5/5! Spotted the Big Five in 4 days with the legend, Yasin!
If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, just book with Axis Safari Africa and pray you get Yasin as your guide. My girlfriend and I did the 4-day Maasai Mara and Nakuru trip, and it was easily the highlight of our entire time here.
The whole "game drive" thing really lived up to the name—it felt like a proper adventure. There was so much adrenaline, especially in Nakuru when we were running for a leopard. Yasin knew exactly what we were going for, but didn’t spoil the surprise at all; he just navigated us right to this tree where a leopard was just chilling 50 meters away. Then in the Mara, we did a 15-minute dash to find a lion family and ended up sitting there with 10 cubs. It was just us and one other Axis jeep, so it felt super private and special.
In just 4 days, we checked off the entire Big Five. We saw two leopards, tons of elephants and buffalo, and somehow managed to see 8 rhinos! One black rhino literally walked right in front of our car because Yasin predicted exactly where it was heading and parked us in the perfect spot before it even arrived.
What really set Yasin apart was how intense our days have been. We were always the first ones to leave our campsite in the morning and the last ones to come back in the afternoon. Yasin made us stay out enough to make sure we saw everything. He’s also just a wealth of knowledge—he was constantly pointing out birds and explaining the culture and plants. You can tell he really studies this stuff and knows all the secret spots.
Such a good vibe in the car and an unforgettable experience. It was very pleasant and funny spending 4 days with Yasin and the rest of the group.
Even after the safari, Yasin went out of his way to help us plan the rest of our Kenya trip by calling up and sharing his own contacts with us.
The logistics were also spot on. The tented camp was actually way better than I expected (private bathroom and a comfortable bed), and communication with Axis was super clear.
Seriously, couldn't recommend them enough!

The tour operator was absolutely perfect. The guide, the parks, the food... Good memories.
Our guide/driver was very friendly and knew a lot about the flora, and animals.
We saw the Big Five, it was simply magical!
My best memory is still the crater, the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life.

Knowledgeable safari passionate guide with great 4 wheel driving skills.
I found/discovered Patrick at the at the airport - thought the vehicle was beautiful and I was operating on a tight time schedule with business meetings. Patrick was a professional, from his original quote to his accessibility on WhatsApp and confirmations of booking. Traveling and booking in foreign countries can be difficult to establish trust. Patrick was fantastic and more over his safari knowledge and driving skills were top notch.

An excellent and memorable experience for three generations of our family.
The week we spent at Ku Sungula was the highlight of our three weeks in South Africa. The communication during booking, including organisation of transfers, was efficient and helpful. The accomodation and food were excellent and the staff invariably friendly and helpful. The game drives in the Olifants West Game Reserve were some of the best we've experienced in Africa, with a wide variety of animals, including rhino, elephant, hippo and lion. For added variety our package also included an enjoyable overnight excursion to the Kruger National Park and a day trip along the impressive Panorama Route.

Fantastic Local Adventures with Serengoro Experience
I recently visited Tanzania and had an excellent experience booking with Serengoro Experience Tours for some amazing Arusha-area adventures: Napuru Waterfalls, exploring around Mount Meru, Arusha National Park and time in the vibrant city of Arusha. Our guide, Yusuph, was fantastic and a very pleasant person to be with I must admit. He made the whole trip even better! Knowledgeable, friendly, passionate about sharing Tanzania's nature and culture, and always in good spirits.

A professional and welcoming organization that I highly recommend trusting your vacation with
Every aspect of our engagement with Spirit of Kenya was a positive experience. Communications were clear and questions promptly answered. This a well organized company that we felt confident in committing our vacation to. The professionalism was not at the expense of a welcoming and friendly staff. Our guide was a pleasure to be with. He worked hard to make sure that we had an excellent experience. He was friendly, fun and informative. We stayed with the suggested itinerary and it was a good choice that whetted my appetite for further exploration of Kenya with this company. I am also hopeful to visit Tanzania and would definitely book through the sister company Soul of Tanzania which was highly recommended by people we met on our travels.

Friendly
My experience with Serengeti Smiles was great from the start. The tour representative was very helpful in answering all my questions and responses were quick. Honestly, you just have to pay the deposit and show up, everything else is sorted and there’s nothing else you’ll have to worry about. The safari itself was worth every penny we paid for. Our guide, Champion was very knowledgeable and fun! It felt like we saw every inch of each location we went and didn’t miss out on anything. He is very good is spotting animals and making sure we get the best viewpoint for each animal. I can’t say enough good things about Champion!
