somewhat challenging) hike made the view from top of the Nudzungwa waterfalls even more rewarding.
Starting from the warm welcome and punctual pick up to the goodbye and drop off everything worked out smoothly. The accomodation in Camp Bastian is extremely luxurious for the local standards and everyone tries to make you feel very valued. The ventilation, food and comodities were splendid.
All in all, I can only fully recommend this experience. While everyone might experience it differently I am sure that everyone shares the joy in it. Asante Apollo!

Wonderful, amazing and helpful tour operator
Our safari with Axis Africa was an incredible experience. The tour operator was very thorough and organised and everything was planned for us including food, accommodation and activities. The places that we stayed were all awesome and all the game drives we went on were fantastic too. Our tour guide Ken was amazing and worked so hard to ensure we saw a range of animals in the parks, while also being respectful to the nature and animals. Overall, we absolutely loved the trip and cannot thank Axis and Ken enough.

Bashir is good natured, knowledgeable, and hospitable.
Words really cannot do this trip justice. Irene was so helpful in coordinating the trip and answered all questions promptly. We were able to see so many animals and birds. Our guide Bashir was so thoughtful and an expert on locating animals (patience is key). Luckily on our trip we were able to see the big five, lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and a leopard in less than 24 hours. The lodging was clean and the hotel staff was very attentive. Bashir was so knowledgeable it was like watching a nature documentary. I would 100 percent recommend this tour, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Irene and Bashir!

Perfect. Super itinerary, built specifically to my requests, very flexible for changes
Loved everything about the trip.
The itinerary to Botswana and Zimbabwe was absolutely amazing, and everything worked like clock work, being moved from one location to the other.
Some of the tips I received were awesome, and the welcome note and gift were a very nice personal touch to the incredible trip.
Highly recommend

A bucket-list experience
Jock tours made our safari trip a once in a lifetime experience. Peter kapino was an amazing guide, full of knowledge for any questions about the animals. He made the extra mile to make the trip special for everyone on board and provided flexibility for whatever the group wanted. The vehicle and scenery made the trip unforgettable and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you jocky tours

Okavango Delta, Lagoon Camp & 4 Rivers Camp
A big thank you to Gondwana Tours & Safaris especially Mark for organising our recent trip to the Okavango delta.
The camps he chose were superb, location, accommodation, food and staff all fantastic.
The guides and trackers were amazing, managing to achieve what seemed like the impossible every day. Extremely knowledgeable and highly skilled individuals.
The information provided by Mark was comprehensive, the attention to detail was impressive. He managed to answer all our questions before we asked them. The instructions about our arrival at Maun were clear and easy to follow.
In camp we were asked by a staff member, who was our agent? Their response to our reply and we quote 'our star agent you chose well'.
A memorable, well organised trip in a beautiful unique location.

Touching the soul in five days - a great budget trip):
Tow of my friends and I took part in this 5-day group safari, and Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris opened a new world of experiences for us. Philip, our guide at Masai Mara, was explaining the way of life of each animal, as if a live natural history class was going on.
The highlight was taking pictures next to the flamingos and rhinos in Lake Nakuru! But the most unique experience was riding a bicycle in Hell's Gate through the roaring canyons and rock caves. It's a different kind of safari.
A kind of friendship developed in the group with everyone; the trip became more colorful with night bonfires and stories. Budget-friendly, but the service was excellent.
