Everything was organized smoothly, and the team was very professional. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable and well-run experience.

Wonderful, comfortable, safe and cozy experience.
I tried to order Pilanesberg through other couple of agencies, but they could not provide door to door service from Pretoria, and their options were very uncomfortable and more expensive. I was advised by the Lithuanian Embassy to contact you. With Nhlalala Travel everything was easy, smooth, nice and without stress from ordering the safari with door to door service to safari experience itself.
Driver Norman was on time, very friendly, caring and helpful. Pilanesberg guide Tabo was also very caring, easy going and at the same time he really put an effort, so we could see a lot and he was also patient, with humour and lots of knowledge about his work and wild animals.
It was my son’s 8th birthday, so Norman, Tabo and others took care of it to make it really special. There was signing in the car and at the restaurant. I am really grateful to those wonderful ladies at the restaurant, who sang so beautifully and arranged ice cream and everything else.
I was worried that the whole Safari experience could be stressful, but, as Norman said, we were in good hands, and we did not experience any stress or problems. I am really grateful.

Reliable, responsive.
Emanuel was very responsive and reliable. We choose mid-range group safari. Accomodations were good, some quite luxurious, some tented in the middle of the Serengeti. We saw every animals. The only annoying thing was we were put together with tourists who booked with other operators so they had different accomodations and we spent a lot of time transporting everyone to and from their own hotels. I would recommend booking a private Safari with Crater.

Absolutely amazing
We had a great safari experience.
Our guide, Martin, was fantastic. He picked us up in front of our hotel, which made everything easy. It was clear that he loves the bush and the animals. He has many years of experience, and we really appreciated his background in anti-rhino poaching. He knew so much, even about the smallest animals, the 'small five'. Martin really wanted to give us the best safari experience, and we are very thankful for that. The food at the restaurant was also amazing. Overall, this tour is great value for money.
We can highly recommend it.

Outstanding Safari Experience with Uwanda Tours in Nyerere National Park
Our safari with Uwanda Tours was nothing short of exceptional. From the very first enquiry, the organisation was seamless and professional, and the price was by far the most competitive we found. Naturally, we wondered whether the lower cost might mean compromises on quality, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. The experience far exceeded our expectations.
Our driver and guide, Emil and Michael, were absolutely brilliant, knowledgeable, passionate, friendly and with eyes like hawks!
Over two days we were treated to incredible sightings: lions, a beautiful leopard resting in a river bed, herds of elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas (during the day), wild dogs, and countless stunning birds. We literally saw everything the park has to offer, the only animal missing was the rhino, which simply isn’t present in Nyerere NP. The team went out of their way to make sure we had the best possible views and photo opportunities.
This was, without exaggeration, one of the most memorable experiences of our lives, two perfect days in the African wilderness that we will treasure forever. Huge thanks to Emil, Michael and the entire Uwanda team. If you’re planning a safari in Nyerere National Park, book with Uwanda, you won’t regret it! Highly, highly recommended.

He was professional, kind, knowledgeable and a really fun character and friend to be around with
Axis safaris was really professional with their detailed explanation and planning. The pricing was really good compared to some other places we checked. They paired us with Yasin who was a true professional. His love for his job and nature really made it memorable for us. As he says safari is a bit of luck but his knowledge and connections gave us the chance to see all the animals we wanted (some rare ones such as cheeta and leopards as well!). His car was comfortable and well cared for and he never tried to opted out of doing extra hours or longer stays. He was alwayd like "take your time". He even waited 20 mins to search a book for the name of a bird our friend asked about. I felt like having a companion and not a guide only and this made it a special journey.

The perfect mix of professionalism and flexibility
This safari has been really amazing!
The first part which concerned the inquiry of information, questions and booking was handled perfectly by Tabitha which has been always responsive, kind and professional. I asked her a lot of question and also changed my plans several time since I was booking for a group of 7 student and she has been very patient and accommodating.
The first day of the safari we have been picked up from our hotel and brought to the office of Axis. From there onwards we have been taken care by Yasin, our driver and guide which has been with us for the whole Safari. As I mentioned in the title Yasin has been the perfect mix of professionalism and flexibility. In fact he always drove very carefully, giving a lot of information and answering all our questions. In the park he was the first to ask to the ranger the permission to get closer to the animals so that we could get the best spots to take pictures. On the other hand he has also been super flexible in accomodating our requests and desires. He accepted to extend our first game drive from 8 hours to 12 hours! We left at 7 and came back at 19:00. This was because he did not want to leave the park before being able to find a male lion and we found three brothers around 18 with perfect light from the sunset. So we could really not have asked for a better service. Also the second game drive in Lake Nakuru has been super nice and even if it was supposed to finish at 17, Yasin extend it till 19:00 so that we could enjoy the sunset from the lake in front of the flamingos. During the drives he also gave us a big speaker to put on music and two binoculars. Moreover he had a book with all the birds of east africa and everytime he was telling us the exact name of the bird that we were seeing so that we could look it up also in the book.
Regarding the accomodations and food they have also been super nice. We chose the cheapest option but the first lodge in Masai Mara was still very comfortable even though it was not luxurious, but that's part of the experience I think. The hotel in Nakuru instead was very elegant with also a swimming pool that we could use and great food.
I could keep writing a lot but then it would be a bit too long of a review so I just conclude by saying that this has been my first safari and he exceeded all my expectations thanks to the organization of Axis and especially to the guide of Yasin.
Highly recommended to everyone especially considering the great ratio quality/price.
Gilbert was fantastic. I wouldn’t want anyone else to be my guide!
This was better than expected! Gilbert made sure to tell us about the history, culture, and we saw every type of animal imaginable in the Serengeti. Would recommend. And I plan on booking again and requesting Gilbert.
