Just awesome!!
To experience The Great Migration has been on my family’s bucket list for many years, and we finally did it this year! We booked our tour online through Wildscope Adventures who are based in Nairobi. Landed in Nairobi airport at 5am Friday, from where we were promptly picked up by Stephen and Loi. We headed straight to our accommodation at Jambo Mara Safari Lodge, which is approximately a 5 hours drive from the airport. Checked in at 2pm, had lunch followed by safari at 4pm. Next day Sat was a full day safari and full of excitement. Sun we checked out at 9am and did a Masai tribe village visit which was such a fantastic experience. Learned so much. From there we proceeded to Nairobi where we had a light dinner along with Loi (our driver and guide) who then dropped up at the airport at 9pm.
Wildscope Adventures were just amazing people, starting from prebooking until the final drop-off at the airport, it was a smooth and seamless experience. They always followed up and checked how is it going, is there anything they could do etc etc, making us always cared for at every turn. The hospitality and warmth they extended to us makes us want to come back and live through the experience again!
Most importantly, our driver and guide Loi was just awesome. The amazing safari drives and the stories he told us about the Masai Mara will live in our memories forever.
Highly recommended tour operator!!

a great safari
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Bobby Camping Safari!
From the very first conversation, Murtaza was very attentive and perfectly adapted to our needs. We chose to go on a 10-day safari in a tent, a unique adventure that allowed us to discover all the major parks of northern Tanzania.
Our guide, Samuel, and our cook were remarkable: attentive, professional, and always at our side to make the trip perfect. The 4x4 was very comfortable, and we were able to take the time to observe the animals in ideal conditions.
The meals were excellent throughout the trip, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
This safari will remain etched in our memories—an extraordinary trip that we will never forget.
A huge thank you to the entire team!

He was very friendly, knowledgeable and clearly a hard worker.
My family and I had a great experience. We were surprised to find that our guide Colin spoke great Spanish! We loved seeing the animals and found the tour very enjoyable thanks to Colin. The organization from Rita was also great. We loved the experience and would do it again.

Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris delivered an unforgettable, well-organized safari experience.
I had an incredible experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. From start to finish, everything was smooth and well-coordinated. The team was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscapes, making the trip not only exciting but also educational.
Seeing so many animals up close—including four of the Big Five—was an absolute highlight, and the way the guides ensured we had the best vantage points made the experience even more special. The trip was well-paced, comfortable, and truly showcased the beauty and diversity of the region.
I would highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure.

Way worse than we expected
I am very disappointed with the service from this company, including the director and tour guides.
Upon our arrival at Kenya International Airport in the morning after a long and exhausting flight from Asia, we were shocked to find that no one was there to pick us up. We waited for hours, anxiously looking for any sign of our transportation. During this time, we attempted to contact George multiple times, but we received no response. It was incredibly frustrating to be left in such a situation, especially after such a long journey. Ultimately, we had no choice but to call a taxi and make our own way to the first hotel. George only reached out to us after we had arrived at the hotel, explaining that his Kenyan partner had made a mistake and forgotten to send someone to pick us up. This lack of communication and organization was unacceptable.
On the following day in Kenya, we encountered further issues. The tour guide did not take us to the destination specified in our itinerary. Instead, we were pressured into participating in walking tours that required us to pay out of pocket, despite our initial refusals. The tour guide insisted that we must join at least one paid program, leaving us feeling coerced and dissatisfied with the experience we had originally signed up for.
Additionally, the lodges where we were accommodated were clearly of a much lower standard than what was promised in our itinerary. The company claimed that the accommodations listed were overbooked, yet they failed to provide us with equivalent options that matched the quality we had expected. The food served at these lodges was unsanitary, and we were suffering from diarrhea, which significantly impacted our trip.
Throughout our experience, there was a constant push to make us pay for additional services that were not part of our original package. Unplanned souvenir shopping stops were added without prior notice, which felt more like a sales tactic than a genuine part of our tour. This relentless focus on upselling not only detracted from our enjoyment but also made us feel undervalued as customers.
Overall, this trip has been far from the enjoyable experience we anticipated. I hope this feedback will be taken seriously to improve the service for future travelers.

On time, special treatment, customized to your needs, amazing price
A once-in-a-lifetime safari with the most caring team!
Our safari with this company was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, Mike was so helpful and responsive—guiding us through the many safari and hotel options and patiently helping us choose what suited our family (traveling with our 1.5-year-old daughter). The entire trip was seamless, from airport pick-up to drop-off. We explored the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar, and our driver Ramadan took such wonderful care of us throughout. What stood out the most was how genuinely caring, professional, and accommodating the team was—they truly went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience!

Amazing trip through Botswana & South Africa, thanks Robert
Amazing trip through Botswana & South Africa. Our individual itinerary for four was put together with great assistance and suggestions from Robert. We stayed at Oddballs Camp in the Okavango, Motswari at Timbavati, The Portswood in Cape Town, Rhino Post in Kruger & Elephant Plains at Sabi Sands. All the accommodation & experiences were fantastic, everything ran like clockwork with seamless transfers & connections. We 100% recommend Robert at Wild Africa Travel.

Trip of a Lifetime!
My son and I recently returned from a 10-day trip to Uganda and it was amazing! It was a trip of a lifetime! Everything went as planned from the time we were picked up at the airport in Entebbe to when we were dropped off to return home.
I researched several tour companies and I'm so glad I decided on Lulu Safaris. Elvis, the owner, was friendly and accomodating during the entire booking process. He answered all my questions and responded to my messages quickly. He even sent me their operating license and certificates with the Uganda Tourism Board when I requested them.
Our guide was Derrick and he was fantasic! He was very friendly and made us feel safe from start to finish. He drove my son and I over 3,000 miles in Uganda and seemed to know everybody. Derrick's driving skills were second to none. He always answered our questions and knew the best spots for observing wildlife. While driving to our next destination, Derrick would stop to get us fresh pinapple or "chicken on a stick" as a treat. He was not only a great guide, but we consider him a friend. Derrick even messaged us after we left to make sure we got home safely and to share some photos.
In summary, this was a "bucket list" trip for me and it was better than I ever imagined. The gorilla trek was definitely the highlight but everything else was terrific also. We saw so many animals and the people of Uganda are very friendly. The accomodations were wonderful and the food was excellent. I highly recommend Lulu Safaris and ask for Derrick to be your guide. You won't be disappointed!

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable, loved nature, and made sure we felt very comfortable.
We absolutely loved our visit to Akagera National Park! Kingfisher Journeys did a fantastic job in putting together a package for our group that allowed us to experience the beauty and diversity of Rwanda. Every communication was prompt and everything was well explained. The accomodations exceeded our expectations. The staff were all amazing! We were treated with the utmost courtesy and respect. Our guide went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of. He taught us so much about the country, its people and culture, as well as the park and the animals. It was a wonderful experience from pickup to dropoff, and we would definitely book again in the future.

Conservation and community focused custom expedition leaders
What a memorable trip through the Eastern Arc Mountains and national parks of Tanzania. Highly recommend for Nungunungu's customization and personal touch. Joe and his team went above and beyond to plan an itinerary based on our interests (birds, hiking, wildlife) and preferred mode of travel (less driving, more time enjoying the birds). Very helpful with planning, including health protocols and dietary needs. Our birding guide Abdul is one of the top individual birders in all of Africa and knew the sites and special species like the back of his hand, and his enthusiasm was contagious. Our driver Kapande was a pleasure to be around. Accommodations were lovely. Too many highlights to list, from waterfalls to mountain farming villages to great wetlands and savannah. Good value too!
