With Axis Africa- The Incredible and unforgettable moments
I had a seven days safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Before this tour I had several discussions with Cynthia and she helped me to plan my trip in a perfect manner. She also helped me to procure my train tickets for Mombasa. But this tour would not have been that successful if we did not have Tom as our driver cum guide. He is not only well conversant about the wild animals but also very eager to make us see the big five. I and my wife are very happy with the type of service provided to us by this team. My only bad experience in this tour was with AA Lodge Amboseli. Although their staffs were very cordial, but service is below average. I would request the team to make a note of this in their future bookings.

Great people and a great trip
We booked a 3 day safari as part of a holiday to Zanzibar. The early pick up was a bit of a challenge so early into our holiday, but the advantage that gives is a good full first day in the National Park. Within minuets we were seeing Giraffe, Impala and Warthog's. 20 minutes in, a family of elephants shaking fruit out of trees. This was all supported by the guide (Fabian) who explained away but also tried to educate and keep us involved by asking us questions. The second day we did the Bush Walk and the river Trip, I even got to create fire just using a couple of sticks and lots of rubbing them together. On the boat trip we saw lots of Hippos and Crocodiles, getting very close to one Croc in particular. Day 3 was another full day in the park, much warmer which seemed to reduce the number of animals we saw. Although the animal highlights are special (we did get to see a lion as well) the people are what make this trip special. So friendly and helpful. A great team doing their best to make every day special.

Fabulous
We had an amazing time on the full day safari and the waterfalls hike. The transfers were so smooth and efficient, staff very kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. We met some inspiring people who gave us a beautiful insight into their culture. Always so quick to respond to messages too! A trip that was well worth the money and the hype, would highly recommend.

Thank you Northern Fox for giving us the best service
We planned our trip to Uganda with friends and we chose Northern Fox Adventures as the local tour operator in Uganda. Their service was really amazing, the guide was amazing and they ensured safety. If there’s one word to describe our gorilla trekking trip in Uganda, It is, in a word, extraordinary,. The moment we stepped into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with our boots muddy and hearts racing, we knew this was going to be one of those once-in-a-lifetime adventures. There was a surreal silence as we observed them - a silverback lounging confidently, playful juveniles tumbling around, and a mother cradling her baby. Being in their world, even for just an hour, felt sacred. Cameras clicked, but we all paused several times just to take it in. That eye contact with a wild gorilla. Chilling in the best way.

The Safari of Our Dreams – Seamless, Special, and So Worth It!
Wow wow wow!
Short review:
They got us 100%. Couldn't be happier — this was truly the trip of a lifetime!
Longer review:
We reached out to Gorilla O’Clock while searching for the right tour operator for our African safari. After contacting a few different companies, I ended up working with Paul over several weeks to fine-tune our itinerary — shortening, expanding, choosing the starting and ending locations — every detail!
My husband and I didn’t know anyone who had done a safari before, so we had no idea what to expect. Paul and his team were incredibly responsive, answering all our questions and easing every concern. I have multiple health considerations, including Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease, and Paul made sure to communicate my dietary needs to each of our accommodations.
From the moment we landed in Nairobi, everything was taken care of. We were picked up at the airport by our guide, and every lodge we stayed at was absolutely stunning — with all the amenities you could want. We even celebrated my birthday during the trip, and the team went above and beyond to make it a truly unforgettable day.
Our drivers, Joe (Kenya) and Lucas (Tanzania), were phenomenal. Thanks to their skill and determination, we saw the Big Five — not once, but twice! Their knowledge, warmth, and passion made each game drive so special. We genuinely miss spending our days with them already.
I can’t recommend Gorilla O’Clock enough. This safari was an unreal, life-changing experience that my husband and I will cherish forever. Book the trip — you will not regret it!

Very good with little kids
Everything was well organized. Our guide Endeni, who was also our driver, was experienced, very friendly, and helpful. We had an amazing time—beyond our expectations! We saw all the animals we wanted to see up close. The lodges were well arranged and the staff were friendly.

Super!
We had a very positive experience with the entire Lion King organization. Florida listened to our requests and was able to design a wonderful safari that allowed us to visit all of the areas we wanted. Our guide was Yuseph, and he was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and he was a pleasure to spend the 6 days. He was able to help us find all of the animals we were interested in seeing and he demonstrated ethical respect for the animals and for their habitats. We would strongly recommend choosing Lion King!

A beautiful experience with amazing and kind people!!!
The team was very kind and generous with our group. They were talkative during the trek and put in a great effort to make connections with us and create a happy environment. The service was also AMAZING from carrying our bags, cooking us food, making sure we stayed healthy and treating the group with kindness. They were also extremely educated and whenever we had questions they were quick to answer them! Overall the trip was the most memorable and cherished trek I’ve been on. Thank you so much for making my trip amazing!!

Incredible Tanzanian Safari with Meseno Adventures
I recently returned from my Tanzanian holiday and if I could give Samwel and Meseno Adventures more than 5 stars on this review I would. The entire experience from start to finish was exceptional. The level of organization and attention to every detail of him and his team meant that there was nothing to do but relax and enjoy the journey.
I was immensely pleased with the selection of Siafu Serenity Lodge and the Serengeti Classic View Camp as our resting points during the Safari, particularly with regards to the beauty of the spaces, the comfort of the rooms and the delicious, varied menus that took severe food allergies into serious consideration. I cannot thank Meseno Adventures enough for attending to this even before I arrived.
I must make special mention of our tour guides Vinance and Ameeri. Not only were they knowledgeble about any and all things Tanzanian, Safari and Animal related, I am utterly convinced that they are the best Safari drivers in Tanzania:)
They handled their vehicles confidently and masterfully on extremely rough terrain, and got us to some amazing animal moments.
I believe we benefitted greatly from having local Tanzanian guides as Meseno Adventures is owned by a young Tanzanian entrepreneur, Samwel Masaga and his staff are Tanzanian as well. Our tour guides described the Serengeti as their second home and this was truly how they shared it with us.
Thank you Samwel and team for making this once in a lifetime experience such a memorable one!😊

Amazing 8-Day Family Safari – A Trip of a Lifetime.
We just returned from an unforgettable 8-day family safari with Super Africa Wildlife and Adventures, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Traveling with our two children (ages 7 and 11), we were a bit nervous at first, but from day one, the team made us feel completely safe, comfortable, and excited.
Our guide, Peter, was truly exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, patient with our kids, and always making sure we were having fun. We explored several parks including Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli, and saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even a leopard! Every day brought something new and exciting.
The lodges and camps were perfect for families — clean, secure, and full of character. Our kids loved the nature walks and storytelling around the campfire in the evenings. Meals were great too, with plenty of variety for both adults and children.
What really stood out was how family-focused and well-organized everything was. We never felt rushed, and the pace was perfect for both adventure and relaxation.
This trip gave us beautiful memories as a family that we will cherish forever. Huge thanks to Super Africa Wildlife and Adventures for making it so special. Highly recommended for any family looking for a true Kenyan safari experience.
