Flexible, understanding and fun
We had an amazing 2-day safari to Mikumi National Park with Asante Bibi Tours & Safaris, and we highly recommend them.
From the very beginning, the experience was excellent, even though we were late with planning and booking. Communication was very fast, and they always answered our questions quickly. The booking process was easy, including secure online payment, and they were very flexible and willing to adjust the safari according to our wishes. We really appreciated that they listened to us and helped create the experience we wanted.
When we arrived by ferry in Dar es Salaam, everything was organised perfectly. We were met and taken care of from the start. Pray was with us throughout the whole journey and made sure everything went smoothly, from the train and car transfers to the safari and return to Dar es Salaam.
The safari itself was unforgettable. We had a private safari vehicle with a knowledgeable guide and driver, giving us plenty of time to enjoy the wildlife. We were lucky to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos and many other animals. Seeing lions and elephants in their natural environment was a truly special experience. We also saw a lot of animals on our way to and from the national park.
Pray was not only professional and helpful, but also very friendly and funny. His good humour and positive attitude made the journey even more enjoyable. We felt safe, relaxed and well looked after the entire time.
The trip included lunch, dinner, accommodation at a comfortable lodge, breakfast, a visit to a Maasai community, time to relax by the pool and lunch before returning to Dar.
A special thank you to Pray, our guides and drivers Abel and Mwanaidi for making this safari such a memorable experience. Their personal attention made a big difference. If you are looking for a reliable safari company with fast communication, flexibility and genuine personal service, we can highly recommend them.

Axis provided me the best budgeted safari and stay
Axis gave me one of the best Masai Mara safari experiences at a great price.
They arranged my stay at Sankale Camp, where the caretakers were incredibly warm and welcoming. They truly made me feel at home throughout my stay.
I was lucky enough to see the Big Five on Day 1 itself! A big thanks to Raymond, our guide, who went above and beyond to give us the best experience and make sure we got the best views of the animals.
I’m really glad I chose Axis. They made my Masai Mara trip truly memorable, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a safari.

Opt for Raymond and Sankale
Choosing a safari company was honestly quite confusing. We spent a lot of time researching and contacting different operators before deciding on Axis Safaris. After the experience, I can confidently say we made the right choice.
We visited Masai Mara during the peak season, so we were a little nervous about the crowds, pricing and whether everything would actually go as promised. But Axis was very professional from the beginning. The communication was clear, the arrangements were smooth, and everything felt trustworthy and well organised.
But the biggest reason our safari was so good was our guide, Raymond.
Raymond was exceptional. He has great leadership and people skills, and you can tell that he genuinely enjoys what he does. He wasn’t just driving us around looking for animals — he understood the Mara, knew where to look and was constantly communicating with other guides. He has good relationships with guides from other companies as well, which was a huge advantage. When there was a good sighting somewhere, information would quickly travel between the guides and Raymond knew how to get us there.
That made a massive difference, especially during peak season. We got some incredible sightings and never felt like we were just following the crowd. Raymond was also extremely patient and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.
Our stay at Sankale was another pleasant surprise. Considering this was a relatively budget-friendly safari, the room was excellent — clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. After spending hours on game drives, having a comfortable place to come back to was definitely appreciated.
For us, we somehow ended up with the perfect combination: a reasonably priced safari with Axis, an amazing guide like Raymond, and a comfortable stay at Sankale. It gave us the experience we wanted without feeling like we had to spend a fortune.
There are obviously many safari operators to choose from, and we did our homework before booking. Based on our experience, Axis Safaris is a company I would happily recommend if you’re looking for something professional, reliable and reasonably priced.
And if you get Raymond as your guide, consider yourself lucky! 😄
Thank you to the Axis team and especially Raymond for making our Masai Mara experience one of the highlights of our Kenya trip. 🦁❤️

An amazing trip with Alphadean tours and safaris!!
It was an incredible 7-day safari packed with wildlife and great discoveries. Alphadean Tours put together a very diverse itinerary for us, with every stop having its own unique feel. The guides and drivers were highly skilled, and everything was completely faithful to the initial description.

Can't believe they are so amazing
I recently joined the 10-day Kenya and Tanzania tour organized by Global Threads Safari, and it was an unforgettable experience. The entire trip was very well organized, and I truly enjoyed every part of the journey.
First of all, I would like to express my appreciation for the team’s excellent communication. Their responses on WhatsApp were always prompt and helpful, which made it easy to solve any questions or unexpected issues during the trip. Their support gave me great peace of mind throughout the safari.
I would also like to give special thanks to our Kenyan driver, Gilbert. He was extremely professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. He always made sure we were comfortable and safe, and his experience helped us enjoy the best possible safari experience. His driving skills and knowledge of the wildlife made the game drives even more exciting and memorable.
In Tanzania, the chef also did an amazing job. He was very thoughtful and paid close attention to our preferences and needs. Every meal was carefully prepared, delicious, and varied, which was especially impressive considering the camping environment. We truly looked forward to every meal.
Overall, this was a wonderful and memorable trip. The professional staff, excellent service, delicious food, and beautiful wildlife experiences made the journey truly special. I highly recommend Global Threads Safari to anyone planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania.

Awesome Safari
July 2026
Wow, it was a lifetime excellent experience with Serengeti Landmark Tours, organised our 7 days midrange exclusive tour of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, & Serengeti, journey starting from Arusha. The sales manager Raymond was very professional and very prompt in replying to our queries even during out of office hours. We were a family group of 11 adults & 3 childrens from UK & Raymond planned our whole trip very well with outstanding service. We all 14 of us really enjoyed the whole safari in our 3 Toyota jeeps. Thanks to our 3 drivers, Herman, Robert & Asenge were knowledgeable & made sure that we had the best experience.
Finally, thanks to everyone for making this safari a memorable excellent experience.

Very amazing and responsible
We had a fantastic safari experience with Boost Safaris. Our guide, James, was extremely friendly, professional, and thoughtful throughout the trip. He always considered what would give us the best experience and made a real effort to help us spot as many animals as possible. We were incredibly lucky and saw almost everything we hoped for, including the Big Five, the Beautiful Five, and the Ugly Five!
The communication before and during the trip was also excellent — they responded very quickly online whenever we had questions. I compared several companies offering similar itineraries, and Boost Safaris was one of the most affordable options, while still providing great service and an amazing overall experience. Really great value for money and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend James and Boost Safaris!

Outstanding Safari
Me and my wife did a 7 days safari, the first week of august, going through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro. It was an amazing experience: our guide, Jesse, was really prepared and great in showing us around. He always knew the best spots and moments. Thanks to him we saw a very large amount of animals and situations, from the Great Migration (saw lot of crossings) to different lions prides or cheeta's families.
The route was perfectly organized, sleeping in the tented camps at night was very beautiful. Also the lunch were always well organized, with rice, beans, chicken, fruit and others.
We really suggest this experience with jesse, he is a very prepared and careful guide.

8 days mid-rang safari experience
We had such an amazing time on our safari and created so many wonderful memories along the way! A huge part of what made the experience so enjoyable was our fantastic driver and guide, Jeff.
Jeff has an excellent eye for spotting animals. He could notice wildlife that we would have completely missed! He also had an incredible sense of timing and knew exactly when to pause, when to wait patiently and when to move on, giving us clear and uninterrupted views of the animals throughout our game drives. His experience and knowledge really made each drive exciting and memorable. I managed to see all BIG 5 (including a rare rhino!) and Ugly 5. Though we were disappointed that the great migration didn’t happen in the end, we will be back again!
What we also appreciated was how Jeff shared insights into Kenyan culture, local life and the way of living here along the journey. It made the trip feel like more than just a safari. We got to better understand and appreciate Kenya and its people as well.
Jeff was friendly, patient and genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. We had plenty of fun, many unforgettable sightings and lots of laughs along the way.
Thank you, Jeff, for making our Kenya safari such a memorable experience! We couldn’t have asked for a better driver and guide. Highly recommended! 🦁🐘🦒🇰🇪❤️

Better than expected
We were stunned to realise we had a private tour. Just the 2 of us and our guide, Charity. We spent 8 days being chauffeured around and taken to some of the beast eateries in the evenings. Charity knew them everywhere we went.
Can't say enough about Charity. She was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Anything we wanted to do, she was more than happy to help arrange. Her recommendations for dining were superb and her local knowledge amazing. We learnt so much from her.
Would definitely recommend Africa Zim to anyone considering Zimbabwe and Botswana and we would absolutely use them for another tour.
