Phenomenal safari experience with the best in the business
Mizube Tours went above and beyond to make our safari unforgettable. From the beginning, Max listened closely to our preferences and customized the itinerary to fit exactly what we were hoping for. His deep knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and local culture added so much to the experience, and his professionalism and easygoing nature made every day enjoyable. We felt safe, cared for, and truly amazed by everything we saw and learned. We absolutely loved our time with Max and are already looking forward to planning another adventure with him. Thank you, Max, for such a meaningful and memorable trip!

We had Amos as our guide. He was attentive, kind, and made it possible for us to see the Big Five.
Axis Africa Safari is a reliable and trustworthy agency that offers high-quality services. The program was well-organized and clearly laid out. The various accommodations provided were excellent and of good quality.
During the booking process by email, the team was very responsive and always available to answer our questions. The staff on site were friendly and professional.
Amos, our guide, was incredibly kind, available, and professional throughout the four days. Thanks to his experience as a guide, he enabled us to see a wide variety of animals including all of the Big Five.
We sincerely thank Axis Africa for this unforgettable experience.

Food: 4.5/5
Dinner was amazing. Pap with some nice Sheba. Breakfast was okay, but not amazing for my European taste buds (Fries and Sausage is not my type of Breakfast) some nice fruits would be a great addition.

Professional, trustable and experienced Tour Operator
Together with my wife and a friend, we contacted GoGiraffe to organize a 10 days trip in western Tanzania. Our goal was to visit Katavi National Park, Mahale and Gombe.While defining the Tour, I greatly appreciated the quick replies of Luice: easy to access and fast in responding to our request. The area we wanted to visit, is the less visited in Tanzania and the Parks are difficult to reach but can guarantee a very low presence of tourists. In the 3 parks visited, we were almost alone all the time!We met Luice at the ferry arrival from Zanzibar and immediately appreciated the capacity to be on time and of have constant communication via wupp which allowed us to feel safe and well followed.We flew to Mpanda where we met the local driver and the guide. We agreed on a medium budget tour, so we slept in the Bandas of the Park. The accommodation was simple but fair, same thing for the food provided at the Bandas restaurant. The Park is fantastic, and we saw all the animals expected with the only exception of the lions. We never met other tourists and really loved the 2 days of safari.From Katavi we moved to Mahale. It is almost impossible to go straight there as the road conditions are extremely poor, but the trip is a great opportunity to observe local life and people. So, we stopped in Kigoma, were we really loved the beautiful Kigoma Hilltop Hotel with its view on the lake, a beautiful swimming pool and a very good restaurant!Early the following day, another long and beautiful drive to reach Mahale including a very picturesque ferry, an amazing experience of local life!! Finally, we arrived to the Park with a final 90 minute ride on a boat on the Tanganika lake watching the superb and uncontaminated nature of the coast. The landscape in Mahale is extraordinary: I felt like I was in Jurassic Park movie! In the Park we were under the supervision of Hussein Mavumila: a great, experienced guide and very nice person. Bandas was ok and the food better than in Katavi. With Hussein, the following day, we started the trek seeking for chimpanzees which we met and observed for all the morning. Amazing!The following day, long trip: back to Kigoma to catch the boat to Gombe. The transfers in this trip were always long and not necessarily comfortable but, to me, those are the best moments in Africa as allowed us to see real life, including the fisherman’s villages with the Tanganika Lake always in our sight. The Gombe National Park was founded by Jane Goodall to preserve and study the Chimps. The Bandas there are very poor so, if you can, reserve at the tent at the camp very close there: little more expensive but by far cleaner and more comfortable! The following morning, another long trek in the forest watching several chimps relaxed and very busy with eating and delousing. Great day! After lunch, we decided to accelerate our trip back to Kigoma so to join the comfort of Kigoma Hilltop Hotel! This decision allowed us, the following day, to be at 8 am at the fishermen arrival from the fishing night and spend a couple of hour admiring the local women selling the sardines. Such a colorful and amazing show!! The morning was completed with the visits of the Kigoma Train Station (a very important piece of history for Tanzania), the Slave Road surrounded by huge mango’s trees, and the very interesting Livingston Museum, built in the place were Dr Livingstone and Mr. Stanley met.Our journey ended with a comfortable night in Dar where we had the opportunity to have a pleasant dinner with Luice, learning a lot of things on Tanzania and future opportunities of other trips!Overall, our experience has been very positive, knowing that this trip is not for everybody but mostly for experienced travelers. Visiting the less touristic part of Tanzania, can create some discomfort but the constant assistant of Luice via wupp helped to solve all the issues and the reward is fantastic: we will keep in our heart the beautiful images of people, nature and landscapes for the rest of our lives!!!

Great safari, brilliant tour company fab guide!
We had a superb holiday of a lifetime with great care and patience through the booking process (I'm quite particular!) and a superb experience right from arrival at the airport. Our guide Zebbie cared for our every need and stayed with us throughout, his spotting skills were excellent and we saw things other tours were driving past!
This was a magical 6 day safari followed by 6 nights in Zanzibar organised and executed to perfection - thank you all!

Serengeti Smile exceeded all expectations
Wow!!! What can I say about Serengeti Smile?!! Initial communication with Jeremiah from the office was very good. He was able to answer our many, many questions and sorted our whole trip for us. From the moment our guide, Libe collected us from our hotel in Arusha, the service was excellent! He gave us both a very friendly welcome and took time to go through the itinerary for the 5 days safari to come. The safari experience blew us away. I know not everyone can experience every animal the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater and the Tarangire national park has to offer but we saw more than we ever expected, thanks to Libe's expert knowledge, keen eyes and a little luck too. Elephants, lions, giraffes, zebra, cheetah, leopard, wildebeast, buffalo, hippos...to name just a few! Thanks again to Libe's knowledge and patience we were able to witness The Great Migration...twice! This sight alone was worth the trip!
Thank you Serengeti Smile and thank you to Libe, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

Amazing
Our safari to Masai Mara with Mr. Ali from Axis Africa Safari was absolutely amazing! He is a fantastic driver and guide—very experienced, respectful, and always made us feel safe and relaxed throughout the trip.
Mr. Ali has a great eye for spotting wildlife and made sure we didn’t miss any of the Big Five. He was also very informative, sharing fascinating insights about the animals and the Masai culture, which made the journey even more enriching.
What we appreciated most was his kindness, patience, and sense of humour—it truly felt like we were travelling with a friend. Everything was well-organized and smooth from the start.
We couldn’t have asked for a better driver and guide. Thank you, Mr. Ali, for giving us unforgettable memories in Masai Mara!
