Great safari, bad timing
I want to first say that our guide, Rodger, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and helped us find all the ‘Big 5’ and many other beautiful animals. The accommodations were lovely- the campsite was great to connect with nature, and the hotel was comfortable and clean with tasty meals. The game drives were fantastic.
The reason I gave this safari a 3/5 is not the fault of the guide. On May 18th, the 3rd day of the safari, there were massive protests over gas prices all over Kenya, which turned into rioting, blocking roads and stopping cars. This is not the fault of Axis. The issue was the way the company handled the situation (this does not include Rodger- he was calm under pressure and kept us as safe as possible). Part of the issue here is that Axis combines travelers who are on different tours without clarifying it. There were people on the tour that were only there for 3 days, while others booked for 4 or more. This means that our third day involved bringing the people who had to go back to the office to a drop off point near Nairobi. This is where we got stranded for multiple hours with very little communication or assistance from the office. We spent the whole morning driving, leaving at 6 am, arriving midday and then staying in place. When asked about a refund of some sort for the day that really only included 2 hours of activity, we were told ‘well, day 3 is always a travel day’. The itinerary does not disclose that. They make it look as if there’s multiple activities that happen on day 3. On top of that, guests on our safari had to pay to change flights, without help from the office or clarification on what would happen to help them. Two of the people who were split from the group eventually to go to the airport were hit with a bag of rocks through the window of the car they were put in, leading to them being covered in glass. Again, this isn’t something the company can necessarily control, but the things they can control were handled poorly in my opinion.
Again, this would’ve been a great safari. The issues I had were partially the situation but mostly the office’s handling of it. Rodger was an excellent guide.

Very accommodating and thoughtful
Gift was a great guide and was very friendly and a great and safe driver. Our group had a great time with him, and Dennis who made sure that we had good food wherever we were in our 3 day safari from Arusha to Serengeti to Ngorongoro. I especially loved the campsite in Ngorongoro and would have loved more days there. Gift was a thoughtful guide who made sure that our safari experience was something we will forever remember. He took great pictures with us too! Elizabeth was also very helpful in getting us discounts and deals. Thank you soooo much, Josh Dreamland for the beautiful experiences.

Well organized safari
Everything was well organized. The staff was nice and funny. They do their best to spot many animals. Tremisana was a good lodge. The food was tasty and varied.
Sometimes you have to drop off another group for a different safari, which means you travel a little longer, but it was well arranged so we didn't have to wait unnecessarily long.

Excellent tour
Our tour to the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area was absolutely amazing! Everything was super well organized, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. We saw incredible wildlife, including lions, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, and many other animals in their natural habitat. The landscapes were breathtaking, especially during the safari drives.
Lucas our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we had the best experience. Ngorongoro Crater was stunning, and Serengeti was simply magical. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tanzania. An unforgettable experience!

Incredible experience
I had the incredible opportunity to go on a safari in Tanzania, visiting the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, and it was truly a spectacular and unforgettable experience.
Everything was perfectly organized from the very beginning. The landscapes were breathtaking, with sunsets that looked like something out of a movie. The highlight was definitely the abundance of wildlife we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and many more, all in their natural habitat, making every moment exciting and unique. I would especially like to highlight to our guide Lucas, who were always attentive, friendly, and extremely helpful. His knowledge and passion for wildlife made the experience even more enriching.
Without a doubt, this is a trip I highly recommend. If you’re considering a safari, Tanzania, especially the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, will exceed all your expectations.
