Smooth, efficient, and friendly
Very good experience with Morning Star. Joy helped answer lots of questions and tweaked our itinerary multiple times patiently before we finally decided on doing a mix of Naivasha, Amboseli, and Masai Mara over 7 days. We had John as our driver and tour guide for the entire trip, and he was amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. John understood our preferences quickly and made suggestions and tweaks to cater to our needs. We got lucky with tons and tons of animal viewings and behaviors (wildebeest chasing away Cheetahs for e.g.!) and John also went out of his way to help and try to find rare animal sightings. Though we couldn't see the rare Rhino, it was amazing to see John go out of his way and put in almost 10 hours of driving trying to find this elusive creature! All in all a terrific trip!
T-Man was the best!
T-Man did a phenomenal job- his expertise, passion, and humor made the pilanesberg tour a fun, magnificent, and unforgettable experience. He is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had!
Amazing!
Tshiamo drove us around and shared amazing facts about the animals we saw, the history of the park, and South Africa in general. Highly recommend the tour but moreover request Tshiamo if you can because he will make it even better!

Fun
Tman was our tour operator and made the safari very enjoyable. He was knowledgeable and fun. He made sure we saw many animals, including the big 5. I also appreciate the many bathroom breaks and the delicious lunch. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Excellent safari, I would highly recommend.
Our 8 day safari was brilliant, we had 2 days in maasai mara with our guide Joseph who was really great and had very good knowledge of the animals. We then had 6 days with Moses in maasai mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli. Moses was a fantastic guide, had an excellent knowledge of all the animals and was very funny. Moses really made our safari special and is the best guide I have had out of the 6 safaris I have ever done, big thanks to him. Couldn't recommend this more, request Moses as a guide if you can.

Knowledge and very kind
Dan the man. Absolutely beautiful experience thanks to the ambition of him. Of course credit is due to the wonderful plains of Masai Mara, but Dan worked his hardest to make it possible to see the big five. We ended up getting lucky and seeing them along with hyenas thanks to Dan’s determination to find them ! He was extremely knowledgeable in knowing where the dens were, where certain lions regularly visited and we were rewarded accordingly. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this and his work to anyone else considering. Worth every sent!

Excellent, knowledgeable, and responsive tour operator
Godian and his team are incredibly knowledgeable, and responsive when planning a safari suited to your individual needs.
We had the pleasure of spending the week with our guide, Pius. His knowledge of the animal habitats and behaviors, park ecosystems, and history and cultures of the area were remarkable, and made our trip exceptional. We saw everything we could have imagined! Pius made us feel very safe, and well taken care of, and was simply delightful to spend the week with.
We highly recommend Serengeti Smile, and can’t wait to return again someday.

A Birthday Safari I Will Never Forget
I booked a 4-day safari trip with Axis Africa Safaris, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
From the very beginning, the booking process was smooth and stress-free, even though I was arranging everything from abroad. A special thank you to Lucy, who was incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional throughout. Meeting her and the rest of the team in person was a pleasure.
The safari itself was absolutely incredible! A huge thank you to our driver and guide, Dickson, who made the experience unforgettable. His positive energy, enthusiasm, and dedication ensured that everything ran perfectly. He was always available to help, answer questions, and make sure I was having the best possible time.
Dickson even organized a wonderful birthday surprise for me at the camp, which made the trip even more special. As a guide, he was outstanding very knowledgeable about the animals and always ready to share stories and insights.
If you have the opportunity to go on safari with Dickson, you’re in excellent hands. Just relax and enjoy the experience he’ll take great care of everything.
I highly recommend both Axis Africa Safaris and Dickson. The agency is extremely responsive, professional, and helpful whenever you need assistance or have questions.
Thank you to the entire team for such an amazing experience. I will definitely be back! ❤️🦁🐘🌍

There are so many people doing different tours. It’s a bit confusing in the beginning but the host of the accommodation is helpful to inform us.
