Best Safari Experience with Collin
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an amazing safari experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. Everything was well organized from start to finish, making our journey completely worry-free.
The hotels selected were comfortable and enjoyable, and the highlight of the trip was that we successfully saw the Big Five. Our guide, Collin, was reliable, professional, and highly experienced. His knowledge of wildlife and the parks helped us make the most of every game drive. He also took excellent photos for us, helping capture many unforgettable moments.
The trip was absolutely worth the money, offering great value and an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, for a wonderful adventure. We highly recommend this company, especially guide Collin, to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

AMAZING
I was absolutely delighted from start to finish with my safari experience with Mamnana Adventures. The best part was that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We were coming from Zanzibar, and they took care of our transfer to the airport. When we arrived in Arusha, Noah and Yummi welcomed us warmly.
They surprised us with a beautiful and thoughtful touch: our safari vehicle had our names on it along with a special anniversary decoration. We were the only guests on safari with our names displayed on the vehicle, which made us feel incredibly special! 😍
From that moment on, everything was wonderful. We spent a night in the Serengeti, and the magic of that place was simply breathtaking. I can’t fully describe in words what I experienced there.
What I loved most was that I never had to worry about organizing anything. Everything had already been arranged by Mamnana Adventures. We didn’t even have to handle hotel check-ins—just arrive, relax, and enjoy the experience.
If you ever have the opportunity to visit Africa and go on a safari in Tanzania, I truly believe there is no better way to experience it than with Mamnana Adventures.
Thank you, guys, for making this trip so special. It will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️

Absolute best in the business - Kudos to Cynthia and Peter Kapino
An amazingly outstanding experience with Axis Africa safaris. I planned this trip with my family on the occasion of my 40th birthday. For planning this , I had connected with Cynthia who is the MD of the company and inspite of holding a high position she was completely hands on and so humble , while accommodating our requests and requirements. She also made a few suggestions from her end to make the trip comfortable since we were travelling with our 6 yr old child. The planning, though exhaustive was well chalked out. Through months after booking Cynthia was extremely forthcoming and always available to answer the questions that we had. We planned Masai mara , Naivasha and Amboseli with them.
Then came the big day! The first day of our trip starting in Nairobi- pick up and drop off to hotel was very smooth. During our first day, there was some confusion from the hotel’s side, and Cynthia herself was there at the hotel to solve it in a jiffy and ensured that everything went well.
For our safari, we were allocated one of the best guides that they have - Peter Kapino aka “Kapino”. He is highly experienced in this industry with over 15 years of service .. What an excellent time we had with him!! He was always there on time to pick us up and did every little thing to make us feel comfortable. He also ensured that our little one was comfortable and had an awesome trip.He has an amazing sense of tracking animals and he was so involved with getting us the best possible sightings. Knowing that I am also a photographer he would position the vehicle in the perfect spot every single time with pin point accuracy.. it was just amazing so his tracking and positioning skills helped me get some really awesome shots! We also completed the Big 5, thanks to his excellent skill sets as a tracker and guide!
Axis Africa also arranged an absolutely lovely birthday celebrations for me at the lodge which made the trip even more memorable. This is by far the best birthday celebration my family and I could ask for! This was my first trip to Kenya through Axis Africa but definitely not the last one. I strongly recommend them for planning your dream safaris, just plan and let them do the rest!!

Wayne took care of every last detail providing us with a superior experience in every way
We had the most incredible experience with Wayne and The Kruger Safari Co. from start to finish. Wayne was very responsive, answering any questions and arranged flawless logistics—from the moment we arrived to the day we left. There were people arranged to meet us and take care of us every step of the way taking the worry out of being in a different country. Our safaris and lodging were superb from Greenfire lodge to Kapama Karula Lodge which was over the top amazing. Our guides in both places were fantastic and very knowledgeable, packing our drives with amazing sightings. The lodges, staff and food were all wonderful.
Highly recommend Wayne and The Kruger Safari Co, we couldn’t have asked for a better adventure!

The safari tour exceeded our expectations.
The walking, trekking and driving tours were amazing. Trekking with the gorillas and walking with giraffes was the highlight of the trip. The Uganda’s were very kind and hospitable and our tour guide Andrew was knowledgeable about the culture and animals.

Very professional and knowledgeable Tour Guide
This is a great brand to customise your safaris in Kenya. They arranged a private transport from Nairobi to Masai Mara and during the whole trip, I had the same driver and guide who were extremely friendly and professional. They knew their way around in the Jungle and help spot every animal. I highly recommend using this agency for your trip.

Seamless Itinerary, Outstanding Value, and Unmatched Kindness
If I could give George 10 stars, I would. Our journey to the Masai Mara was delayed multiple times due to personal reasons and last-minute visa issues on the day of our flight. Throughout all of this, George was incredibly kind, honest, and flexible—holding our deposit money across nearly a year until we could finally make the trip in June 2026.
When we finally arrived, the trip was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The guide was highly experienced, the hotel choices were excellent, and the itinerary was seamless. Before booking, I inquired with 7 or 8 different operators, and George was by far the most economical without compromising on quality. If you want a trustworthy, accommodating, and top-tier tour operator, look no further than George! Thanks a ton for putting up with us.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tanzania
Our safari in Tanzania was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived until the very last day, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations.
A special thanks goes to our guide, Rafa, who was outstanding in every way. His knowledge of wildlife, ecosystems, and local culture was remarkable, but what impressed us even more was his ability to communicate with guests from different countries. Rafa speaks multiple languages, including fluent English and Spanish, which made the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone in our group. He was always professional, friendly, patient, and passionate about his work.
His animal-spotting skills were exceptional. Thanks to Rafa, we were fortunate enough to find the Big Five during our safari. Seeing these iconic animals in their natural habitat was an unforgettable experience. We were especially excited to find the incredibly rare rhinoceros. Although it was peacefully sleeping when we saw it, simply having the opportunity to observe such a rare and magnificent animal in the wild was a privilege and a highlight of the trip.
The service provided by Kilimanjaro was excellent from beginning to end. Every detail was carefully planned, the accommodations were wonderful, and the entire experience felt seamless and stress-free.
One of the most memorable moments of our journey happened on the final evening when we had the pleasure of having dinner at the residence of the company’s manager. This was far more than a simple meal—it was an opportunity to experience genuine African hospitality and learn about the culture and traditions of a local family. We felt incredibly welcomed, and it was a beautiful way to end an already amazing adventure. Being able to share stories, enjoy traditional hospitality, and gain a deeper understanding of Tanzanian culture made the trip even more special.
This safari was not only about wildlife; it was also about the people, the culture, and the warmth that Tanzania has to offer. We left with incredible memories, new friendships, and a deep appreciation for this beautiful country.
I highly recommend Kilimanjaro and especially Rafa to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, multilingual guide and an authentic experience that goes beyond the game drives, look no further.
A truly exceptional safari and an experience we will cherish forever.

Excellent Experience - Well-Thought Itinerary, Great Service/Coordination team
My first safari experience was a resounding success thanks to the Eta team and my wonderful game driver, Brian! When I began to explore safari options (looking for roughly a week long trip), I was impressed by Eta's itinerary and cost point. The itinerary was comprehensive, including fees for the game reserves, lodging, and all meals - there was very little as well as optional activities (which I highly recommend participating in!). From the get-go, Derrick, my main point of contact at Eta, was patient and thorough in answering my (many) questions. He went above and beyond throughout the remainder of the process, checking in with me throughout the safari to make sure I had a good experience.
The actual safari experience was lovely. We saw amazing wildlife and explored many different terrains within Kenya. I embarked on the 7-day itinerary which included visits to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Hell's Gate, and Amboseli game parks. I wasn't sure what to expect from a safari, but a lot of time was spent in the car, sometimes spent off-roading or traversing bumpy roads - if you have back problems or other mobility constraints, come prepared! I also want to remind people that you are tracking wild animals. There is nothing your driver can do to control if the lions will be awake when you see them or if they'll even be visible in the first place; I only bring this up as there were several entitled people who would whine if the Cheetah we saw wouldn't magically wake up and smile for them - please don't be that person!
That aside, my driver Brian, did an excellent job at tracking down rare animals and making sure that we got up close and personal to the big five and more. Brian is also extremely funny, knowledgeable, and can answer almost any question you have along the way. We had a few technical issues (broken down car, flat tire in a game park) and Brian remained cool and collected until they were resolved. I was also impressed by the fact that we were able to find a replacement vehicle within an hour of our car breaking down, allowing us to proceed with our safari with little interruption.
I highly recommend participating in optional activities - the Masai Mara visit and Lake Naivasha boat ride were some of my favorite experiences of the safari! Overall, the overall costs of the safari are well worth the money. I personally upgraded to the "mid-range" accommodations, which actually ended up being some pretty nice hotels along the way. If you can afford it, I think the few hundred dollar upgrade in comparison to the budget option is worth the splurge.
Couple of other notes - there were a few minor issues throughout my safari, however, the Eta team responded to them quickly. I had a situation where one of the hotels I was staying got overbooked for one of the two nights I was supposed to stay there. While unideal to need to switch hotels, Eta was able to replace that with a comparable accommodation and everything worked out fine. Another piece I'll note is at times there seemed to be a disconnect between what was being communicated between the safari company and our driver (e.g. which passengers were staying at which lodgings, etc.) - this didn't impact the overall experience but sometimes lead to some confusion or additional communication needed between safari company and driver.
Everything said and done - Eta provided a fantastic safari experience and I could not recommend Brian more! I loved going on safari in Kenya and could not recommend this tour more!

Exceeded Expectations
We had an amazing experience with Extra Miles Unique Adventures! Joseph was fantastic to work with – he took the time to customize our Safari itinerary exactly to our preferences and was always quick to respond to emails, making the whole planning process, smooth and stress-free.
Our driver, Felix, was equally outstanding. He was very safe and skilled driver, and his knowledge of the area is impressive – he always seems to know exactly where to go to spot wildlife, which made our safari unforgettable.
I would definitely book with them again on my next trip to Kenya. Highly recommend!
