Safari
We did the 20 day Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. (Luxury)
And the reason why i give 4 stars and not 5 is because i think some of the Hotels could be better curated. Specifically the ones in Kenya and Bwindi (Uganda), Although they were good located inside the parks, they were a bit old. Not that they were cheap hotels, they must have been luxury at some point and they still hold the price tag. But i think it is worth exploring other smaller hotel/lodges with a boutique feel "understated luxury”, more personal. You can arrange all this with Joseph, because he wants to give you the best trip possible, i am sure of that.
The drivers/guides were professional and we got along with all 3 of them. Since the longest time was spent In Uganda with Samuel, we were sad to say goodbye to him at the airport after 12 days together. Samuel is a responsible and safe driver, polite, good sense of humor, a bit shy and a great smile.
Some of the hotels are upper mid range as specified on the list from the agency, and i was told that they choose this ones (instead of the luxury option) because of location. This is true for the 1st lodge in Murchinson National park. We only wish we would have had a little time to sit down and see the sunset over the river. The game drives can be as long or short as you want so one of the afternoons make sure you are back before sunset and take 20 minutes to sit outside and enjoy the views.
In Kibale, Uganda our tip would be to do the community walk (Note that the community walk can be as short or long as you want.) that afternoon instead of the next day after the chimpanzee trek. The reason being, that after the chimpanzee trek you can drive straight to Kyaninga and arrive there early. This is a beautiful hotel where you can do a few activities at the lodge….and we thought the setting is spectacular (they will also do your laundry complimentary so make sure you give it straight away as you arrive) We manage to be there by 13:00 and jump in the lake for a short swim, then we did a walk around the crater.

An experience of a lifetime. No zoo can compare to it.
Safari in Kenya is an absolute blast.
Animals at your fingertips, nature, weather everything worked out for 1! Overnight in a hotel in the wilderness and breakfast with elephants is great.
The guide is kind, accommodating, kind, funny.
I have nothing to complain about.
I definitely recommend booking this event on Tripadvisor when traveling to Kenya!
You will not regret.
On the way back, a visit to the Maasai in their village was also an experience and an ordinary European will be in complete amazement that this is how people live today.
A truly great experience of a lifetime.

Super organized! Pls
The entire trip was simply WOW. Starting from accommodating our last minute trip, to being fetched from Pretoria instead of Joberg, to food preferences, to the actual sightings and camping facilities, they had everything under control. Excellent staff on site was an added bonus. Full ‘paisa vadool’ as they would say it in India.

Total professional for which nothing was any trouble or an issue. First class.
I was looking to do a trip to the Drakensberg and Rorke's Drift and had been let down by people who i was trying to book with. Ben took this on and at very short notice arranged bookings Car hire and accommodation for me and made my trip happen. He gave me various options that I could do and recommended a bespoke trip for me that more than met what I was looking to do. Ben enabled me to have the trip of a lifetime with memories that will stay with me forever. He also sorted me out for a short safari in Kwalata Lodge in Dinokeng Game reserve which helped wrap up a truly memorable trip.
Ben is a true professional and really knows his stuff. He is an absolute pleasure to deal with and if it can be done then he will get it sorted for you. I am looking to come out to SA again in the not-too-distant future and would not hesitate to get Ben to make my arrangements.
If you are looking to get a truly personal and unique trip don then these are definitely the guys to work with. I wasn't disappointed and I'm sure you won't be either.

Perfect safari experience
Everything went just perfect !
Guide and organisers were professional and took into consideration all our expectations.
With my fiancé we did a three days safari : Tarangire park, Manyara lake national park and Ngorongoro crater.
We absolutely loved it, we met some wonderful people and the lodge we were staying was just perfect (super friendly staff and delicious food).
I totally recommend Sirini Safari.
Can’t wait to come back and do Serengeti park with them.

Dream come true with a reliable operator
4 days safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngongoro Crater on our 20th year marriage anniversary. We opted for a private tour, and it was the best choice with plenty room in the vehicle and only managing our time. Moison our guide was excellent, and everything went according to plan. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 in one morning. The highlights were the cheetah, watching the sundown and sunrise in the Serengeti, the three lionesses with four calves right on the morning after we slept in Mawte Lodge, stopping the car, turning off the engine and just feel the vastness and lastly the sheer amount of life in the Ngonrogoro Crater. Thank you for Philemon for the organization and helping us out with our luggage setback. Only regret not opting for more safari days!

Uganda land of the primates.
Azas Safaris. The trip was well planned with excellent service and at a great price.
Uganda is a fantastic country full of surprises. We traveled primarily to see primates, but were surprised at how much more this beautiful country has to offer from stunning scenery to beautiful lakes, we managed to see much more than we ever imagined on this well planned tour with Azas Safaris.
Chris our guide was very professional and knowledgeably, he always had a best interests at heart and went that extra mile to ensure we had a great time.
Our tour included Gorilla, Chimpanzee, and Golden monkey trekking, Rhino trekking, several game drives in 3 different national parks all of which were amazing and Chris did everything he could to make sure we got to see lots of different animals, we never felt rushed.
We visited local villages, where we were made to feel very welcome, we even tried the local drink (fermented porrage) I'll leave it up to you to try, and make your own mind up. We also visited a local school and spoke with the children in class.
The accommodation was all of a decent standard and the food served was plentiful.
All in all i would definitely recommend Azas-safaris not only for its friendly and professional staff but also for the fantastic tour it put together for us.
Keep up the good work

Covered eveything from A-Z and beyond
We did a 7-day camping safari in the amazing Botswana with Rock & Tebogo and we had the the best time!!
We were sleeping in a tent in the middle of the Bush and it was incredebly safe, with a field toilet and great shower!
The guides were very informative on every espect related to the animals, the ecosystem and the srounding areas we were traveling at, adding to the above that they are great cooks and besides from eating really good food, we also had a fridge full of soft drinks, local beers and good wines.
We got every espect covered from A-Z and beyoned, the guides and team took an excellent care of us and we've seen many incredible sightings.
Before our arrival we spoke with Federica which helped us understand every little detail and made it so easy for us.
After the Safari we got many helpful recommendations from her while traveling in South Africa
Thank you so much!!!
