An exceptional safari operator that goes above and beyond for every guest.
I recently returned from an unforgettable trip to the Maasai Mara with Tazama Africa Holidays, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
Our guide, Martin, was one of the best guides I've ever had. Not only is he incredibly friendly and enthusiastic, but he's also exceptionally knowledgeable. Throughout the journey, he shared fascinating insights into Kenya's history, culture, wildlife, and local way of life, making every part of the trip engaging and educational.
With over 17 years of experience, Martin's expertise was evident from the start. He went above and beyond to ensure we got the most out of our safari. He was transparent about what to expect in the park and offered thoughtful recommendations based on our interests. Thanks to his advice, we chose to do a full-day game drive, which turned out to be one of the highlights and most unforgettable memory of our trip. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, witnessed remarkable animal behavior, and were even fortunate enough to experience the Great Migration near the Tanzanian border.
Whether you're a seasoned traveler or visiting the Maasai Mara—or anywhere else in Kenya or neighboring countries—for the first time, I highly recommend Tazama Africa Holidays. If you have the opportunity, request Martin as your driver and guide. His professionalism, friendliness, knowledge, and genuine passion for what he does made our experience truly exceptional.

An 8 day private safari that felt made just for us
We put this 8-day private trip together with Suricata over a fair bit of back-and-forth by email, and they were patient with all of it. Both the office and our guide were genuinely flexible with what we wanted along the way. The route took us through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, central and northern Serengeti - since it was migration season and we wanted to catch the highlights - and finished in Ngorongoro. We mostly followed Damian’s advice on where and when to go, and it paid off - big cats, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, a huge variety of birds, and the wildebeest crossings, all of it. We ended up seeing everything we’d hoped for. Truly an incredible experience.

Amazing
We are extremely satisfied with our guide Lenny during the Kenya safari tour. He is incredibly experienced and familiar with animal habits. Even those hidden animals can be quickly found by him. Lenny explained local culture and wildlife facts vividly. He was thoughtful and always cared about our experience. It was such a wonderful journey because of him. If you come to Masai Mara, choose Lenny without hesitation.

A bucket list experience!
We booked The Hospitality Shuttle based on their reviews and they absolutely lived up to their 5/5 reviews!
Leading up to the trip, Bob was seamless with communication, helping us create a tour that suited our needs and was very flexible as we worked on the finer details.
Once we arrived in Uganda, we were in safe hands. The accomodation associated with the tour is all stunning! The vehicles used was without a doubt the best vehicle we saw on the trip (some companies have mini vans, Shuttle Hospitality have the fun jeeps). Food at all accomodations is so delicious!
Our guide, Emmy, was so patient and clearly explained what was going to happen each day. He was very passionate about the wildlife and went above and beyond to try and make sure we saw as many animals as possible.
Honestly, not a single thing went wrong! We saw the Big 5, slept well, ate well and were in excellent company the entire trip.
It was a dream come true!

We loved it, it was perfect. Our guide did his best to show us all of the animals.
The organisation of the safari tour was great, we managed to see all of the animals we wanted to such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes and different species of birds and antelopes. The accommodation in the Wildnest camp was great and the food vmwas tasty. I really recommend travelling with Axis Africa Safaris - you won’t regret that.

Easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and very helpful throughout the whole booking process
We had an amazing experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. Communication before the trip was excellent. They replied quickly, answered all of our questions and made the booking process easy.
Our guide and driver Raymond was fantastic. He knew all the safari tracks extremely well allowing us to reach the best wildlife spots at the right time. Thanks to his experience, we were able to see an incredible variety of animals from just a few meters away, including many lions, two cheetahs, and even a leopard which is often dificult to spot. We also saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and many other amazing species.
The food at our camp was delicious and the accommodation was clean and good, especially considering it was a budget camp. Everything was well organised so we can definately recommend Axis Africa Expeditions & Safaris to everyone who is looking for an unforgettable wildlife experience!

John was an incredible guide throughout the tour
Axis Africa was amazing! John Mwangi was fantastic! He took care of everyone and answered all the questions we had. He was very considerate of everyone. Not just in our car but other people who came to see the animals. There were no issues with any of the scheduling. Communication was fantastic. Would definitely do it again!
