Great experience at fair price
The safari was very good organized by the company with good camping sites and useful information about the experience before starting. I had a lot of problems with the reservation because of my country`s economy messures and Peter was very patient about it, I really appreciated that!
Communication overall was really good, value for money I think was very fair.

Wide variety of wildlife
In Nairobi, modern high-rises and shabby shacks are both present. No one obeys traffic rules. Uber is efficient and cheap. The streets are littered with rubbish all over the country. Tap water is undrinkable. People are friendly. The weather was not summery in January when we were there, it rained a lot and you needed a light jacket.
We went on a 3 days safari to the Masai Mara with Axis African Travel. The organisation was excellent, everything went as agreed. Unfortunately we were given a bad tour guide, James, who didn't inform us of anything, just sped us around the national park for 2 days. He had a hard time even stopping for a photo. Whenever a special animal appeared, all the tourist jeeps would rush up and chase it, surround it, block its way. They literally do animal cruelty.
We spent 3 days at Diani Beach. The sea is crystal clear and warm, the beach is fine sand and the water is slowly deepening. We took a glass bottom boat to nearby Robinson Reef to see corals and colourful fish. The locals don't take care of the marine life. Most of the corals are dead, the fish are fed bread for tourists and the boat crews collect red starfish for visitors.
Walking through the streets we felt in no danger. We did not go out in the evenings. There were panhandlers, but not to an excessive extent.
The Nairobi - Mombasa railway is clean, cheap and punctual.
Overall, Kenya is well worth a visit.

Amazing Safari and we got to see the big 5 and so much more
Amazing Safari and we got to see the big 5 and so much more!
We went on a 4 day luxury safari with mountain warrior and their tour guide Simon , who really had the “bush eyes” and spotted all the animals. We stayed at amazing lodgers and I loved , lake Mayans, Tarangire , Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti ! Wildlife and nature are amazing! It was expensive, but worth every dollar !

Real Paradise
I fully recommend Tanzania and Zanzibar for your trip. It is gorgeous. Full of lovely people. We felt really safe. Amazing ocean, beautiful nature. During Safari we visited 3 national parks: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire. One of the best places we have ever visited. You must see it. We are going to come back next year to Tanzania and climb Kilimanjaro.

Excellent, efficient, supportive
From our first contact to our return home, our booking agent & tour coordinator, James Kilorit, was super responsive, informative, caring in his communication and guidance. From our booking to his checking in about how our experiences were coming along to our arrival home, James treated us like family in his attentiveness.
James connected us with a driver, Willy Musau, who picked us up at our hotel promptly. Over the 5 days he was with us Willy was a top gun driver. We covered a lot of territory and he was well connected with all the other drivers - who clearly respected and enjoyed him - receiving input by phone and shortwave about where various animals could be found and tracked them. He was determined to expose us to as many species as possible. He was knowledgeable about the animals including some of the specific individual animals on various reserves.
Entim at Masai Mara was a mind blowing wonderful experience, we met some of the kindest people we came to know among the Masai there and at the Serena at Amboseli.
Sorry, this is becoming an essay. In short, beautiful country, people, experiences. Go with an open heart, surrender to serendipity. We loved our experience so much and Splendid Vacations delivered beyond our hopes
