Perfekt Trip
The organization was perfect. We were picked up from the N1 Hotel in Victoria Falls and driven to the border with Zambia. Our passports were checked there, and then we were taken to the Zambian side. Keith and John picked us up there. We had booked a private tour. Keith was a great, calm driver. John was a superb guide who shared really interesting information with us. John and Keith were fantastic. We saw giraffes, elephants, monkeys, buffalo, and impalas. Chobe National Park in Botswana had more to offer... BUT... the highlight came at the end. There are only 12 rhinos left in the whole of Zambia, and 10 in this park. We stopped at a certain point and met the rangers there. We then walked with the rangers for 2 or 3 minutes and then came across 6 rhinos. The distance to the rhinos was about 20 meters. Amazing. It was truly a wow factor. We were able to take photos in peace and ask the super friendly rangers questions. A wonderful moment. You have to do this tour!!!!!

Great safari with passionate guides
Went with a mate for a safari trip (6 days) and hiking Kilimanjaro ( 2days) . We really liked the safari - was well organised and got to see the big 5. Our safari guide Nuru was awesome and really passionate about his job - made the experience really fun when the guide is keen and looking out for the animals! Unfortunately we didn’t see the migration despite camping there for the full day - the wilder beasts didn’t seem to want to cross that day. 2 nights in the Serengeti was definitely the right call and camping overnight was something else - seeing elephants close to our camps and hearing distant lion roars at dawn.
We had a small hiccup on our hiking trip - we were supposed to have an overnight camp but the park rules changed and didn’t allow short camps. This was unfortunate and we didn’t find out until the gate due to the admin mismatch but our guide worked with us to provide a very reasonable refund for the missed portion of the itenary - and provided alternative activities to explore the town nearby instead.
Loved the experience overall - and shoutout to our guide organisers (Gift) and safari guide Nuru.

So well organized and friendly
Pamela from Zim was the best tour guide! We booked an 8 day excursion in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Everything was so well organized and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first safari! We also loved our tour guides Caleb from Chobe and Dicky from Okavango. These people all made our trip so special!

Incredibly organized and thoughtful
I had an absolutely amazing experience with this tour operator during my four day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru safari. Since the moment I contacted Dextrip Safari for a quote, the tour operator agent (Antony) was very thorough and responsive with his timely response to all my inquiries, as well as being proactive with providing the pertinent details about the safari tour. Impressed with his professionalism as well
as with the incredible tour itinerary, naturally I booked this tour with the deposit. When the tour began, I was even more impressed with their staff, their wonderful tour guides, their flexibility and consideration with accommodating the needs of their guests, their equipment, their choice of a wide array of accommodations ranging from budget to mid luxury to luxury, their attention to details and their commitment to provide a memorable safari experience for all their guests. Overall, I commend this tour company for their excellence and speciality in delivering a memorable safari experience to me and my fellow tour guests.

With Axis Africa- The Incredible and unforgettable moments
I had a seven days safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Before this tour I had several discussions with Cynthia and she helped me to plan my trip in a perfect manner. She also helped me to procure my train tickets for Mombasa. But this tour would not have been that successful if we did not have Tom as our driver cum guide. He is not only well conversant about the wild animals but also very eager to make us see the big five. I and my wife are very happy with the type of service provided to us by this team. My only bad experience in this tour was with AA Lodge Amboseli. Although their staffs were very cordial, but service is below average. I would request the team to make a note of this in their future bookings.

Great people and a great trip
We booked a 3 day safari as part of a holiday to Zanzibar. The early pick up was a bit of a challenge so early into our holiday, but the advantage that gives is a good full first day in the National Park. Within minuets we were seeing Giraffe, Impala and Warthog's. 20 minutes in, a family of elephants shaking fruit out of trees. This was all supported by the guide (Fabian) who explained away but also tried to educate and keep us involved by asking us questions. The second day we did the Bush Walk and the river Trip, I even got to create fire just using a couple of sticks and lots of rubbing them together. On the boat trip we saw lots of Hippos and Crocodiles, getting very close to one Croc in particular. Day 3 was another full day in the park, much warmer which seemed to reduce the number of animals we saw. Although the animal highlights are special (we did get to see a lion as well) the people are what make this trip special. So friendly and helpful. A great team doing their best to make every day special.

Fabulous
We had an amazing time on the full day safari and the waterfalls hike. The transfers were so smooth and efficient, staff very kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. We met some inspiring people who gave us a beautiful insight into their culture. Always so quick to respond to messages too! A trip that was well worth the money and the hype, would highly recommend.

Excellent service offer by Dominic and by David, our fantastic guide, good prices.
Dominic was very helpful and always avalaible. He helped us with our e-visa for example. We loved the service offered by David, our second guide. He was so kind, calm, good listener. He took great care of us. We saw and learned so much with him during the games drive.
Good price for all that we got.

Thank you Northern Fox for giving us the best service
We planned our trip to Uganda with friends and we chose Northern Fox Adventures as the local tour operator in Uganda. Their service was really amazing, the guide was amazing and they ensured safety. If there’s one word to describe our gorilla trekking trip in Uganda, It is, in a word, extraordinary,. The moment we stepped into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with our boots muddy and hearts racing, we knew this was going to be one of those once-in-a-lifetime adventures. There was a surreal silence as we observed them - a silverback lounging confidently, playful juveniles tumbling around, and a mother cradling her baby. Being in their world, even for just an hour, felt sacred. Cameras clicked, but we all paused several times just to take it in. That eye contact with a wild gorilla. Chilling in the best way.
