Trip of a lifetime
Brighton provided top tier customer service from the initial inquiry through final goodbyes. The suggestions of activities and places to stay were exactly what we were looking for. Even the third party excursions exceeded our expectations.
The animals were spectacular and the time spent searching ended up being a highlight.
Brighton planned and executed a trip of a lifetime for my family and we are forever grateful. Some of us are already planning a return visit and hope to work with Brighton again!

Safari teamwork and intimate encounters
Julius at Jockey Tours was amazing. He is an incredibly experienced guide - he knew the optimal timing to avoid the rush and knew the best places to seek relaxed, intimate animal encounters away from the crowds of other safari vehicles. When you take the road less taken, you see marvels they others don’t - we saw a baby zebra, still wobbly after being born within the past 15 minutes! We definitely appreciated how the Jockey safari guides worked as a team covering different areas of the park, and would communicate with each other where to find hard to find sightings, like cheetah. Julius was charming, full of stories and interesting behavioral insights to share about myriad of wildlife along the way. The 4-day safari of Maasai Mara never had a dull moment. It was a great value. Yes, the accommodations at Lenchada camp were budget but the beds were pristine, and where else will you have a story about a baboon in your tent? The safari animal encounters were out of this world. Book Jockey tours, ask for Julius. You won’t regret it!

An Unforgettable Adventure in the "Pearl of Africa" – 10/10!
Uganda was, without a doubt, one of the most incredible trips of my lifetime! I went with not so high expectations, but the reality was completely different. Expect true off-road with the car. I absolutely loved every single moment of this trip.
What made it special:
The Wildlife Encounters: Trekking to see the mountain gorillas in Bwindi and the chimpanzees in Kibale was a deeply emotional, bucket-list experience that I will never forget, sitting 1m away from the silverback is something awesome. Trekking near giraffes and zebras is also something irepetable.
Great Landscapes and wildlife: The scenery is incredibly diverse, changing from the powerful Murchison Falls and classic savannas to the stunning, serene crater lakes like Lake Bunyonyi. Great parks, we loved Queen Elizabeth most because here we have seen all the big5 there in less than 2 hours, we were lucky for sure.
Authentic Safaris: Boat cruises on the Kazinga Channel and the Nile offered spectacular views of elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and unique birds without the heavy crowds of other destinations. We have seen hundreds of hippos, spectaculary big and dangerous wild animals.
Food: If you are into trying new food, local food, nothing will harm you there, the taste it is just different with what we were used at home. I have eaten everyday some sort of local food, some of them tasty, some not my kind. However, you always have options for international cuisine, so rest assured.
Accomodation: we stayed in some really nice lodges along the way, very clean everywhere, with trained personell, good options for food and drink. Internet is not everywhere available inside the rooms, we bought some eSim with internet data and the issue was solved. Network covereage I would say it was in 95% along the way.
Security: Perhaps one of the big question marks before travelling. Well nothing went wrong, during the 11 days there we did not feel at any point to be unsafe, quite the contrary.
Bottom line:If you love raw nature, wildlife, and authentic adventure, Uganda is a must-visit. I came home with a full heart and a massive desire to go back. Highly, highly recommended!
And on top of these all was Sam, our guide, that was extremly well prepared, very nice and polite, well educated person. He was able to tell us all kind of stories about the country, kingdoms there, history, animals, birds, etc. Without a doubt he enhanced the quality a lot.
GO! GO! GO!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Highly Recommended!
Our safari was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Kenya, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
A huge thank you to our guide, Alex, who was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. He was always punctual, incredibly friendly, professional, and it was obvious that he has years of experience. His knowledge of the wildlife was exceptional, and he explained everything about the animals, their behaviour, and the different areas we visited in such an interesting and engaging way.
Alex is also an excellent driver. We always felt safe and comfortable, and his experience and dedication made every game drive enjoyable. He was always happy to answer our questions, give helpful advice, and made sure we had the best possible experience every single day.
The biggest highlight was seeing all of the Big Five! We know that’s never guaranteed on a safari, so we really appreciate the effort, patience, and expertise Alex put into making it happen. It was a dream come true and something we’ll never forget.
If you’re considering booking a safari, don’t hesitate. We highly recommend this company, and if you’re lucky enough to have Alex as your guide, you’re in for an incredible experience.
Thank you once again for the amazing memories—we hope to be back one day!
Charles Pili Pili gave us the exclusive Maasai safari experience!
You must request for Charles Pili Pili to be your safari guide/driver if you book with Axis Africa. From the start of our trip to the very end, he was nothing but kind and courteous. But what added to those qualities was his fun and adventurous personality. We believe this and his immense Maasai pride gave us the trip you won’t find with other safari tours. He taught us about the rich Maasai traditions and culture, not to mention he knows the geography of the Maasai Mara like the back of his hand. He made sure we saw as many different animals as possible and gave explanations for each of their different behaviors. We left having made such lasting memories because of the experience Pili Pili gave us. Asante, Asante!!

Friendly, knowledgeable team running a well-organized and flexible tour
We had a really positive experience with Tazama, especially our guide, Martin. We traveled with Tazama to Masai Mara to see the great migration and wildlife of the Mara, and the whole experience well surpassed our expectations. Martin was both fun and incredibly knowledgeable, and his experience showed as his instincts helped us find some truly incredible wildlife viewing and photography opportunities. We appreciated that it was both structured and flexible, so even though there was a plan to make the most of things, we were able to work with Martin to tailor our experience in a way to follow our priorities and preferences.
Amazing Kenya holiday organised by Josero Tours and Safaris
We had a fantastic 18 day trip to Kenya in July 2026, organised by Josero Tours and Safaris and would highly recommend them.
From the start, Henry, our main point of contact at Jesero, was very helpful and easy to deal with. Communication was good throughout the planning stage, and he made some great suggestions which helped us put together an itinerary that suited us perfectly.
We spent 10 nights on safari, visiting Samburu, the Masai Mara and Amboseli, with one-night stops at Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. The choice of mid-range lodges and hotels was excellent, and everything was well organised. The itinerary gave us a great mix of different areas and wildlife experiences without ever feeling too rushed.
A special mention has to go to Robert, our driver and guide. He was excellent throughout the safari and really helped make the trip so memorable. He was particularly good at positioning the vehicle for the best wildlife sightings and photography opportunities, and his knowledge and experience were clear to see. We had some amazing sightings and managed to get some fantastic photographs.
After the safari, Jesero also arranged a wonderful five-night stay in Watamu, which was the perfect way to relax and recover after all the early starts and busy days on safari. It was a great way to finish the holiday.
Overall, we were very happy with the service from Jesero Tours. Everything was well organised, the communication was good, the accommodation choices were excellent for a mid-range safari, and having Robert as our guide was a real bonus.
We had an amazing time in Kenya and would definitely recommend Jesero Tours to anyone looking to organise a safari and beach holiday. Five stars from us!
