Very fulfilling experience
Our guide was Kalifa - a 16 year veteran of safari guiding. I think we may have gotten the best guide in the Maasai Mara park. He made sure we had the best views of the animals and was extremely knowledgeable of where to be and when. Axis Africa Safaris organizes excellent safaris and evidently hires some of the best guides! We would recommend them to friends and would use them again if we visit again in the future.

Expertly Crafted Safari
My safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru National Park, and Naivasha was filled with exciting and memorable experiences. Ibrahim, our guide, was truly amazing—his deep knowledge of birds made the journey even more fascinating. He was also very flexible with the itinerary and kindly included a visit to Hell’s Gate, which was not originally planned.
The tour itself was expertly crafted, with excellent choices of accommodation: Enkorok Mara Camp, Lake Nakuru Lodge, and Naivasha Resort. Everything came together perfectly, making this safari an unforgettable experience.

Touring with Southern African Tours, we had one of the best holidays of our lifetime.
We booked our three-week holiday in South Africa with Southern African Tours on a recommendation, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Our goal was not only to experience the “Big Five” safari but also to gain a deeper understanding of the country and its people. Craig and Bianca delivered far beyond our expectations.
They designed an itinerary that blended wildlife encounters, cultural interactions, and unforgettable adventures. From Kruger National Park to Eswatini that included an elephant interaction, swimming with dolphins in Sodwana Bay and enjoying the relaxed charm of St. Lucia. We hiked the Drakensberg Mountains, explored Cape Town, visited wineries, spotted whales and penguins, and even had a personal encounter with giraffes. Craig and Bianca arranged excellent accommodations and meals that made the trip even more enjoyable.
What truly set this experience apart was their deep knowledge and passion for South Africa. Their insights gave us a far richer appreciation of the people, culture, and history of this remarkable country.
Our three weeks were stress-free, unforgettable, and filled with moments we’ll treasure forever. We recommend Southern African Tours to anyone planning a South African adventure.

Loved the safari by Axis Africa. Our guide Jack made a huge impact on the quality of the safari and viewing of the wildlife. The tour company was very accommodating of our requests.

Matt is respectful, enthusiastic and genuine and his mission is to deliver an unforgettable experience
From the very beginning, planning with Tapestry of Africa was easy and even fun. Matt and his team guided us step by step on what needed to be done ahead of time—everything from visas to packing tips—so we never felt overwhelmed. Every question we had (and there were many!) was answered quickly and thoroughly, which gave us so much peace of mind heading into a big international trip with our family.
Once we arrived, we felt safe and well cared for at every stage. Our drivers, George in Kenya and David in Tanzania, were not only skilled and reliable but also warm and personable—we still talk about them! The logistics were seamless, and we never had to worry about a single detail.
The safari itself was magical: a hot air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara, watching the Great Migration at the Mara River, full-day game drives in the Serengeti spotting everything from lion cubs to rhinos, biking through villages in Mto Wa Mbu, hiking to a waterfall, tasting coffee roasted over an open fire, and even enjoying a surprise birthday celebration for our boys. The mix of tented lodges and one luxury stay gave us a range of experiences, including an unforgettable boma dinner.
What made this trip even more meaningful is knowing that proceeds help fund dental clinics for underserved communities. With Tapestry of Africa, we not only created once-in-a-lifetime memories but also felt part of something bigger. We would absolutely plan another adventure with them.

Fascinating 4 days in Masai Mara, cannot expect more!
It's our first african trip and I did tons of research not to be scammed. Among over 50 travel agency I have contacted, extra miles became our final choice. Why ? first of course is their competitve quote. I picked all hotels in the trip so easily to compare the price between different vendors, extra miles is the only one who gave me detailed cost breakdown (accommodation / transportion / park fees) . But the real important thing which push me to make final decision is Joseph's professionalism and enthusiasmn in communication: He quickly responded all my questions with personalized, extensive suggestions. NOT a chatgpt answer I got from other agents. And he catered to all my requirepemnts like booking the flight directly and even help me to contact the hotels I booked myself. His prompt service didn't drop after we paid the deposit and everything went smoothly all the way to our arrival in Naroibi airport. YOU ARE THE BEST, JOSEPH!
Our driver Simon , performed another good job in Masa mara. He always actively searched for animals for us and patienly answered our questions. It was raining heavily late afternoon everyday during our stay and road was very muddy. Thanks for Simon' excellent driving skills, we didn't get any trouble and saw all the animals we expect to see , including a leopard climing down from the tree with a impala !
I would sincerely suggest everyone who read this review, send them a email to show your interest in east africa , and you definitely won't be disappointed !
