Incredible operators
If you are planning a trip to Tanzania, do yourself a favor and book with Happy World Safari immediately. From the moment we landed until the day we departed, the entire experience was flawless, professional, and completely stress-free.
Our guides, Joseph and Dennis, were absolute superstars. They are the ultimate definition of professional hospitality. They consistently went out of their way, utilizing their incredible tracking skills and deep knowledge of the bush to show us almost every animal imaginable, turning this into a truly memorable adventure. Beyond their expertise, their fantastic sense of humor and jokes made the long game drives immensely fun and full of laughter.
This was a milestone birthday trip for my wife, and I specifically requested the absolute best options to make it special. Happy World Safari delivered spectacularly. Every single hotel and luxury lodge they booked for us was world-class—we truly had the best stay imaginable. Coming back from the bush to such spectacular, high-end properties made the celebration feel incredibly exclusive and memorable.
Joseph, Dennis, and the entire team were remarkably accommodating to our every request, seamlessly tailoring the itinerary to our pace. Choosing Happy World Safari felt like having our own private tour where we had total control over our schedule. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for the ultimate Tanzanian safari experience!

Perfect Honeymoon Trip to South Africa
We had an amazing experience working with Natasha at Sun Safari. From the early planning stages she was responsive, organised, and genuinely invested in building the perfect trip for us.
What really stood out was her flexibility, she adapted the itinerary multiple times to suit what we wanted, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Even once we were in South Africa, she stayed in touch and was quick to help with anything we needed.
Thanks to her, the whole trip felt effortless. Highly recommended.

You may encounter various issues throughout the safari.
We started our 6-day safari in Kenya with a great first impression. In Nairobi, the agency owner Morris introduced us to our guide Dennis, a trainee guide, and even gave us safari hats as a gift. Everything looked very promising at the beginning.
Unfortunately, the problems started soon after.
We entered Amboseli for our first evening game drive at around 4:30 PM, while the park closed at 6:00 PM. We weren’t too concerned because our itinerary clearly included a morning game drive the next day. To our surprise, Dennis told us he didn’t know about it and had already thrown away the park tickets, even though they were valid for 24 hours. He suggested skipping the morning drive and heading straight to the next destination because we were already short on time.
I insisted on having the morning game drive as planned and asked to leave at 6:00 AM to make the most of the limited time available. Dennis then claimed that the park gates only opened at 7:00 AM. After checking the information myself and speaking with the lodge owner, it became clear that this was not true. Dennis eventually admitted that he had lied because he did not want to wake up that early before a long day of driving.
As this was my first safari, I didn’t fully recognize this as a major red flag and eventually convinced him to leave at 6:00 AM.
I won’t describe every single day, but here are some of the issues we experienced:
• Amboseli – we only got half of the planned evening game drive, and the morning drive was shortened because Dennis spent around 30 minutes trying to recover the old tickets.
• Lake Naivasha – we arrived just before closing time, and during the Crescent Island excursion we had to rush through parts of the experience to avoid being locked out.
• Lake Nakuru – what was supposed to be both a morning and evening game drive turned into only a morning and partial daytime drive because we left the park and Dennis later claimed he didn’t know the ticket would not allow re-entry.
• Maasai Mara – before arriving, I explained the situation to Morris and asked him to speak with Dennis. Morris promised us a better experience. To be fair, Maasai Mara was excellent, and we had some unforgettable wildlife sightings. However, by that point we were constantly expecting another surprise or problem.
Overall, I cannot say this was a terrible safari. The wildlife was amazing, the landscapes were beautiful, and Morris genuinely tried to help whenever issues arose. The price we paid was also very competitive.
My main recommendation is simple: if you book with this company, try to avoid having Dennis as your guide.
Excellent communication & execution
I would definitely recommend Axis. Their initial whatsapp communication was brilliant and this set the tone for all that followed. Our driver / Roger was superb - so knowledgeable and informative. All aspects of the Safari were superb and exactly as Axis had specified.

It was great and unforgettable!
Our trip was great and unforgettable, the tour lasted 3 days! We visited Masai Mara Park, where we saw a lot of animals living in Kenya! The accommodation during the trip was delightful! The transport we used was of the highest quality! Our guide Roger is a professional in his field, was caring, polite and told us a lot during our trip! We recommend this company and Roger personally for safari trips!

Great Experience!!!
The organisation of the tour was great. Everything very organised, well structured. The camp/hotel selection they recommended were amazing. Exactly what we expected.
Our tour guide and driver, Raymond was great. He’s very knowledgeable and always paying attention on where to spot great animals. We were lucky to see everything we wanted, and Raymond made possible to get us very close to the animals.
And on top, they were able to accommodate great food selection, as we were vegetarian.
