Patrick was wonderful, responsive, very experienced, and the ultimate professional tour guide.
Wonderful! Amazing! We booked a private tour with Ramja and had an amazing experience. While our tour was not necessarily the cheapest, it was definitely worth the money. From the beginning communications were clear and responsive. Our Land Cruiser was comfortable. But the best part of the tour was our guide Patrick. He is an experienced guide who worked so hard to make sure we enjoyed our safari, from driving to make sure we had the best spot and photo opportunity, to relentlessly searching for animals to make sure we didn’t miss the big 5 (which we didn’t). He accommodated our requests graciously and made changes considering what was best for our family. I really enjoyed learning about the Kenyan culture from listening to him and he was a wealth of knowledge about the animals. Highly recommended Ramja and especially Patrick!

Excellent top to bottom
I was impressed with super eagles from start to finish. It’s always scary when spending a substantial amount of money for a trip but Daisy at Super eagles was amazing, she helped in every way possible from offering advice, clear communications. I travelled with 2 young children and she was always there to answer any queries.
Out tour guide Bensonwas amazing, he made the trip extra special. Hos knowledge of Masai mara was phenomenal, he was patient and always made sure we were okay along the way.
He would constantly make communication with other drivers to ensure we don’t miss any animals.
He made us feel safe, welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.
If you want to he satisfied with your safari experience i would recommend booking with Supereagles.

Amazing service, couldn’t have asked for a better driver!
When you’re booking a safari tour ride, no matter how many reviews you read it’s all down to the driver!
Bencen, our driver was one of the best. He was super friendly, especially with our children. He made us feel comfortable, working around our timings, making it easy for us to adjust to the timings and get the best experience ever! My boys also grew fond of Bencen and he made them feel very comfortable, he would all of our many questions, and told us many facts about the animals and the country.
Bencen did his best to show us around the Masai Mara camp and took care of us very well. We managed to see all the BIG FIVES, and the Ugly fives, and many more animals.
The company Super Eagles were great and easy to communicate with, making the whole experience excellent!
We would highly recommend booking with the company and asking for Bencen in particular! We did meet other drivers on the Game drives from Super Eagle and they too were all very friendly and welcoming!
Thank you so much for creating the best memories and experience of the Safari!

Ukhozi Tours delivered an exceptional, personalized safari with expert guiding and photography coach
David put together a fantastic itinerary and handled all the planning for our amazing week in Kruger National Park and surrounding areas. He communicated frequently with us from the start and guided our selections to perfectly match our wish list. His guidance was exceptional and went above and beyond anything we could have expected, he offered advice on everything from packing, to safety, to other things to do while in South Africa. David handled all the logistics including vehicle rental, route planning, airport pickup, selecting and arranging lodgings, and provisions for our family of four (2 adults + 2 teens) including one with a severe food allergy. He even personally prepared two fantastic meals for us on the braai!
During the safari he was an extremely informative guide who knew the area and the animals exceptionally well, he kept every drive entertaining with information about various plants, birds and other animals, and national history. We saw all of the Big 5 animals, plus so many more; we even had 2 leopard sightings within an hour of each other!
As a professional photographer he was able to provide excellent guidance and mentoring to a complete beginner. He set up amazing shots and offered advice as well as feedback that were instrumental for building confidence and capturing magical moments.
Ukhozi Tours planned and executed an altogether exceptional and uniquely tailored experience that was more than we could have hoped for and we can’t wait to go again. Beware the bite of the Safari Bug!

Shever was a fantastic guide. Energetic and accommodating.
Kyooma Gorilla Safaris offered a fantastic all inclusive gorilla tracking experience. Our guide Shever was fun, flexible and topped off what was an already incredible experience.
Kyooma Gorilla Safaris and Shever were flexible with our wishes and took us to see markets and have unique local experiences that weren't planned.
The organisation was fantastic and made the golden monkey experience, gorilla experience and border crossings carefree with all of the paperwork handled by Kyooma.
Accommodation was also fantastic and in particular Embarambi lodge in Uganda which I wished we could have spent more time at.
Finally the gorilla experience was unforgettable and Bwindi national park in Uganda would undoubtedly be my pick if I ever do it again due to the proximity to and number of gorillas we were able to see.
Thank you Kyooma!

Phenomenal.
Unforgettable, Seamless Safari Experience – Axis Delivered the Trip of a Lifetime!
We recently returned from an extraordinary safari with Axis, and calling it the "experience of a lifetime" is an understatement. From initial planning to the final game drive, everything was handled with utmost professionalism and care.
Flawless Planning with Jackie
Our coordinator, Jackie, is an absolute pro. She listened closely to our goals and worked magic to design a wonderful, seamless itinerary that fit perfectly within our budget and timeframe. Her communication and attention to detail made the entire planning process completely stress-free.
The Ultimate Guide: Kelvin Njamia
Once on the ground, our guide Kelvin made the trip truly remarkable. His deep knowledge of the landscape, plant life, and animal behavior is incredible, but his expertise goes far beyond tracking wildlife:
Insider Connections: Kelvin's strong professional relationships with other drivers and park staff unlocked special, unique viewing opportunities we otherwise would have missed.
Thoughtful Touches: Every day featured a picturesque picnic lunch set up under a stunning, shaded tree in the wild.
Warm Hospitality: Kind, thoughtful, and bringing a wealth of experience, Kelvin ensured we felt safe, engaged, and well cared for every single day.
If you are considering a safari, book with Axis without hesitation. We will be recommending Jackie, Kelvin, and the whole Axis team to all of our friends and family!

Kyooma Gorilla Safaris provided memories that will last a lifetime!
Our guide Shever really went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable and memorable experience. From day 1 he was super personable, making us laugh and answering all questions we had on local culture. The main highlight of the trip was seeing the gorillas of course, but Shever also saw my admiration of how African women carry their babies, and facilitated a lesson for me to learn also!
We had many laughs together and we were all sad our three days had to come to an end! I wish all the best for Shever and the company.

Simply Exceptional!
I was incredibly fortunate to have Ryan from Untamed Safaris plan my safari trip of a lifetime. Ryan was simply AMAZING, and I honestly don’t believe the experience would have been as wonderful without him.
He took the time to understand the type of traveller I am and planned everything perfectly, from how long I stayed in each place to how the journey was divided. I saw absolutely everything I had hoped for, including the migration and the most incredible up-close animals.
Ryan went above and beyond to ensure every detail aligned with my other commitments and even considered arrangements outside his own bookings so nothing was overlooked. His knowledge, care, and attention to detail (and such patience with my 101 questions!!) made the entire journey truly extraordinary. I will be forever grateful and will carry these memories with me for a lifetime.

Experience of a lifetime
After contacting multiple tour operators, Topy Tours stood out immediately. Jackson, the owner, was remarkably responsive and customized an itinerary aligned with our interests, making the planning process effortless. Jackson personally met us before our safari to ensure we were comfortable with the schedule, and again afterward prior to our departure. This personal touch is what truly makes Topy Tours special.
Our guides, Joseph and Assad, brought over a decade of experience to the trip. Their expertise was evident in their exceptional driving, deep knowledge of the local wildlife, and incredible spotting skills—helping us see everything from the Big Five to a leopard in a tree with its prey, stalking cheetahs in the grass, and hard-to-find foxes. It was awe-inspiring to see so much wildlife in its natural habitat. To top it off, we enjoyed delicious, hot traditional local lunches right on the Serengeti, which further elevated an already exceptional experience. Other tours had box lunches.
If you are looking for an alternative to large companies and want to personalize your experience, Topy Tours is the ideal choice.
