Amazing
Our trip to Namibia was absolutely amazing — truly the best trip ever! From the very start, planning with Nicolette was such a pleasure. She is incredibly knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and always responded right away. She made the entire planning process effortless and gave us everything we needed to prepare for our journey.
We were lucky enough to have the most incredible tour guide and driver, Lucky. He was without a doubt the best guide and driver we’ve ever had. Friendly, kind, and attentive, he catered to our every need and made us feel completely at home. Lucky went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable, and I have never experienced a guide like him before.
As a driver, Lucky was exceptional — careful, skilled, and incredibly safe, which is so important in Namibia where distances can be long. I always felt completely secure in his care. He also amazed us with his ability to spot wildlife along the roads; it felt like we had our own private safari without even planning one! His eyes are truly incredible for spotting animals, and it made our journey even more magical.
I definitely recommend this tour company and cannot thank Nicolette and Lucky enough for giving us such a perfect, safe, and unforgettable experience in Namibia.

Great tour!
Dav Safari and our guide Jerry were excellent! From the beginning they maintained great communication. Our accommodations and meals were excellent. Our flight was delayed but they remained flexible and were still able to get everything in. Jerry was great about talking through what to expect each day and allowed us to make changes on the fly. He also actively sought feedback as he said he was always trying to improve. We saw chimpanzees, gorillas, tree climbing lions, and tons of animals on the boat safari. We very much enjoyed our tour. Thanks!

The overall experience was good.
Our safari adventure with Axis Africa was an unforgettable experience. From airport pickup to drop-off at our Nairobi stay, the team ensured a seamless end-to-end journey. Jay, our guide and driver, was great at spotting the Big Five during our thrilling safaris through Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. His passion and energy made the experience thrilling. At Amboseli, our guide Peter Kapino's wisdom and consideration added to the adventure, including spotting the Ugly Five and accommodating special requests. He was thoughtful and patient throughout.
The campsite at Mara offered some real adventure, with its muddy pathways and unpredictable weather, while the other stays were comfortable and welcoming. Overall, Axis Africa delivered a well-organized and memorable safari trip.

Great tour guide, accommodation mismatch
Our driver-tour guide Bariki is above excellence. He is knowledgeable about the habits of animals in the bush, birds as well as plants. As a result, he made our journey a truly memorable experience. Added to that, Bariki's good sense of humour kept us looking forward to each new day.
Gosheni sold us a mid luxury package which had a couple of disappointing hotels- Olkarien Eco Camp and Acacia at Tarangire. Both are part of the Acacia chain, I would steer clear of them. These were not four star but the former was really below three stars. The Olkarien is badly in need of upkeep. However, the staff at both tried their best and we were happy with their efforts. We also stayed at hotels in the Karibu chain, and those were a cut above.
Gosheni needs an operations person, badly. The sales person who sold us the package started ghosting us just before and at the beginning of the trip. That was terrible.
Overall, Gosheni has to try to ensure a more consistent standard, not just good tour guides.

Nice people who did a very excellent job. We had enjoy every minute of the safari tour with our guid
From the beginning of the tour and at the end of the tour the tour manage and her staffs came to see us to make sure we were OK. The tour guide did an excellent job. His eyesight is so good he could spot the animals far away from our jeep and point to us to see. The accommodations are much better than what we originally expected. The food were OK without complaints. Overall it was excellent.

Perfect
We had an excellent experience with Ken as our safari guide in Kenya.
He was incredibly precise and always punctual, which made everything run smoothly.
Ken is friendly, approachable, and always willing to help with any request.
His passion for his work truly shines through in every moment of the trip.
He shared his deep knowledge of wildlife and the land with enthusiasm.
We would highly recommend Ken to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari!

Very authentic and professional
I recently had the pleasure of exploring Uganda's breathtaking landscapes with Great Lions Safaris, and I'm still pinching myself. Our 6-day adventure took us to the majestic Murchison Falls National Park and the enchanting Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
From the moment we arrived, our guide( David) , was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing Uganda's natural beauty. The game drives in Murchison Falls were exhilarating, with incredible sightings of elephants, giraffes, and lions. The boat cruise along the Nile River offered stunning views and a chance to spot hippos and crocodiles.
The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi. Witnessing these gentle giants in their natural habitat was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide's expertise and care ensured our safety and comfort throughout the trek.
Great Lions Safaris exceeded our expectations in every way. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a reliable and experienced tour operator to guide you through Uganda's wilderness, look no further than Great Lions Safaris

SafariBookings, could you add a sixth star for reviews?
We dreamt this family trip for long time.
We had the chance and honour to be guided by James, the owner of Marurumi, quite recent and small safari operator: a sincere and true passion for nature and animals!
Respectful for environment and animals, incredibly competent, always polite and careful to our needs.
Jeep in good conditions and always clean in the morning, power and wifi always available for devices (clearly not a primary need for a safari but very appreciated), water always available.
Always concentrated driving in the kenyan roads, not the easiest ones in the world...
Accomodations accordingly to our mid-range choice. Special mentions to the accomodations at Nakuru and Masai Mara: the proposed ones were quite small and unique for environment and service.
Parks. Difficult to describe. James continously shared with us his know how feeding our curiosity. He was able to allow us to find all our targets and even more: 2 servals in masai mara had been the icing on the cake.
We had the chance to meet several times his collaborators leading other groups: the impression is that James had the capacity to choose them very well.
Competitive prices.
More than satisfied. We will suggest Marurumi to all our friends and we would recommend it to anyone else.
If we will have the chance to get back to Kenya we will definetely have no doubts.
