An exceptional experience
Thanks to Axis Safari, we had a truly unforgettable experience. The team is professional, responsive and answers all your questions. Everything is super well organized, you don't have to worry about it. The organization is well established between transfers, stops, accommodation, food etc. The price / quality ratio is top. We did 3 days in Massai Mara and saw 4/5 of the Big Five but honestly we saw so many amazing things. It was just magic ... Plus there is real team monitoring, before / during and after the trip to make sure everything is going the way we want it to. Thanks to Axis who made a dream come true!

Friendly and knowledgeable
I have travelled twice with Daniel Shamba from Epic Africa as my guide and would gladly hire him again. Daniel was able to tailor our trip to our needs and take us to all sorts of amazing destinations. We hired him to help us with a professional photography trip and he always delivered, negotiating great prices, keeping us safe and offering one of a kind experiences. He also took us on more traditional tourist attractions in Tanzania like safaris which we quite enjoyed. I would not hesitate to explore Tanzania with Epic Africa again or recommend them to others. Thanks Dani! :)

Very responsive and great customer service
Paul was very attentive during our communcations by email. I asked for a lot of info upfront and he was always happy to reply quickly with good advices. They were very flexible and taylored the itinerary of our trip as we wanted.
I did a 10-day safari trip with my new-wed. Our driver James was very kind and respectful. He knew all the reserves by heart and could find animals swiftly. We saw the big 5 thanks to his good game-tracing skills. He knew how ro fulfil tourists needs and also let us some space when we needed it. His driving skills were excellent, we never felt unsafe.
I really recommend Roadside Expeditions.

Simply fantastic! And I'm not saying it just to say it, but it's pure reality!
Our journey began amid a thousand doubts and indecisions due, unfortunately, to the pandemic. But everything turned into magic when we relied on Stanza and his agency. People devoted to their work who make you experience the essence of Botswana at 360 degrees.
Thanks for everything, you made us richer inside ...
see you soon Marco Gemma Diego and Agata

Look no further to choose your safari operator! Ben and his team are very professional!
We came back with a lot of great memories that will last our lifetime. Many thanks to Ben who made our dream vacation come true! We were supposed to travel last August (2020) with a different company in which we ultimately had to cancel because of the pandemic. We were desperate for a legitimate safari operator after our bad experience with the company called “Wildebeests Safaris”. We still have not been refunded for the service we did not receive. However, we were lucky that we have found Ben and were very happy that we chose his company! Ben was very patient throughout the booking process and answered countless questions mainly of the current travel restrictions associated with COVID. The quote he provided us with was very easy to read and it was precisely laid out with breakdown expenses. He also helped us customize our itinerary and gave us extensive discounts on tented camps including a complimentary stay at the Researches Rest in Arusha. We really enjoyed our stay there. Eddie cooked a home style meal for us and and he told us an interesting story about the lodge.
We wanted to focus our trip on the river crossing of the wildebeests so Ben recommended us to stay three nights in the Northern circuit of Serengeti and three nights in Maasai Mara. We could see the river crossing six times on our first day in Serengeti! Vultures and eagles were circling around in the sky waiting for the wildebeests and zebras to get killed by predators. We also saw a lot of wildlife including lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, warthogs, antelopes, birds, storks, vultures, eagles, and many more…! We could see everything we had hoped for.
In Tarangire, we could find three climbing lionesses on one tree. Young male cubs were roaming right by us. We were very satisfied with the number of times we saw lions close up. We saw many “honeymooners” in Serengeti and Maasai Mara. We did not see this many in South Africa six years ago.
Most importantly, all of our guides were fantastic! We couldn’t have great safari experience without them. We had three guides during our 18 day trip to Kenya and Tanzania. All of them were experienced, intelligent, passionate, and knowledgeable about the wildlife. They can spot animals that no one else can. Simon was a very friendly and outgoing guide who was great to spend time together. He sensed immediately a coalition of cheetahs that were chasing after a gazelle. We could video the dramatic scene of the kill. He also knew that a massive number of elephants were coming towards us so we made a stop to see the elephants crossing the road in front of our vehicle.
Eli was our guide in Tanzania. Not only is he an excellent guide, but also is a very good driver. He was driving careful for us on the rough terrain because my partner had a back and abdominal pain from a surgery two years ago. What we were amazed by his skills was how he could quickly spotted animals. He was also patient until we finally saw the wildebeests started come down the river and we were the first one to see the entire scene of the river crossing! He was able to show us and told names of a unique and diverse flora and fauna in the area.
Mike was our guide in Maasai Mara. He was also skilled in spotting animals. We found more lions in Maasai Mara than any other places! He made sure that we received our negative COVID test results on time for our next destination. He recommended us to visit Lake Nakuru and Samburu next time to see some animals we didn’t see on this trip.
We highly recommend Ben and his team for booking your East Africa vacation. We will definitely book with ETrip again!

Amazing safari experience with a great guide and a good itenary
I booked a 6 days/5 nights safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara for my parents and me. From the beginning, staff of African Big Cats Safaris was very helpful and tried to find the best itenary for our expectations. For any request we had they had a solution and when we were in need of any information they provided us with that information quickly.
When it comes to the Safari itself, we had the best experience we could imagine. From the pick up at Kilimanjaro Airport to the end, we enjoyed a well organized, smooth and informative trip. Our guide was not only a driver but an expert in explaining flora and fauna of the different national parks we went to as well as a very open person that also liked to talk about other topics beyond the aforementioned.
After all that pandemic issues, it was a much-needed distraction. At all times, we felt very comfortable, especially, again, thanks to our professional and attentive guide.
Thank you very much!

Wonderful Tour Operator
It's hard to put into words exactly how incredible Lion King Adventures is. I had originally planned our safari for 2020, but had to cancel due to the COVID pandemic. Pendo was so lovely during the initial trip planning and the rescheduling for 2021. In fact, we had to adjust our dates a few times to accommodate travel in other countries and she was quick to respond and very thorough. She made planning this portion of our trip a breeze!
Once we arrived, our guide Richard was wonderful. He picked us up from the airport and was with us for the next week! We saw so many animals. Richard instantly knew every animal including the hundreds of different birds we saw! He also spotted so many animals that we would have never seen. With his help we saw all of the big 5 plus so many more. He was also able to answer all of our questions about the animals. I truly cannot say enough good things about his guidance or about the trip.
I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures for a safari.
