Wyclef was very knowledgable & was dedicated to seeing all the sightings to the best of his ability
Roju was excellent. I was so grateful to our tour coordinator, Rodgers, for organizing transport, tour, and lodging, in a seamless process. I would highly recommended them and think the 3 day journey was the perfect amount of time to see and experience all that Masai Mara has to offer.

We saw a great migration
Shengena make a custom made safari for us, because we wanted to see a great migration in N Serengeti. Everything was perfect organised and Stanley was a prefect guide. He always look for great spots to see animals and was in touch with rangers, who knew, where the animals are. And we saw a great migration of wildbeasts on Mara river! Thank you very much Stanley. He was also a very realible driver and we did alwas feel safe with him.
All two safari camps Kont iki central and Kon tiki migration camp were great and people there are very friendly.
About comunication - Frank was our sales consultant and he was really great. He prepared our 5 days safari just like we wanted to be. But than, one month ago, I felt something was not right - Frank did not answer my question, so I writte on a company email - than he answer everything is ok. And than no masage from him until one week to our arrival. I was so nervous, because he did not answer again. So I writte a mail again. Than Omar writte and said again that is all good. But 3 days before arrival I still didn't have any information about plane ticket, who will pick us up and where. At the end it was all good, I just have been stresed so much before arrival.

Ole P. Was an amazing guide!
SOK representative met us at the airport and took us to our first hotel
In Nairobi. Our guide, Ole P. Met us the next morning and took us to lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara and was simply amazing. He was kind, knowledgeable and very attentive. In two days we saw the ‘big five’ and a wildebeest crossing. He is Masai and his understanding of the animals and nature of the Mara was outstanding! If you go, ask for Ole Paro!

If you want to have a perfect safari, book axis!
We had a great week!!! Our guide Rama always tried to get the best sights for us, tried to let us make wonderful photos! Provided us with information (available in 6 laguages!!! i.e. German) if we wanted, answered each question, seemed just to know where the leopard moves next (to our car😁) and was just as keen on the animals as we were. We had the possibility to choose the program, our guide was very flexible. And if you are flexible, too, it is much easier for to enjoy it at high level!
The tour was very varied, the planning was great and as well as relaxed and exciting. We had one sunrisedrive (depart from the camp at 6am) and some morningdrives (depart at 7 or 8:30). He drove as fast AND secure and as comfortable as possible!
Amboseli was really worth seeing (LOTS of elefants!!), but be aware that you spend nearly 2 days in the car travelling (one there, one back).

Our Safari with Isaya from Mama Savana was a fantastic experience. Highly r
We bought this tour vis Perfect Wilderness Tours and Safaris as we initially looked into a tour covering both Mara and Serengeti. Mama Savana was the tour operator during the full trip as we ended up prioritizing Serengeti/Tanzania.
We had great and very responsive communication with Betty from Perfect Wilderness Tours & Safari during the planning of the tour. And prior to tour start we also had a brief but comforting phone call with Alex from Mama Savana.
Despite the great Trip advisor reviews (the reason for initiating dialogue) I was still a bit nervous of booking directly with a smaller local company. But absolutely no need to be concerned. We got name and contact info to our guide before our trip started and when we landed in the small airstrip of Kogatende, Isaya was there to greet us and the adventure began. Isaya is a highly experienced guide who both knows his way around and is well connected in the guide community. And has talent and trained eyes to spot where to go next to get fantastic views. No wonder he has been guide for animal photographers.
We benefited from this numerous times: from our front row position witnessing a crossing to the time we were surrounded by a big group of passing elephants - and they did not mind us because the car was placed in the right spot with engine off well in advance of the elephants reaching the game drive road - and to the many close up encounters with the lions, leopard, cheetahs and their cubs. We appreciated he was attentive to giving us great experiences while paying attention to the animals’ needs as well.
The car was well kept and equipped with AC and a fridge to keep beverages cold. Isaya also had great binoculars we used alongside our own to get close up views (and photos).
A single small advice is to walk through the itenary with the guide up front - we had a brief confusion on duration of our stay in Serengeti - maybe due to booking via Perfect Safari but operated by Mama Savana. But easily sorted as soon as we realized cause of the confusion.
Five star to both Perfect Wilderness Tours & Safari, Mama Savana and our great Guide Isaya.

Excellent Kenya Safari
We all thoroughly enjoyed our 9-day Kenya safari with Dedan. He was a wonderful driver and guide. It's magical how he got us to just the right spot before the animals appeared, and amazing how knowledgeable he is about all the plants, animals and geography of the area. The company was very easy to work with and all the arrangements went smoothly. Our accommodations were excellent, especially the tented cabins inside the parks. I highly recommend this company.

Logan. probably the most passionate and friendly tour guide we’ve ever seen, so as the company
The company has great patience helping us to arrange everything before trip. They gave really bargain price as well. The service they gave even exceeded what we expected. Logan- our tour guide tried his best to do the game drive chasing almost all animals for us. We’ve collect all the big 5 in this trip because of him. Although we did go for the top package, the operator still give us really quality meals not like the other company with dry sandwich lunch box. Make us feel really comfortable and able to enjoy the safari experience. Will definitely go back again and with the same company.

An Amazing Safari experience with Shafino!
Shafino made our Safari a magical experience. With over 25 years as a guide, he is knowledgeable and passionate about the game drives. He shared a wealth of information about the animals and the parks we visited. He has a keen eye for sightings, always anticipated the moves of each animal and parked or maneuvered in the best place to view them. We saw all of the big nine park animals plus so many more. One morning we saw over forty lions in various prides, it was unbelievable! Shafino has a love for the Serengeti that makes you appreciate every aspect of it. Truly, this was a once in a lifetime experience, but it wouldn't have happened without our amazing guide! Thank you Shafino!!

A great Safari with Meru Slopes
We took a 8 day Serengeti and migration tour with Meru Slopes and had a great time. Shadrack who prepared our itinerary was patient and professional in helping us with an itinerary that fully met our requests. Our driver and guide, Domician, is very knowledgeable and knows all the animals an plants. He was constantly in communication with fellow drivers to get first hand info about the animals and try hard to get a good spot for us to take pictures. We were lucky to see the wildbeest migration which was magnificent. All the tented camps were nice, food and service was super good. This trip was amazing! Asante sana!
