Unforgettable trip
We spent 10 days with Wild Uganda. Our guide, Brian, was incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed and ensuring our stay in Uganda was unforgettable. For example, we didn't see any chimpanzees on our first trek. Brian was the only guide who arranged for us to do it again the next day, at no extra cost, and this time we had the chance to see them. We also wanted to experience the local culture, and he did just that. We had a tailor-made trip and even got to visit a school. It was the best trip of my life, and I highly recommend Wild Uganda to anyone who wants to discover this wonderful country. All I hope is to return someday and that our paths cross again, because I will never forget this amazing experience.

Easy, reliable and great
We booked our 3day safari in Kruger from Cape Town with The Kruger Safari Co. And had the best experience. Everything was well arranged for us to just enjoy nature and all the animals we saw.
It was very handy that they got us the return flights from and to Cape Town and had someone waiting for us at the airport that took us to the lodge, wich was also great. Overall, an amazing and very recommendable experience for everyone.

Amazing, Professional and Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with The Kruger Safari Co. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. The team was, friendly, and made us feel comfortable and well looked after at all times.
We were lucky to see incredible wildlife, and the guide took the time to explain everything and answer all our questions. You can really tell they care about giving guests the best possible experience.
The whole tour was great value for money and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend The Kruger Safari Co. to anyone looking for a reliable and unforgettable safari experience in South Africa.

Smile Travel Agency is the best! Their itineraries are suitable, the prices are great value, and their tour guides are professional and their sales st
I found this travel agency on Safari Booking. Initially, I communicated with them via email. Their sales representative, Lambert, was incredibly attentive, creating a fantastic itinerary for us and even making modifications based on our needs. Communication was very smooth. Our guide, Simon, was extremely professional. In just five days, we saw the five great African landscapes. He was also very considerate; since our English wasn't great, he would explain things to us in different ways. I feel like my English improved significantly during those five days. I plan to bring my children back next year and have him as our guide again. Simon is truly exceptional; throughout the trip, he explained the local history and animal habits to us.

An incredible person going above and beyond with her service
I had an amazing experience with pounds safari. A life changing 4 days in the Maasai Mara and lake Nakuru. Loyce went above and beyond with her service and transfers. Special credit to safari driver Dickson who was full of knowledge and made it his mission for us to see every animal possible, couldn’t recommend it more!!

Fantastic service, guide and experience – everything has been better than I could ever expect.
I got this Safari tour from my daughter, so she made the booking but I know she has felt well taken care of from the start.
Our guide Jack has been the best we could ever wish for. Not only was he a great guide who answered all our questions, and if he wasn’t sure of the answer he checked it up for us. He also was fantastic in finding the best spots for us to make great photos. And in some way he was always in the right place. We saw the big five during our 1,5-day visit in Masai Mara. Besides from that he made us feel safe on the roads. Always alert and never took any risks, but still took us fast from place to place. I felt safe from day one.
One more thing, during our tour my daughter had her birthday. I contacted Monica at the office and she and Jack arranged a surprise for my daughter when we arrived to our camp in Amboseli that very day.
I would really recommend anyone who plan a safari to contact Axis.

The tour operator and the guide were absolutely amazing, I couldn’t have wished for anything else.
Axis (and our contact person Monica) have been super responsive from the very start. I asked for quotas from some different agencies and axis was not the cheapest, but the one who gave me the best feeling when in contact so I went ahead and booked with them and I don’t regret it for a second. We got to spend the full 7 days with the same car and the same guide which was very valuable.
The roads between the locations were sometimes heavy trafficked with trucks, and cars kept passing them, sometimes with small margins, and I felt like our driver was always in full control and super alert on the surroundings - all and all I felt safe throughout the transportation between locations.
We chose the budget accommodation, and they varied a lot in standard for the actual rooms/tents, but what some of them might have lacked in room/tent standard, they definitely compensated for in hospitality and food.
During our tour we met some other travelers who had booked with other agencies for a cheaper price, but they had to move between both cars and guides a couple of times, and their cars were of a lower standard, which is something to keep in mind when booking a safari - with axis they have their own cars and their own guides, which we truly valued.
When it comes to the guide he has been absolutely amazing, I don’t know if it is possible to ask for a specific guide, and I’m sure the others are great too, but I can’t imagine that anyone could be better than Jack. In Maasai Mara it was clear that he has been doing this for a long time, making a lot of connections and whenever someone had spotted a predator, or any other rare animal, we were almost among the first cars on the spot, and were parked in a perfect viewing point. He was also great at anticipating where the animals would move, so we were the first car to switch location to have a great viewing spot once the animals moved on. During the first 1.5 days in Maasai Mara we spotted all of the big five. Since we travelled in February we also got to see a lot of babies.
It is hard to summarize this whole experience in a concise way, but I am so very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend axis. It is great value for the money!

A truly wonderful safari with Laurence – professional, patient and genuinely caring
We were incredibly lucky to have Laurence as one of our guides in the Maasai Mara, and he made our experience just as special.
From the very beginning, Laurence stood out for his calm, professional and reassuring approach. He is extremely patient and never makes you feel rushed – whether you are trying to get the perfect photo, asking questions, or simply enjoying the moment in silence while watching the animals.
His knowledge of wildlife and the park is excellent, and what we really appreciated was the way he explains things in a clear and simple but very interesting way. You can tell he has deep experience in the Mara and a real understanding of animal behaviour, not just where to find them.
Laurence is also a very careful and respectful driver. He clearly puts the wellbeing of the animals first and always positions the vehicle thoughtfully, giving everyone enough time and space to fully enjoy each sighting.
On a personal level, he is extremely nice, gentle and easy to talk to. His patience, kindness and positive attitude created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere throughout the drives. It felt like being guided by someone who truly cares about your experience, not just doing a job.
If you are looking for a guide who is:
highly professional,
genuinely patient,
respectful of nature and guests,
and simply a very nice person to spend your safari with,
Laurence is an excellent choice.
He helped make our Maasai Mara experience smooth, enjoyable and memorable, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a high-quality, stress-free and meaningful safari experience.
