Highly recommended from start to finish
We had a fantastic safari with Imara. Right from the start the team was easy and straight-forward to deal with.
Our guide/driver was excellent (thanks so much Tony!), managed to find every animal on our wishlist, and made sure we enjoyed the whole trip.
We were a group of 3 and did a private safari. This gave us a lot more flexibility about where to go, which animals to search for etc, and our guide (Tony) was always adjusting the plan make sure we had the best experience.
Covering our 'spotting wishlist' was fantastic, but Tony was always working to ensure we got better views and up-close experience with our favourites. That made all the difference to how much we enjoyed the safari.
I'd definitely recommend Imara, and we would happily book our next safari through them.

Wonderful, Jumbe ist the best guide ever!
It was all perfectly organized, the car was safe and Jumbe is a very careful driver, both in the city as in the road. Off road Jumbe was driving carefully and condidently but not hesitating to be fast when an animal was to be seen. Jumbe knew more aboit nature than any guide I have ever had. Names of animals, behaviour, etc. You can ask him anything and he knows it, its impressive. And you can feel his passion for nature. Also regading our comfort Jumbe took care of us and was always available to make any wish come true. Patient and with a smile, relaxed and happy, Jumbe is the perfect guide to fall in love with Africa.

An unforgettable safari with an exceptional guide
Our safari with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris was absolutely extraordinary, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Jumbe.
From the beginning, everything was very well organised and we always felt that we were in good hands. Jumbe was extremely friendly, helpful, attentive and caring throughout the entire trip. He is also an excellent and very safe driver, which is particularly important when spending long days on safari and travelling between parks.
What impressed us most was his incredible ability to find wildlife. He clearly knows the parks, the animals and their behaviour extremely well. Thanks to him, we had some truly unforgettable sightings. We managed to see the Big Five as well as the Ugly Five. In just four days, we saw an incredible 22 lions, including two beautiful cubs, two leopards and even black rhinos.
Jumbe always made an extra effort to give us the best possible experience, while never making us feel rushed. He was patient, knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic every time we spotted something special.
The whole experience exceeded our expectations. The service, reliability, organisation and value for money were excellent, but having Jumbe as our guide made the safari particularly memorable.
I would highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, and if you have the opportunity to have Jumbe as your guide, you will be very lucky. An amazing experience that we will never forget.

Un forgettable experience
It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a truly memorable safari. The safari was very budget-friendly and offered excellent value for money.
When we planned our safari, we did not have any contacts in Kenya. We asked our friends for recommendations and received contacts of several safari operators. One of my friends recommended Extra Miles to us. After comparing the prices and packages offered by different operators, Extra Miles provided the best price without compromising on the quality or enjoyment of the experience.
The Extra Miles team was very responsive and professional throughout our trip. Mr. Simon was our main point of contact, and he was such a kind and helpful person. He gave us a warm welcome in Kenya and arranged our entire journey smoothly, without any delays or difficulties.
Mr. Eric was our tour guide, and he was very experienced, friendly, and responsible. He took care of every aspect of our safari and managed the schedule and time very efficiently. He always tried his best to make sure we enjoyed the safari to the fullest and explained everything very well throughout the trip.
It was also my birthday while I was in Kenya, and Simon and Eric arranged a surprise birthday celebration for me in Maasai Mara. It was truly an unforgettable and once-in-a-lifetime experience that made the trip even more special.
A big thank you to the entire Extra Miles team for making our Kenya safari such a wonderful, memorable, and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Extra Miles to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

Extremely knowledgeable with the land and wildlife, and a fun person to be around!
Our trip to the Serengeti and the surrounding landscape was nothing short of incredible and spectacular! It is definitely one of the best trips I’ve ever went on in my life and was absolutely worth it. The chance to see so many charismatic species of wildlife roaming freely throughout the East African savannah is memories that I will treasure forever. Emmanuel, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the various species that call this ecosystem home and we knew we were in good hands no matter what situation we were in. Plus, he has shown to be a fun and great person to be around who we would definitely have as our guide again. Service, whether it included housing, eating, and more was top notch and we definitely felt comfortable through the entire trip. We would absolutely recommend Greyjoy Safari Adventures to anybody who wishes to experience a once in a lifetime journey to one of the most pristine wilderness areas in the world.

Incredible
We had the most amazing experience on safari. Our tour guide Nuhu was incredible. He had so much knowledge about the animals and how they move around the park. His eye sight was unbelievable, he spotted the lions through paw print across a round and his instincts were always right. We had seen lions within 10mins of arriving!!!
I truly believe our trip was great because of Nuhu and his passion for the animals and enjoying being on the safari. Highly recommended!!

Thank you, Josef!
Dallas Africa Safaris delivered an outstanding experience from start to finish. The organization was seamless, the vehicle comfortable, and the overall service professional and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-run safari in Tanzania!
Josef was exceptional as both our guide and driver. His knowledge of the wildlife, parks, and local environment was impressive—he spotted animals we would have completely missed and shared fascinating insights that made every game drive more meaningful. He drove safely and skillfully on all types of terrain, kept us comfortable throughout, and was always attentive, patient, and good-humored. Josef’s professionalism and genuine passion turned a great safari into an unforgettable one. Thank you, Josef!

AN UNFORGETTABLE SAFARI WITH SAFARI SOLES
An unforgettable Migration Safari with Safari Soles - that's what it was in a single line
We just returned from an August migration safari with Safari Soles across the Masai Mara and Serengeti, and it was hands-down one of the best trips of our lives. Every part of it from the guides, to the camps, to the sightings came together perfectly.
The guides were the heart of this trip. In the Masai Mara, Elias was outstanding, sharp instincts for tracking, deep knowledge of the ecosystem, and an ability to read the land that led us straight to incredible Big 5 sightings and a front-row seat to one of the best sunset in Masai Mara. In the Serengeti, Eliis carried 100X energy and expertise, and somehow managed to find us not one, not two, but three leopard sightings, something even seasoned safari-goers say is a rare feat given how elusive leopards usually are. He was also super driven and enthusiast giving us a front-row seat to a lioness hunting wildebeest and the great migration. Both guides were patient, personable, and clearly passionate about what they do, which made every game drive feel special.
The camps were excellent throughout. In the Masai Mara, we stayed at Enkakenya Camp, which was comfortable and beautifully located. In the Serengeti, we moved between Mbuni, Sero, Kiriche, and Angata Ngongotogoro camps where each one offered something a little different, but all were well-run, comfortable, and had attentive, friendly staff who made us feel completely taken care of after long days out in the bush.
Safari Soles handled every logistical detail, transfers between camps, timing around the migration, park permits flawlessly, letting us just focus on soaking it all in.
If you're planning a Masai Mara or Serengeti safari, especially during migration season, I can't recommend Safari Soles enough and oh! ask for Elias and Eliis if you can. This was a trip we'll never forget
