Choose Chez
Absolutely stunning experience with lots of life moments. Highly recommended! Our guide Chez is incredible, I have absolutely no idea how he managed to have that GPS in his brain which allowed him to find his way in a place like Serengeti where there is nothing but dust and trees. He was also really nice not to get too close to the animals, which I really appreciate as I don’t want to disturb them. I was a bit scared when we first arrived at the campsite, panicking slightly over how to go to toilet at night but Chez introduced me to a staff and dragged my tent next to theirs so I could get help really close and any time. The only downside is the slow response at the booking stage, and the fact that they regrouped us on the last day when I was already used to our vehicle and everything, that was a bit of a chaos, but other than that, everything’s cool. The hotel in Arusha, Safari Homes, is also super welcoming. The food of the safari could also have been better, we ate pretty much the same thing every day and no chance to try real local food

A legitimate, systematic tour operator. They delivered a very smooth service.
Our driver-guide Ezekiel is a professional and passionate person. He knows and cares deeply about wildlife. He can accurately predict the movement of elephant herds and always finds excellent photo angles for us. He drives fast yet safely. He is very attentive — after his long hard working days, he still always checks whether the guests are happy. We were so lucky to have such a professional driver-guide.

Absolutely amazing safari!
We had the best 8 day safari for 2 people with Axis. Everything was well arranged with the office and easy to communicate. The lodges and camps were very comfortable, especially at Amboseli and Masai Mara, where we stayed the longest. Our guide was Charles Pilipili and can’t I say enough about what a wonderful guide he was. He has extensive knowledge of all the parks and the best spots for seeing all the animals. He is from the area and answered all our questions and gave us lots of info, and was helpful in every way. It was obvious he really loves what he does, the land, and the animals, which made our time even more enjoyable. Axis seems to have the best vehicles, and ours was well maintained and much better than others you see driving around the parks. I highly recommend Axis and Charles Pilipili for a safari! Thank you!!

An Incredible Safari Experience – Excellent Service, Experienced Guides and Outstanding Value for Mo
We recently travelled to Kenya for a safari, visiting the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, on a 6 day 5 night package, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience!
I was initially a little sceptical about booking with this tour operator because their prices were significantly lower than those of many other operators, and there were fewer reviews available online. I wondered whether choosing a cheaper package might mean compromising on the quality of the experience as well as our safety. However, having completed our safari, I can confidently say that we made an excellent decision!
The entire experience was absolutely wonderful, and the service was comparable to what other travellers received from operators charging more than double what we paid. The tour guides were highly experienced, knowledgeable and professional. Although we missed out on sighting a leopard, we've had several incredibly close sightings of the other members of the Big Five.
Another thing that really impressed us was how smoothly everything was organised. All the arrangements were made efficiently, and everything happened without unnecessary delays. When travelling across different destinations on a safari, good organisation makes such a huge difference, and this operator delivered exceptionally well.
I would also like to give special recognition to Gentrix, who was incredibly helpful from the very beginning. I had quite a few questions before booking, and she patiently answered my queries and provided the information I needed. I never felt pressured to make a decision. Instead, I felt comfortable asking questions and taking the time I needed to decide. She made the whole process pleasant and stress-free, and that gave me confidence in choosing this company.
Overall, we had a fantastic safari experience, with experienced guides, excellent organisation, helpful customer service and genuinely outstanding value for money. We paid considerably less than many other travellers, but we certainly didn't feel that we received a lesser experience.
I would recommend this tour operator to anyone planning a safari in Kenya, especially those who are working with a budget but don't want to compromise on the quality of their experience.
A big thank you to Gentrix and the entire team for helping make our Kenyan safari such a memorable experience. So glad we chose you!

Access to Amazing Africa
This is the second time I have used Safari 365. The first was for a trip to South Africa in 2018 (fantastic trip) and this summer to the Masai Mara, another wonderful experience.

Great organisation and service
Henry was an outstanding guide throughout our safari. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about Kenya’s wildlife, landscapes, and culture. He was also flexible, approachable, and easygoing, which made every part of the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable.
Thanks to Henry, we had a fantastic time and made the most of our safari. I would wholeheartedly recommend him and Savannah Woods Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Kenya. If you’re looking for a memorable experience with a knowledgeable and friendly guide, Henry is the person to book!

A reliable and responsible tour operator.
We went on a safari in October and saw so many animals: elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, and many more! We booked through a company and stayed at a hotel that was absolutely amazing.
Our guide was engaging, cheerful, and very knowledgeable, sharing lots of interesting information throughout the trip. We visited Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. Three wonderful days!
I highly recommend this experience. You definitely won’t regret it. It was truly incredible!
By the way, we booked six months in advance and had some concerns, but everything went really smoothly. The transfers were prompt, and the company took care of all the arrangements. Everything was well organized and ran like clockwork.
Thank you so much!!!

Unforgettable Maasai Mara experience with Geeman!
We had an incredible two full days on safari in the Maasai Mara, and Geeman made it truly unforgettable. His tracking instincts and knowledge of the reserve are top-tier. Thanks to him, we managed to spot everything on our checklist across just two days. He positioned the vehicle perfectly for sightings and photography every single time.
Beyond being a brilliant guide, Geeman is warm, exceptionally friendly, and constantly brings great energy and conversation to the drive. He made us feel completely at ease from minute one. If you are heading to the Mara, ask for Geeman, you won't find a better companion out in the bush!

Fantastic experience!
We had an amazing experience from beginning to end with Pega tours. We had a slightly quirky itinerary and not much time, and they worked with us to arrange a perfect trip. John was a fantastic guide, so knowledgeable about the wildlife and all the books and crannies of the parks, and went out of his way (quite literally!) to show us all the gems and animals. The home stay with the owner is basic, clean and welcoming, with tasty food. We were so pleased that we ended up hiring out John as a driver all the way to rift valley as well, and we were very comfortable in the safari van on the scenic route. Thoroughly recommend!!!

We had a very enjoyable 5 day safari
It was well organised from the beginning
Reservations Sales team and then a smooth handover to the coordinator
Safari driver was good as well
It certainly was very expensive and the one thing that we didn’t like is the high expectations from your company to give the drivers a tip of more then 100 USD per day for a family of four
Nowhere else in the world does that exist
Aren’t you paying them enough when your company is already charging a lot for the actual Safari ??
