Good communication, well priced, experienced
What an amazing and exhilarating experience!
From communicating with Tabitha via WhatsApp to leaving our driver Peter at the airport; my bucket list safari dreams were accomplished!
It was lovely to meet Tabitha and the all female head office in Nairobi. From then we met our amazing driver Peter who had so much knowledge and experience! He had a great sense of humour and was so accommodating too. We got so lucky and saw 4/5 of the big 5! This was due to Peters diligence and passion for the job. I loved our accommodations and I would recommend the upgrade to midrange for a comfortable stay as the days can be early and long. Amazing value for money!
I hope to return to Africa in the near future and I’d definitely use Axis again for their Tanzania tours!

Organised, competitive prices, and clearly very experienced.
Gosh… I’m not sure where to start.
This was the first safari that I’ve been on and I am so glad that I chose Axis safaris. From the start, they were clearly the most competitive when it came to prices for a 6 day safari - which was further complemented by their excellent communication, recommendations, and how they can advise/adapt to your needs as well.
They definitely make sure you’re looked after before your trip, when you arrive, and during the duration of your time on the safari or in Kenya! Big shout out to Tabitha who always answered our questions and delivered an unforgettable experience for my wife and I’s first anniversary.
I could write on and on but I’ll try to summarise. The 6 day safari across Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboselli was amazing. Thoroughly loved all 3 places though the visibility at Amboselli of Mount Kilimanjaro was quite limited due to weather but that’s certainly out of the company’s control! I would highly recommend to anyone reading this to book an upgraded stay at all 3 places as it’ll make a big difference in terms of food, showers, and a place to rest after long game drives and travelling.
I’d like to dedicate a special paragraph to our tour guide Peter. We called him Lucky Peter or Passionate Peter because that certainly came across during our whole trip. He always seemed to know the best routes and you can tell he clearly wanted to share his passion and knowledge of animals with the rest of us. We saw unbelievable things such as a Cheetah hunt, lions eating buffalo, lions walking, elephant prides, giraffes and even Craig the famous elephant at Amboselli. It’s quite important to highlight how much a guide can change your experience as many of the groups didn’t see the same things we did after catching up in the hotel restaurants in the evenings. He greatly prides himself in delivering an excellent experience for his group, extremely kind and catering towards our needs, and I’ll genuinely miss him.
Thank you Axis Safaris and Peter. And thank you Kenya!
P.S. Peter is hilarious too

It was a great trip in Kenya. I was surprised and gained something every day.
The company's arrangements were very reasonable, everyone's demands were well met, the driver was also very nice and responsible for us, allowing us to have an unforgettable journey in Kenya. The price was also very reasonable, without any extra charges, the performance of the car was also very good, and accommodation and food were all arranged clearly.

Our Fabulous Safari Adventure with Gilmag
I highly recommend Gilmag if your planning a safari. When I agreed to take my Auntie (80) and her friend (75) on safari I knew that we needed a company that paid attention to details and allowed my older travel companions to set the pace and activities. When I found Gilmag and spoke with Mary, I know this was the right company for our safari. She took the time to explain the details of our trip and was very specific when answering questions. Mary was very easy to work with when making changes to our itinerary and worked to give us the best value in lodging and camps. She stayed within our budget.
Our guide Nickson was an absolute treasure and was very knowledgeable of the national parks we visited (4 in total). He was kind, patient, and knew where to find the Big Five... even the rhinos we saw in Ngorongoro NP. Nickson even went out of his way to find a step when he saw auntie was having difficulty getting out of the safari vehicle. This is the kind of detail that made traveling on safari a little easier and more enjoyable.
We saw a lot of wildlife up close and personal. My favorite was the elephants and I could watch them all day long. There were lions walking alongside our safari vehicle... so close you could reach out and touch them. We saw a pride with 12 cubs and 6 adult females. There were leopards up a tree and cheetahs under a tree. Hippos sunbathing!!! The list goes on and on.....
This was, by far, the best holiday I've had in my life!!! Thank you Mary, Gilbert, and Nickson for making it happen.

Amazing from start to finish!
Innocent was amazing - he organised everything from start to finish. We were staying in Zanzibar and he arranged pick-up from our hotel, transfer to the airport, domestic flights to and from Tanzania, all of our pick-ups, transfers, safari tours, food and accommodation while in Tanzania. It was seamless! Whenever we had questions he answered immediately and was always available to help.
We visited Tarangire national park and our driver was amazing. He knew exactly where to go and we spotted some amazing animals, and so close!
Our accomodation was in a local lodge, where they cooked us a meal and performed traditional dance and gymnastics.
The next morning we were collected and brought for breakfast before driving to Ngorongoro Crater - this was amazing!! Highly recommend. We saw so many animals. We were also lucky enough to see a leopard and a black Rhino, which our guide told us are usually difficult to spot.
All in all the experience was amazing. I would highly recommend!

Amazing experience!!
We booked Gosheni for a custom tour of Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Hassani, our guide, was amazing! He made sure that we're comfortable and safe throughout the trip. He was super knowledgeable about Tanzania and was an expert in finding the animals during our game drive. I totally recommend them!

Amazing Safari Experience from Start to Finish!
From the moment we booked our trip until the very last day, everything was exceptional. The entire itinerary was thoughtfully planned and executed, making the experience smooth and enjoyable throughout.
A big shoutout to our guides, Godfrey and Peter, who truly made the trip memorable. They kept us entertained, shared valuable insights along the way, and ensured we had the best possible safari experience. They were always attentive, making sure we had ample time to observe and enjoy the wildlife without feeling rushed.
Highly recommend this team for anyone looking to have a well-organized and unforgettable safari adventure

Capturing Magic in the Wild: A Safari Adventure to Remember!
We recently had the pleasure of booking a tour with Jocky Tours & Safaris, and my boyfriend and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment we booked, their communication was excellent, ensuring we had all the details we needed. The booking process was seamless, the itinerary was well thought out, and everything was handled with professionalism.
A special shout-out goes to our tour guide, Dennis, whose warmth, kindness, and deep knowledge made the trip truly unforgettable. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable and engaged, answering all our questions with patience and sharing fascinating insights that brought the sights and stories to life.
One of the highlights was when Dennis helped us capture one of the most unforgettable moments of our safari—not just one but two leopards enjoying their meal in the wild. That moment was surreal, and Dennis went above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect view and angle!
We’d especially like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dennis for coordinating and making sure that we receive our delayed luggage as swiftly as possible. It meant a lot to us.
If you’re considering a safari tour in Kenya, don’t hesitate to book with Jocky Tours & Safaris. And if you’re lucky enough to have Dennis leading your group, you’re in for something truly special.
We highly recommend this company for anyone looking for a seamless and enriching African safari experience!

Amazing first safari with Gosheni Safaris!
My husband and I went on our first safari with Gosheni in June 2025. After deliberating for so long whether to go through with it, we are both so glad we did! It's pretty overwhelming planning your first safari and I ultimately chose Gosheni because of their transparency and patience with my many, many questions! Shout out to William from the sales office! Gosheni has a great well maintained land cruiser as the safari vehicle, and we so appreciate the hamper picnic! Great touch.
Our driver and guide is the wonderful Hassani. I still don't understand how, but he knows the serengeti roads like the back of his hand, day or night! He took great care of us and was open to all our requests. We saw 3 leopards in 3 days, and on our last day of safari even saw 4 different groups of lions!

Just Amazing
From the moment I established contact with Amos of Migration Venture Africa, I knew that we were in good hands. The communication with him was easy and timely and answered all our questions clearly.
Our guide Joseph was incredible, he made the trip memorable for all us. He was really fun to have around as his easy going nature gelled well with my 2 teenage kids whose inquisitive minds needed constant answers, I really dont know how he kept us with them. We had so many wonderful wildlife encounters in the four parks we we visited in the 7 days. The safari vehicle was in excellent condition and was comfortable too, aside from the unavoidable back massage in some rough sections of the roads. The lodges and camps were carefully selected resting points that had great food and beautiful comfortable rooms.
The trip was great value for money and I recommend this operator anyone looking for a memorable safari adventure in Tanzania.
