Friendly, easy communication and provided us with most experienced amazing guides.
Brenda at Goldfinch is very easy to work with. She made sure we had the best experience ! She customized our tour for a group of nine adults who were all arriving and leaving Tanzania on different dates. Our guides, Lazaro and Sammy were friendly, knowledgeable and experienced- they made us feel very comfortable and safe. Lazaro has almost 30 years of experience being a safari guide and knew all the secret places we could view rare sights. We had a marvelous experience of seeing tens of thousands wildebeest cross the river Mara for almost 22 minutes and even saw the rarest of sights in the wild- cheetah mom with 4 new born cubs! Goldfinch is a great company and I have already recommended it to all my friends- great value for money. All accommodations were super clean, well-organized and with great food, staff, facilities.

Anna was very helpful, answered any and all questions that we had about the trip
The Safari was an amazing experience. Our guide Justin was very knowledgeable and we saw many of the big 5 animals on multiple occasions. We opted for the 3 day group safari: 2 day Serengeti and 1 day ngorongoro and can’t recommend it enough. Thoroughly enjoyable experience

An unforgettable experience with Steve!
This safari experience completely outperformed expectations, from the beauty of the game drives to the hospitality at the lodges. Everything was as smooth as could be once we arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport. A driver shuttled us to our lodging for the night and gave us a detailed overview of what to expect for the next week of travel and game drives. The next day we started our experience with our guide Steve, and it’s hard to imagine a better guide! Steve was incredibly communicative and accommodating, always helping us get checked into our lodges and leaving us with details about what to expect for the next day. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife in each park as well as the local people and areas we passed through in between parks. Talking with Steve on our drives gave us amazing insight into the people and culture of Tanzania which we found incredibly impactful. Steve’s experience and expertise navigating the parks provided us with incredible fortune on our drives, and we were lucky enough to see all of the big five and many other beautiful animals! The hospitality at the lodges was also above and beyond. It was a treat to be able relax comfortably after long days in the parks! This experience has been once in a lifetime, and we’re so thankful for the opportunity to see this lovely part of the world, especially with such an amazing guide!

Impeccable planning and an amazing experience!
Kajie Safaris did an excellent job at organising our 12 day Ugandan Safari. Impeccable organisation, great lodge selection and excellent communication at all times. We had the time of our lives both at the game drives in the Savannah and the ape tracking in the tropical forests.
A special thanks goes to our tour guide Brian. He was not only a standout professional, who made sure all of our trip went smoothly, but also exceptionally warm and welcoming. He made sure we had the best wildlife viewing opportunities on our game drives. As he is a photographer himself, he made sure to get the best angles possible for photography, which was much appreciated. Recommended for photographers/videographers!
Uganda is indeed the Pearl of Africa, and Kajie made sure we had the trip of a lifetime

Fullfilling, save and welcoming Amboseli 3-Day Safari
The Tour Operator Axis Africa Safari was easy to reach (WhatsApp), flexible with our wishes and helpful. For the money we paid we got really good service in the office, on tour and the camp (Manjaro Camp).
Our Safaridriver Andrew Kamau was very experienced and chose the right spots for great photos. He drove savely and always shared interesting stories with us.

Amazing Experience
We had a wonderful safari experience with Ariphine tours, starting in Amboseli with our guide, Ezekiel. He was extremely knowledgeable about the park, wildlife, and different animal species, and made the experience both enjoyable and informative. Very friendly and passionate at what he does, and was very patient and gave us time to take nice pictures.
The transition from Amboseli to Arusha was seamless, and communication throughout the trip was excellent. Even when a few unexpected mishaps came up, the team handled them professionally, kept us informed, and worked quickly to resolve everything.
For the Arusha leg of our safari, Casim was an excellent guide and driver. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable throughout our time on the road.
We also have to give a special mention to Hamis, our chef in Serengeti. Although it was a ‘budget’ Safari trip tour. The meals were delicious, well prepared, and always served fresh, on time and hot. After a long day on safari, having a fresh, hot meal waiting for us was a real highlight.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our safari and were very impressed with the whole tour team.

excellent tour operator with great service and knowledge.
From the first contact we had good contact with Juventus. He reacted very quick and made a good offer for the safari we wanted, in specific the migration. The safari was magnificent, excellent accommodation and an amazing guide. Mister Abdi made our journey unforgettable. He knew the right places, had amazing knowledge and had excellent timing. We saw the migration and all big five. And he is also very kind and he fulfilled our wishes. Thanks also to Juventus who made all extra effort for our 30 th anniversary of marriage for us and our children. Thank you so much for everything!

A dream come true!
We had an excellent experience with Axis. Tabitha was very patient with all my questions and concerns (and there were many!), she always replied promptly and was consistently professional — thank you, Tabitha!
We stayed at Matira Bush Camp, which I found truly excellent: spotlessly clean and elegant without being over the top, run by Mr Joseph with great professionalism and charm. The whole staff was absolutely delightful. From our tent — nicer than a grand hotel — you can watch zebras, wildebeest, elephants, and even hippos in the evening. A dream of a place. We slept beautifully and really enjoyed the experience. Heartfelt thanks to everyone at Matira!!
Kelvin Ngamia was a truly fantastic guide: always in good spirits, helpful, ready to adapt to our requests, very patient, great fun, and happy to explain a bit of everything to us. He has a real gift for reading a group and adapting to its quirks — absolutely recommended! THANK YOU KELVIN!!! We hope to come back soon for another safari with you.
I’d like to give 6 stars — could you please add a sixth star for him?

Great, save and memorable 3-Day-Amboseli-Tour
Axis Africa had a great private tour offer in a 4x4 Landcruiser in the Manjaro Camp.
Our driver Andrew Kamau was very experienced, he chose the best spots for photos and drove saveley.
The Manjaro Camp has a great view to the Kilimanjaro and is very relaxing (bonfire, friendly personal…).
