Kenya Done Right, Seamless, Private, and Truly Magical
I’ve grown up watching National Geographic, Animal Planet, and Discovery, and visiting Africa had always been my biggest dream and right at the top of my bucket list. That dream couldn’t have been executed any better than as a family, with my 10-month-old, my wife, and my in-laws, by Axis Africa.
I went into this trip with no real plan, just a dream. Travelling with a 10-month-old is no joke. From the very first enquiry on WhatsApp to the prompt late-night responses by Tabitha, every concern I had was patiently addressed. A highly customised itinerary was built piece by piece, always keeping the comfort and safety of my child as the top priority.
Not only was Axis Africa incredibly prompt and meticulous in crafting our trip just one week before travel, they also turned out to be the best value for money compared to three other operators we explored, for what I would truly call an all-inclusive, exclusive, private, and safe experience. The premium stays (Curio Hilton, Sand River by Elewana, Serena Sweetwaters, Fairmont Kenya Safari Club) were exceptional, and I haven’t even gotten to the best part yet.
Our guide, Mr. Kevin Apidi.
We have travelled to quite a few places around the world, both self-driven and guided, and all I can say is this, Kenya has to be experienced via a tour operator, and this was hands down the best guided experience we’ve ever had.
Kevin was with us from day one until the very end. His large safari jeep was equipped with a car seat for my baby, and words cannot explain just how perfect he was in every way, extremely professional, exceptionally well-spoken, highly knowledgeable and informative, and most importantly, genuinely kind, accommodating, and sensitive to every situation. By the end of our nine-day trip, he felt like part of our family.
We visited Kenya during the off-season in late November, and honestly, it couldn’t have been better. It felt more exclusive and private. Cut to the chase, Kevin ensured we saw all of the Big Five up close, and even what I would call the Big Nine. My dream unfolded better than I ever imagined. No GPS, no tracking, just 16 years of experience, instinct, and hard work behind the incredible person he is. The entire experience felt nothing short of magical.
We are deeply grateful to Axis Africa for assigning Kevin to us, and to Tabitha for overseeing the entire trip, from our very first conversation to seamless coordination with all the hotels, making the journey completely hassle-free for us, especially while travelling with elders and a baby.
During the trip, we celebrated my wife’s birthday and my son’s 10-monthversary. We couldn’t have chosen a better destination or a better tour operator.
Wishing Axis Africa, Tabitha, and Kevin Apidi continued success and growth.
God bless abundantly.

Well organized and caring for the best expirience.
Everything gone as expected.
We traveled with our guide/driver (Juliasi) all day who knew the area well and we could see all the animals, he was a very nice guy and we were very confortable with him.
There was plenty of water and other drinks in the fridge all the journey.
The food was very good and plentyful, both the takeaway food and the breakfast and dinner at the accommodation.
The accomodations were clean and well equiped.
The general planning was also very good and we could do everything we wanted to do as expected and on time.
A very nice expirience overall.

Beautiful Safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris
The tour was awesome from beginning to end. Our guide, Julius, is a real problem-solver who handled every issue and rescheduled plans whenever needed along the way. He spotted all the animals we were eager to see, and his easy-going personality made the whole trip truly enjoyable.
The company also adapted the tour to our needs and tight schedule, which we really appreciated. We also have the feeling that we saw the key places we wanted to see and that every place we experienced was worth visiting, showing us different sides of Tanzania and enriching the whole experience troughout the journey.
When it comes to food, all the meals provided by the company were delicious and fresh cooked, and the variety was vast. We didn't suffer from food or water poisoning at any point of the trip and this tells us that they put lots of effort onto washing the ingredients and preparing the meals with drinkable and filtered water.
The only aspect that we didn’t like as much—though it’s not necessarily negative—was that we had to hire private guides for activities that were already included in the itinerary. The requirement for these guides was never mentioned beforehand, which meant additional spending on tips that we hadn’t anticipated.
We would definitely repeat the experience and recommend it to other travelers who are eager to embark on a completely different adventure.
