Fulfilling the dream of an African safari
Our 7-days safari in Kenya is coming to an end. Thanks to Axis Africa Safaris, it’s an experience we’ll cherish for a long time. It was wonderful and exceeded all our expectations!
I’d like to give a huge thank you to Lucy for her professional advice and quick responses whenever needed (and patience with such a demanding client as myself. She worked miracles to secure the accommodations we had chosen, and everything was organized to the highest standard. We visited Tsavo, Amboseli, Nakuru, Naivasha, and the Masai Mara. Each of these parks is unique and well worth a visit.
A massive thank you goes to Ben as well. I’m not sure if he’s a better driver or a better guide. We felt completely safe with him, both on the road and during the safari (he knew exactly what to do when one of us suffered a dangerous wasp sting). On top of that, he has the eyes of a hawk and a deep understanding of animal behavior. He knew exactly when to wait during the safari and when it was best not to waste time. Spotting the "Big Five" with him seemed so easy...
He also possesses a wealth of knowledge that he was happy to share.
Highly recommended.
And finally, if anyone is wondering whether a hot-air balloon ride over the Masai Mara is worth it—yes, it is an absolute must. Even my fear of heights didn't stop me from doing it.

An unforgettable 5-Day Mount Kenya Adventure with Tilman Safaris
We had a wonderful experience climbing Mount Kenya with Tilman Safaris. We did a 5-day trek from Chogoria to Point Lenana and back down via the Sirimon Route. It was a great route for acclimatization and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking.
Our guide Leonard was very knowledgeable and experienced. He always adapted to our pace and guided us safely throughout the trek.
We were supported by a whole team, which was a lovely surprise at the beginning. Everyone was very helpful and professional. A special thank you to our amazing chef Taylor, who prepared delicious and varied meals every day, no matter the altitude, weather, or campsite. We definitely never went hungry!
The porters also did a great job and worked very hard to support us throughout the trek.
Reaching Point Lenana for sunrise was an unforgettable moment and definitely one of the highlights of the trip.
Overall, the 5 days were an amazing experience. Thanks to the whole Tilman Safaris team for the great organization, all your effort, and for making this such a memorable adventure. We would definitely recommend them!

Reliable, knowledgeable, helpful operator and guide
We enjoyed our safari with King Mufasa very much 👌. It all started with a smooth preparation, communication and tailored-to-our-needs offer by Davis, finding the best set-up for us for the planned trip. During safari we had a great time, being on a 5-day tour, all was organised perfectly (including travel from Zanzibar hotel to Tansania mainland, safari start point, and return), and we were able to visit several Tanzanian NPs and took lots of great memories with us. Our guide Inocent was friendly, reliable, safe driver, and provided lots of information about the animals and areas, also always looking for our needs as a family (2 adults, 3 kids) ❤️
We definitely made the right decision, choosing King Mufasa Expeditions and fully recommend 🙂

Very efficient and responsive
I love our safari trip. 10 days trip, tired but very exciting. Teddy is very responsive and helped us figure out all the bookings. All good rooms were confirmed as early as possible. Especially at Amboseli our room is directly facing Mount Kilimanjaro, which is amazing! Our guide and driver Simon is best of best! He is very experienced of positioning when big migration happened and he is super patient and responsible! His dedications brought our whole trip to the next level!

Outstanding tailor made safari experience with Gametrackers.
My wife and myself did our first camping safari with Gametrackers in 2012 and we had an excellent time. That’s why I chose Gametrackers again for another safari but this time with our 2 kids, 8 and 12 years old. I wanted a tailor made trip to the northern parks and also visit some off the beaten track locations. Judy in the office took care of all my wishes and also gave me some excellent ideas for some special excursions, like one to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary or a visit to Nghurunit. Judy replied very quickly to my emails and she found a solution for every issue I had organising our trip. Judy and her team at gametrackers also had a little surprise for my daughter’s birthday. Happy kids 😀
Our guide was Rufus and the cook was Caleb. The camping food was excellent, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Caleb did a superb job and the kids loved his pancakes and french toast for breakfast. Dinner was amazing, we had fish, meat, pasta, rice, chapati, ugali, etc.. Caleb never disappointed with his cooking.
Our guide Rufus has over 30 years of experience and has many interesting stories to tell. He did an excellent job driving us around northern Kenya, even though most of our trip was driving off-road. Gametrackers’ old Toyota Landcruisers are very good and can handle even the toughest driving conditions. 5 Stars for Rufus who also got us out of a serious traffic jam using his off-road driving skills and knowledge. I also give Rufus an extra 6th star because of his lion tracking skills in Meru. We got woken up at 5 am by the roaring of lions and Rufus quickly proposed to go and look for them. We jumped in the car and after a short time following lion footprints and listening to their roaring we found them. The kids were very excited.
Our highlights were the hike to the Dragon’s teeth in Aberdare national park, camping in Meru national park where we got elephants visiting our campsite, horse riding with the kids near Naivasha, climbing mount Longonot volcano, Reteti elephant sanctuary and Ol Pejeta where we saw the last 2 northern white rhinos and visited a chimpanzee orphanage. My personal highlight was seeing the Samburu special 5 and our stay a Lion’s cave lodge. Our next safari to Tanzania will definitely be again with Gametrackers. Excellent value for money.

Cordial people and they provide us a BEAUTIFUL experience
Exactly as I have always imagined a safari and Tanzania. Every person we met was kind, friendly, hospitable, and welcoming. The guides were always there to help us with any little emergency and to spot every animal in the vastness of the parks. The accommodations were comfortable and fully met what had been agreed upon at the time of booking.
We truly recommend this experience. Jambo and HAKUNA MATATA!! 🐘🦓🦁🧡
Fiona was great to deal with always responded to our emails. The item art she put together for our
We traveled in a private tour for 4 people and managed to see the big 5 within 2 days within the masai Mara We had 2 great drivers for Kenya and Tanzania they couldn't have been better
We were lucky enough to see right in front of us the wilder beast entering the Mara river an experience we will never forget

Sadaam was friendly, knowledgeable, punctual and created a great environment for my daughter and I!
Axis met all my expectations! I was scared to do this alone with a child, but Tabitha was phenomenal in helping us plan and Sadaam made us feel welcomed, safe and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. Highly recommend.
