With Axis Africa- The Incredible and unforgettable moments
I had a seven days safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Before this tour I had several discussions with Cynthia and she helped me to plan my trip in a perfect manner. She also helped me to procure my train tickets for Mombasa. But this tour would not have been that successful if we did not have Tom as our driver cum guide. He is not only well conversant about the wild animals but also very eager to make us see the big five. I and my wife are very happy with the type of service provided to us by this team. My only bad experience in this tour was with AA Lodge Amboseli. Although their staffs were very cordial, but service is below average. I would request the team to make a note of this in their future bookings.

Incredibly organized and thoughtful
I had an absolutely amazing experience with this tour operator during my four day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru safari. Since the moment I contacted Dextrip Safari for a quote, the tour operator agent (Antony) was very thorough and responsive with his timely response to all my inquiries, as well as being proactive with providing the pertinent details about the safari tour. Impressed with his professionalism as well
as with the incredible tour itinerary, naturally I booked this tour with the deposit. When the tour began, I was even more impressed with their staff, their wonderful tour guides, their flexibility and consideration with accommodating the needs of their guests, their equipment, their choice of a wide array of accommodations ranging from budget to mid luxury to luxury, their attention to details and their commitment to provide a memorable safari experience for all their guests. Overall, I commend this tour company for their excellence and speciality in delivering a memorable safari experience to me and my fellow tour guests.

So well organized and friendly
Pamela from Zim was the best tour guide! We booked an 8 day excursion in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Everything was so well organized and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first safari! We also loved our tour guides Caleb from Chobe and Dicky from Okavango. These people all made our trip so special!

Great safari with passionate guides
Went with a mate for a safari trip (6 days) and hiking Kilimanjaro ( 2days) . We really liked the safari - was well organised and got to see the big 5. Our safari guide Nuru was awesome and really passionate about his job - made the experience really fun when the guide is keen and looking out for the animals! Unfortunately we didn’t see the migration despite camping there for the full day - the wilder beasts didn’t seem to want to cross that day. 2 nights in the Serengeti was definitely the right call and camping overnight was something else - seeing elephants close to our camps and hearing distant lion roars at dawn.
We had a small hiccup on our hiking trip - we were supposed to have an overnight camp but the park rules changed and didn’t allow short camps. This was unfortunate and we didn’t find out until the gate due to the admin mismatch but our guide worked with us to provide a very reasonable refund for the missed portion of the itenary - and provided alternative activities to explore the town nearby instead.
Loved the experience overall - and shoutout to our guide organisers (Gift) and safari guide Nuru.

Perfekt Trip
The organization was perfect. We were picked up from the N1 Hotel in Victoria Falls and driven to the border with Zambia. Our passports were checked there, and then we were taken to the Zambian side. Keith and John picked us up there. We had booked a private tour. Keith was a great, calm driver. John was a superb guide who shared really interesting information with us. John and Keith were fantastic. We saw giraffes, elephants, monkeys, buffalo, and impalas. Chobe National Park in Botswana had more to offer... BUT... the highlight came at the end. There are only 12 rhinos left in the whole of Zambia, and 10 in this park. We stopped at a certain point and met the rangers there. We then walked with the rangers for 2 or 3 minutes and then came across 6 rhinos. The distance to the rhinos was about 20 meters. Amazing. It was truly a wow factor. We were able to take photos in peace and ask the super friendly rangers questions. A wonderful moment. You have to do this tour!!!!!

Experience of a Lifetime
I had the privilege of touring with Simon as my guide. My family and I took an amazing safari and Simon was a big part of what made it so successful. He’s an experienced guide. He was able to spot all kinds of wildlife for us and had an expansive knowledge of the country and all it has to offer. I have recommended his tour to many people on my various social media travel pages with good feedback. I would also like to mention that my family also really enjoyed him on a personal level. He was always positive and ready to have a great day. He really added to our overall experience. He was committed to providing the best tour possible for us. If I could I would go back in a minute!

Excellent Safari
We just completed a 6 Day/5 Night Safari with African Big Cat Safaris. From the very start communication was great and trustworthy with Naomi.
The trip was very well organized, and we felt extremely secure during the trip. The Manager Emmanuel met us on arrival and thoroughly briefed us on the dos and don'ts of the trip along with a detailed itinerary.
Our guide, Claus, was very knowledgeable, patient, dedicated, and always giving his best to make sure that we got to see all the animals during the trip. Above all, he was super funny and we truly liked interacting with him. Emmanuel was also present to get feedback at the end of our trip. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour operator. They are reliable and goes out of their way to make their customers happy.

They go an extra mile to help us
We had an incredible experience with Spirit of Kenya Holiday Vacation. Everything was planned out perfectly for us, and William was fantastic: always responsive to our emails and attentive to our needs, offering suggestions that truly enhanced our trip.
A special shoutout to our amazing driver and guide, Songe. He made our Kenya adventure unforgettable. Songe was patient, helpful, and always made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. His deep knowledge of the roads and the game drive areas allowed us to spot exactly what we were hoping to see. He is a safe and cautious driver, and we always felt secure in his care.
What truly sets Songe apart is his warm personality and dedication. He consistently went above and beyond to help us find wildlife and ensure we were enjoying every moment. It was clear how respected he is in the area, he greets almost everyone we pass during game drives and pit stops with a friendly smile.
He also took some time to explain what we were seeing and experiencing, which added so much depth to our safari. We are truly grateful to have had him as our guide.
Thank you so much Songe and William for making our Kenya trip so special!
