Professional and straightforward
Absolutely wonderful service from axis. From the very beginning the communication was very fast and informative, Lennox answered all my questions and helped me along the way with advice which I appreciated a lot. My guides were fantastic Richard and Albert. They are very knowledgeable about the wildlife and surroundings and I learnt a lot from them, both are polite and a fun to be around and the group I was with for the safari were wonderful. As a solo traveller this made a big difference, after all I spent 4 days in total with this group so I'm thankful it was a fun and friendly mixed group of travellers. Much respect to the guides for their skills and efforts. I left the safari having seen the big 5 plus all others! So 5 stars!

Great experience!
My experience (went two times with Green Hippo) is great! We could just tell them what we wanted to do and they arranged it perfectly for us. Our very own personal tour. The comminications were very fast and on point.
The tour itself was amazing. We got the most wonderful driver. He knew everything about the animals and the history of the parks. My sister is a birdwatcher and Green Hippo provided us a driver who knows everything about birds. Great experience!
The parkfees in Tanzania are expensive but totally worth it. They have a lot of rangers who keep the parks save for the animals aswell for the tourists. There are not many people in the parks so you really have the feeling that you’re alone in the world. It was just wonderful.
P.s. Book a night in a tent in a Safari park. Its amazing, the animals walk just around your tent

Great experience & memorable trip
My family of 3 booked a bush/beach vacation to Kenya with SATS. From the moment we made contact with the team to the time we returned from Nairobi, SATS made sure we had a great experience.
The team in the office was prompt and responsive with our reservation while being mindful of the time difference. They provided several options that allowed us to pick the best program for my family.
Upon arrival at JKIA, we were met by George who was our guide while in Nairobi. He was amazing, always on time with a smile ready to get us to our destinations per the program.
Our visit also included a 3 day detour to Kisumu. In Kisumu, we were met by Richard who anticipated all our needs while we were in that area. He did a great job connecting with the family.
We transitioned Mara where SATS connected us with the team at Sanctuary Olanana as we continued to enjoy one of the best Mara tours we've had so far.
The transition from Mara to Diani was seemless as well. They had recommended relaxation at Sands at Nomads which did not disappoint.
Our international flight was rescheduled to leave a day earlier than anticipated. The team at SATS was able to arrange for our covid test to be done at the hotel before we left Diani.
Overall, Silver Africa and Tours met and exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for high end, personalized customer service, I highly recommend SATS.
Thank you Mr. Odek and team for an amazing Kenyan vacation. We will definitely return.

personal aproach and great guidance before and during the safari tour.
From the moment we were gathering info about a possible safari trip untill the end it was great. Good advice about the different possibilities, lovely guides and cook, Sele and Isack, and safe driving.
We had a four days safari, including camping on public campsides where the animals literally grased around the tents at night. Sele, the guide took all the time and was a safe driver and pleasant company just like Isack who joined us as the cook.
Unfortunately due to circumstances one of our group was not able to come. Even during the safari, Emma, the operator, managed to refund all the charges of entree fees.
Love to come back.

Incredible, professional and attentive!
After searching on the internet for a good, reputable tour provider, we were very pleased to find Lenchada safaris. We booked the tour last minute and from the onset- Alex was very helpful, providing us with all of the information and different tour options. We decided on the 7 days safari starting in Nairobi and finishing in Amboseli.
During the tour we had two guides- Joseph for the first few days in the Masai Mara and then James for the remaining 4 days. Both guides were fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about their jobs. They were confidently able to answer all questions and provide us with a first class tour. This was my first safari and I can honestly say it was brilliant! It had been on my bucket list forever and I was so happy that we could see all of the big 5 and more!
Joseph and James made the tour for us! They really couldn’t do enough and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time and a memorable experience!
They are a credit to your company!
I also would like to say a huge thank you to Sammy- our driver in Nairobi. After accidentally leaving my coat in the car, he facilitated getting it back to me! Thank you for that!
The accomodations were all great, rooms/tents with private bathrooms and there was a good variety of food-even for vegetarians.
Our highlights were seeing the Rhinos, Lions and the boat ride to see the hippos!
We are extremely pleased with the tour and feel it is excellent value for money. We will certainly recommend it to our friends and family! Thanks again!

Fabulous experience! From perfect organization to perfect execution.
Dates, flights, accommodation, food, itinerary was all just a seamless trip.
The office was always in touch with us, rocksteady to adjust our plans up to the last minute. Driver was always able and willing to stop and present you to amazing mother nature wonders. Extraordinary sceneries, wild animals and great local people.
Jungle dwellers offers you beyond value for your money. I highly recommend it.

very responsible and professional operator
We took a safari for 3 days in Masai Mara. We were met at the hotel in the morning in Nairobi and taken to the park. The check-in was in tents and it was just super and very unusual. The scarves have everything you need, shower, hot water, toilet, sink, table and chairs. There were 2 comfortable beds on which to sleep at night to the sounds of nature was one pleasure. On the very first day there was a small evening safari on which we saw many animals. The next day was spent in the car, we managed to see 3 of the 5 main animals of the savannah. Our guide, Castro, was very responsible and always tried to be the first to arrive at a new animal and find the hiding one. Even on the way back, Castro still tried to find the cheetah to show us. There was also a great lunch on the river bank overlooking the hippos. Would definitely recommend this tour operator to everyone and this is a safari.

amazing experience feeling in safe always
Amazing Safari and food!! Mandela from Arusha, our guide and Salim from Mto Wa Mbo, our Cook were fantastic, very helpful, kind and gentleman! Mandela seemed to be the best guide in Savanna, educated and explaining a lot of things, not running too much as orhers. Salim is just amazing, I gained some kg on the Safari.
Next time I want to go with them again!
We had also airport transfer and hotel for the night before and after included.
The first day Mr.T. came to pick us up on the airport. He offered some programs for our first empty day, so we went to a beautiful Waterfall at Kilimamjaro.
We felt always IN SAFE, which is very important for us, and they helped us in everything, we could also trust them thus they are very transparent and try to offer cheapest and best solutions (e.g. money change and local SIM card purchase)
We are very satisfied and happy! Very good value for the price!! Please calculate with some tips, they really deserve it!

Our safari specialist always confirm with us wether evberything is okay or not. We saw all types of big five and a lot of birds. We would love to go back again with Kennedy and plan with Jong. They are the best!
