Well organised, excellent team!
We communicated with Abongo throughout the entire booking process for our safari, and he was incredibly responsive, professional and helpful from start to finish. He ensured that every detail was well arranged and that we felt fully supported both before and after our trip.
Abongo connected us with Samwel as our safari guide, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Samwel took exceptional care of us throughout the journey. Whenever we encountered even the smallest issue, he addressed it immediately and ensured everything was handled smoothly.
Our game drives were truly unique compared to other safaris we have experienced, both morning and evening game drive. Samwel was always ahead of schedule, actively communicating on the radio to locate wildlife, bigFive and making special efforts to help us find the animals we were most interested in seeing. His knowledge was impressive he answered all of our questions promptly and shared detailed insights about the wildlife, ecosystem and local culture throughout the safari. He was consistently punctual, always early for meetings and departures and remained flexible with our daily itinerary, adjusting plans based on our preferences and requests.
This was, without question, the most enjoyable safari we have ever experienced. We highly recommend Silver Spark Africa Safaris and Samwel to anyone seeking a professional, well-organized and truly unforgettable African safari adventure.

Professional Efficient Service
As a first time visitor to South Africa, I was unsure who to go to or the standard procedures for booking a safari trip. Knap set up communication on WhatsApp and patiently went through all the steps in detail, before I booked and paid money. They delivered on every aspect of the booking, and MacDonald was an excellent guide. All in all, in my opinion you won’t go wrong with these guys.

Our driver Thomas was fantastic
Thomas picked us up at our hotel and drove us safely over the mountains to our safari camp. He stopped so I could take pictures and was very kind. Great trip !

Willy our driver was responsive and drove well. He even helped us to find macadamia nuts when we told him we were looking to purchase some!

Willy was a steady driver and got us to our destination safely
We got to our destination (from Hoedspruit to Joburg) in ~ 5.5hours, with 2 stops in between that were well spaced. The vehicle was also in good condition, and we were comfortable with the space we had for the long ride (but we were fortunate also that we were the only ones in the 10 seater van).
Willy was friendly, and also accommodated to our request to do a quick stop to get some macadamia nuts when we saw street sellers selling them.
Amazing
The tour was very smooth and exactly what I had hoped for! The driver John was very punctual and helpful during the entire drive!

Fantastic tour, knowledgeable & wonderful driver
Fantastic 3 day Maasai tour - highlight of our trip and something we will remember all our lives. Full credit to the amazing driver Kelvin. I would urge you to specifically ask for him while booking your masaai tour with Axis. He has amazing knowledge and goes above and beyond his work duties.
For sure our safari tour wouldn’t have been this good with someone else.
Also credit to the company’s sales team for promptly answering all queries before the trip.
