They exceeded all expectations with their seamless organization, and expert guides.
My experience with Ikaze was truly exceptional. Every detail was meticulously planned, from the seamless communication before I left home to the personalized service we received on the ground. They are a reliable and trustworthy company that delivers incredible value for your money.
Communications and Service
From the initial inquiry, the communication was clear, prompt, and professional. The team was always available to answer our questions and provided a wealth of information that helped me feel prepared and excited. Once the tour began, our dedicated guide was a true expert. They were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the local culture, wildlife, and history, but also went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety. Their passion for the region was contagious and made every day an educational and enriching experience.
Value for Money and Reliability
The value we received for the price was outstanding. The package was all-inclusive with no hidden fees, and everything from accommodations to transportation was of the highest quality. We were particularly impressed with the company's reliability—every transfer was on time, and every part of the itinerary was executed flawlessly. They have a proven reputation and their ability to handle all the complex logistics of a gorilla trekking tour gave me complete peace of mind.
The Gorilla Trekking Experience
The gorilla trekking itself was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and Ikaze's expertise made it unforgettable. I was well-briefed on what to expect and what to bring, and their on-the-ground team, including the local guides and trackers, were absolutely incredible. The hike was challenging but rewarding, and the moment we came face-to-face with a gorilla family was breathtaking. We had a full hour to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, a profound experience that words can't fully capture. The operator's commitment to responsible tourism and conservation was evident, making us feel good about our contribution to protecting these endangered animals.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ikaze to anyone seeking an authentic, well-organized, and deeply meaningful travel experience.

Making our safari dreams come true!
My friend and I (2 young women) had the absolute best safari with Axis Africa, booked by the lovely and communicative Monica. Our guide Andrew was wonderful, a great driver through all the bumpy off roading and bent over backwards to make sure our entire group was safe and happy. He was in constant communication via radio and phone with the other guides in the park to make sure we were always seeing the most extraordinary animals - I'll never forget his genuine excitement when we spotted a leopard! Our stay at Flair Camp Experiences was also so lovely... the Masai who ran the camp were just amazingly friendly and the food & accommodation were everything we needed to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. Both my friend and I felt safe and secure the entire trip, with Andrew even waiting with us until our Uber arrived to bring us back to the airport. I couldn't recommend Axis enough, the best value for experience with the best people always ready to help. Thanks for making our safari dreams come true!

Efficient, Knowledgeable and Kind
I would recommend Gustaf as a tour guide. He was well prepared, patient with our time. Eager to try to show us all five of the big five I appreciated the poncho and blanket to keep us warm in the morning before the sun came out.

Hello Levis. Thanks for organizing the trip. everything went to plan, tented accommodation was fantastic. food particularly at Ashnil was excellent, as was service from staff who were very good helping me with wheelchair. This is our 4th Safari with Hallmark.
The accessibility at all lodges was excellent and staff helpful, We were impressed with the facilities for guests with limited mobility at all lodges. Thanks for organising the birthday surprise all went well we celebrated. Also many thanks for the wedding anniversary cake, we were both overwhelmed and so surprised by the celebration. The wildlife was great, especially Sweetwater and Nakuru, We saw lions 4 times including a kill, very rare.
We also saw Cheaters, very rare but missed out on Leopard, Felix did a great job too!, very experienced & knowledgeable game spotter and good, safe driver.

Friendly and approachable
Tiyani was a great driver, we were able to spot two rhinos at a pit stop on our way to Hazyview. It was an eye opening experience for us.
Your driver was very calm and polite
Your driver had to go back to the airport to pick 2 people and was very calm about it

Unforgettable Safari Experience with an Exceptional Guide
We had an unforgettable safari experience covering the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. Each destination offered something unique, from the breathtaking savannahs of the Mara filled with wildlife, to the flamingos and rhinos at Lake Nakuru, and the serene beauty of Lake Naivasha with its hippos and birdlife.
What made the trip truly special was our guide, Roger. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. His knowledge of the parks and the animals was impressive, and he always did his very best to help us spot as many species as possible. Roger’s patience and kindness stood out throughout the journey, he never rushed us, answered all our questions with a smile, and made every game drive enjoyable.
Thanks to him, we not only saw an incredible variety of animals, but also felt genuinely well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide, and we would highly recommend both the safari and Roger to anyone planning a trip to Kenya!
