Excellent safari with fantastic guide
We were slightly nervous booking online and sending money across but we 100% made the best choice with KASC.
The booking process was smooth and simple and we were provided full information on the itinerary.
Our guide Gasper was superb. So knowledgeable and brilliant at finding all the animals. We felt bad for falling asleep on him as we were both worn out from Kilimanjaro lol.
We went to tarangire National park, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti and lake Manyara. I’d probably skip lake Manyara as after the other 3 it wasn’t really necessary.
Our lodgings were fabulous, staying at Eileen’s trees in and the Serengeti heritage luxury tented camp.
Would definitely use KASC again. Fantastic company from start to finish

The Safari was absolutely amazing, but the company needs to work on some points still.
Kameraz of Africa was incredibly quick to respond to emails. They put together a package for us exactly according to our wishes. The safari was absolutely magical and the accommodations we had booked were very good. Our driver was nice and very good at his job. He knew what he was doing and where he was going. We wished he would have told us more and interacted more. He was more of a driver than a guide. He was unfortunately a lot on his phone and did not pay attention when we tried to talk to him and ask him to stop because we wanted to take pictures. We often had to stand and wait for the driver as he was late in the mornings. The first day he was late for over 1 hour.
We were very disappointed that we didn’t get informed about the new rules of the park that affected our schedule.
When we booked we were given a schedule of what our days would look like and after seeing the schedule we confirmed the booking and paid accordingly. On the evening before our last day, the driver told us that we would be heading back to Nairobi in the morning. While we thought we were going on our last game drive as it was the one we had in our schedule and booked.
Apparently, the park's fees have changed and we had not been informed about this before. So we were very disappointed. And when we took this up with the company, they just blamed "the government and park authorities". They didn't take responsibility for what they could have done for us, or apologize for not informing us. It felt like they couldn't understand our disappointment of missing a half day safari. Before this, we received a very good treatment.
The experience during the safari was so fantastic that it outweighed our vacation. Would give Kameraz of Africa a rating of 3,5.

A wonderful experience that will be unforgettable!
I can not express enough how wonderful our time was with Johnson as our guide from Lion Rider Tours. During our tour Johnson was always professional and kind. He took us on an amazing journey providing us knowledge not only of the animals but of the vibrant history of Kenya. Every drive was full of excitement and the joy of seeing and experiencing the beauty of the animals that call the Masai Mara home and the people of the Massai tribe that have lived on these lands for many years. Johnson and his team really took care of us and we can not thank him enough for the kindness that was shown to us along the way. We encourage you to choose Lion Rider Tours for your next big adventure at any of the many national parks that cover Kenya and more.

Simply the best
Our second tour, now in South-Africa, organized by Five Stars Tours & Safaris, was of the same service quality as our last year's trip to Namibia and Botswana. Mandy is really good at understanding the wishes of her customers during the planning of the trip, as well as during the trip itself. To have our second Africa trip organized by her is best proof of her excellent service.

Customer Oriented, prompt communication, great after service
Patricia was very prompt in her communication and answered all my questions patiently. Gave me the confidence to book with her. She made sure all my needs were addressed to and delivered on what she promised. Every day, she called in the evening during the tour to check that everything is all right. There were some delays due to the driver (not her fault), but she offered a free Airport drop from Nairobi to compensate for the delay. In all, a great person whom you can trust and rely on in a foreign land.

We had an amazing safari experience, fast replies, detailed descriptions of animals and welcoming
We loved our 10 day safari starting in Kenya to Tanzania with Beast Spoor Safaris. Eddy our guide was amazing, he was so friendly and accommodating, any questions we had about the animals or wildlife he knew all the information. The staff met us on the first day and any queries we had they messaged back in minutes. Crossing the border was super easy and they had a staff member waiting for us. Everything on the intinerary was 100% what we got. I highly recommend this tour and the tour guide Eddy! Our contact person Kelvin was very helpful and prompt in responding to our queries. I would recommend this company to everyone who is planning on going to a safari.

Amazing safari experience
We started our journey from Germany and booked package from this operator, we had an amazing experience with safaris and stays also we got David as our guide who was really knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Although all stays organized by the operator was really awesome, I would recommend to upgrade stay in Amboseli to next level because your experience will be really upgraded(food) if you do so :)
I would rate 10/10 to our guide/host David,
and 9/10 to our travel operator(considering Amboseli s afternoon food package and stay).

One of the best experience
We were really excited to see Masai Mara and decided to opt for this company after reading all the reviews. We were given the best tour guide David. First two days we stayed in Nairobi and explored the city. David was kind enough to give us a lot of information about the city and it’ s culture. Later we started the safari and were mesmerized to see all the big 5 of Masai Mara on the first day itself. We had wonderful conversations with David, who was always full of energy to show us more of Masai Mara and explain about the animals. The stays provided by the company were excellent and David took real good care of us.

Good experience
We went on a 3 day 2 night Safari to Masai Mara.
Our driver Solomon was a very capable driver who was prompt, kept us on schedule and maneuvered to get us close to see all of the animals. We saw the big 5 thanks to his skills. We got stuck in the mud and through hard work he was able to get us out.
The reason we give 4 stars is because we felt we were not provide much information about Masai Mara (historical and present day) neither the towns we drove through. We saw animals but didn't feel like we learned much. Also, we informed Axis that we had two big suitcases as we were concerned if they would fit in the Jeep. They indicated that they should fit in the Jeep. When we arrived they informed us that the suitcases couldn't fit. We had to scramble to repack our things into our hand luggage in the tiny room in their office and then leave our big suitcases there.
Lastly I recommend providing a tip sheet so persons are better prepared. For example masks for the dust, motion sickness needs for the very bumpy roads etc.
We stayed at Enkorok camp which we review separately from Axis which we found to have exceptional service.
