Fantastic 6-Day Budget Safari in Kenya with Axis – Highly Recommended!
We recently completed a 6-day budget safari in Kenya with Axis Safari, and as a family of five, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the trip was professionally organized, great value for money, and truly memorable – thanks in large part to our incredible guide, Mohamed.
Mohamed was not only courteous, respectful, and attentive to all our needs, but also an extremely safe and skilled driver, navigating both well-known and lesser-used tracks with confidence and ease. His deep knowledge of animal behavior — including mating habits, migration patterns, and different breeds — added a rich educational layer to every game drive. Whether we were watching lions early morning or tracking elephants across the plains, Mohamed always had fascinating insights to share.
The accommodations were well-selected for a budget safari, offering solid comfort and amenities without breaking the bank. Each place was clean, welcoming, and perfect for families – truly great value for money.
We also appreciated the new Land Cruiser we traveled in, which was not only comfortable and well-equipped but also cleaned thoroughly after every day trip, something we really valued after dusty drives through the bush.
All in all, Axis Safari delivered beyond our expectations, and we highly recommend them — especially if you’re lucky enough to have Mohamed as your guide. His professionalism, experience, and passion for wildlife made our safari unforgettable.

Best Safari Tour company in Kenya
We had an excellent 8 days in Kenya. Visted Amboseli and stayed at Oliepo, then flew to Masai Mara and stayed at Ilkeliani Mara Camp. Charley was our tour guide and he has to be the best tour guide in Kenya. Really nice guy. Relaible, knew just where to go to get the best views of the animals. The staff at Oliepo were very accomodating and delivered service beyond expectations. At Ilkeliani the lodge, the accomodation, food and service was better than most hotels I've stayed in around the world. Right on the Masai Mara reserve, either back for lunch or a spectacular picnic during the day. Mara Triangle Safaris were well organised. Kept us informed. Truely exceptional experience.

Southern Africa - three countries
We came across Safari365 on the internet, and from the very beginning of our trip planning, Frederick and the team were tremendous - returning calls/emails quickly and suggesting places and activities for our safari.
We started in Cape Town (as a base to start from), then toured Namibia (that was stunning), Botswana (impressive) and Victoria Falls (a real highlight).
Our accommodation was top quality and all transfer connections, and private drivers, were on time and were all very knowledgeable and professional. Our whole safari never missed a beat.
At one stage I had to phone the Safari365 24 hour emergency number, because I had misread an instruction, and the staff were there to help me out of a potential missed flight.
We highly recommend Safari365.

AMAZING! Everything has been perfect
My boyfriend and I went on a budget safari for 3 nights and 4 days. We spent the first night in a Lodge and the other two nights camping. We loved everything! The food was great and the people of the accommodation were super nice. Also our coordinator Stephen checked on us every day ☺️ the safari was perfectly organized and we got to see many animals in all the parks visited ( Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater)! The jeep was cleaned and comfortable with unlimited water and other soft drinks.
Also the food during the safari was super tasty!
It was an incredible experience and we highly recommend Fondness Vacation to organise it ✨

Top-Notch Experience, Highly Recommended!
We chose Fondness Vacation for our 4-day safari and couldn't have made a better choice. The itinerary through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro was perfect, with tons of animal sightings, thanks in large part to our guide, Freddy, who was excellent and very knowledgeable.
The organization was top-notch: Stephen contacted us every day to check in, the jeep was comfortable and always fully stocked, and the food—both the packed lunches and at the accommodations—was genuinely great. We really appreciated the mix of one night in a lodge and two nights camping, which made the savanna atmosphere even more immersive. A serious, competent agency that truly takes care of its clients. Well done!

Visited Tarangire, Serengeti (North and Central), Ngorongoro Crater. All amazing all different. We missed the rare Black Rhinoceros. Our time cut short by a flight change out of our control (or Goldfinch)
The hotels, lodges above our expectations . Highly recommend Goldfinch, Kevin and Emanuel.

Unforgettable Uganda adventure
We are a group of 4 friends and decided to book our trip in Uganda with Buyaga safari because of the good reviews and great price.
Peter, the owner was always kind, helpful and patient in answering all our requests and with him we planned our beautiful 12 day itinerary. On our arrival we met our guide Azariah and with him we began an extraordinary adventure discovering this wonderful and authentic country. Azariah was with us all the time and became part of our group, an exceptional driver and guide who helped make every moment of this trip unique and unforgettable. We trusted him to accept an unforeseen change in the programme and for any daily advice without ever being disappointed.He is now our friend and always remains in our memory with great affection
We travelled in a 5-seater land cruiser 4x4 jeep, I would advise groups of 4 like us to choose
the 7-seater jeep, as the journeys are long and demanding it would have been more comfortable to have more space, especially for the two passengers sitting in the back.
The trip exceeded all our expectations with a beautiful and varied itinerary with many activities included. Good choice of lodges always in scenic locations and with excellent service, we had all meals included with a choice of several courses and we always ate very well.
I recommend this wonderful trip to Uganda to everyone, Buyaga Safari and Azariah , the best guide.
