Tom was brilliant and excellent..
I had a wonderful experience on my Maasai Mara trip with Tom as our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made the whole experience truly special. He did an excellent job of helping us spot wildlife and explaining everything along the way. The trip was beautifully organized, and I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout. I highly recommend Tom to anyone visiting the Maasai Mara. It was an unforgettable experience!
Thank you Axis Africa Safari for giving us a good guide..

Wonderful trip with Wakanda and Zepha
My girlfriend and I booked an 8-day safari with Wakanda, and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish
Even before the trip, communication with the team was incredibly efficient and clear. They always replied quickly, gave honest recommendations, and made the planning process very easy
During the safari, our guide Zepha was absolutely excellent. We kept joking that he was like Santa Claus, we would make a wish, and somehow he would find it for us! We managed to see all the animals we had hoped to see
He is also an exceptional driver. During normal transfers, he drives very smoothly and comfortably, but when it came to the Mara River crossings, he suddenly turned into a rally driver, reacting incredibly quickly and always managing to get us into a great position to see the action. We were very grateful to have him as our guide
Overall, the whole experience was a 10/10. We had an amazing trip and would absolutely recommend Wakanda, and especially Zepha, to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania

Safari with Dennis Koome Kithinji
I don't think you can have a great safari without a great guide. Dennis was spectacular! From the very first moment, he zipped around in the jeep to show us as much as possible. He always made sure we had enough time to observe the animals, and he was kind, friendly, attentive, and gave perfect explanations. Not to mention the hours he spent driving every day, he’s a champion! We’re taking home a wonderful life experience, and that’s thanks to him, too!

Exceptional safari experience, made unforgettable by our knowledgeable guide, Kelvin Ngamiya.
We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. From the planning and communication to the actual game drives, everything was handled professionally and reliably.
A very special mention goes to our guide, Kelvin Ngamiya, who made our safari truly memorable. He is extremely knowledgeable, punctual, patient and attentive to every request. What impressed us most was his experience and tactical approach during game drives—he knew where to search, where to wait patiently and when it was time to move to another location.
Thanks to his efforts, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, including both black and white rhinos. Our sightings were incredible: around 22 lions, 2 leopards, a cheetah with a kill, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, and many other animals.
The highlights went even beyond the Big Five. We witnessed wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River, as well as the dramatic sight of crocodiles catching a zebra and a wildebeest during the crossing. These were truly once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Kelvin also provided excellent information throughout the safari about the animals, their behaviour and the ecosystem. This added another dimension to the experience—we weren’t simply seeing wildlife; we were learning and understanding what was happening around us.
The overall service from Axis was dependable, well organized and good value for the experience we received. Our requests were taken seriously, timings were maintained, and we always felt that the team was making an effort to give us the best possible experience.
We came to Kenya with high expectations for the Masai Mara, and Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, together with Kelvin Ngamiya, made the experience even better than we had imagined. We leave Kenya with some extraordinary memories and photographs that we will treasure for years.
Highly recommended, and a special thank you to Kelvin Ngamiya for making our safari such an unforgettable experience.

Friendly, reliable, helpful
The two of us went on a 6-day shared safari organized by Tanzania Pilgrimage. Thanks to the lower number of tourists during the off-season, we shared a jeep with two other travelers from the Travel Africa Safari Agency. Everything went smoothly, and we had a great time.
A special thanks goes to our guide, Julius. He was very friendly and always happy to explain the unique features of the savanna. Despite the dusty and bumpy roads, we felt we were in good hands with him. If we wanted a little more time to observe the animals, it was never a problem, so the experience never felt rushed.
With a bit of luck, we saw the Great Migration, all of the "Big Five" and countless other animals.
On the last day, we drove to Lake Natron. The lake is beautifully situated with a view of Ol Doinyo Lengai. However, the drive was too long and exhausting for a day trip, so it’s not something we would do again.
The highlight was definitely the Serengeti with its endless expanse. We would certainly recommend spending three days there. But we were also constantly amazed during the day trips to Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Professional
This was one of the best experiences of my life. We had Emmanuel Chamboa as our guide (and driver) for a 3-days private safari covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. Emmanuel is a great driver, and he's a really polite and gentle person. He patiently asked all our questions regarding the wildlife we saw, and he has a gift to spot the animals in the park (even those that are harder to find). If I ever have the chance to come back to Tanzania, I will definitively try to have Emmanuel as a guide

Overall, 11/10 experience and a trip of a lifetime ! Very thankful to Ozon for arranging it to perfection.

Absolutely unforgettable Safari experience with Lion King Adventures
Everything about our safari (5 nights / 6 days in Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti) planned, managed and executed by Lion King Adventures was simply perfect.
During the initial planning phase, they provided outstanding support in designing our safari. They offered complete flexibility to customize the itinerary according to our preferences while also providing valuable suggestions and advice that ultimately resulted in a perfect travel plan. Special thanks to Riziki, who assisted us throughout this phase.
Before the trip, everything was handled in a clear, simple and professional manner by the post-booking team, especially Nickson, who always communicated promptly and clearly, giving us great confidence in the excellent organization of the safari.
The safari itself was truly a dream experience.
All the accommodations were exceptional, and the people hosting us were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We always felt at home. The locations, which we already expected to be beautiful, exceeded our expectations by far. The food was also excellent, both at dinner in the lodges and during lunch breaks in the bush. Instead of the usual lunch boxes, we were always served delicious hot meals prepared by the lodges, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
The jeep was beautiful, comfortable and perfectly maintained. I was particularly impressed by its ability to absorb the bumps and roughness of the off-road tracks. The interior was spotless, very clean and all seats were equipped with comfortable cushions that made long game drives much more enjoyable. In addition, hand sanitizer, charging outlets and a refrigerator stocked with plenty of cold water and soft drinks were always available, making every journey extremely comfortable.
Finally, our guide Mkwanda was the true highlight of our safari. Thanks to him, we were able to see all of the Big Five, as well as countless other animals and breathtaking landscapes. From the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable and at ease. We particularly appreciated his approach: highly professional, yet friendly, polite and approachable. He was not only an outstanding guide but also an excellent driver, always able to position the vehicle in exactly the right place for the best wildlife sightings. He was also a great planner, giving us flexibility in organizing our days while providing clear and well-reasoned guidance whenever needed. Thanks to his careful planning, we always reached the lodges before sunset, allowing us time to relax and fully enjoy these beautiful places after a full day of game drives.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Mkwanda and the entire Lion King Adventures team to anyone planning a safari in Northern Tanzania. It was truly one of the best travel experiences of my life.
5/5 – absolutely unforgettable.

Good value for money
Kush is a great guide. We saw all the cats, big 5 and more including two mass migration river crossings in one day. The land rover did breakdown a few times but our guide figured out alternative arrangements right away so that we wouldn't miss much. Jungle roam goes out of their way to make sure you are having an amazing trip. I highly recommend this company especially if you are a wildlife photographer. Kush will deliver on what you want to see and do on your trip.
