Breath-Taking Adventure on Kilimanjaro
I had an unforgettable seven-day trek on Mount Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route. The adventure was truly amazing, with breathtaking landscapes and environments that I had never seen or experienced before. Everything was well organized, and the journey felt safe and enjoyable. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will always remember.
Unforgettable experience
We were very fortunate to have Michael as our guide. He was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, and we learned so much from him throughout our safari. He was also very patient and consistently went above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful experience and captured great photos of the wildlife we encountered.
The lodge we stayed at was beautiful. The camp at Serengeti was sufficient and had everything we needed. Food and service were pretty good. This company gave us great value for our money.
We highly recommend this company for your safari tours, and we especially recommend Michael as your guide. His expertise, dedication, and passion made our trip truly unforgettable.

Unbelievable
The safari and our driver was simply amazing. The organisation was brilliant! Our game driver made our safari the best it could possibly be! We want to come back next year and use the same guide. The food was just ok as I am a fussy eater. Everything else was absolutely phenomenal! Totally recommend in a heartbeat!
Thank you Savanna Adventures!

Best guides in Kenya
We had an amazing experience with Axis Africa Safaris! We spent 3 days in Masai Mara with our guides Sadam and Bo. They were incredible!
Driving in Kenya is not for the faint of heart. Sadam could get us anywhere quickly and safely. He and Bo are so knowledgeable about not just the animals that we are seeing, but the region, the agriculture, the history, everything! They could spot animals just about anywhere and could tell us all about them too.
We got up close and personal with lions, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, a jaguar, a cheetah, elephants. It was mind-blowing to see these majestic animals in the wild.
It seemed like everywhere we went, Sadam knew every other driver, ranger or guide. And we understand why — Sadam and Bo are over-the-top friendly, fun, polite, energetic, and so intuitive to the needs of our group.
This was a once in a lifetime adventure that could not have gone better. Highly, highly recommend Axis and their guides: Sadam, Bo, Amos, Charles, Khalifa, and Kevin.

Breathtaking must see adventure
Wow, just wow! Our experience with Lion King was amazing from beginning to end. The staff was patient and responsive from the beginning, even with flight delays and unexpected world events. They were able to accommodate the dates and logistics with our Kili climb. When Justin picked us up late at night from the airport, his warmth and welcome helped me know we were in the right place.
Our guide Temba was the star of the safari. He was expedient and very knowledgeable. He helped us find all the game we hoped to see, leopards, cheetahs, lions. He was very helpful with my photography goals. Temba also share a lot about the local and Masai cultures that we loved learning about. Truly appreciated what he brought to the trip.
The accommodations were stunning. We camped in luxurious tents in the Serengeti and got to hear the hippos singing at night. We visited a Masai village and ended with a stay at the Escarpment lodge with a breathtaking view of sunset over Lake Manayara. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate, this is the company to book with.

These guys are great!
Had a GREAT time on our tour. Clinton was super accommodating and flexible; really helped us out a lot when we had to postpone the whole trip and even make some quick changes. The lodges were all great, clean, comfy, and offered good food. Our guide, Silvan, answered all of our questions and took us to see all the animals we could see. Highly recommend these guys!

Efficient, flexible, very professional
We are a group of four friends, and we've decided to visit Tanzania in July 2026. The most important part of the journey being a 4-days safari tour across the Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro parks. The current geopolitical situation made the decision-making process rather difficult, especially when coming to select the right tour operator. Finally, we picked Makini Safari Tour, also thanks to a great contact point: Miss Ilham. She understood very well our stringent requirements, in terms of flexibility in down payments as well as regarding the overall tour organisation. She assigned us a very professional driver (given that the roads in the parks are often dirty and full of bunches, a good driver is a must!!), very good accommodations, etc etc. The final result was a marvelous safari journey. We strongly recommend Makini, and Ilham as an interface.

We had a great 6 day safari with Mark as our driver. We were able to customize the trip to our specific needs and we did in fact see the Big 5 within the first 5 days! No unexpected fees besides the tips and we were very glad we went with a local company.

Serengeti Smile - Simply Amazing
Our 6-day safari through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti was truly the trip of a lifetime, and our guide, Champion, made it unforgettable.
From the very first day, Champion was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about the wildlife and the Serengeti. Thanks to his expertise, we experienced breathtaking sightings and were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other incredible moments that exceeded our expectations.
What stood out most was the personal attention Champion gave our group. He always made sure we were in the best position for wildlife viewing and photography, patiently answered every question, and shared fascinating insights about the animals, landscapes, and local ecosystem. His passion, positive spirit, and sense of adventure were contagious and made every game drive exciting.
Champion didn’t just guide us through Tanzania—he created memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.
Serengeti Smile is incredibly fortunate to have a guide like Champion. If you have the opportunity to go on safari with him, consider yourself lucky. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Champion, for an unforgettable adventure and memories we will cherish forever!
Thank you Serengeti Smile. Thank you Champion !
