Choose Soul of Madagascar for an excellent tour
I booked our tour with Soul of Madagascar for the four of us. Theresia was my contact and organized everything. She was so efficient, always getting back to me quickly and providing excellent and thoughtful answers and recommendations, customizing our trip to fit what we were looking for. It made planning for our 14-day tour easy.
Our guide Joushia is my all-time favorite tour guide. He loves nature and culture and was always there to explain and answer our questions. He watched out for anything we needed. And BTW his English is perfect and we hope to see him in the States soon 😄. Our driver Ambinintsoa has a difficult job navigating city traffic and potholed roads, but he’s a careful driver that makes you feel safe on the road.
The tour included hikes in national parks, lemurs and more lemurs, Baobabs, an unforgettable 3 day 2-night river trip with tent camping on the Tsiribihina (highly recommended), a four star restaurant that you need a ferry to get to, and a day trip with a conservation project village leader in the mangroves on the west coast. Our accommodations were all nice with excellent meals — we took the half board plan.
Overall I was really impressed with Madagascar. Many more people speak English more than I expected and they are wonderful people. The food was better I than expected too. Having traveled in 54 countries, I’m very happy to recommend this tour operator and staff— they are topnotch and live up to their name; will help you glimpse the “soul of Madagascar.”

Fantastic Local Safari Tour Operator
If you are considering an African safari look no further than Serengeti Savanna Adventures; a fantastic locally owned and operated tour company that will go above and beyond your expectations. We booked a four day, three night tour that took us to the South Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater. All three locations offered something different and we saw SO MANY amazing animals and experiences. All were thanks to our incredible guide and Safari Master Mr. Gilbert who knew how to find the animals we wanted to see and was often first “on the scene” giving us prime location for photos and viewing. Gilbert was a historian, botanist, zoologist, mechanic, comedian and provided top-notch service and hospitality that made our experience truly once in a lifetime. We highly recommend Gilbert as a tour guide and Serengeti Savanna Adventures for your African safari experience. A special “Asante sana” to Mr Erick for making our dreams come true. 🙏 🦁 🐆 🦏 🦛 🦓 🐘

Aron was friendly and cared about my trip.
Aron was able to organize a very unusual itinerary : RT Bujumbara, Burundi to Gombe, Tanzania. This included 2 overland routes, border crossings and private boat trip. He paid attention to details and was flexible in adjusting the itinerary to my preferences.

Kenya Done Right, Seamless, Private, and Truly Magical
I’ve grown up watching National Geographic, Animal Planet, and Discovery, and visiting Africa had always been my biggest dream and right at the top of my bucket list. That dream couldn’t have been executed any better than as a family, with my 10-month-old, my wife, and my in-laws, by Axis Africa.
I went into this trip with no real plan, just a dream. Travelling with a 10-month-old is no joke. From the very first enquiry on WhatsApp to the prompt late-night responses by Tabitha, every concern I had was patiently addressed. A highly customised itinerary was built piece by piece, always keeping the comfort and safety of my child as the top priority.
Not only was Axis Africa incredibly prompt and meticulous in crafting our trip just one week before travel, they also turned out to be the best value for money compared to three other operators we explored, for what I would truly call an all-inclusive, exclusive, private, and safe experience. The premium stays (Curio Hilton, Sand River by Elewana, Serena Sweetwaters, Fairmont Kenya Safari Club) were exceptional, and I haven’t even gotten to the best part yet.
Our guide, Mr. Kevin Apidi.
We have travelled to quite a few places around the world, both self-driven and guided, and all I can say is this, Kenya has to be experienced via a tour operator, and this was hands down the best guided experience we’ve ever had.
Kevin was with us from day one until the very end. His large safari jeep was equipped with a car seat for my baby, and words cannot explain just how perfect he was in every way, extremely professional, exceptionally well-spoken, highly knowledgeable and informative, and most importantly, genuinely kind, accommodating, and sensitive to every situation. By the end of our nine-day trip, he felt like part of our family.
We visited Kenya during the off-season in late November, and honestly, it couldn’t have been better. It felt more exclusive and private. Cut to the chase, Kevin ensured we saw all of the Big Five up close, and even what I would call the Big Nine. My dream unfolded better than I ever imagined. No GPS, no tracking, just 16 years of experience, instinct, and hard work behind the incredible person he is. The entire experience felt nothing short of magical.
We are deeply grateful to Axis Africa for assigning Kevin to us, and to Tabitha for overseeing the entire trip, from our very first conversation to seamless coordination with all the hotels, making the journey completely hassle-free for us, especially while travelling with elders and a baby.
During the trip, we celebrated my wife’s birthday and my son’s 10-monthversary. We couldn’t have chosen a better destination or a better tour operator.
Wishing Axis Africa, Tabitha, and Kevin Apidi continued success and growth.
God bless abundantly.
