Once in a Lifetime Safari!
My safari with Axis was an incredible experience! When planning my safari, Lennox answered all of my questions quickly. He helped me plan a safari within my budget, and he gave me the best price out of all the companies I talked to.
My driver, Khalifa was the best! He spotted animals quickly, I was able to see the Big 5, and he was always able to navigate through the terrain so I could get take up close pictures. Both Khalifa and Lennox checked on me throughout the entire trip to make sure I was okay.
I was able to see so many animals and beautiful places, and I was able to learn about the Maasai tribe. It was a once in a life time experience!!! I highly recommend Axis!

Amazing Safari
We chose the 7 days Safari from Nairobi to Mombasa, going through Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli NP and Tsavo West.
Our contact from the company was George. Very nice and helpful at any times. You can trust him.
The trip was amazing! We have seen the big five and a lots of others animals. We have witnessed the beginning of the migration.
All of the hotel booked by George were magical. We would almost be sad because we didn’t have enough time to enjoy these beautiful places.
Also David, our guide, was very kind and considerate with us, patient and good guide/driver. Sometimes disorganized but it’s fine.
Negative side: The traffic.
From Nairobi to Amboseli National Park traffic was VERY disturbed and slow. It took 6 hours to get to the hotel. So we have lost the entire day on the road.. No game drive the evening.
Anyway, I recommend this company. You will not be disappointed. Very good value for the price.
Thanks again to them.

Fantastic tour with a group of spontaneous people.
I can recommend the safari with John and co with a pure heart. Perfect organization, everything on time, just a great adventure. Additionally, the fastest driver on the Serengeti Zuma and the best chef Adam made our stay a wonderful one. We saw all the animals included in the big five thanks to the commitment of our guide. We strongly recommend !!!

Good Safari to remember
We had a good safari experience with Sino Africa Safari. The planning and communication was good, hotels we stayed were good also. The best part of the safari is having Kennedy as our driver, he cares about us and knows everything about wildlifes and cultures. We recommend them and Kennedy as your safari guide!

It was really awesome !
Spending 2 weeks on Zanzibar first half of August, we eventually decided to book a 2 day/1 night safari game drive and we did not regret it at all !
* Organisation
The whole organisation was perfect :
- collected on time from our Nungwi hotel
- flight departed on time from ZNZ to Selous
- you start the safari directly upon arrival
- you end the safari on day 2 at the airstrip
- return flight again departed on time
- transfer from ZNZ back to Nungi
* Driver/guide
We met our driver/guide JOSEPH upon arrival at the Selous airstrip.
It was his childhood dreamjob and he’s got it
He was really great : as a driver, as a guide (think encyclopedia Brittanica about animals & plants) and finally also as a person.
If we would have had a son (we have 2 lovely daughters( he would of been great
* Vehicle
We had an open 4x4 Suzuki/Maruti SJ413 with 5 individual comfortable passenger seats, staged on 3 different levels for optimal viewing.
Although it did look a little worn & torn, it did the job perfectly. Btw, after finishing, we better understood the first look of the vehicle as one does quite some 4x4 off road.
* Game drive / safari
One should know that of the so called big 5, there are only 4 possible at Selous as there are no more rhino still alive. Joseph als told us that seeing a leopard would be very fortunate.
Out of the 4, we saw 3 : lions, buffalos and Elephants Furthermore we also saw : impalas, zebras, girafes, swine (pumbas), wildebeests, hippos, crocodiles, vultures, birds of prey, various colourful birds, squirrels, baboons, other smaller monkeys.
We also saw a 1.500+ year old baobab tree, even more impressive than the Sequoia we saw in the USA.
* Accomodation
Welcomed by 3 real Maasai who actually guard the place
We only stayed 1 night :
- room : glamping tent with ac : was just ok
- food : was ok, but choice rather limited
- drinks : not very very cold and no ice…
- power shut off : from 22h00 to 05h00
Some a.m. are 1st world issues but now you know..
* Tips
- travel light (small planes…)
- bring a torch
- the roads can get dusty sometimes
- better to wear long trousers/pants/jogging
- better to wear closed shoes not sandals
- am : right side of car exposed to sun
- pm : left side of car exposed to sun
^ Bottom line
Can we recommend this company ? Absolutely !
Make sure to ask them to set you up with JOSEPH as driver/guide and a very good person
Enjoy true nature as long it is still there…

Dennis kibe is always the best.
Dennis Kibe was amazing, He's always already to guide you on prices, and hotels to visit according to your preference. Our experience at the coast with bonfire has always been amazing and also affordable.
These guys are very professional, welcoming and make sure you have a memorable holiday. Excellent!
As someone relatively new to travel and tourism I was a bit skeptical about my travel to the Victoria falls until I spoke to Afro Dawn safaris and they promised to take care of my family’s needs whilst on holiday and they did exactly that! My stay and itinerary was lovely and well planned paying special detail to our little baby who was 6 months at the time. Accomodation, activities and eating places made sure our little princess was catered for as well and on top of the exciting activities they lined up for us our stay was very comfortable and safe.
