The best deal for quality wilderness experts, reliable, competent and very close to nature
We are a french family of 3 and KIMGONI Tanzania Safari organized a 5 day safari for us in july 2023. Everything was so well organized from the first contact to the very end of the Safari. This agency provided us with a very efficient guide and through the Safari we could thrive on finding animals but also learn about the Wild nature in the reserves and the country's customs. More than just a Safari, it was just a very beautiful human experience. We appreciated the commitment, the determination, the kindness, the seriousness and the extensive knowledge of our guide Emmanuel. The lodges were we satyed at were very nice and in the core of wilderness. The organisation was at its utmost and we felt safe all along the Safari. We strongly ecommend this agency which defies all competition about prices. Do not hesitate to book through KIMGONI Tanzania Safari agency if you want to have a very secure , exciting and unforgettable time in Tanzania .

Attentive
We love the experience beginning with the bookings with Mpho who really was so helpful and reassuring. We were whizzed off by an excellent driver to the lodge in just 5 hours with a pit stop in between. Very comfortable car! The lodge is so beautiful and the tent/room was big and comfortable with clean bathroom facilities and even a fridge for us to store wine and chocolates! The surroundings were so serene that we keep thanking God for allowing us to be amongst His creation. We went on the evening and morning drives and while the animals were shy, we did see enough to be starry eyed! Food was great, service was spectacular and this lodge is highly recommended.

Great driver, great tour operator, everything was well organized and I would definitely recommend!
I was in Kenya with my wife and she has never been to Africa before this trip. I can say for 100% this was something what she will remember until the end of her life. We had an amazing time and an even more amazing driver. Moses did his best to make the whole experience incredible. Actually, he was the one who changed a regular adventure to the super one and thanks to him we saw the big five and a lot of different animals. If I come back to Kenya (I would like to see the great migration with my own eyes) I will definitely go with Hyrax Safaris again :-)

Seamless Experience !
Megan, thank you!
I am so pleased I worked a 6 night Safari into my Itinerary.
3 nights, 2 days in each park was simply perfect.
Jock Safari Lodge in Kruger was outstanding in all areas, I recommend without hesitation.
Further north, the Sabi Sands provided excellent sightings.

Very professional and reliable
Joel and his team did their best and provided great service. Luxury tents were very comfortable, the spots booked for camping were excellent, camp food was at a restaurant level (could not believe the chef cooked it on open fire). I would definitely recommend Bush Lovers company for travelling in Botswana.

Energetic, intelligent, entertaining and determined to give us THE BEST safari, Johny is 10 stars!!
Our tour of Maasia Mara and Nukuru exceeded our expectations. It started with Johny being on time (big deal in Kenya!). He went out of his way to help get my phone returned to me as I had left it in our taxi the night before.
The vehicles were comfortable and allowed us all to get fantastic views wherever we went.
Johny has been doing this for 13 years and knew exactly where to take us. He also was very intentional about positioning the vehicle for THE BEST pictures and views.
He answered SO many questions and told great stories. We truly could not have asked for more.
We have a travel agency and Johny will be our go to guide to recommend.

Knowledgeable, personable, persistent and fun!
Great value for the money. Animal sightings were beyond my expectations. Pre safari communication was great. Went the extra mile to get my wife's phone that was left with an Uber. Lodge accomodations were good for Kenya but overall 3.5 stars. Upgrade whenever you can. The Toyota Land Cruiser we had was fantastic. Johnny the tour guide was stupendous!

Amazing and very helpful
Where do i even begin from??!! The adventure through the national reserves and meeting the local maasai tribe was one to want to relive. my team and I, with the help of our guide Johnny, we’re able to see the big 5 except the rare leopard. We learnt so many fun facts and the guide had trivia questions to make it even more fun. On our day 2 of the safari, we visited the maasai tribe. the chiefs son took us through the community’s customs and lifestyle! they had us participate in the dance. we then headed to lake nakuru to see the famous flamingoes, i would definitely recommend the axis safari to anyone looking for a fun or intimate package with family and friends. i have so many pictures to share omg

Johnny was incredibly knowledgeable with a great sense of humor
Incredibly prompt, we saw more than I could imagine. We all felt safe and cared for. Johnny was adept at getting us so close to the animals that we rarely needed a professional camera. The photo opps were incredible. Johnny was always in good humor. I will definitely recomend this tour to others.

Johnny Jackson our tour operator went above and beyond to see lion cubs and the illusion black rhino
Communications with the the tour was easy fast and reliable. All questions were clearly answered. The service was superb, from on time pickup at a hard to find Airbnb, immediate connection to the the tour guide Johnny, endless through knowledge about flora, birds, fun facts and of course all the amazing animals. Our food was very traditional throughout and always ready upon arrival with pleasant friendly servers in clean comfortable settings. The tour included all are meals and all the water we could drink. I feel it was an extremely good value for our money. As far as reliability it was more than I could have hoped for. Johnny was always on time, truck clean, pleasant, eager to accommodate all our wishes. Also important to me I felt he looked out for us and made me feel safe and taken care. Overall the tour was more than I could have asked for. Johnny loves the animals as much as I did and enjoyed helping us fine the most unique views and experiences as possible. We saw the elusive black rhino and 2 female lioness after a wildebeest kill feeding their 3 cubs in the catch. We were safe but so close. We even witnessed one of the cubs taking the tail and running playing and being chased by the others. So fun!! I would highly recommend this company and tour guide!!
