Great Safari experience
We had a wonderful experience of Safari in Masai Mara with Axis.
We did a 3 days private safari and entered 2 days in the park. We were a couple with 2 kids and our guide Nelson Seratoi was both thoughtful and attentive with them.
We saw all the big 5 thanks to our wonderful guide that didn't quite until the kids complete their list of animals plus a few extras we didn't expect like cheetah, serval cat, chackal (and the list goes on and on)
Car (jeep) was great and clean, we could charge our phones in the car and that handy and water was provided.
It was my 6th safari and the best until today. We were very lucky
The staff from the office was also nice.

Wonderfull and well organized
We booked a visit Botswana from Victoria Fall’s in Zimbabwe for a one day trip to Choba natural park with a great drive game. We have been picked up at 07:00 hrs as agreed. And all during our trip to Botswana we saw wild dogs and an elefant. The procedures at the border were very smoothly, we had a Kaza visum with you can travel during the day to Botswana. The drive was great and we saw a lot of animals like elefants (with babies), giraffes, hippo’s, crocodiles…….. around 13:00 hrs we arrived at a central place and had a good lunch. After the lunch we had a great boat trip ( private) and saw the Hippo’s at a fantastic way, 2 mothers with babies but also large males. Also afternoon we saw crocodiles and a great number of buffaloes. At 16:00 hrs we were back at our lunch location and returned to Victoria Fall’s at 17:15 hrs. It was a great day and we enjoyed both trips and everything was arranged well. Thank you

A wonderful day lead by a knowledgeable guide.
We joined a 1-day safari to the Moremi Game Reserve from Maun. We were collected promptly from our hotel for the drive to the Moremi Game Reserve. Although we visited during the ‘wet’ season when the animals are dispersed, we were shown an excellent variety of both fauna and flora. The highlights for us were spotting a cheetah resting under a tree, 3 jackal cubs playing under a bush, a small herd of batchelor elephant bulls bullying a lone hippopotamus bull in a watering hole and African Painted Dogs. We also saw plenty of elephant, giraffe, buffalo, zebra, impala, waterbuck, red lechwe, baboon and numerous wild fowl.
Our guide took great care of us, ensuring all our questions were answered, and more importantly that we were well fed and watered. He was very knowledgeable of the environment and was always willing to broaden the discussion to explain the various interactions between the various animals, plants, etc, bringing the terrain to life. He also had excellent all-terrain driving skills which are necessary for the park roads.
We were returned to our hotel at the scheduled time.
Am area for improvement is eye-care for the guides. Vision is all important in life, and it would be re-assuring to know that the guides have been trained in care of their eyes, both while game-spotting in the harsh African sun and while driving without windscreen protection. I offer this advice having being raised in Africa as a child when the perceived wisdom was not to provide children to ‘toughen-up’ their eyes; needless to say my eyes were damaged and I have already had to have cataract surgery on both eyes.
