Well organized with customer satisfaction
Booked a budget tour for 3D/2N stay in Masai Mara National Reserve. Communication with Tabitha was easy with fast response. The tour itself was wonderful and exciting with Dennis as the driver/tour guide. Stay at Sankara Camp was an experience with a good night sleep especially without electricity from 2200 to 0500. But it was enjoyable. Tour with Axis Africa fully recommended.

Safari of a lifetime with the best guide, Deo!
We just returned from the most unforgettable safari in Tanzania, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Deo. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in the best hands.
Deo is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania but he’s also one of the most genuine, kind-hearted people we’ve ever met. Every day he showed up perfectly prepared ready to give us the experience of a lifetime.
We saw everything we could’ve hoped for, lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, giraffes, and more, and we know that much of that was thanks to Deo’s sharp eye and deep understanding of animal behaviour. He was patient, thoughtful, and always made sure we were comfortable and safe.
What started as a guided trip quickly turned into a friendship we’ll carry with us for life. Deo, you made this journey more meaningful than we could’ve imagined. Thank you for sharing your country, your knowledge, and your heart with us.
Asante sana!

cost-effective
Advantages: The staff have a great attitude, the prices are reasonable, the itinerary is quite rich, and the drivers are quite capable of spotting animals.
Disadvantages: Since it's a group tour, there are always 5 - 7 tourists on the bus, and they have different accommodation arrangements. The travel agency is the same as Super Eagle, but using different company names during hotel check - in can sometimes be confusing.
Overall, it's a really good trip. However, as the time goes by, I felt a bit tired in the later days, and I'm not quite used to the food in the hotel. The lions in Maasai Mara, the elephant herds at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, and the brilliant starry sky are all amazing. It's a pity that I didn't get a clear view of the leopard hiding in the bushes. I was a bit disappointed that there aren't many other special animals in Amboseli except the elephant herds.

Hermosa Life Tours is professional, responsive, and made our gorilla trek smooth and unforgettable.
Gorilla Trekking – Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
We took a one-day Gorilla trekking tour in Rwanda from Kigali, including same-day airport drop-off, through Hermosa Life Travel and Tours. We had a great experience planning the tour—they were responsive, flexible, and very helpful in accommodating our requests and answering all our questions.
Aboubakar was our guide, and he did a fantastic job from the moment he picked us up at our hotel in Kigali to when he dropped us off at the airport for our next adventure. He arrived promptly at 4:30 AM and drove us about 2.5 to 3 hours through Rwanda’s beautiful, hilly countryside to Volcanoes National Park. The scenery along the way was stunning, with endless green hills as far as the eye could see.
Aboubakar was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour extra special. He handled all the paperwork and check-in at the park efficiently, which made everything smooth for us. After the morning briefing at the park center, he drove us another 45 minutes along bumpy African roads to the trekking start point, sharing funny stories and past gorilla trekking experiences along the way.
Our trekking group consisted of six tourists, including the two of us. The hike took a little over two hours as we ascended to higher altitudes through bamboo forests and muddy terrain, accompanied by trekkers, porters, and a park ranger. We eventually reached the Isimbi gorilla family, a group of 19 mountain gorillas, and spent an incredible hour with them. The scenery throughout the trek was breathtaking, and the time we spent observing the gorillas up close just a few feet away was truly remarkable. We quietly watched them in their natural habitat, an experience we will never forget. The entire trek, including the hour spent with the gorillas, lasted around five hours.
After the trek, we returned to our vehicle with very muddy shoes, even though we had worn gaiters. Aboubakar had helped us get the gaiters before the trek and went the extra mile to fulfill our request by finding a place along the way where we could clean up and freshen up before heading to the airport. He was incredibly helpful and truly made our day extra special.
Highly recommend Hermosa Life Tours for a professional, friendly, and unforgettable Rwanda trip.

A trip of a lifetime handled with care and expertise!
Visiting Tanzania has been a lifelong dream of our mom/grandma. So finally as she approaches 80 years old, through the loving care of Josh Dreamland we were able to make her dream come true. Right away Elizabeth, our Safari coordinator, helped us make a plan that would work for us and "Bibi", Swahili for grandma. All communications and plans were easy and came together smoothly. While on Safari, our guide Ombeni, helped set a pace that gave "Bibi" time to rest and still assured us plenty of time to see all the animals we could ever have dreamed of. We loved learning from Ombeni, about all the many animals we saw and the importance of preserving these habitats for future generations to enjoy. We especially loved learning from our guide about life in Tanzania. A big thank you to Ombeni for his expertise and special care. We did have a breakdown on our vehicle,as can happen on the rough roads of the Safari, but it by far was one of our favorite days. We loved seeing how all the guides came together to help eachother out and it gave us time to connect with people from all around the world including some local Maasai. To our delight while on our game drives we enjoyed warm lunches each day that were delicious and made fresh each morning. We enjoyed all of our accommodations, especially the Suricata Boma our first night. Ahsante Sana to Elizabeth, Ombeni and all the crew at Josh Dreamland for the amazing experience and really taking care of "Bibi". And a special thank you for arranging extra transportation for us after the safari making all the crazy things we wanted to do possible. Our driver Elly was so kind and accommodating to us over several days of post safari activities.

Vacation that will stay in my memories forever
Right when we landed in Kenya, Carolyn was there to meet and guide us. Had some interesting conversations with her about Bollywood movies. Our driver/guide Macha was exceptional too, he was constantly in touch with other guides and ensured we could see big 5 s and ugly 5s. The conversations were so informative, learnt a lot of new things about Africas flora and fauna.
They ensured our safety, even when it was a late night drop at the airport Carolyn came to pick us up from the hotel. I loved their hospitality, definitely recommend them.

Well organised, friendly and obliging tour company. An amazing trip.
We were looking for a tour company based in Kenya who provided a private tour with flexibility. Shanjoys communication (Beth) from the planning stage to and throughout the tour was spot on. We were met promptly at the airport and from then on we were never left waiting. Our Kenyan guide, Patrick, who said he was Patrick number 2, was definitely Number 1 in our books. From his friendly welcoming smile and greeting on day 1 we knew we were in safe hands. Patrick was always proactive and ensured we were made aware of additional optional activities such as cultural experiences and balloon rides. We had 1 night in lake Nakuru and 2 nights in the Masai Mara before we farewelled Patrick and met Ledgar, our Tanzanian guide who we also felt instantly connected with. Both guides had excellent knowledge of the animals and the surroundings as well as being well intuned with their vehicles. Our safety was always their priority. After 3 nights in the Serengeti, 1 at Ngorogoro crater rim and 1 night at Tarangire we returned to Kenya for 2 nights at Ambolselli. We were so thrilled to be met by our same Kenyan guide, Patrick who again ensured our last days in Kenya were relaxed and memorable. We were sad to farewell him at the airport and would highly recommend Shanjoy Tours for any Kenya / Tanzania tour.
