Well organized, amazing experience and knowledgavle Guide Lobulu.
Amazing tour - it‘s budget-friendly but still you can treated like a lion king. The food from our cook Ndula was delicious - he baled fresh breads, amazing soups and so well balanced meals. We had an amazing Guide Lobulu - we would highly recommend him as he tells you so much about the animals and the culture - he was the one making our experience unique. We did Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogor Crater and were able to see many animals! We would add an additional day to Serengeti in July for the Great Migration:). Sleeping in tents in the wild is a real experience - hearing the lion while sleeping was a unique experience. Also the booking an dcommunication with Shadrack worked well - he is super responsive and always adapted the plans to our needs. Everything worked out great! We highly recommend the tour to anyone that is ready to jump into a real safari experience.

Friendly, informative and responsible
Joseph picked us up from our hotel at 6:30am to join up with the rest of the travelers heading to Krueger National Park. He was energetic from the get-go, making us feel comfortable for the short ride. I really appreciate how he explained what we could expect for our drive up and while we were waiting on the bus at the OR Airport terminal, he shared his recommendations for JoBurg. Thank you so much for giving us a great South African Hospitality on our first trip ever to the country!

Excellent in every aspect!!!
The communicating before the tour was excellent. Silas gave us many options regarding hotels before we reach decision and nothing disappointed us. Our driver Edward was very professional and punctual and arranged everything in detail. On our arrival to Arusha one suitcase was lost and Silas helped us a lot Songs to relocate and finally get it back later on Zanzibar. The safari is an experience you should not miss. We saw everything and much more than expected. Thanks to the team!!!

An extremely reliable, communicative company representing great value for money!
Safari and trekking experiences!
I booked all my trips with Travel Africa Safari and had the best experience. Very professional and made your stay very special always being there making sure we were ok. I went on a 2 - day safari which was unforgettable. My guide Godfrey was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Ally was the driver, doing my transfers, a very good driver, friendly and made sure you were safe at all times. I had several day trips in and around Arusha, experienced the local life. I was looked after by guide James, who was extremely good, helpful and reliable and also made that little extra to make your adventure even better. I highly recommend Travel Africa Safari, it could not be better! Eva, Sweden
I originally chose Travel Africa Safari for my Marangu trek due to their extremely efficient response to my queries and regular updates during the lead up to the trek and great value for money.
Upon arrival I received an excellent briefing before setting off on my individual trek with my guide Patrick and his crew. I had wondered about trekking alone rather than as a group, however due to the quick pace of the 5 day route, Patrick tailored everything to my individual needs and I’m sure this helped very much to my success and overall feeling of well being throughout my experience!
On such a trek there can always be highs and lows, however Patrick and his crew’s upbeat nature, excellent knowledge of the nature and terrain and attention to detail helped keep me motivated all the way to the summit - and back down again!
Would I choose to trek again with the same crew? Absolutely!

Fantastically efficient with all our requests and requirements.
Axis were a fantastic expedition company. They were thorough in their preparations of the trip for us. They asked plenty of questions in terms of what we wanted and tried to get the best deal for us. We were on the safari for 4 days, started at Nairobi, Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Naivasha. Their communication was fantastic as they always got back to us in timely manner. The experience was ethical in terms of respecting the animals’ habitat and the driver was mindful of us being in their territory apart from one particular sighting; we personally felt that the rush of vehicles towards the wilder beasts whilst they were crossing was quite distressful for them. Unfortunately, in that instance, we contributed towards the problem. It would’ve been nice to have viewed the crossing from a distance and thus giving the animals more space. The tour guide was aware that this was a wider issue that the reserve/park faces and he was trying to cater to everyone’s needs in our particular group. Overall, we had an incredible once in a lifetime experience. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the amount of animals we saw was incredible and the knowledge of our tour guide was impressive! Would definitely recommend booking through Axis!

Fantastic experience, highly recommended, unforgettable experience
We took a private 7 day tour covering four national parks, including the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. From start to finish, the trip was absolutely incredible. Heavenlight was fantastic, she helped tailor our itinerary to match exactly what we wanted, and her communication throughout the planning process was excellent, making everything smooth and stress free.
Our guide, Meddy, was exceptional. He had a relaxed, flexible approach that allowed us to structure each day to our preferences. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, far more than I expected, and often from just a few meters away.
The accommodations exceeded all expectations, there was even a spa in the heart of the Serengeti. Truly unforgettable!

Excellent safari, well planned, had a great time
Our week long safari with David from Migration Venture Africa was great. We saw lots of animals across several different parks. The accommodation arranged for us was brilliant, all had comfy beds, food was delicious, the staff were all friendly and helpful.
David was a brilliant guide and driver, definitely has a lot of local knowledge which was invaluable throughout the week to navigate the inevitable bumps along the way, and giving us lots of information along the way. Even when there were issues with the vehicle he knew where to go to get it fixed and in our way very quickly. The environment and roads you tavel on are very demanding on the vehicles so its not uncommon for the occasional issue with the vehicles and having a knowledgeable driver/guide is so important, and David made sure our trip carried on and we could really enjoy ourselves. He even stopped to help out another driver (with passengers) who was stuck in a fairly remote area of the serengeti, which was really good of him (it only took a few minutes to get them going so was no imposition on us).
I would definitely recommend Migration Venture Africa, and David, for others looking for a fun safari with a top notch guide/driver.

Very responsive, accommodating and heartwarming.
We had to make last-minute travel plans to Kenya and contacted Stephen with only one week left before our expected arrival.
He responded extremely quickly, secured accommodation at the peak of the Great Migration (n.b., they were all clean and well maintained), and planned our trip so we could fit in all our preferences (i.e., visit Amboseli, Naivasha, and Maasai Mara and do the boat safari and balloon safari — btw, this is a must-do activity which I strongly recommend). He even pushed back when we tried to remove Nakuru from the itinerary and insisted we visit — we ended up going and had an amazing experience seeing active lions up close and even white rhinos from a distance!! We were also lucky enough to see a group of flamingos too.
All this was possible because of our incredible guide/driver Tom. He always made us feel safe and was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. He was flexible on our requests to visit the Giraffe Centre when we were in Nairobi and always made sure we were happy. Our biggest highlight was being able to see the river crossing of wildebeests at Maasai Mara. Tom managed to pick a spot where we got a front-row view from his experience (he used to be stationed at Maasai Mara and knew the place inside out).
We were extremely happy with the services provided and strongly recommend this operator! Happy gaming!!
