Very organized and extremely well run while paying attention to all details
My wife and I went on a 10 day safari to Kenya and Tanzania. We initially chose them because of their flexibility on dates. You can literally pick any date that you want to start on and go from there. From picking us up at the airport in Nairobi to dropping us off at our desired hotel in Nairobi and then taking off 2 days later (at our request) on safari for 10 days––everything went without a hitch. All details were taken care of. The places we stayed and the food we ate was all spectacular. We had separate guides/drivers in Kenya and Tanzania and their knowledge was just fabulous. We saw everything that we had hoped to see and more. And then to top it off we were the only couple for our 2 drivers so we had the vehicle to ourselves the entire time.
I cannot sing enough praises for this outfit. A delightful truly special vacation.

Good organization and friendly contact
We had the pleasure of experiencing an overnight stay with two safaris through Endless Summer at the Gwahumbe Game Reserve in early January. It was simply perfect. From the communication with Rhys to the execution and return transport to the ship, everything went flawlessly. We highly recommend Endless Summer.

Best driver and important information
We had a 3 day safari trip to Masai Mara with Khalifa as the driver and Derick as an extra hand. The two of them were very polite, helpfull and did their best to give us a great trip, which they very much did. They went above and beyond in giving us the best experience.
When comparing our experience with the other vehicles we saw on the safari it was pretty clear that Khalifa and Derick were excellent at finding the animals, getting the best angles and definitely getting the closest. Being within 3 meters of a lion, cheetah, giant elephant and more is quite the experience. Khalifas experience in predicting the animals meant that we often got the best spot. And viewing the sun go down while watching a herd of elephants is a thing i will never forget.
Important knowledge of going on safari is, that you should make sure that your vehicle is a proper offroad vehicle, like a Toyota Landcruiser and not a minibus. But also note that some of the vehicles are in disrepair and therefore do not have 4 wheel drive. The vehicle you get determines if you can go off the path and get closer to the animals or have to stay on the path and use your binoculars. (Hint you definitely want to zoom through the plains and get closer to the animals)
However the most important thing to note is, that when it has rained the lesser vehicles get stuck. We had to help out a few times with people who were stuck, which was much preferred to being stuck ourselves. Unfortunately people from other safari agencies did get stuck and had to spend the night in their vehicle inside the park. As you can guess dining and toilet facilities are not the best when there are hungry Lions around.
Fortunately the vehicle from Axis Safari was well maintained and fully functional and Khalifa was a world class offroad driver. The vehicles used for Safari are not equipped with toolkits, winches or other typical rescue gear, and the help can be a long ways away so choosing a good vehicle and driver like with Axis is a very good choice.
I would definitely recommend going with Axis and if possible asking for Khalifa.

Top Notch Experience
Mike Scott is the best guide and operator I have ever been on safari with. I've now been on 5+ trips with him spanning 2+ months and every single one has been unbelievable. His knowledge of the Zim parks is unmatched, and his bush style camping trips make you feel like you're truly on safari. He is extremely communicative, easy to work with, and also happens to be an amazing cook. Khangela Safaris is 10/10, could not more highly reccomend a trip with Mike and his crew.

The best thing of my life
Fantastic experience!! The nature here is wonderful, the people are always very kind and warm everywhere. We booked with Amakula and spent 9 days in Uganda. I don't know why people in Italy think it's a dangerous country, but it's a fantastic country, especially for tourists. We're always treated with kid gloves and they care a lot about their reputation. The food was always very good, there are also many local specialties suitable for vegetarians. The lodges were amazing, all African-style with wooden structures and thatched roofs, but truly beautiful. Our guide, Arafat, besides being a wonderful person, has so many qualities. He fixed our car that had problems, changed the tire, and has detailed knowledge of every place; he knows all of Uganda perfectly.
Simon created a holiday that was perfect for us. We love nature, sports, and animals, but despite this, we saw many older couples and families with young children. He's easily adaptable.
We'll definitely be back.
