Great Safari Experience
Our 2-day Ngorongoro safari was an incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was seamless, from the airport pickup to the transfer back to Arusha.
Our guide was fantastic—friendly, highly experienced, and clearly knew the park inside and out. Thanks to his expertise, we saw an amazing variety of wildlife, and he always managed to get us into the best viewing positions ahead of the other vehicles. One of the absolute highlights was witnessing a lion actively hunting, which was an unforgettable experience and something we'll never forget.
The entire trip was well organized, stress-free, and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this safari and especially our guide to anyone looking for an exceptional wildlife experience in Tanzania!

Perfect
We spent nine absolutely unforgettable days thanks to Hadzabe Safari, who took care of everything with remarkable professionalism: a French-speaking guide, park entrance tickets, reservations for the exceptional accommodations we had carefully selected with Herman, delicious meals… Everything was perfectly organized.
Our itinerary was exceptional: the vast plains of the Serengeti, the impressive Ngorongoro Crater, a trek in Arusha National Park accompanied by a ranger, discovering the waterfall and village of Materuni in a warm and authentic atmosphere, the incredible concentration of elephants in Tarangire National Park, and then the magnificent forest of Lake Manyara. All of this without any stress, thanks to the best guide: Nickson!
Herman prepared a tailor-made program for us, advised us with great kindness, and was available, reassuring, and attentive both before departure and throughout the entire trip. He ensured that everything ran perfectly at every stage.
As for Nickson, he was an exceptional guide. Passionate, experienced, and always in good spirits, he shared invaluable knowledge about the local flora and fauna, while also allowing us to witness some spectacular scenes. Thanks to him, we had the chance to see the Big Five and many other animals, and we left with memories that will last a lifetime.
A huge thank you to Herman, Nickson, and the entire Hadzabe Safari team who made our dream a reality. We wholeheartedly recommend this agency!

Rainbow after a rainy day, very caring, kind and friendly.
Our tour guide Lawrence was exceptional. He was not just our driver but companion on our safari trip. The long drives were entertaining, educational and full of unforgettable memories. We learned not just about animals but also about Kenyan culture. We were well looked after, in particular one day I was feeling the hot sun on my window and Lawrence like a hero saved the day with window shades to block out the sun. We saw the big 5 and each encounter was magical. I would highly recommend Lake Naivasha Sopa, it was our favourite resort by far, animals roaming freely around the resort, opening the curtains to zebra and giraffe outside your window was breathtaking. Mornings were chilly so light jackets are a must, evenings are warmer, stay hydrated! Lawrence had fresh water always in supply, we were pleasantly surprised at Lawrence’s vast knowledge of the animals and landscapes and history of many places we visited. Service was phenomenal, the value for money was incredible. Lawrence always had us parked close enough so we could get the best angles for photos, he even predicted the path of a Lion so we could be the first to and closest to it for photos! The best food we had was undoubtedly at Ziwu Bush Lodge. We were collected at the airport and dropped off at the airport once our tour was finished, we were looked after every step of the way. I would like to highlight my girlfriend fell slightly ill with a sore throat and by the time we had reached the Resort that day, the resort doctor was already on site(courtesy of Lawrence’s attentiveness and care) to call ahead. We never once felt in danger and Lawrence seemed to know everyone, we felt like VIP’s. My group of 3 friends and I, were comfortable throughout the drives and we all highly recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris, and especially Lawrence as a guide, I hope this review helps everyone interested in visiting Kenya and taking the journey through the surreal and incredible safari experience.

Beautiful nature experience
We have been on a mobile safari in Botswana, what was our best nature experience so far. You get really close to the animals - at the game drives and at the campsite. But you´re always safe! The safari was well organized by the operator, we even had the possibility to customize our route. All the staff was very friendly and caring. We had a wonderful time out there in Chobe and Okavango Delta - thank you!

An unforgettable 7-day safari with an exceptional guide!
We had an amazing 7-day safari covering Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and the Maasai Mara, and it exceeded all our expectations. I travelled with my mother, and the entire trip was comfortable, well-organized, and truly memorable.
A special thanks to our guide, Yasin, who made the experience exceptional. He is an excellent driver, incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife, and always went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible safari. He patiently answered all our questions, shared fascinating insights about the animals and parks, and constantly communicated with other guides to maximize our sightings.
Thanks to his expertise, we saw all of the major animals we had hoped for. The absolute highlight was witnessing the Great Migration river crossing in the Maasai Mara, the very reason we planned our trip in July. We were incredibly fortunate to watch the crossing privately, with no one around us, making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we’ll never forget.
What impressed us even more was Yasin’s flexibility. He adjusted the itinerary and daily timings according to our comfort, suggested better ways to plan certain activities, and ensured we never felt rushed. His experience helped us make the most of every destination while keeping the journey relaxed and enjoyable.
The safari vehicle was also excellent, comfortable, spacious, clean, and perfect for long drives as well as game viewing.
A big thank you as well to Winnie from the sales team. From the very beginning, she was patient, responsive, and understanding. She addressed all our questions and concerns promptly, provided clear explanations, and made the booking process smooth and stress-free.
Overall, this was a perfectly organized safari with outstanding service from start to finish. I would highly recommend axis to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. Thank you, Yasin and Winnie, for making this such an unforgettable experience!

Steve and Landmark Expeditions showed us great hospitality and adventure in the most beautiful place
From the first morning of the safari, we greeted with such welcome and care! Steve from Landmark Expeditions showed us the most amazing places and we could all appreciated his great extent of knowledge and love for Safari! By the end of the trip I was incredibly sad to leave my seat in the Safari vehicle for the last time. Our Landmark Expedition itinerary included several different lodges and camps that I loved each time. One included an amazing view of Mount Kilimanjaro, one awed me with a family of elephants outside our window, and all were above and beyond hospitable with delicious meals without fail!! Everyday we saw an animal doing something new, a new landscape and learned so much. Huge thank you to Steve and Landmark Expeditions for an incredible adventure!!!

Above and beyond expectations!
I went on Safari with Jocky tours for my 60th birthday and my guides Francis and Jimmy made the experience really special.
Francis was out guide from Nairobi to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. He made sure we were able to see all the animals we wanted to see while in this safari. He was amazing at driving to the best spots in the park and getting to the best angles where we could really see and photograph the animals. He seemed really well liked by the other guides and had a cheeky way to get the best for us. He was also very funny and friendly and made us all feel very happy in the tour. We were sad to leave Francis for our next stop in Amboseli but Jimmy made the transfer very nice and easy.
Jimmy is a very calm presence and was a wonderful guide for Amboseli. He showed us so many families of elephants up close. He really knew where to find them! He was also very unfazed with passenger demands and spent lots of time making sure photographs of birds could be taken.
I had a wonderful trip with Jocky tours and would highly recommend them!

We recommend them! Super professionnal company. Answer every questions very clearly and quickly.
What an amazing trip that was!
We booked a trip of 14 days that took place in both Kenya and Tanzania and we enjoyed it all the way.
From the beginning with Henry from Josero tours the communication was perfect. Every questions we had was answered very quickly.
During the tour our 2 guides (David in Kenya and Thomas in Tanzania) were just the best. They had great knowledge of the parks, the wildlife, the culture ... and they were very good at giving us the best photo spots. They were very caring of our needs and always made sure we were okay and confortable.
Every accommodations were also good choices. The food was always great, the rooms were nice and every staff members made us feel welcomed.
We were lucky enough to see the big 5 and had so many special moments that are now going to be carved into our memories forever.
P.S. : Be prepared for a very bumpy ride hahahah
