Deeply personal safari experience from first hello to final goodbye
From the very first text to the final drop-off at the airport, Africa Barefoot Safaris made our Kenyan adventure absolutely seamless and deeply memorable. As a family of three—myself, my wife, and our 9-year-old daughter—we felt cared for every step of the way, and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this incredible country.
A huge shoutout to Prajwal, who runs the company with warmth, precision, and heart. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and thoughtful throughout the planning and execution of our trip. Everything—from airport pickups to park transfers and lodge bookings—was coordinated like clockwork.
And to Patrick, our guide and now friend, thank you. You made this journey unforgettable. Your calm energy, deep knowledge of the wildlife, and ability to make each moment exciting (especially for our daughter!) brought Kenya alive for us. Within a day, it felt like we’d known you forever.
Our journey included:
• Nairobi - Giraffe Centre & Elephant Orphanage – a magical way to get up close with gentle giants
• Lake Nakuru – the rhinos here were a big highlight, and the landscape was stunning
• Masai Mara – the crown jewel of the trip. We got up close to lions, and even spotted leopards right next to us — my personal favorite moment.
My wife fell in love with the giraffes, especially the ones we saw during a glowing Mara sunset—it felt like something out of a movie.
And as for our daughter—her favorite was the “cute” warthog (yes, one of the Ugly 5!). She decided the warthogs were so adorable, she’s officially created a new category: the Cute 5.
This trip gave us more than just beautiful views and animals—it gave us shared memories, unexpected laughs, and new friendships. We can wholeheartedly say that Africa Barefoot Safaris delivered one of our best vacations yet.
To Prajwal and Patrick: thank you. We’ll be telling stories about this trip for years to come.

Quick and effectice
We just finished our Safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and had a wonderful experience! Unfortunately we were not lucky enough to see the Leopard out of the Big Five, but our guide, Peter Kapino, tried his best to make sure we had a great time and saw as much as we could possibly see. And that's part of the beauty of a safari: you never know what you're going to find.
In terms of communication, Axis African Safaris where always very quick to reply to any questions.
Finally, the only constructive feedback I have is to update the amount of the optional boat trip in Lake Naivasha. We were initially told that it would cost 20 USD pp, however the current price is 30 USD pp. Not enough to ruin our trip in any way, but worth mentioning in order to better manage customer expectations in the future.
Thanks again for Axis Africa Expeditions, especially our guide Peter, for the unforgettable trip!

The correct choice
Overall, it was an amazing experience. Everything was very well organized and the whole tour run smoothly. While the all lodges were very good one, the lunches were also very tasty. The tour guide, Damian was very experienced one and made the whole tour perfect for us.

Trained
We did the safari for 3 days because we were volunteering with them in Arusha and we couldn't made a better choice, was more than enough because the three national were very different , it's not like you see the same animals and scenario everyday, it changes completely, a friend and i from Mexico were very fortunate because we did it with the volunteers we met in the house, that also wanted to do the safari and it was the perfect team, Mexico, Italy, Spain and England. And of course with our very friend Fhadil, who was the safari driver, that came one day before the weekend to to a briefing of what to bring, what we were specting, and all wee needed to know about what we were about to live. Without a doubt it's in my top 3, it's not everyday you visit different parks, with dear friends and logistically perfect. We were always very courious to know specifics about the parks, the animals, the safari truck, different safari seasons, safari parks, people living in different zones we were visiting and our guide always had an answer, if he didn't know he'll check the information. Had so much fun and WILL come back eventually, if you have the opportunity, DON'T MISS OUT.

fabulous
I am so happy we managed to find such a good safari tour as they gave us, not just the best but one of the funniest and outgoing guide Albert.
I would highly recommend choosing him as your guide as he has been doing it for 22 years, which is just astounding to hear. That much experience you would think that you surely will see everything, right? Look no further as Albert, with his bare eyes, located every single animal that I couldn't see. He knows so much about these animals with just one glimpse of them, he knows the way around the parks without needing any guidance.
He would always try his best to keep the energy as positive as possible, always making jokes and laughing at ours. Such a great guide and overall person.
He never failed to make me smile once during the entire safari tour and will leave your jaw on the floor at how skilled he really is when put out in the open. Definitely one of the best guides out there and has a good sense of humour as well.
Thank you Albert so much for such a unforgettable experience, that will always have a place in my heart as this was my was my first safari and the BEST one too!

An exceptional safari experience—I can’t wait to return!
My safari adventure with Jungleroam Safaris was absolutely incredible, thanks to our amazing guide, Steve! From start to finish, his expertise, enthusiasm, and dedication made the trip truly special.
Steve’s knowledge of wildlife and the local ecosystem was impressive—he could spot animals from a distance and shared fascinating facts about each species. His passion for conservation and respect for nature were evident in every detail of the tour.
What stood out most was Steve’s professionalism and friendliness. He ensured our safety while making the experience fun and engaging. Whether it was tracking a leopard, witnessing a herd of elephants, or enjoying a breathtaking sunrise, Steve made sure we had the best views and photo opportunities.
The entire Jungleroam Safaris team was well-organized. But it was Steve who made this adventure unforgettable. I highly recommend Jungleroam Safaris, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Steve as your guide!
