I recently joined a group of friends to visit Kenya and Africa for the very first time - this time with my mom! It was also her first time visiting Africa, and although it was an incredibly long journey from China, all of us (including my mom) agreed it was absolutely worth the effort.
The entire experience was perfect, and seeing how happy my mom was made it even more special. She told me she never thought she’d have the chance to visit Africa, even though it had always been a dream of hers. Traveling that far and planning such a trip would have been overwhelming for a woman in her 60s who speaks no English - but thanks to Esther and her amazing team, it became possible.
We were fortunate to have a friend lead the preparations with Esther, and our guide, Robin, truly elevated the whole trip. He was attentive, patient, and so thoughtful - always driving carefully, making sure we had everything we needed, even bringing warm water for my mom. Robin’s expertise in spotting wildlife was unbelievable. He could spot a spotted hyena carrying a gazelle carcass from nearly 2 kilometers away! Without his keen eyes, we would have missed so many incredible sightings.
Weather changes added complexity to our safari, but Robin handled everything flawlessly. When it rained, he instinctively adjusted routes and plans in real time, leading us to where the animals had moved. His skill and adaptability made the trip unforgettable.
I’m so deeply grateful to Esther for organizing such a seamless trip and to Robin for guiding us through Kenya with care and expertise. This experience was especially meaningful because I got to share it with my mom. She is now one of the very few people from China who have had the chance to explore Africa - and I know this journey will remain one of her most treasured memories.

With Axis Africa safari we had smooth, wonderful and hassle free experience right from start to end.
We had an unforgettable four-day trip to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru. Our guide, Ali, was highly knowledgeable and demonstrated great expertise in locating the animals and explaining their behavior.
It was an adventurous and informative experience which we will never forget.

Very friendly, well known, professional, and social. Leroy is taking the max out of it, very good!
The tour is very nice, everything was well organized, good cars, food and sleeping accommodations. Although it is not so cheap it is worth it!!
They will do what is promised.
The next time we will make a booking again at this company.

The Nduruma waterfall hike and Meru coffee tour was one of the highlights of my stays in Arusha!
This is a very authentic visit to a small community of artists and coffee growers in Mount Meru. There is a beautiful hike to a pristine waterfall called Nduruma, and a visit to a small community of artists and coffee producers. They prepare an authentic Tanzanian lunch on wood fire with clay pots, the flavor profile is just spectacular. You have the chance to pick coffee fruit, separate the bean from the fruit, and roast them over wood fire, finally grinding the coffee you roasted over wood fire with wood mortar pestle, and then brewing it Tanzanian style. The bloom is just beautiful and it was like trying coffee for the first time, for me at least, there’s nothing like a cup of fresh coffee in Tanzania. A special thanks to Junior and Elijah! They were really welcoming and provided such an amazing experience! Our driver and guide was also just an amazing host, very attentive and concerned for our enjoyment, Enoch! Thank you all for an unforgettable and wonderful day together!

Perfect
Asante Sana
The organization was top-notch, and the accommodations during the safari (Heart and Soul Lodge and Moyo Tented Camp) exceeded expectations. The staff were very accommodating, and the service was excellent.
Most importantly, however, was our guide, Julius, who accompanied us safely and informatively throughout the five days. Thanks to his persistence and experience, we spotted the Big Five at least twice each. He waited patiently (pole pole) until we found the right camera angle. Thanks to his experience, we never felt like we were missing anything.
My childhood dreams were more than fulfilled.
Thanks to Meru and especially to Julius for the unique experience; we felt like the "One Family" that Julius had announced at the beginning of the tour.

Guide Mtinangi is the best :)
We did a 2-day tour in Tarangire and Ngorongoro parks. Even though there were some small issues with the organization (we booked through another company, but they didn’t have enough people, so we were sent with Travel Africa Safari, and got all the info only at the last moment), our guide Mtinangi kept fixing everything. He always found ways to save time and was in contact with other guides, so he knew exactly where to go to find the exact animals. The experience was amazing - I actually liked it more than in South Africa. We also caught the animal migration, which looked really massive.

A professional agency
Philippo is very professional, with a team of reliable, friendly, and kind guides and drivers who did everything to make sure we were satisfied. The choice of hotels and lodges was excellent, and we were warmly welcomed. We ended up growing very fond of Tanzania and its people — they are truly authentic and kind. We will never forget the kindness of Erin, Elise, Soleiman, Pita, as well as all the hotel staff, and especially the team at Glimps Lodge.

A once in a lifetime trip
Coming to Uganda was a dream come true for us. After a bit of research we contacted Buyaga Safari. Peter was always on time and quick in replying and offering support. The itinerary was the most complete with the best price. It did not disappoint!
We met with our incredible guide Gavis and we started a 12-day tour including all the must-see in Uganda. Our itinerary icluded Murchison Falls, Kibale Chimps tracking, Gorilla tracking, Golden Monkeys and Lake Mburo. We started and finished in Entebbe though we could have started in Kigali as well.
We stayed in various different accommodation while always enjoying a true Ugandan experience. Lodges vary in style and amenities but for the very fair price we had it was perfect for us. Of course you need to adjust and enojoy wilderness but I do believe that this is also a fundamental part of the trip itself.
Transfer across different sights might be a bit long but we really enjoyed driving across Uganda and seeing its lush landscape and lively cities. Gavis made us try and enjoy all the richness of its country with delicious fruits and was always ready to share with us curious and fun facts.
He accommodated all of our needs, even during Gorilla tracking, we hoped to be assigned to a closer family and he made this happened. His attention and knowledge improved our experience and made this trip unforgettable.
Excellent organization at a very fair price. Trust them with your trip you will not be disappointed!
A special thanks to Gavis who was fun, informative and always ready with a smile :)

Perfect safari with Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris!
My daughter and I just finished a fabulous week safari we booked with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. I can't say enough good things about them. Our salesman Almachius was patient and quick to answer all my questions. He also was great at laying out how the week would be structured and what to expect during the week. Our safari driver for the week was Robert. He did a great job tracking down the animals. We were able to see the big 5 along with the Wildebeest Migration crossing. We also enjoyed the flexibility of working with Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris. They were great at adding the additional places we wanted to visit: a hike to Materuni waterfall, coffee tour, Chemka Hot Springs, and tour of Serval Wildlife. Our day driver was Nixon. He was great at informing us of the culture and history of the places we visited. Could not have asked for a more perfect trip thanks to Meru slopes Tours and Safaris!
