Unforgettable 5-Day Safari Across the Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro with Bavuma!
My wife and I recently wrapped up an absolute dream honeymoon of a 5-day safari with Bavuma WildQuest across Kenya and Tanzania, and it exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, the entire journey was seamless, beautifully organized, and packed with incredible wildlife moments.
Flawless Travel & Logistics
The team handled every single transition flawlessly. Booking domestic flights from Wilson into the Masai Mara and over to the Serengeti saved us hours of rough driving and allowed us to maximize our time on game drives. Our private 4x4 Land Cruiser was comfortable, pristine, and perfectly set up for viewing and photographing wildlife from the pop-up roof.
Outstanding Accommodations & Hospitality
Both Little Zebra River Camp and Pori Pori Camp provided the perfect balance of authentic bush living and incredible comfort. The tented setups were stunning, the food was delicious at every meal, and the hospitality from the staff was warm and attentive throughout. They even surprised us with a complimentary honeymoon package and a wonderful sundowner setup in the Serengeti—watching the sun drop over the plains with a cold drink in hand was pure magic.
Unmatched Wildlife & Expertise
From tracking big cats in the Masai Mara to exploring the vast Serengeti plains, taking to the skies in a hot air balloon, and descending into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, the game viewing was world-class. Our guide’s knowledge, eye for spotting game, and dedication to giving us the best possible experience made all the difference.
If you are looking for a top-tier, stress-free private safari experience in East Africa, I cannot recommend Bavuma WildQuest enough. We're leaving with memories (and photos!) that will last a lifetime.

Genuine and stunning
The experience with Nkollo was simply perfect. Annie, our contact person, was very helpful in accommodating our requests and making sure that the vacation went smoothly.
Our guide, Micheal, was always smiling, helpful, and ready to fulfill our wishes and answer our curiosities; he made us feel truly pampered and at home. The food was always delicious and authentic. The overnight accommodations were all nice and clean—Tukaone in the Serengeti was a crazy, immersive experience with magnificent tents and amazing food.
What can I say?
Excellent value for money for an unforgettable experience.

Awesome !!
Three amazing days! We stayed at the incredible Bastian Mikumi camp – fantastic service and beautiful surroundings.
Our guide was great; we hiked 10km to the Udzungwa waterfalls with breathtaking views!
Then we spent the morning at Mikumi National Park, which was fantastic – we saw elephants, giraffes, hippos, lions… Everything was incredibly well organized; I highly recommend it.

A Winner!
Mr. Wanderi and his team successfully coordinated our visit to Masai Mara. In the planning stages they communicated regularly and put me as the team leader at ease. Upon arrival at Masai Mara things went well with no check in or service issues. Mr. Wanderi even contacted me to inquire how we were doing. I would most certainly use Holiday Dealers again if the opportunity arises!

Perfect Trip!!
We had a wonderful classic safari and were completely satisfied! We spent two nights in tented lodges (hotel-like accommodation) and the remaining eight nights camping in a tent. The campsites were very beautiful, and each location had its own special charm. What we especially loved was hearing lions roaring at night and seeing zebras right in front of our tent in the morning.
A big thank you goes to our cook Yussuf. The food was always incredibly delicious, especially the baked treats! Even though he didn’t know in advance that there would be a vegetarian in the group, he prepared an additional tasty vegetarian dish for us every day. That was truly amazing.
The entire trip was very well organized, and communication worked perfectly. Even for last-minute questions, we always received quick responses via WhatsApp.
Our guide Isa was extremely attentive and always responded to all our wishes. He has extensive knowledge and was able to explain many interesting things about the animals and nature – all in clear and understandable English.
We were also very impressed by how he handled an unexpected breakdown: when our jeep broke down, we were quickly transferred to another vehicle while Isa took care of the repair. This allowed the safari to continue without any major interruption.
Isa also showed great respect for wildlife and always behaved responsibly toward the animals. We were actually able to see all the animals we had hoped for on our safari – including many beautiful and unforgettable encounters.
A huge thank you to the entire team for this amazing safari and the many unforgettable memories! We would book this safari again anytime and can highly recommend the team. 🌍🦁🐘

Trustful, reliable, communicative and everything according to plan ☺️
We booked everything on our own and we were a bit afraid of scams or something not going according to plan. However it was all professional and easy. Ms Zulu available 24/7 allowed us to feel safe and supported.
We did a 7-day safari with 2 kids aged 7 and 9. It was awesome. The wild camps have great facilities and we saw all the animals.
One of the guide tours even brought some beers and wine for us.
I definitely recommend the company ⭐️

Amazing Safari 🦁🇰🇪 — Great guides, incredible wildlife, Swahili music & dancing in the Mara!
Just completed an amazing safari in the Masai Mara with Axis Safari, and honestly, it was an experience I’ll never forget.
A huge shoutout to our guides, Sadam and Booh. They weren’t just great guides, they genuinely made us feel at home. From spotting animals and birds to telling us about the trees, the Mara, and the Maasai community, they made every drive interesting and memorable.
And then there were the little moments that made the trip even more special like listening to the Axis anthem and different Swahili songs in the safari car, and eventually dancing to them right there in the middle of the Mara! 😂🇰🇪
The safari was incredible, but it was the people, the music, the stories and the laughs that made it truly special.
Thank you, Sadam, Booh, Tabitha (tour operator) and the entire Axis Safari team for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend! 🦁🐆🐘🦏🐃❤️

Incredible
We had a wonderful time on Safari! Our driver Alex was amazing and thanks to him we saw & photographed so many different mammal species, including all of the big 5, incredibly close. All the national parks were beautiful and it was wonderful to see the range of landscapes and vegetation across the country. Of the lodges, Salt Lick was a definite highlight, including seeing lions from our window at night. Additionally, Rachael was incredibly helpful with planning the itinerary and making adjustments to suit our needs.
