I booked a day to meet the gorillas in Bwindi Forest and see Lake Mutanda. Everything was very well organized, and I had a truly wonderful experience.

Responsive, thorough, professional
5/5

Based on a referral from a Kenyan on a cruise ship i was aboard, I contacted Dennis and he proposed an itinerary for a private daytour in Mombasa which would include 3 landmarks I specified, at a reasonable cost.
My guide was punctual, got me to the three sites, plus several other intriguing venues which were rich in local culture. He was erudite and informative, accompanying me in the preserve and the cooperative campus.

Unfortunately the tour operator Gems of Africa went into Liquidation giving us only two days notice
1/5

Dream of taking our family of 6 on safari ruined as Tour Operator Gems of Africa went into liquidation without fully paying the Safari Reserve despite us paying the final balance to them two months in advance. Unfortunately this only came to light two days prior to us due to going on the Safari when we were notified by the Liquidator that our booking ha been cancelled. Need to be vary and next time would look to book directly.

Amazing safari experience with an incredible guide
5/5

I did the 3 days / 2 nights Masai Mara group safari and honestly had such an amazing experience from beginning to end. Everything was very well organized and smooth, and I never had any problems during the trip.

Our guide Francis was absolutely incredible! you could really tell how experienced and knowledgeable he was. He always did his best to make sure we saw as many animals as possible and gave us a truly unforgettable safari experience. Even in just 3 days, we saw so much wildlife and experienced a lot, including the Maasai Mara itself, the Maasai Village, and so many beautiful landscapes and moments during the game drives.

He was also super friendly and made the whole atmosphere really comfortable and fun. The group was relaxed as well, which made the experience even better.

Overall, it was such a beautiful experience and definitely one of the highlights of my time in Kenya. I would 100% recommend Axis Africa Safaris.

That was the best experience
5/5

Our guide and driver was Richard.

He spoke fluent Russian, even though he has never been to Russia. He could answer every question we had.

He knew all kinds of birds and animals and was able to spot them from a very long distance.

Richard was very patient with all our quirks and problems. He would patiently stop the car as many times as we wanted — for the toilet, coffee, souvenirs, an ATM, or a pharmacy. He even managed to find toilets for us inside the national parks.

He helped me organize a walking tour in Amboseli.

When I forgot my phone in the car, he drove back at night to return it to me.

He is an excellent driver — fast, but always safe.

Richard is the best guide, and I highly recommend him!

A Trusted Travel Partner
5/5

When traveling somewhere you’ve never been, no amount of research can compare to the level of intimate knowledge provided by someone who has repeatedly been to the area you are traveling to.

I completely lucked out in finding the Kruger Safari Company. The top notch communication and level of knowledge cannot be improved upon. Their recommendation of Greenfire Lodge, which was based on questions asked of what I was looking for, was spot on.

The airport transfers, the flights, and the lodge were all booked by Kruger Safari Company. All I had to do was show up.

The level of customer suooort didn’t stop there. Wayne reached out to inform me that Capetown airport had shut down for the day due to weather but that I should just relax and enjoy the safari and he would monitor the situation. There was no contractual reason for him to do this…he just did it.

I am thankful to have found them and have already recommended them to a dozen other people for their next Africa adventure.

Awesome :) Professional, skilled and relaxed
5/5

Franklin is an enthuisiastic and very friendly guide. He starts off by emphasizing "hakuna matata" and "pole pole" and creates a relaxed and warm atmosphere. The Land Cruiser with which we drove through the country started to feel like home :) The combination of impressive driving, sharing of his comprehensive knowledge of anything nature related, finding the beautiful lunch spots, and his attentiveness to creating the best possible photographs and going the extra mile are amazing!

The communication before was clear and reliable and, during some challenges at our side, the team was always very helpful ;) The quote we reserved beforehand is very representative of the program. The schedule of our 5-Day Safari to Mikumi and Selous Game Reserve was well constructed. The Masai visit on Day 1 was a great introduction of safari. The combination of the Mikumi park, the long but certainly beautiful drive across the country on Day 3 towards Nyerere National Parc, and the Boat Safari on Day 4, and the Bush walk on Day 5 created a much appreciated diversity which made us fall in love with Tanzanian nature :)

We are really appreciated having one driver and guide during the whole safari, and in driving across the country - additional guides were present in the Masai village as well as in the boat and walking safari. The lodges were all great, with a special appreciation for the location and view in the Selous Mapumziko Lodge on Night 3 and 4, and the wonderful atmosphere in Camp Bastian Mikumi on Day 1. We would have loved to stay here two nights as well :)
