A truly amazing experience
We just completed a 6-day, 5-night safari with Axis Africa Safaris for our honeymoon and it exceeded all our expectations! Our adventure began in the Maasai Mara, where we saw so many amazing wildlife. We got to experience a sunrise hot air balloon ride with sweeping views of the savannah which is an experience we’ll never forget.
Next, we explored Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, enjoying close encounters with animals on a boat ride and walking safari. The finale in Amboseli was spectacular, with the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Our guide, Ben, was exceptional - friendly, knowledgeable, and always finding wildlife before anyone else. We managed to tick off almost every animal we were hoping to see - including a couple of cheetahs! The accommodation was fantastic, the local people welcoming, and Axis Africa Safaris even helped arrange the perfect ending to our trip with 3 days of relaxation on Diani Beach.
All in all it has been a truly amazing experience and I would definitely highly recommended!

Very friendly and experienced
I had an unforgettable 4-day safari with my family – truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was very well organised, from the accommodations to the daily game drives, which made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. Our guide/driver Mick was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience. We saw incredible wildlife up close, learned so much about the parks, and felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout.

The road trip to the Stars!
My husband and I had long last been on a road trip and decided to go on a "Nerdy one" - we wanted to meet SALT.
SALT is the South African Large Telescope resident on a mountain top in Sutherland.
While our destination was set, the "schelp" on getting there was daunting, after a few hours of route planning and accommodation searching, I grew bored and disillusioned. I reached out to Google and found GO SELF DRIVE TOURS. I was skeptical but sent the email inquiry. Much to my surprise I received a prompt and friendly reply.
It took a few emails for Alette from GO SELF DRIVE to understand us as travelers and what we were expecting from our holiday. A few more emails ironing out the details and we were set! GO SELF DRIVE planned everything - accommodation, routes and places of interest. All I had to do was relax, pack and leave - how liberating!
A few weeks before departure a detailed pack was dropped off by courier including the latest SA road map book - while Google Maps and WAZE are amazing, that map book was a god send when entering zero cell reception zones! A WhatsApp group was also created so we could contact GO SELF DRIVE if we needed to. Every detail was accounted for, my husband and I were safe in their capable hands.
We embarked on our 5000km road round trip taking us from KZN through the Free State, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape.
The bound detailed itinerary book supplied with our holiday pack was invaluable - each day had a dedicated chapter showing us our route, places of interest, restaurants to our taste and our accommodation.
All reservations were taken care of - accommodation and other. Alette from GO SELF DRIVE, kept in contact informing us and the hotels, guest houses and game farms when and where we were and our arrival times. Completely seamless and headache free.
We had one of the best holidays we have ever had!
We came away from our trip revitalized.
South Africa is one heck of a beautiful country and want to see more!
We are already planning our next trip and GO SELF DRIVE will definitely be with us again!
I can recommend this company, without it, we would not have had such a wonderful time.

Great
Our safari with Ozon Light Tours was a truly wonderful experience. The entire trip was perfectly organized, and we especially loved the accommodations.
Special Thanks to Our Guides
We'd like to extend a special thanks to our driver, Agustino, and our Spanish-speaking guide, Dani. Agustino expertly navigated the challenging roads to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, while Dani was always attentive and ready to explain every detail. They are both incredibly dedicated, attentive, and kind professionals who made our safari unforgettable.

Unforgettable Safari with African Big Cats – Professional & Caring Local Operator
We had an incredible safari experience with African Big Cats and would recommend them wholeheartedly.
Highlights:
Our guide was polite, knowledgeable, and patient, explaining species and behaviours in detail, which enriched the drives.
Lodging was excellent at Lake Burunge Tented Camp and Moyo Tented Camp (Moonbow was more average).
Food was outstanding — especially for Indians, with many familiar flavours.
Accommodation staff were warm, courteous, and eager to engage in explaining wildlife.
The safari vehicle was well-equipped (drinks, chargers, binoculars, etc.), and despite the unforgiving terrain, we had no breakdowns.
The game drives were unforgettable: elephants, giraffes, and zebras in Tarangire, the unique ecosystem of Ngorongoro, and Serengeti’s breathtaking wilderness with lions and even a jaguar sighting.
Operator Service:
What stood out most was the professionalism and care of African Big Cats. They provided clear briefings and debriefings, were open to feedback, and when our AC failed during the long, hot, and dusty drive from Ngorongoro to Serengeti, it was very inconvenient. But technical issues are understandable in such unforgiving terrain. Impressively, our guide Ben fixed it the same evening and the team even upgraded our accommodation as a gesture of goodwill and compensation — a truly appreciated touch that showed how much they care about customer experience. Being a local operator, choosing them also means directly supporting the local community and economy.
Suggestions for Tourists:
Be prepared for long transfers between parks on unpaved, bumpy roads. Carry a dust mask if you’re sensitive, and check vehicle AC beforehand.
Manage expectations — spotting big cats is not as frequent as in documentaries. The thrill lies in the unpredictability and seeing wildlife coexist in their natural habitat.
Discuss pacing with your operator so you have enough downtime between drives. If your stay is under one week, spend more time in Serengeti and skip Lake Manyara park.
Overall:
An extremely satisfying safari with African Big Cats — professional, hospitable, and authentic. With small adjustments to vehicle readiness and realistic expectations, it’s close to perfect.

Amazing experience!
It was an amazing experience, thank you so much!
Peter was a perfect guide, he gave us so many information about animals, he was very passionate about his job and wildlife. He was also very kind, and created a good and fun atmosphere in the group.
About the accommodation: We booked campsite safari and we had the very good surprise to stay in a lodge the first night instead. For the 2nd and 3rd nights we stayed at the Serengeti campsite which is not really good and washrooms need a renovation. The last camping was good and confortable.

Incredible experience
We traveled with Uro for our honeymoon and everything was simply wonderful. Our guide, Mack, was the perfect companion and thanks to him we got to see more than we could have ever hoped for. Leaving with tears in our eyes and hearts full of joy is the most beautiful proof of the unique memories we will always carry with us.

Unforgettable experience
Our experience with Uro Adventure was incredible.
We visited the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire, and everything was exceptional and perfect. We saw so many animals.
I recommend everyone to rely on Uro to organize a safari.
I would like to sincerely thank our guide Mack, who was truly kind and helpful. You can feel his love for his job. Thank you, Mack, you were incredible and this trip would never be the same without you.
And thank you, Uro, for giving us the opportunity to live this experience.
