An unforgettable experience
We had the best time with Wildebeest Safari. Noah was really helpful in organising our trip and accommodating to all our requests. We stayed in 3 different camps which were all great. Our two drivers Richard and Dennis were friendly, punctual and drove very responsibly, navigating the traffic and bumpy roads expertly. We felt in great hands at all times and their knowledge of the animals really shone through and their enthusiasm was contagious. Dennis asked us which animals we wanted to see and made every effort to make it possible. He would also check where the sun was to find the best viewing angle for photography, while staying at respectful distance so as not to disturb the wildlife. He even went the extra mile and helped arrange a surprise proposal, finding the perfect spot and making sure the moment was extra special! We are so grateful for our experience and would absolutely recommend Wildebeest to others.

THE BEST SAFARI! All was impeccable!
Our expedience with Dallas Safari was SUPERB! We booked our private Safari for 4 people 1 year ago and communication was always easy. Tunu organised everything for us and tailored our itinerary as per our needs and expectations. He always responded very fast and was very helpful and attentive. When we arrived in Arusha we were very well welcomed with amazing gifts and when the Safari started we were treated extremely well. Our guide Mick was hilarious, smart, an amazing driver and became a very good friend! They pay attention at details like picking amazing lodges, punctuality, cleaning the car every evening after a long day of Safari, they also provided us with snacks, soft drinks and water and the meals were delicious!!! We even got help to check in for our flight to leave Arusha which was not working and Tunu solved that for us with the company. At the end we managed to see all animals, not just the big five but even more than that and Mick would explain everything for us carefully. We definitely had the best time of our lives and highly recommend this experience!!! Thank you Dallas Africa Safaris!

Amazing Experience with Axis Africa Safaris!
Axis Africa Safaris have helped plan our entire 11 day trip to Kenya. Ensuring everything was organised from arrival to departure!
We just spent 6 days on an incredible safari! We started in the Maasai Mara with breathtaking wildlife and an unforgettable hot air balloon ride over the savannah. Next was Lake Nakuru National Park and then Lake Naivasha, where a boat ride and walking safari brought us closer to the animals than we ever imagined.
We finished in Amboseli, ticking off nearly every animal we hoped for, all against the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro (the only escapee was the elusive leopard - giving us the perfect excuse to return!).
Our guide, Ben, was outstanding - knowledgeable, friendly, and always the first to spot wildlife. The accommodations were amazing, the people we met were welcoming, and Axis Africa Safaris even helped us finish our holiday with 3 relaxing days on the beaches of Diani.
A truly unforgettable safari - we can’t recommend Axis Africa Safaris enough!

Amazing
I just came back from this amazing 4-day, 3-night safari, and it was unforgettable!
The landscapes were breathtaking, and every day brought new surprises.
I loved seeing lions, elephants, giraffes, and so many other animals in their natural habitat.
The guides were knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more special.
This safari was truly one of the best adventures of my life!

A tour operator with experience, knowledge and understanding of the clients' needs..
After spending six days in Tanzania on safari in Sep 2025, with my family, visiting the Serengeti, Ngongoro crater, lake Maniara and Taringieri national park, I can say that our choice of Africa Big Cats was the right one.
From the moment we were met at the airport, to the hotels and lodges that they recommended to us, which were all well positioned and provided exceptional service.
Our guide throughout the trip, Elias, has over 20yrs experience and it showed in his knowledge of the animals and the way he handled the terrain, with professionality, prudence and respect of the animals that we encountered.
With his expertise we managed close encounters with lions, cheetahs, leopards (and their cubs), elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeast, etc and had rare sighting of three black rhinos, which are still on the endangered list.
I would recommend Africa Big Cats to any person wishing to go on Safari in Tanzania.

My tour operator was great and a once in a lifetime experience!
Peter Kapino was my driver and he was fantastic!! He picked us up on time each day and was very thorough with the plan for each day. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and at no time did I feel unsafe. I highly recommend jocky and requesting him as your personal guide.

Perfect safari if you have limited time in Kenya
Had the best experience with Jocky Tours on a 3 day Masai Mara safari. It included pick up from my hotel in Nairobi, all transfers, accommodation, all meals and park entry fees - I didn't have to worry about anything.
Peter Kapino was a great driver, showing us the sights of the park and ensuring we saw as much as we could during the game drives. We managed to see the Big 5, including the elusive leopard that hadn't been seen in over a month!
The accommodation exceeded my expectations - affordable yet comfortable, and the meals were substantial and varied.
The company was very quick to respond to my requests via email, and booking direct with them was a smooth process.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and it was the perfect way to fit in a safari with my limited time in Kenya.

Outstanding
From the very beginning, our experience with Ways of Africa exceeded every expectation. The evening before our safari, Paul – the owner – personally came to our hotel to brief us on the adventure ahead. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine warmth instantly put us at ease. He patiently answered all of our questions and even surprised us with thoughtful gift bags full of useful safari items (I won’t spoil the surprise, but it was such a lovely touch!).
We chose the Lake Nakuru (1 night) & Masai Mara (2 nights) package, Monday–Thursday, and from the moment we were picked up at 7:30 a.m., we knew we were in the very best hands. Paul, (a different Paul) who was our guide, impressed us right away with his deep knowledge, not just about wildlife and nature, but also about the history, culture, and landmarks along our route. His passion and storytelling made the journey itself feel like part of the adventure.
For anyone wondering, especially the ladies—rest stops along the way were frequent, safe, and clean, so the long drives were very comfortable.
Our first destination was Sarova Lion Hill Lodge, Lake Nakuru. On the way, we were lucky enough to spot several animal species, which only heightened our excitement for the afternoon game drive. The lodge itself was wonderful: beautiful views, a delicious buffet restaurant, and cozy rooms prepared with mosquito nets and even hot water bottles tucked into the bed at night—such a thoughtful detail!
That afternoon’s game drive set the tone for the days to come. In just a few hours we saw buffalo, baboons, colobus monkeys, giraffes, warthogs, pelicans, flamingos, vervet monkeys, impalas, zebras, lions, hyenas, rhinos, hippos, and countless stunning birds. It was absolutely magical.
The following morning, we set out for the Masai Mara and checked into our next camp, Amani Mara. Words hardly do it justice—the views were surreal. Imagine enjoying breakfast while watching hippos sunbathe, monkeys leap through trees, and giraffes wander across the horizon. The staff at Amani were exceptional: attentive, kind, and full of knowledge. On our final night, they treated us to a bush dinner under the stars—an unforgettable four-course feast prepared by a world-class chef. Every meal we had there was simply outstanding.
And then came the highlight of our trip: exploring the Masai Mara. In just 1.5 days, thanks to Paul’s incredible guiding, we witnessed a breathtaking array of wildlife: elephants, a leopard in broad daylight (a rare sight!), a cheetah hunting and feasting on its prey, giraffes, hippos, jackals, wildebeest, ostriches, vultures, lion cubs, and two enormous male lions so close we could almost touch them. Seeing all of this in such a short time felt like a dream—it’s not something you can ever guarantee, but traveling with an expert guide like Paul certainly gave us the best possible chance.
What made the experience even more special was how much we learned along the way. Paul’s knowledge of every animal, bird, and landscape seemed endless, and he was always eager to share insights and answer our many questions. His passion for what he does shines through, and it truly elevated the entire safari.
We came away from this trip feeling deeply grateful—not just for the incredible wildlife encounters, but for the care, thoughtfulness, and professionalism that Ways of Africa put into every detail. If you are considering a safari in Kenya or Tanzania, I can wholeheartedly say: look no further. With Paul and his team, you are not just booking a safari, you are embarking on an unforgettable journey crafted with heart and expertise.
Thank you again!

Great tour, as advertised
There is a lot of competition for safari tours to Maasai Mara. I was happy with Jocky Tours and our guides Peter Kapilo and Moses. The hotel pick-up and everything else was on time, and we had a great time on safari.
