Fabulous Service giving us a relaxing experience
So we were always dreaming about the great Safari tour we wanted to be a part of. We wanted our kid (8y) to have the best experience possible. We chose Kenya as our destination. When I started looking around for tour companies from India, I was initially skeptical of choosing a provider directly in Kenya due to trust or reliability concerns (I’ve always done trips and bookings on my own before).
After a lot of research and connecting with several providers, I chose Axis Africa Safaris. It was a smooth interaction with Monica over WhatsApp all the while. We had a lot of back and forth discussions on the itinerary, budget, what time to visit etc. She was very patient and answered all my questions making sure I completely understand all the details of our Safari. She was transparent in terms of the weather conditions and when it is ideal to travel. She also provided a lot of hotel options to consider our budget and comfort. Overall the booking experience was smooth and top notch. Thank you Monica for everything. You are the best.
We arrived in Nairobi and met with Mohammed (our guide and driver) 5 stars to the person and 5 stars to his Land Cruiser (our safe haven for the whole Safari), he was very outgoing and immediately connected with us and especially with our 8y old. Mohammed just took us through every detail during our Safari, be it the animals ( their behaviors, genders), places of interest on our way of travel, and about the Kenyan and Masai culture. He was honest on things that he was not sure of. The drive was smooth (bumpy due to the roads in the park which was fun) and safe throughout. No speeding. He made sure we reach the spots where animals were moving and then gave us enough time at all places to enjoy the experience. Our kid surely missed him at the end of the trip expecting him to come pick us up on time like every day. Thank you Mohammed.
This was a private safari since we had the kid and hence we had enough time to decide when to start and where to go. I’d recommend doing the private safari if budget supports as this is ideal with small kids. We stayed at Jambo Mara (Masai Mara), Lake Nakuru Lodge and Naivasha Sopa (this one will remain with us for a long time with giraffes and zebras strolling around us as we walk inside the property)
Once again a big thank you to everyone at Axis Africa Safaris for getting us to experience a Safari of a lifetime, we take back a lot of memories.

Awesome Safari
Safari was awesome. Festo and Max took care of everything, all we had to do was show up and have fun. They worked hard to make sure we enjoyed ourselves… even though we basically turned the trip into a live Lion King audition. 10/10, would go on safari with them!!!

Incredibly simplified experience
I did a solo gorilla trek in Uganda and it was absolutely amazing. Trekking through Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to see wild mountain gorillas up close was surreal—peaceful, powerful, and something I’ll never forget. Driving all over Uganda was eye opening and an amazing way of seeing Africa.
Huge shoutout to Farouk, my guide, who was fantastic. He made me feel completely comfortable as a solo traveler and was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. The whole trip was well-organized, safe, and unforgettable from start to finish. He took care of anything I needed and made sure I was comfortable from start to finish.
If you're thinking about doing this—especially solo—go for it. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Thorough and thoughtful, comprehensive and complete.
Goldfintch arranged for us to be picked up at our hotel in Nairobi. We wanted to cross the border by land. Gifty our driver was timely and exceptional. There was no question he could not answer. His knowledge of the Maasai people was remarkable.
Our first accommodations were just alright but the people were fabulous and we fully enjoyed the restaurant and its ambience. Brenda our agent and our safari driver Sammie met us there and went over the full itinerary. Nice touch! Dinner was a part of our package. The next morning when we showed up for breakfast, our driver was waiting. This guy took things to another level. His knowledge extended from knowing about the Maasai almost as if he was one, to extensive knowledge about birds, every animal we encountered, and every town we went through.
After the Tarangire Safari, we stayed at the Suricata Boma Lodge, which quite made up for any short comings of the first. It was first class in every way imaginable. To add to that, GoldFintch arranged a very special private dinner on Lake Manyara, to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. And special it was.
The next day we went to Ngorongoro Crater and again our driver was spectacular in his knowledge of the crater and everything in it. And lets not forget the culture of the communities along the way. I highly recommend GoldFintch and will use them again on my next visit.

Meektrails offers seamless, personalized safaris with warm service and expert guides
We had an exceptional 7-day safari experience in Kenya with Meektrails, covering Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara. From start to finish, the communication was clear, timely, and professional. Peris, the main point of contact, was consistently helpful and responsive throughout the planning and trip.
On arrival, a personal welcome and thoughtful gift set the tone for the journey. The itinerary was well-organized, and the accommodations were comfortable—two of which were generously upgraded, adding a special touch. The guide, Julius, was knowledgeable, patient, and a pleasure to travel with.
Meektrails delivered outstanding value for money, with reliable logistics, personalized service, and genuine care for their guests' comfort. The experience was seamless and deeply memorable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and well-curated Kenyan safari
