Beautiful
Wisdom gave us a great time. Moved by beautiful scenery of the national park and wildlife. I felt like heaven may be like this.

An extraordinary experience of the Masai Mara.
Safari Masai Mara has carefully planned everything since receiving us from the airport. Our guide was very experienced and showed us all the "Big Five." Accommodations were clean and comfortable. The whole tour was arranged according to our needs, and Safari Masai Mara was by our side with constant updates. I definitely recommend this company to everyone.

Amazing experience
I did have an amazing experience, I was a little concern because I was travelling alone but after talking to Zanzi Trekking over the phone they made me feel at ease. I wasn’t sure on what to expect, because I was alone. I was put into a mix group of people, my issue was that the group was camping on a budget and I was doing a mid range so the truck was heavily packed ( two flat tires and only one spare…) Also I felt like we were rushing a little to get from A to B. If I go back on a Safari I want less people so it is easier to please everyone. Zanzi Trekking was quick to answer my question and I was able to reach them at all time. I had an issue coming back from Zanzibar and I miss my flight but we stayed in communication and they compensated me for most of the extra cost. I would do it all over again plus I got a chance to meet some amazing people from around the world.
Unforgettable experience with memories made which we will cherish forever
We have just returned (today!) from a 10 night holiday in Kenya where both my parents were born. It was their first time going back to Kenya in over 50 years!
We had a driver called James who took us out on safari in his vehicle last week and to and from Amboseli National Park.
We got on ever so well with him and he became a good friend to our family. He was friendly, helpful, professional and reliable. He even came out to dinner with us on Wednesday evening along with Alice from Morning star. Alice was in contact with my sister both before & during our stay. She was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and so easy to get along with. I would like to thank both James and Alice for our experience and hope to see them again in the future. If using the company for airport transfers, please allow plenty of time and perhaps ask to be collected earlier as our transfer was 30 minutes late due to traffic which meant we were rushing to reach the airport before check in closed and under pressure to get there. Other than this blip, we had an extremely pleasant experience using Morning Star.

Reliable and helpful person, he drives well and we manage to arrive place on time.
In general the trip is good. We see many animals and went to the three parks that we booked. Hotel rooms are all booked correctly, there is no bad situation happen to us.
The only thing might be a bit annoying is, as we are a small group, we swapped the travelling buddies twice and due to that, I feel we might waste some time on the way. It is understandable that other companies do this as well. It is just a matter of expectations.
James is our guide, he is a good one, we followed the schedule mostly on time and we saw a lot of animals.
We did not manage to go Masai village or Naivasha lake, as we have tight schedule on the travelling.
Thanks a lot to Axis Africa for the amazing trip. Really appreciate it.
