Amazing!
If you're looking for a safari company that truly goes above and beyond, I can't recommend African Big Cats Safari enough. From the very beginning, they helped us create a custom itinerary that perfectly fit the needs of our group, and throughout the entire trip they made sure we were safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.
What really sets this company apart is their incredible attention to detail. Whether it was accommodating dietary restrictions, keeping our vehicle clean after long game drives, or making sure every part of our experience was seamless, they thought of everything. They even made my son's birthday unforgettable by surprising him with a cake while the staff came out singing and dancing. It was such a heartfelt moment that our family will always remember.
Our guide, Omega, was simply outstanding and deserves the biggest thanks of all. We spent eight amazing days with him, and his dedication never wavered. He was incredibly patient and worked tirelessly to make sure we saw every animal we hoped to see. His driving skills and ability to track wildlife were truly impressive—he was always searching, listening, and positioning us for the best possible sightings. Beyond that, he was a wealth of knowledge, answering every question with ease and sharing fascinating facts and trivia about the animals and their behaviors. His passion, expertise, and years of experience were evident every single day, and he played a huge role in making this the trip of a lifetime.
A special thank you as well to Naomi, who was always prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful with email communication before our trip, and to Emmanuel, who warmly welcomed us at the start and saw us off at the end.
We chose African Big Cats Safari based on a friend's recommendation after they traveled with them the year before, and they absolutely lived up to the praise. During our safari, we saw countless vehicles from many different companies, but after experiencing the level of service we received, we're confident we made the right choice. If you want a company that genuinely cares about your experience and ensures every need is met, look no further.
We will absolutely be recommending African Big Cats Safari to our friends and family for years to come.
Asante sana, Omega and the entire African Big Cats Safari team, for giving our family memories that will last a lifetime!

Masai Mara Safari Dream Finally Comes True
While researching various safari options, Jastro Safaris caught my eye. It sounded great. As a Kenyan (local) tourist, I was looking for a company that not only offers good packages but also provides reliable and professional service. So I first contacted them on the phone call. Then, to be more confident, I went directly to their office to meet the team, discussed the details and after checking everything, I booked a Masai Mara safari. I was impressed by the warm atmosphere, transparency and professional behavior of the office. I had always wanted to do a game drive in Masai Mara and finally, with the help of Jastro Safaris Limited, that dream came true.
The main purpose of a holiday is to be worry-free, because everything is planned as perfectly as possible and there is a mindset to fix it immediately if needed. Choose Jastro Safaris! My Masai Mara trip was exactly that, planned and executed without any hassle. They were incredibly well organized, knowledgeable and responsive throughout the entire process. I first described my ideal trip in a short phone call with Sylus and he planned a perfect trip that exceeded all my expectations.
There are so many positive things to say about them - informative, willing, respectful, responsive, helpful, caring and compassionate, to name a few. I will say it was an incredibly beautiful trip.

Perfect experience with Axis safari and Kelvin
A fantastic experience with Axis Safari and our guide, Kelvin. Everything went exactly according to the pre-planned itinerary. Kelvin was an excellent, very friendly guide who helped us discover a wide variety of animals and learn a great deal about them. A big thank you

5 days with 9 mates across Serengeti, Crater & Tarangire
Organizing a 5-day run for nine of us was bound to be chaotic, but Suricata Safaris handled our group surprisingly well. We split into two cruisers, which turned out great for legroom and capturing camera angles on the move.
Our lead guide Jeremy (along with Alex in the second vehicle) coordinated everything via radio so neither rig missed out. Highlights were definitely the morning in Central Serengeti—where we sat watching two lions near a waterhole before any crowd arrived—and the sheer scale of elephant herds down in Tarangire. The long dusty drives between parks can get exhausting, but Jeremy kept the energy up with good banter and local history. Food at the tented camps was solid, vehicles were clean every morning, and the team was dead punctual. Solid choice if you're traveling in a bigger group.
All round excellent service
Great experience start to finish, full 5 days of adventure guided by a very knowledgeable guide, Libe was helpful, friendly and informative. We were lucky to see everything we wanted thanks to a very skilled guide. Perfect trip

Incredibly helpful.
I had a fantastic experience on this tour and would highly recommend it. Everything was very well organised, and the highlight was, of course, the unforgettable gorilla trekking experience.
Ian was my driver and Frank was my guide. They were both incredibly helpful, professional, and friendly throughout the trip. Ian was always punctual and reliable, making every transfer smooth and stress-free, while Frank was an excellent guide who made sure everything went perfectly.
They went above and beyond to accommodate all my requests and helped me secure a gorilla family with babies, which made the experience even more special. Their kindness, flexibility, and dedication truly made a difference, and I couldn't have asked for a better team. I highly recommend both Ian and Frank!

The perfect tour operator: safe driver, super friendly, great guide with a lot of experience
We are a family of five, two adults and three teenagers. For the first time in our lives we went on a safari trip and we were very happy that we’ve contacted Nick to organize this for us. We visited several parks in Central Kenya first (Ol Pejeta, Buffalo Springs, Mount Kenya). Then we went to the lake district and Maasai Mara. Thereafter we visited Amboseli and Tsavo. To end at Diani beach. All was perfectly organized. Nick is a great guide with a lot of knowledge about the country and all wildlife. He knows the best spots to observe animals. Thanks to him we managed to see the big 5. He is also a safe driver. And most important, he is always happy and friendly and great with kids. Nick, again thanks a lot for this amazing journey through Kenya!!

Great experience at a fair price
We had a great experience with Axis Safari, being from the first time in Kenya. We booked the 4 day tour.
Naivasha lake and the walking safari were great, as well as Maasai Mara. The accommodation at Wild Nest was very good.
The entry to the Maasai Village is 20 USD and after they take you to show the homes, they will try to sell some objects much overpriced. You can negotiate them at the village market which you visit at the end and buy them for a correct price.
Nakuru is also a great place to visit for thr birds or Rhino. For accommodation, El-Dorado was below expectations
We had John Mwangi as a guide, who is a great driver and very knowledgeable, even though he was not so talkative, but he answered all our questions and we found out a lot of things about the Park, the wild animals. John offered some of the best spots for pictures and videos, he is very skilled and we definitely recommend him as a guide.
Thank you, Axis, for this experience.

The operator was very responsive, respectful and helpful.
This was a luxury Safari Tour but very well priced. Ramesa as a company was very easy to work with and did their best to provide excellent service. All the accommodations were superb and we received the best services from them as well. Noteworthy are the quality of the places. They were well equipped, very clean, and had awesome views and very close to nature. No "roughing it" experience for us. After a long day of game drives we came back to a very nice relaxing camp and good food.
We've experienced the best a Safari tour at its best most especially what we came for, seeing the great migration. Seeing wild animals in their natural habitat was quite the experience of a lifetime. Our tour guides did their best to provide us with an awesome Safari experience.
