There are many to choose from, but this is the best! Flexible, professional, knowledgeable!
Emile from Lion Safaris curated a perfect trip for me during my visit to Akagera National Park. Our driver Peter and our guide Erik showed the utmost professionalism, and they were so knowledgeable about the animals in the park. This was my third time in Rwanda, and now I will only book with Lion Safaris.
For those reading, I know there are many tour operators to choose from. I would encourage you to have a conversation with Emile. He was able to curate an experience with exactly what I wanted at a price point where I was comfortable. I cannot recommend him enough.

Awesome safari experience
Axis' organisation was top notch and everything went very smoothly.
We had a great time on safari with our guide, Sempele, who was knowledgeable, accommodating and engaging. He also put us in pole position to see two different cheetah kills - which were an absolute wonder to behold in real life.
I was also very impressed with the cleanliness of the car every day.

Our Safari Adventure: A Trip to Remember
Just got back from our safari, and wow—it was an experience we’ll never forget. Early mornings, sipping coffee while the sun rises, and then hopping into our Land Cruiser to explore the wild. We barely got started before we were up close with elephants, lions chilling in the shade, and giraffes casually strolling by.
Our guide was fantastic—super knowledgeable and made everything feel personal. The accommodations were perfect too: cozy, peaceful, and just what we needed after a day of adventure. Each night, we’d sit under the stars, talking about the incredible sights we saw that day.
It wasn’t just a trip—it felt like a real adventure. The kind of experience that makes you feel connected to nature in a way nothing else can. If you’re looking for an unforgettable getaway, a safari is the way to go!

Unforgettable Safari Experience in Kenya!
From the moment we made our first inquiry, the team was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely passionate about creating an unforgettable safari for us. Every detail — from the choice of lodges to the smooth logistics and knowledgeable guide — was thoughtfully planned and perfectly executed.
We explored the breathtaking beauty of Kenya, from the rolling savannahs of the Maasai Mara to the flamingo-filled shores of Lake Nakuru, all without a single worry. The itinerary was well-paced, the vehicle was comfortable, and the wildlife sightings were beyond anything we imagined!
If you're dreaming of a seamless, magical safari experience, Bontel Adventures is the team to trust. Thank you for making our trip so memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

Good
I had an amazing experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris! From the very start, Tabitha was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. She took care of all my needs and provided a well-organized itinerary that made the entire trip smooth and stress-free.
During the safari, our guide Francis was simply outstanding. His knowledge of the wildlife and the park was impressive, and he went above and beyond to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. He knew exactly where to take us for the best sightings and made the journey fun and engaging with his friendly personality.
Everything was perfectly planned, and I truly felt well taken care of from start to finish. I would highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized safari adventure.
Aloyse started as my tour guide but became my brother
Everything about the tour ran like clockwork. From the moment Aloyse picked us up to our journey through the parks to the drop offs at our lodgings. It was all smooth from start to finish.
Aloyse was an impeccable guide who used his 16 years of experience to give us unforgettable memories, from lions eating an elephant to a leopard up a tree with a kill to fighting hippos, baby elephants feeding, a den of baby lion cubs and even managing to get us a fairly good view of the great wildebeest crossing of the Mara river despite being surrounded by 100 other trucks. It was honestly like Aloyse had arranged for the animals to come out for us.
It’s a tough job being a guide. Nature doesn’t work on a schedule and the Serengeti park is clearly admitting far too many trucks at once which impacts your experience there. It’s a bit of a free for all and you can see the behavior of some tour companies impacts the animals regular behavior.
But Aloyse made the whole thing look easy. He was kind, thoughtful, fun to be around and most importantly to us he was respectful of the animals, giving them their space (it seems that a lot of other companies don’t do this and just drive up to the animals) but still ensured we had unbelievable moments with them.
If we ever come to do another safari trip, which I hope we will, I’d definitely make sure he was my guide.

Exceeded Expectations, over and over!
After the initial booking, all we needed to do was pack and show up; everything was taken care of for us from point A to point Zed.
Our local tour guide, Emmy, was an expert in hospitality and was on top of every aspect, handling our trip with compassion, humor, patience and history (of himself as well as Rwanda). He is an ambassador for his country, company and profession.
Trekking to visit the mountain gorillas was arduous and tricky, but worth every slippery step. I was so humbled in their presence. Emmy assisted in arranging exactly what we were looking for, again, exceeding expectations.

Organised, smooth, outstanding service.
Our 2 day safari experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The entire booking process was so easy and smooth, with every detail handled efficiently and professionally. Everything was fully tailored to meet our needs and every request we made was met without any issues at all. From the moment we first enquired, it was clear that we were in good hands. Communication was excellent throughout – Avitus was always available on WhatsApp to answer all of our questions and provide updates, no matter the time of day. His quick responses, friendly approach and thorough explanations made the whole process completely stress free and straightforward. We felt fully supported at every stage, and by the time the trip arrived we were confident that everything had been arranged perfectly.
The safari itself exceeded all expectations. We had Shabanially as our guide and he was absolutely brilliant. So friendly, kind and incredibly knowledgeable. He was always attentive, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. His passion for wildlife truly showed – he constantly kept an eye out for animals, made sure we got the best views by perfectly positioning the vehicle and even took amazing photos of us to capture the experience.
Shabanially ensured we arrived safely at our lodge and was always prompt in picking us up each morning. He went above and beyond in every way and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
We honestly can’t express how seamless, enjoyable and memorable our safari was. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone – it was truly a trip of a lifetime!
