An unforgettable Kenya safari experience with excellent support
We had an amazing safari with Ramble Africq Safaris! It was truly an experience of a lifetime. We saw 4 of the Big Five, along with many other incredible animals, making every game drive exciting and memorable.
Everything was very well organized. The itinerary ran on time, everything happened as planned, and the hotels were generally very nice. We had a fantastic time throughout the trip.
The communication before and during the safari was excellent. Brian was always available on WhatsApp and responded very quickly, sometimes even late in the evening. It was very reassuring to know that we could reach him whenever we had questions.
One point of feedback concerns the hotel bookings. Our original quote included four specific hotels, and we decided to proceed with the booking based on that itinerary. However, by the time the booking was processed, three of the four hotels were no longer available, and we had to choose alternative accommodations. While the alternatives were good and we appreciate the effort to find replacements, it was disappointing as we had specifically been looking forward to the original hotels. It would be helpful if hotel availability could be confirmed or reserved before the itinerary is presented as final, or if the possibility of substitutions could be communicated more clearly from the beginning.
Overall, we had a wonderful safari experience and would definitely recommend Ramble Adrica Safaris to anyone planning a Kenya safari. The organization, communication, and overall experience made it a trip we will remember for a lifetime.

MJ Safaris & Adventure provided the amazing, customized experience I was looking for. + I summited.
I went with MJ Safaris for my climb of the Lemosho route on Kilimanjaro and I couldn’t be happier my experience. Jackson and Noela’s communication was excellent, I was comfortable with all the details of my arrangement and all the logistics involved, the gear provided, the information regarding the route, etc.
My guide Dennis was absolutely amazing, keeping my spirits high, answering all my questions and addressing all my concerns, and providing great information about the flora and fauna on Kilimanjaro along the way, without being overbearing or providing TMI. He balanced everything quite well, which reflected his deep mountaineering background and tremendous experience on Kili, having summitted over 60 times in the past. He was polite, professional, down to earth, compassionate, and simply a joy to do this expedition with. I feel very fortunate to have been paired with Dennis.
Christian, my new Rafiki, was awesome around camp, from setting up my private dining tent and portable toilet (which, if you’re still deciding on, GO FOR IT, you do NOT want to be locating public Kili bathrooms in the middle of the night, in high wind, at altitude, on rocky unfamiliar terrain, only to come upon the nastiest toilets (not actually toilets but literally an enclosed, disgusting hole in the ground) you’ll ever encounter in your life. Get the private / tented bathroom!!), to serving all of my delicious meals and condiments, hot tea in my tent upon request, coffee ready and waiting in the morning, etc. The whole crew (including guide Dennis, Christian, and several additional porters) were awesome, I was 100% cared for, supported, and I truly felt like it was a team effort and they were all personally invested in me getting to the summit. You could tell it was a victory for them, me getting to the top, they took pride in it.
If you’re looking for a smaller operator that really cares and supports you in every way, go with MJ Safaris and work with Jackson. Oh, btw , the hotel they put you up at in Moshi, TZ., called the Mariadi, is an absolute gem. Small, well kept, beautifully landscaped, tranquil and clean pool area, delicious breakfast buffet, etc. This was a great hidden benefit I was not expecting as part of this package but looking back I'm very grateful for.
Dennis, Christian and team, thank you all once again. I’ll never forget my time on Kilimanjaro and how comfortable you guys made me feel while climbing a 19,000 + foot mountain.

Incredible
We had the most amazing experience with Plex Africa Safaris on the one-day safari from Zanzibar, and it exceeded all of our expectations.
A huge thank you to our guide, Joseph, who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely determined to give us the best possible experience. He went above and beyond trying to track down lions throughout the day. Although we didn’t manage to spot any in the end, that was simply nature taking its course, and it didn’t take away from the experience at all. We saw so many other incredible animals, and Joseph made every sighting exciting with his knowledge and enthusiasm.
The biggest thank you has to go to Joseph and the entire Plex Africa Safaris team for helping my now fiancé organise the most unforgettable proposal. They put so much care into making it happen, and it was even more special than we could have imagined. Everything was planned perfectly, and they made the whole moment feel relaxed, fun, and truly magical.
If you’re thinking about booking a safari from Zanzibar, we couldn’t recommend Plex Africa Safaris more. Professional, well-organised, and full of people who genuinely care about giving you an unforgettable experience. Thank you again for creating memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime!

BK led us on a fantastic six day camping safari in Botswana, amazing experience!
Five of us on a trip with BK’s outfit through Afrigetaway. Planning the trip was fairly easy. Several options were presented and we chose the best one for us. We communicated with BK via WhatsApp and had everything arranged for us except flights, which we took care of. Began in Maun and ended in Kasane, with a transfer over to Victoria Falls. Good value for the money. Our guide (“LT”) who drove our safari vehicle was fantastic! And our camp cook Emily was so incredible. Great food every day.

Outstanding
Organized by African Ubuntu Safaris, our 3 week trip covering Kruger concession, Victoria Falls, Okavango Delta & Mozambique could not have been better. Amazing animal viewing, great locations, fantastic people and no hitches.

fantastic！
This has been an absolutely wonderful trip. I never imagined I would have such an amazing experience before coming here.
First of all, the staff here are extremely warm, hospitable and patient, always ready to help us resolve any problems we ran into.
Secondly, Uganda boasts stunning natural scenery. We encountered silverback gorillas and visited Queen Elizabeth National Park, where we spotted a wide variety of wildlife including lions, elephants, buffalos, rhinos and crocodiles.
Thirdly, our accommodation was excellent. The resort was lovely and offered us a comfortable place to rest well. Our 4WD safari vehicle was also very clean and tidy.
All in all, every part of this journey was fantastic. I highly recommend everyone to travel to Uganda.

Good tour operator.but not so good driver
The was good until the last day. On the second last day our driver Roger made us aware of protests happening on the following day and gave us a choice of whether or not to go straight back to Nairobi rather than do an early morning game drive. We wanted to go back to Nairobi to avoid the protests but then he adamantly took us to the national park in order to "secure a good review" (his words). We all told him that we didn't feel safe to hang around to do the game drive after which he said we'll go back to Nairobi, but then he lied and still drove us to the park. We were all furious with him.
All in all, although the tour operator and safari were good, best to find out who your driver is in advance to see if it is roger.
Also a side note, Axis may say it's not needed to carry your passport with you (in case you decide to leave it at your hotel for safe keeping), but one of the hotels in Nakuru did request at least a copy of your passport upon check in.
Final side note, we gave our dietary requirements (vegetarian) but for some reason Axis did not relay to the camp in amboselli. Fortunately the camp managed to accommodate us as best as they could.

"The Safari of a Lifetime – Expertly Planned, Perfectly Guided."
Our recent safari in Kenya with Viega Expedition was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The itinerary was expertly tailored to our needs, taking us through the breathtaking Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, where we experienced the true beauty of nature and incredible wildlife.
The accommodation was outstanding, offering a perfect balance of comfortable camps and luxury lodges, each with its own unique charm. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the adventure.
One of the biggest factors in making this safari so special was having an expert driver and guide. Robert's knowledge, instincts and years of experience made all the difference. He knew the parks exceptionally well, anticipated where wildlife would be, and his skill and patience enabled us to see the entire Big Five, along with countless other incredible animals and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
A special thank you also goes to Rodger, whose dedication and professionalism ensured everything ran seamlessly. He maintained regular communication before and throughout our trip, making sure every detail was taken care of and that our safari was truly exceptional.
If you're looking for a personalised, professionally organised safari in Kenya, we cannot recommend Viega Expedition highly enough. They delivered memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.
Gilbert delivered an awesome animal sighting experience, was very personable and entertaining.
Gilbert delivered an awesome animal sighting experience, was very personable and had a lot of good facts about the animals, land, and Masaai people. He was accommodating on where we went and had good instinct on what time and how long to stay in certain places.
Great lunches and night stays included with the Safari.
