Great tour guide, accommodation mismatch
Our driver-tour guide Bariki is above excellence. He is knowledgeable about the habits of animals in the bush, birds as well as plants. As a result, he made our journey a truly memorable experience. Added to that, Bariki's good sense of humour kept us looking forward to each new day.
Gosheni sold us a mid luxury package which had a couple of disappointing hotels- Olkarien Eco Camp and Acacia at Tarangire. Both are part of the Acacia chain, I would steer clear of them. These were not four star but the former was really below three stars. The Olkarien is badly in need of upkeep. However, the staff at both tried their best and we were happy with their efforts. We also stayed at hotels in the Karibu chain, and those were a cut above.
Gosheni needs an operations person, badly. The sales person who sold us the package started ghosting us just before and at the beginning of the trip. That was terrible.
Overall, Gosheni has to try to ensure a more consistent standard, not just good tour guides.

Best local company to travel to Tanzania, a dream came true
We did a four days safari with our guide Heaven Temba and three days in Zanzíbar.
I checked several local companies for organising the trip and Lion King was one of the best valued
Everything was really well planned, Jovita chose the best places for us to stay.
We were very lucky to have HEAVEN as our guide, he has a deep knowlegde of the animals and parks.
He has also excellent driving skills which made us feel comfortable when travelling.Driving in the parks seems to be very tough but we feel safe with Heaven
We spotted many animals such as lions,hyenas, leopards, cheetah, hippos...
Apart from that Heaven was an easy going, friendly and talkative person, we enjoyed every moment we spent with him, specially my 8 year old daughter Lucía.
We wish we could repeat this wonderful trip in the future.

The overall experience was good.
Our safari adventure with Axis Africa was an unforgettable experience. From airport pickup to drop-off at our Nairobi stay, the team ensured a seamless end-to-end journey. Jay, our guide and driver, was great at spotting the Big Five during our thrilling safaris through Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. His passion and energy made the experience thrilling. At Amboseli, our guide Peter Kapino's wisdom and consideration added to the adventure, including spotting the Ugly Five and accommodating special requests. He was thoughtful and patient throughout.
The campsite at Mara offered some real adventure, with its muddy pathways and unpredictable weather, while the other stays were comfortable and welcoming. Overall, Axis Africa delivered a well-organized and memorable safari trip.

Great tour!
Dav Safari and our guide Jerry were excellent! From the beginning they maintained great communication. Our accommodations and meals were excellent. Our flight was delayed but they remained flexible and were still able to get everything in. Jerry was great about talking through what to expect each day and allowed us to make changes on the fly. He also actively sought feedback as he said he was always trying to improve. We saw chimpanzees, gorillas, tree climbing lions, and tons of animals on the boat safari. We very much enjoyed our tour. Thanks!

Amazing
Our trip to Namibia was absolutely amazing — truly the best trip ever! From the very start, planning with Nicolette was such a pleasure. She is incredibly knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and always responded right away. She made the entire planning process effortless and gave us everything we needed to prepare for our journey.
We were lucky enough to have the most incredible tour guide and driver, Lucky. He was without a doubt the best guide and driver we’ve ever had. Friendly, kind, and attentive, he catered to our every need and made us feel completely at home. Lucky went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable, and I have never experienced a guide like him before.
As a driver, Lucky was exceptional — careful, skilled, and incredibly safe, which is so important in Namibia where distances can be long. I always felt completely secure in his care. He also amazed us with his ability to spot wildlife along the roads; it felt like we had our own private safari without even planning one! His eyes are truly incredible for spotting animals, and it made our journey even more magical.
I definitely recommend this tour company and cannot thank Nicolette and Lucky enough for giving us such a perfect, safe, and unforgettable experience in Namibia.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Alessandra e Simone
Best park we visited without doubt. We encountered a lot of wildlife, all with incredible photo perspectives. The off-road allowed us to find some animals in really natural attitude (a cheetah eating a zebra just the first day) and the park itself is so big it guarantee to not be crowded even if it was the great migration period!

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Alessandra e Simone
Beautiful park, different from others thanks to the lake scenario and the enormous amounts of different birds, we encountered also a full family of rhinos which we can observe without crowd for almost 30 min.

Review about Hell’s Gate National Park by Alessandra e Simone
The park have a good natural scenario and some herbivorous easily visible due to the lack of predators, on the other side the park is small and not so spectacular compared to other parks in Kenya.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Alessandra e Simone
Beautiful park with a lot of wildlife and incredible families of elephants with a lot of babies. Kilimanjaro view is real scenery and the variety of scenarios is nice and interesting. on the other side the park is extremely dusty, no off-road possible and a lot of tourists given the period of the year.
