Attentive tour operator
We had a great experience with this company from start to finish. They were very attentive and provided all the information we needed clearly and promptly. Everything included in our contract, including internal flights, hotels and park arrangements, was delivered as agreed, and we had no problems at all. Jackson also checked in with us during the safari to make sure everything was going well, which was a lovely touch.
The safari itself was amazing, and we were incredibly lucky with both the wildlife and our guide, John! He is very experienced and has an excellent eye for spotting animals, even from a distance. He also understands their movements very well and always tried to position the vehicle in the best possible place for photos and viewing.
John was also a careful and attentive driver, especially during the longer journeys. He was friendly, patient and attentive, explaining the places we passed and always checking that we were comfortable and enjoying the experience.
Our vehicle had no problems at all, which was particularly reassuring as we saw several other safari vehicles breaking down along the way.
We would definitely recommend this company and, especially, John as a guide. We had an unforgettable safari experience!

Fantastic, professional, reliable, and an unforgettable safari experience from start to finish.
We had an amazing experience with Jambo Masai Tours. From the beginning, communication was excellent, and everything was very well organized. The team was professional, friendly, reliable, and always willing to help. Our safari was truly unforgettable, and our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience even more special. We felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Excellent service and great value for money. I highly recommend Jambo Masai Tours to anyone looking for an incredible safari experience in Tanzania!

Emmanuel was the perfect guide and we could not have asked for a better person to join us!
Get Together Adventures gave us the trip of a lifetime, and I don’t say that lightly — this was our honeymoon, and they made every single day of it effortless.
Start with the wildlife. We saw all of the Big Five: leopards, lions, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo. Then hyenas, gazelles, and more species than I can list here. The highlight was an aardwolf, which almost nobody gets to see — our guide Emmanuel spotted it and knew immediately what we were looking at.
Emmanuel is the reason this trip was what it was. His knowledge is genuinely extraordinary: animal behavior, birds, ecology, culture, history. He read the bush better than we thought possible and always seemed to know exactly where to be and when. Beyond that, he’s warm, funny, and endlessly patient. We could not have asked for a better guide.
The logistics were flawless from the moment we landed. Airport transfers, every game drive, every lodge from Lake Duluti onward — all seamless, all on time, with zero stress on our end. That’s not easy to pull off over two weeks in Tanzania, and they made it look easy.
We would do this again in a heartbeat. If you’re considering a safari, book with Get Together Adventures and ask for Emmanuel.

Good and Not Good
THE GOOD: The trip was well organized, booking was smooth, and communication with the salesperson was excellent. The vehicle was in good condition, and the hotel/camp was comfortable. Overall, it felt like good value for the money.
NOT SO GOOD: Unfortunately, our guide fell short. While he met the bare minimum requirements, he was completely unengaging and unfriendly. This was not our first safari, so we weren't expecting a National Geographic-level expert, but he offered no proactive information or context, giving only brief, one-sentence answers. Even trying to figure out where we were driving next felt like a struggle. Language was not an issue, as his English was fine.
OVERALL: Because a guide makes or breaks a safari experience, I cannot recommend Kentau Safari based on this trip.

Best game drive operator for your first safari experience
KelvinMimi was our driver and guide on our 7-day safari. Within minutes of meeting him, I could tell he was an excellent driver who instilled a sense of safety and reliability behind the wheel—something that is important in Kenya. After the first day, I saw the passion he has for wildlife and how he shares that enthusiasm with his passengers. He was always looking for the best viewing angle and the perfect shot, making the most of every last minute to spot even more animals. On top of all that, he has a great sense of humor.
If I go on safari in Kenya again, it will undoubtedly be with Kelvin Mimi.

Everything was Perfect under every point of view. This Journey will remain in my heart!
Everything was perfect, just as the agency described before departure. The lodges were as magnificent as I expected, and at some you could even stay among the animals roaming freely around the rooms. But the greatest credit goes above all to the guide, Mimi Kelvin, who made this experience unique! A driver who flies across the tracks as if he invented them himself, capable of sniffing out animals even before they appear and ready to turn every request of yours into the perfect unexpected detour. Thanks to him, we saw all the Big Five and were able to capture incredible scenes that I will remember forever!! Thank you

Fantastic experience in Kenya with Axis Africa Safaris!
Our safari with Axis Africa Safaris was simply flawless and unforgettable. The organization was excellent, but what made the trip truly special was our guide, Mimi Kelvin. With great expertise, patience, and passion for nature, Mimi allowed us to spot so many animals and fully enjoy every single moment. I highly recommend this agency, and especially the guide Mimi Kelvin, to anyone looking to go on a safari in Kenya!

Wonderful experience!
We went for a 6 days Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. It was a fantastic experience and even better than I imagined. It was a long way between the 3 sites, another time we would rather do Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru alone to avoid the long rides. We got to see so much of Africa’s fauna. John Mwangi Was our guide, he was very friendly, service minded and told us many interesting things along the way, always calm and patient. The car was clean.

Very professional organization and a top experience
We went on a 6 days safari to Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Amboseli. It was a wonderful experience, though next time I would choose only to do Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru due to the very long transport to Amboseli.
The first 4 days we spent with the tour guide John Mwangi and he is an excellent guide, very friendly, serviceminded and knowledgeable. We had a great time with him and learned a lot about the wildlife.
We had a very contact with Axis before and after the booking. All questions were with in a rapid and professional way.

Very efficient communication and quick response.
We had a great time during our safari with Suricata safari, especially our guide Damian was amazing during our tour. We got to see everything that we wanted. Damian was respectful of the wildlife which was nice. We had an amazing time and the team. I’m glad we chose Suricata for our trip.
