Friendly, knowledgeable, caring and professional
Epic Horizons Safaris gave us an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime! 🐘 Witnessing Amboseli’s majestic elephants with Kilimanjaro in the background, spotting rhinos in Lake Nakuru, and meeting the last northern white rhinos at Ol Pejeta 🦏🐾 — it was all simply magical. Every detail was flawlessly handled, our guide was exceptional, and we felt truly looked after throughout. An experience we'll cherish forever!

Truly amazing!
We had a fantastic time in Kenya on our 10-day safari!
Hellen’s support was perfect from the planning of the trip to its execution. She was always available and responded very quickly to all questions. Among many other things, she also organized a balloon safari in the Maasai Mara for us.
Nicholas, our guide and driver, was truly amazing! He showed us an incredible number of animals — including the Big Five — and we saw them up close. We also learned a lot about the country and its culture.
The lodges and camps were all very beautiful and wonderfully located.
I have celiac disease which can make traveling difficult. However, Hellen und Nicolas really put my mind at ease by ensuring that all lodges were informed and prepared accordingly and I always had plenty of options to choose from. They even went above and beyond to organize a birthday surprise with a gluten free birthday cake for me.

Amazing company, extremely caring staff and team, professional guides and overall great experience!
We did the 8 day Lemosho Route with Mboni as a couple. We had an amazing team of guides, a cook and 8 incredible porters who took all our equipment and often helped us carry our bags when they saw we were tired. The entire team did everything to make us happy throughout the whole trek and were so friendly and sweet. The food was amazing (thanks to Nixon the chef), the team had a portable toilet that was changed and cleaned several times a day, the experience was so much better than anticipated when imagining the conditions of a trek like this. The team even saw that one of us was a little sick, and they made us ginger and lemon tea from then on until we were better. When it rained they made sure every part of our tent was secure and no water could come in by digging around it and making sure we were warm and dry. We especially want to point out Charles, who was so charming and had an amazing optimistic and friendly personality, came to our tent in the evenings and mornings to provide absolutely anything we needed, including our food, hot drinks, hot water for washing ourselves and filling our drinking water and heat pads. He was a delight and we recommend him as a porter and waiter, along with all the other porters- Boniphace, Tumaini, Bashiri, Erick, Frederick, Ayoub and Freddy.
Our guides Chami and Abu Baker were so professional, caring and did everything to make sure we got to the top of the mountain, and they were genuinely proud of us when we reached the summit. They even checked our oxygen every morning and night and made sure we were feeling OK and healthy at all times. Both of them were so nice to work with and we are very happy we had them as our guides.
The Mboni staff was extremely caring and helpful from the minute we started the process until after we had left Moshi. Jackson and Maryam cared for everything, including our hotel stays the night before and after the trek, helped us even after the trek was over and really went out of their way to make sure we had a positive experience.
All in all we definitely recommend Mboni tours and the amazing team.
Mboni is a great and professional company to choose for your Kilimanjaro trek and we are sure they will do everything they can to make you happy and successful on your climb.

Ben is an exceptional guide—deeply knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife.
An Unforgettable Experience with Axis Safari!
Our recent safari with Axis Safari in the Masai Mara was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamlessly organized, professionally handled, and delivered with genuine warmth and hospitality. This wasn’t just a trip—it was a deeply enriching experience that exceeded every expectation.
A huge part of what made our journey so exceptional was our guide, Ben. He was the heart and soul of our safari. Incredibly knowledgeable, deeply passionate about wildlife, and endlessly patient, Ben had an uncanny ability to track animals and position us perfectly for breathtaking views—often with no other vehicles around. Thanks to him, we witnessed many animals including giraffes, elephants, lions etc.
If you’re looking for a safari that blends adventure, comfort, and authentic connection to nature and culture, Axis Safari is the way to go. And if you’re lucky enough to get Ben as your guide, you’re in for something truly special.
Highly, highly recommend—this was the trip of a lifetime!

Overtourism and disrespect for nature
I join Theo to say that as wildlife conservationist, we wanted to experience our first ever Safari and what better place than the Massai Mara ?
we decided to trust the good reviews this Tour Operator has and booked a 6 days safari through the Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli.
That was a mistake.
I don't know how is it possible that so many people are blindfold about what is going on in Mara but Jocky Tour is definitly part of the problem. I never seen so much unethical behavior to satisfy clients on a game drive. It was not just our guide, it was all of them. Jocky Tour is responsible because it pushes those kind of behavior, to satisfy their clients, to have a cool selfie and when I confronted them about it they had nothing to say anymore. We were next to a lioness with 2 cubs, hiding in bush, the car was at less than 2 METERS away, stressing them, phones ringing, two guides from two different companies talking to each other loudly. It was 50 plus cars in front of a lioness with a kill, she didn't know what to do anymore. 50 plus cars again cercling a scared leopard in a bush to get a photo. Loud engines, people talking loudly, cars trying to get in front of one another for their guests to have a better view, it was pure chaos. When I confronted our guide about it, he told me that he'll try to stay discret and keep a safe distance from the animals. But nontheless, one poor cheetah with 40 plus cars around latter during the day was the nail in the coffin for us. All those tour operators are killing the Mara, one of the last wild jewel of Africa, all that for short term profit and to satisfy clients that think it's a zoo. It changes animal behavior and causing so much damage on the land to have so much vehicules with no regulations!
Studies shows that cheetah to have less cubs in the Mara because of the stress caused by all this. Lionesses loose kills, buffalos can't escape anymore, blocked by army of people and let's not talk about the great migration... There is countless and coutless exemple of thoses abuses.
Also, the program was not followed, as we should have had a full day in the Mara but insead it was cut short ta have the optional visit of a Massai village. Which is also a big joke as it doesn't look authentic at all, it is more of a show for tourists.
PLEASE, if you read this, make sure your tour operator is not some kind of money profit, selfish organisation like Jocky Tour that doesn't think about the environnement and the damage it causes. Make sure they are ethical and that their guides are well trained and aware about animals safety. I understand that everybody doesn't have the money for the private experience which is our case at the moment. But we still left the safari at the end of the first day. Even if we're not getting our money back because we didn't finish it (and I don't mind paying the parc fees), we don't want to be involve and witness something like this EVER again. So save a little more money but make sure you go there to respect the place and enjoyed it for it's true value, to keep it as wild as possible.

Like a magic lamp that turned our Safari dreams into reality
West Wild made our Tanzania Safari truly unforgettable! Communication was smooth, every detail well arranged, and our guide Temba was simply amazing. During our trip, they even surprised us with a cake to celebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival — such a thoughtful touch! We felt like Aladdin, with West Wild as our magic lamp and Temba the genie who made all our Safari wishes come true.

A magical experience with a wonderful team — I’d book it again anytime!
It was a wonderful experience, we had the perfect guide Ombeni Mamuya, full of knowledge.
Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five, and we got along with him really well.
We were also surprised that, in addition to English, he speaks German and French too.
It was a truly unique memory.
The balloon ride was amazing as well!
A big thank-you to Evaline and the whole team who always took such good care of us, they were all such warm-hearted people. I would book with Mountain Warrior again anytime.
