Amazing safari!
The tour actually exceeded my expectations! Our guide Kikitu was so well informed about the Maasai Mara inhabitants and routes, he could manoeuvre the nasty potholes like a pro! We were the ones helping other drivers who got stuck. We saw a lot of animals except the Leopard which did not want our intrusion, all in all, the trip was worth it and Kikitu provided a great atmosphere so much that the whole team was chatty and friendly to each other. The organisation was great, I would highly recommend them :)

Beyond My Wildest Expectations
15 days on a family safari in Tanzania was the most unique and breathtaking experience I've had in my 65 years.
This trip was fantastic in every way. It was packed with information yet never seemed rushed. The game drives and guides were excellent, giving us plenty of possibilities to admire Africa, its splendor, and all the amazing animals. It was also a cultural immersion event that gave me a better understanding and appreciation for Tanzania.
In every way, my family and I enjoyed every minute of our Tanzania safari with Meijo Safaris. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of activities available. We loved the game drives and getting up close and personal with the animals, especially the Big 5, which we will never forget. Similarly, the Maasai Village experience wowed us, and walking around Lake Natron was a lot of fun. Our entire itinerary, including our guide, driver, transportation, lodging, meals, and activities, exceeded our expectations.

Exceeded expectation in EVERYWAY‼️‼️
I found Axis on safari booking.com. They had so many different tour packages, seemed very flexible and similar to what I was looking for.
Every step of the way from the pre departure coordination to the pick up to the tour itself. Just like I mentioned in the title, my whole 5 day safari tour package has just exceeded my expectations on every way. My plans changed a couple times to the number of people to the date and type of safari. In the end I traveled as a solo female traveler, I had a lot of doubts and was nervous about so many things first time to Kenya, in the end A Huge Thanks to Lennox, Sylvia and mostly our amazing tour guide and driver Jimmy for the most incredible experience of a LIFETIME‼️‼️‼️

Archie was very easy to contact and was able to fulfil all of the things I wanted to do in Africa.
After booking my tour with Africa Uncovered 8 months prior to my trip, Archie was incredibly helpful in supporting and answering any questions I had.
I did a 7 day tour of Victoria Falls, Chobe and Hwange national park. Cosmas and Jafara were on hand straight away at the airport and they were my guides for the trip. Although they didn’t do any of the guiding for the actual tours I went on, they were there for anything I needed, drove me around to each destination and were amazing company during meal times.
The team were great at organising excursions. I had a walking tour of Victoria falls, a helicopter tour - 100% worth every penny, a visit to the elephant orphanage - personally I wouldn’t go back as wasn’t the natural authentic experience I was hoping for, I went on the jet boat - although this was cool to see the falls from below, there wasn’t much ‘jet boating’, and did a gorge swing which was terrifying but great. Next time I’d try out one of the activities on the Victoria falls bridge. A really highlight was the evening sunset dinner cruise along the Zambezi. Pure Africa was the boat Archie booked me into and they were incredible!
I also got the chance to experience Boma. This is a great place for dinner where African culture really comes to life - think traditional food, dancing and drumming!
Then I headed to Chobe national park in Botswana. Make sure you get a dual visa if doing this trip as you will head back into Zimbabwe after. I went on an afternoon river safari which was amazing - all the hippos, birds and elephants were about.
The next day I had 2 game drives in the park, one at sunrise and one in the afternoon. Chobe is pretty small so you’re guaranteed to see all the animals when cruising around. The elephants were a particular highlight for me. Seeing them
With they babies playing in the water was magical. I was booked into the Kwalape safari lodge. As there were lots of other big groups, the hotel put on a show from local dancers which was amazing!
I then headed to Hwange, a 3-4 hour drive from Chobe back into Zimbabwe. We stopped off at the painted dogs conservation where I learned all about the amazing work locals are doing to try and stop poachers from killing this beautiful species. I then had the privilege of visiting the homestead of a local family in the village. They welcomed me so beautifully, showed me their home, their crops, they demonstrated how they cook, create their houses, they got all the animals around - it was a time I will remember.
In Hwange I stayed at the Miombo safari lodge. Beautiful setting with a huge water hole in the middle to encourage animals at night and boy did they come! Elephants can each evening and kudus also came to get some water.
The next day I did a 10 hour game drive in Hwange national park - what a place! We didn’t even touch the sides but it was amazing to see the different vegetation and species. I was lucky enough to see everything I wanted: zebra, giraffe, lions, leopard, kudu, eland, elephants galore, impala, zazu birds, hippos and birds galore!
I went home a very happy lady!
One thing to consider when booking these holidays is the price of things. Zimbabwe is much more expensive than Botswana. That includes food, drink, tipping etc.

Excellent Experience
This was a great experience overall. I had a 3 night Safari of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and was split between 2 groups as I moved locations. This wasn’t an issue and both guides were great and I would recommend both (Kikitu and Richard). I saw lots of animals, met great people, ate authentic Kenyan cuisine and felt 100% comfortable alone and would recommend this to any of my friends looking for a fun Safari at a reasonable price.

The contact with Emma was super and very clear. We are from Belgium ourselves so it was very easy to
It was a safari to remember. Our guide, Sele, was a super guide. He let see as many animals as possible and also had a lot of information about everything. He did everything he could to make our experience complete. We were also more than satisfied with our cook. He was a very sweet man and could cook like the best. This organization is definitely recommended!
