Amazing 6 day Safari tour with outstanding guiding and service
The Safari was great! We chose a mid-range budget 6 day tour and got a private tour for our family with excellent value for the price.
Thanks to Issa, organization and communication was perfect before and during our stay and flexible to adapt to our needs.
All accomodations were well selected, and we especially loved the two beautiful lodges in Karatu and the tented camp in the heart of Serengeti.
Our experienced Safari guide Deo was very pleasant and always helpful, with impressive knowledge and passion for the protection of wildlife and nature.

It was an incredible life experience unlike anything I have ever felt before.
I recently joined a group of seven friends for my very first trip to Kenya - and to Africa. Honestly, this is a trip I probably wouldn’t have been able to plan on my own (though I’d always wanted to go) without the help of my friend, who led the preparations, and Esther’s incredible team.
I wasn’t involved in planning, so before the trip I did some quick research online. I saw safari packages ranging anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000 and was initially confused about why our trip seemed on the higher end ($4000+ for a 7-day/6-night trip). I quickly learned that the difference was largely due to the quality of accommodations - and after staying at our first hotel, The Cliff, I immediately thought, this is so worth it! That sentiment only grew stronger with each stop on our itinerary.
One night over dinner, we even did a rough calculation: if we had booked just the hotels ourselves, the total would have already exceeded the entire package price we paid - and that’s not even counting park entry fees, a private vehicle, or our amazing guide.
Another thing that really stood out: I’d read horror stories online about safari trips where travelers had their accommodations changed or canceled at the last minute. That never happened to us. Esther clearly has an incredible network and strong relationships with the top lodges in Kenya. Despite visiting during peak season in August, she and her team secured us rooms at some of the most stunning luxury camps - everything was seamless from start to finish.
I cannot say enough good things about this tour. Several of my colleagues have already asked me for Esther’s contact info, and I’ve been recommending her to everyone I know. If you’re looking for peace of mind, guaranteed high-quality accommodations, and a truly unforgettable safari experience with a knowledgeable and caring guide (Robin was amazing), this is the team to book with!

Your Destination Expert for South Africa
Our family adventure in South Africa and Mozambique was a perfectly organized trip all around. Liska organized great accommodations and excursions for us and was available at all times before and during the trip. It was wonderful that we even met in person. We felt safe and secure with four children at all times and are taking home wonderful memories and experiences. Thank you so much, Liska, for your wonderful support!

Marc was perfekt, he told us allot of interesting stuff along the way and answered all our questions
We got picked up at our hotel and collected one other passenger at another hotel. Then we got driven to the Lion park. Once there our Guide gave us a quick overview over the facilities (Toilets, Store, Gift shop, etc.) and where our Safari would start. Then we could explore the area for a while and soon we met at the starting point. We boarded the safari bus and our guide told us he would pick us up again at the same spot once were finished. The safari was wonderful and our Ranger told us everything we wanted to know about the Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Zebras, Wilderbeasts and all the other animals we saw. In the end we returned and our Guide picked us up again. then we went together to the gift shop and he told us when we would be meeting at the exit. After he drove us back to our Hotels.

He was very knowledgeable of the ins and out of Tanzania and the Serengeti
I had an amazing time with Golden trips. They created an ideal safari itinerary for me (esp Leticia). My guide Gesper was very knowledgeable and knew the Serengeti like the back of his hand. I was able to see so many animals. Highly recommend that you book your African safari with Golden trips!

I recently joined a group of friends to visit Kenya and Africa for the very first time - this time with my mom! It was also her first time visiting Africa, and although it was an incredibly long journey from China, all of us (including my mom) agreed it was absolutely worth the effort.
The entire experience was perfect, and seeing how happy my mom was made it even more special. She told me she never thought she’d have the chance to visit Africa, even though it had always been a dream of hers. Traveling that far and planning such a trip would have been overwhelming for a woman in her 60s who speaks no English - but thanks to Esther and her amazing team, it became possible.
We were fortunate to have a friend lead the preparations with Esther, and our guide, Robin, truly elevated the whole trip. He was attentive, patient, and so thoughtful - always driving carefully, making sure we had everything we needed, even bringing warm water for my mom. Robin’s expertise in spotting wildlife was unbelievable. He could spot a spotted hyena carrying a gazelle carcass from nearly 2 kilometers away! Without his keen eyes, we would have missed so many incredible sightings.
Weather changes added complexity to our safari, but Robin handled everything flawlessly. When it rained, he instinctively adjusted routes and plans in real time, leading us to where the animals had moved. His skill and adaptability made the trip unforgettable.
I’m so deeply grateful to Esther for organizing such a seamless trip and to Robin for guiding us through Kenya with care and expertise. This experience was especially meaningful because I got to share it with my mom. She is now one of the very few people from China who have had the chance to explore Africa - and I know this journey will remain one of her most treasured memories.

With Axis Africa safari we had smooth, wonderful and hassle free experience right from start to end.
We had an unforgettable four-day trip to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru. Our guide, Ali, was highly knowledgeable and demonstrated great expertise in locating the animals and explaining their behavior.
It was an adventurous and informative experience which we will never forget.
