Authentic, professional and serious
Alek has been an amazing driver/ guide finding all the animals that we were expecting. He also give us information about all what we ask and had always his book to show us all kind of birds that we could see. It has been such an amazing experience and we would highly recommend.
The accommodation has been really good as we expect it, is basically what you see on the pictures.
Breakfast and dinner were very good.

Superb!!!
Zambezi Expedition Travel & Tours did an outstanding job overall! We booked an 8-day trip that included Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Everything was arranged smoothly and professionally. When we encountered unforeseen circumstances, such as delayed flights and bad weather, they were very flexible. Mr. Oscar and Ms. Silence made sure that everything was rescheduled so we wouldn’t miss any of our preferred activities. Mr. Oscar (I believe he is the boss) even went out of his way to accompany us during the busiest day of our trip.
As it was our first time visiting the continent (2 females), we were so he grateful to have booked with them, as they made it an unforgettable experience. We felt well taken care of from start to finish and felt safe throughout our journey.
I highly recommend Zambezi Expedition Travel & Tours and wish them continued success!

Excellent tour, pleasant, helpful and efficient.
African Big Cats delivered everything that was promised and then some. Guides Claus and Lovoi were great and provided every opportunity for us to see and experience all that a Tanzanian safari has to offer. Seeing the Mara river crossing was a highlight.

Once in a lifetime experience
We booked as a family visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli over 6 days. Liaising with Paul to arrange booking was very straightforward and boy did he deliver. Right from start of the safari we knew it was going to be one to remember, as we were picked up from our airport hotel and instantly felt at home with our guide Paul. We feel like we saw everything we wanted to see and more, as Paul had a way of getting us to the best viewpoint at exactly the right time and was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and surroundings. We were amazingly close to wild animals but at no time felt at risk, having lionesses walk past our jeep and stop to look in was particularly memorable. The accomodation, booked on our behalf as part of the package, just got better and better as the safari went on. Thank you to everyone at Ways Of Africa who made this a once in a lifetime trip which delivered in every way 5*.

Was a great experience
We had an amazing experience in the Masai Mara with our guide, Newton. He was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and patiently answered all our questions, making the game drives both exciting and educational. Newton was also very warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout the trip, which made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. Thanks to him, we spotted many animals and learned so much about the park. Highly recommend Newton to anyone visiting Masai Mara!

I'll make it short.
The driver/guide, the comfort of the car, the choice of hotels, the excursions, all was outstanding!

Amazing guide, organisation was flexible and responsive. Fair pricing
We spent 5 days in Kenya, going first to Lake Nakuru, then Lake Naivasha and spending the rest of our trip in the Maasai Mara with a stop by a Maasai village on our way back to Nairobi. Organising the tour (getting the quote and planning the itinerary) went well, Denis was responsive and accommodated all of our requests! Pricing is good and fair.
Our guide, James, was absolutely sensational and we strongly recommend him! He has immense knowledge on any animal that you will encounter. He was happy to thoroughly answer all of our questions (and we had many) about the wildlife but also the Maasai culture and the life in Kenya. He was also very flexible and happily accommodated a last minute request to change the planning of our last day. James is super friendly and always positive, hakuna matata! Finally, he is a smooth and skilled driver, both on the road and in the savanna!
The 4x4 was great, the roof opens up which allows clear 360 views. It’s comfortable and came with water and blankets! We recommend it compared to the minivan option, the Masai Mara can be muddy and treacherous - even with a 4x4 you can get stuck in the mud.
We stayed at the following hotels / camps:
- Egret Savanna Camp (previously Flamingo Hill Tented Camp) at Lake Nakuru - Good and clean tented accommodation, great buffet food, good amenities. They provided hot water bottles to warm up the bed which we greatly appreciated as the weather was rather cold on our first day!
- Taphe Resort at Lake Naivasha - We were very disappointed with this accommodation! The room, shower, towels and sheets were dirty. The food was not pleasant, both dinner and breakfast.
- Talek Bush Camp at Maasai Mara - We got the Safari House which is a room that sits just in front of the Talek river. This in particular was a highlight - from the room we were able to observe crocodiles, hippos, baboons and even a giraffe! However, we had many issues with the shower - at first no hot water, and once fixed we’d only have hot water if we set the water pressure to a very low setting. Otherwise the room was basic but clean, and the food was good.
Overall, this trip was magical and we highly recommend Bushtop, especially James!

Excellent tour operator.
I had a great time with Axis Africa. Our driver Ali had been nothing short of exceptional. He made sure we saw all the animals that we came to see (except for Leopard but that’s very rare). He gave us explanation about the parks, animals and also some fun facts about the animals. The stay and food during the trip was also good. Overall a great experience and highly recommended.
