Perfect !
We had a fantastic experience and were extremely satisfied with the whole tour. Our guide, Peter, was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated throughout the safari. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience and did everything he could to help us see as many animals as possible.
Thanks to him, we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our safari. A huge thank you to Peter for making this trip such a memorable experience! We highly recommend him!

Very organized & well prepared!
What an amazing experience!
First of all thanks to Peter from Axis Safari for being so patient while we were discussing the itinerary. He didn’t impose anything forcefully and gave suggestions where asked for feedback. There was absolutely no issue with any of the bookings or payments. All hotels were prepared for our arrival. Simba Lodge Lake Navishah and Mara Maisha were absolutely beautiful! Set in beautiful scenery & such comfortable rooms ❤️
Our guide was Richard. It was an absolute pleasure to have him with us for 5 days. He is from Masai Mara area so very much aware of everything. Being a young guide, his knowledge of the area and animals was quite astonishing. He was friendly, kind, and engaged so well with our kids and answered all their questions. He made sure we had the best spot to take pictures without distressing the animals. Kids have given him 100/10.
Thanks to Axis, Peter & Richard for making our holiday so memorable ❤️

An Unforgettable 4-Day Adventure in Kenya
An Unforgettable 4-Day Adventure in Kenya
It was an incredible and action-packed four-day experience, filled with surprises and unforgettable moments. I also joined the 3-night, 4-day tour starting from Nairobi, Kenya, and it was truly an amazing journey from start to finish.
Our tour guides, Moses and David, were extremely kind, friendly, and professional. They patiently answered all of our questions and were always willing to accommodate our requests, which made the entire trip very comfortable and enjoyable.
We experienced a boat safari on Lake Naivasha, cycling through Hell’s Gate, and game drives in the Masai Mara National Reserve. We were able to see a wide variety of wildlife and breathtaking landscapes throughout the trip. Every day brought something new and exciting.
These four days were truly unforgettable, and I’m very grateful for the wonderful experience. I would definitely love to come back to Kenya again and explore even more of this amazing country!

An Incredible Gorilla Encounter in Rwanda
We had an absolutely incredible experience on our gorilla encounter in Rwanda. Our guide, Kenneth, was a former ranger and incredibly knowledgeable. His experience, passion, and understanding of the gorillas made the whole experience even more special. He provided fascinating insights throughout the trek and helped us truly appreciate the opportunity to see these amazing animals in their natural habitat.
A special thank you to Jonathan in the office, who was extremely helpful, accommodating, and responsive
throughout. When an Ebola outbreak meant that our original plans had to change, Jonathan went above and beyond to replan the entire tour, making alternative arrangements and ensuring everything continued as smoothly as possible. His flexibility and professionalism were greatly appreciated.
This was a truly unforgettable experience, and having such an experienced guide and such a dedicated team behind the scenes made it even more special. Highly recommended

Fantastic service from start to finish!
Just BOOK IT! We have traveled a lot internationally and this was by far the best trip yet! Julian was exceptional to work with. He had a pulse on the itinerary from start to finish. Humphrey, our safari guide, was extremely knowledgeable and we learned SO much about Tanzania, the history, the culture, and the animals. The camps we stayed at were comfortable, clean and the staff was so friendly. I booked this trip totally off of reviews because we didn’t know anyone who had done this. I am so glad we went with Kojuu! So personal and they will give you the trip of your dreams! 10/10!

Fantastic Safari Experience
We booked a 3-day camping safari with Suricata Safaris adventuring to the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. While the booking was relatively simple, we had a scheduling issue when we got to our accommodations. Our safari was initially booked incorrectly by the sales representative, but it was quickly resolved by Kevin/Celvin, our briefer at the Jevas Hotel (one of the accommodation locations). I really appreciated how swiftly he was able to resolve this issue.
We were paired with Felix for our driver. Felix had a great eye for spotting the various animals and was a very caring and patient person. He was experienced and knew where to go to find the animals. Thanks to Felix, I feel incredibly blessed to have been able to see all the Big 5 (we saw 4 out of 5 on our first day!).
The camping accommodations were fine and were located in public camping sites inside the park. While the facilities lacked consistent hot water and working showers, they were not responsible for that. I also thought the food was good! I really enjoyed having a hot lunch rather than a boxed lunch. Additionally, during dinner, they brought out bottles of wine!
I am glad we went with Suricata Adventures. They have their operations together but I think a little clearer communication could have helped our itinerary issue.

Top Notch Customer Service
A year ago, when I went to my bank to wire transfer a large deposit for our safari trip to Tanzania Roadside Expeditions, my banker looked deep into my eyes with worry: "Tanzania? Large amount? One year ahead deposit? You have never met the 'tour operator'? Are you out of your mind? Is this an international scam?"
Well, I just finished my 13-day Kenya-Tanzania safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions, and I can assure you, Tanzania Roadside Expeditions is not only a legitimate company, but they also distinguished themselves above all others while handling challenging situations. They showcase great leadership, grace, generosity, and excellent people skills.
The last day of our trip was a jeep ride from Masai Mara back to Nairobi International Airport. Because of the driver's miscalculation on timing, plus a series of unfortunate events, I was late to the airport. The airline canceled my entire two-leg flight and charged me a heavy fine for a "no-show." Nairobi airport terminal doesn't open for passengers who have no ticket; under the hot sun outside the building, I was fortunately able to secure a later flight. The price, including the no-show fine, was so high that it made me even hotter.
I called Tanzania Roadside Expeditions and explained what had happened. Paul, the great tour operator, immediately acknowledged that the driver didn't depart early enough, which caused my trouble. He didn't blame, didn't argue, didn't negotiate; he only asked to see the receipt of my new purchase. On behalf of his company, he took full responsibility and gracefully promised reimbursement for such unexpected costs. He wished me a safe flight home with his warm wishes. Standing in front of the Nairobi airport terminal, I was in tears from his kindness, understanding, and courage to shoulder his responsibilities with dignity. After all, this extra cost was a very big chunk of their income as well, yet he put his client's best interest as the top priority, all the way to the last day of the trip.
When I landed back home in Seattle, his reimbursement fund landed as well. I am amazed by this excellence.
Traveling sometimes takes unexpected turns, especially on a wild safari trip. But when you sign up with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions, Paul is there for you—he has you covered. Hakuna Matata!

John was professional, organized, a wealth of information during his tours.
Everything went smooth on camp treks side. They were all excellent with communication and assisting through the whole tour with anyone’s needs. They were very experienced with all parks and had a tremendous amount of knowledge about animals, habitat, cultures, and the lay of the land. They went out of their way to make sure you were safe and took great stride in finding the animals and giving you the chance to have fantastic photos and memories for a life time. The hotels and campsites we stayed at were all hospitable and the food was great. We saw so many animals. You felt like you were in the National Geographic documentary. It was so amazing. A feeling of awe and wonder. I highly recommend Camp Trek. John, Simon, and Benson were great at their jobs. Best company and tour ever. Thank you all.
