Pleasant
Thomas, our driver was pleasant enough. Driving is a little aggressive, however road conditions may play a role.

Fantastic - would thorogly recommend using African Big Cats Safaris
We arrived at silly oclock in the morning at Kilimanjaro airport and our guide was there to meet us with a smile on his face. We were with him for another 2 weeks as he guided us through 5 game parks in Tanzania. His experience shined through as he got us to the places to see the best of African big game. One of our party was into his birds and the guide knew his birds. Whilst I'm not not into birds, the enthusiam between the two was infectious. A good guide is what makes a safari and I think we had one of the best. The tour itself went like clockwork, the guide took care of all of the admin around the national parks and accommodation so that went like a breeze. African Big Cats were prompt in their replies to our questions in the lead up to the safari. I believe that the trip represented excellent value for money and would undreservedly recommend them to any others that are considering a company to go with for any kind of safari in East Africa.

helpful
Thomas was punctual, professional, and made the long drive from Johannesburg to Kruger smooth and comfortable. Safe driving and great service throughout.
Peter Kapino is the best! Very patient, knowledgeable, and kind!
We had the BEST experience on safari thanks to our guide and driver, Peter Kapino. He was with us the entire time, and honestly, he made the whole trip unforgettable.
Peter is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He took his time to make sure we saw as much as possible and never rushed us especially when we wanted to stop for photos (which was often 😅). He knows so much about the animals, the land, and the culture, and you can tell he truly loves what he does.
What I appreciated most is how comfortable he made us feel. From day one, it didn’t feel like we were just client, it felt like we were traveling with a friend, even family. He’s very welcoming, easy to talk to, and just has such a good energy.
If you’re planning a safari, I highly recommend Axis! Shoutout to Tabatha that made it easy to book! Very responsive and answered all questions! Safari tour was very organized and I am very happy for choosing Axis and that Peter Kapino was assigned as our tour guide!

A thrilling and enjoyable Safari trip to Tanzania
We had an absolutely unforgettable and wonderful trip in Tanzania. We sincerely appreciate your thoughtful and professional arrangements throughout the journey!
The accommodation and dining were excellent and comfortable, and the itinerary was perfectly organized.
A special thank you to our guide Edson — he is professional, patient, and very thoughtful. He shared with us rich knowledge of local culture and wildlife, took good care of our safety and experience all the way, and also showed us around the local city. We were even lucky enough to watch the exciting African motorcycle cross-country race, which was such a unique and amazing experience!
Thanks to your dedicated team and outstanding guide, we have so many beautiful memories of Tanzania.
We will definitely choose you again for our next visit!

Exceptional service and they gave me a great time in Kenya.
George was really helpful in helping us come up with a travel plan for Kenya. We visited Samburu, Ol-pejeta, Nakuru and finalized with Maasai mara park. He ensured we never missed out on any opportunity to see the special 5 & the big 5 in Samburu & The mara and they were all beautiful animals mostly the Grevy’s Zebra. His guiding skills were excellent and informative. Any nature lover would enjoy a safari planned by Jupicon for they are well informed. Would recommend!

An immersive Tanzanian safari that went far beyond the Big Five to reveal the ecosystem and culture
Before my trip to Tanzania, I thought it would be all about spotting the Big Five—lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalo. And sure, we saw them all by the second day. But what I didn’t expect was how much more the land would offer beyond those iconic animals.
Traveling in February meant we were lucky enough to see plenty of newborn animals—something you miss in the peak dry season of July and August. That alone became one of the most heartwarming parts of the journey. We also checked off the Ugly Five, and yes, hyenas absolutely earn their place on that list. On our fourth day in Ndutu, after more than two hours of patient waiting, we witnessed a hunt in real time. It wasn’t just luck—it was the skill of our guide, Ben. His years of experience, deep understanding of animal behavior, and ability to anticipate the wild made moments like these possible. He gave us a front-row seat to nature in its purest form.
While many come to Africa for the Big Five, I now realize it’s one of the best places on earth to experience an entire ecosystem. Ben didn’t just point out animals—he opened up a whole world. He shared Tanzania’s history, geography, and culture, introduced us to the Maasai people, and taught us to notice the smaller wonders: vervet monkeys, baboons (Rafiki from The Lion King!), oxpeckers, dung beetles, European rollers, white-throated bee-eaters, and so many others. He even taught us how to tell male and female giraffes apart—older males go bald on their heads from fighting, just like humans! And by the end, I could finally tell the difference between all those antelopes.
We had compared prices with 14 different safari companies before making our choice. Looking back, it was absolutely the right decision. The value was outstanding, and the service and meals went far beyond what we’d imagined.
It’s been nearly a month since we returned, but whenever I scroll through my photos or replay the videos, I can almost hear the rumble of the safari car and feel the wind rushing through the open vehicle. I close my eyes and I’m right back there—driving across the plains, surrounded by nothing but wonder and the feeling of complete freedom.

What an amazing experience
the four days tour to Hluhluwe Imfolozi and St. Lucia was just amazing! We traveled as a family, in quite a big group of 11 people . Everything was perfectly organized. We got picked up at our hotel, had all the meals organized (and they were great!), there was water always and for everybody and our tour guides were so friendly and kind.
We got to see all the big five and more and that was just stunning! The Guides during the game drives were so kind and we could learn a lot. Kids, parents and grandparents, we all had a really wonderful time - a once in a lifetime experience!
Thank you so much for that!

I flex all the time that I camped in the Serengeti!
Always a little nerve wracking scheduling things for a vacation halfway across the world! But Kale Voyages was wonderful to communicate with about logistics. They were quick to respond to my questions, the driver was right on time to pick me up, and this three day camping safari was so fun! Essentially everything is included, the food was excellent, and getting the run down for tent camping in the Serengeti is now a core memory. And of course, getting to be so close to this incredible place and seeing all the animals! Definitely glad I stayed longer in Tanzania to make sure I had this experience!
