We went on $360 per person experience for a 3D/2N trip to Masai Mara.
A huge shout out to Ms.Monica who handled every tiny query of ours with much patience.Her approach was precisely the reason we went ahead with Axis Africa.
Our stay was super comfortable but with a few issues such as the leaking toilet floor which eventually got sorted out to a certain extent.
The local food was great.
Our driver Saddam was very courteous and respectful.
Our trip to the Masai village was the highlight for our daughter as she loved interacting with the locals.

Sylvia & great guy JOHN (guide) very professional, knowledgeable, lots a patience & great humour
Overlall the trip was good, safari, accomodation, food etc.except the concept of africa you build over years through books, TV, social media etc. seen herds of wild elephants, giraffs etc. you dont see at every safari. lake manyaara was VERY AVERAGE - just saw few animals every 30 mins or so! one giraff in a the bush at a distance. few lone bulls - pachyderms. A better choice would have beeen Tarangire. ngorongoro crater was really good you see varieties of wild life, birds and ungulates. again no herds of elephants! The food at stays and packed food were great. Recommend highly Green Mountain hotel. rhino and leapards very rare.
It's advisable for the company FIRST requests the tourist what their requrements are, instead of offering a standard package, Will never recommend lake manyaara safari. Prabably the best place to see wild life is serengeti.
Just a word about Sylvia the contact at Monkey - excellent communiactor with effective prompt action.
Arusha you except to be hot but it's cool. you need a jumper/sweater- a hot tea/coffee in a themos would have been great during safari.

Best time of the life with Julius, but pre-tour communication from the company can be improved!
We had a blast on this tour with Julius, exploring the mainland Tanzania. He was a funny and informative guide, and very accommodating. We started early and often ended late, and he not only ensured we were comfortable, but also ensured that we were getting the best experience! Thanks to him, we managed to see all the big 5 - and the cheetah hunting as well! Stuff of dreams! Really appreciate you Julius!
Couple of things which I wasn't a fan of:
1. The communication before the trip from the company was very sporadic which made us a bit nervous (there was no proactive comms around our upcoming trip)
2. The daily meals (especially if you are vegan/vegetarian) were very basic, and often without a protein.

Not many lions and I didn’t see any leopard. But the savana is very nice

If the sun and weather helps, this could be great.

Review about Kibale National Park by Rui Silva
The chimps are really great. The forest is not at the same level of Bwindi, but it’s really good. I would like to see snakes in there, but it was not possible.

Pearl of Africa
Amazing, especially the forests, rivers, lakes, chimps and gorillas. Bwindi is unforgetable. Kazinga channel, with so many elephants is wonderful.
Tubale safaris is great!

amazing
The guides for the Mari Triangle and the staff of & beyond resort were fabulous. Their attention to detail and courtesy were the best I have seen in years! Game drives never failed to delight! The variety of animals, watching their behaviors without needing binoculars, was a reminder of the variety of creatures in the world that one hopes will remain safe always. Go, expand your mind and heart in Kenya!
