Professionally executed day trip, great guide/driver
We were picked up early morning in the 4x4 Safari jeep on time from our hotel in Dar es Salaam and given a booklet explaining the trip.
Philipe our driver and guide, who spoke perfect English, also explained the journey and what to expect. One of which was the charging facility & the fridge full of water & soft drinks available to us.
We drove for a couple of hours & had a break at a service station for coffee & pastries.
All through the journey Phillipe shared information and facts with us about places, animals and the flora and fauna around us.
We arrived about 10am and after a quick natural break started the drive around the Mikumi National park.
Over the course of the day we saw several dazzles of zebras, towers of giraffes, herds of impalas & elephants, monitor lizards, various birds & the snuffling and eyes of hippos cooling off.
We had access to binoculars & various animal books too, so were able to spot & read about all sorts.
The highlight of the day was seeing a pride of lions who had just caught their ‘meal’! We were so lucky to be able to witness that!
We had a good hot buffet lunch which was included and there was plenty of choice for all.
The drive back was broken up with a stop to try some fresh pineapple & again at the service station before arriving back at our hotel in the evening. A long day but well worth it!
Very well executed trip, communication beforehand via email/whatsapp was easy and we are so grateful to have chosen to book this through Allen & Wild Reality Safaris & have had such a knowledgeable & safe guide/driver in Phillipe!
Definitely recommend!!

The best tour operator!
Amazing attitude and support, combined with professionalism. Great communication with Joseph from the office before the trip and during the safari period! All the camps and hotels were correct compared to the offer, we were surprised by upgrade of the camp range as well. There was an issue with my luggage at the airport, then Joseph reacted immediately and transported it to the hotel, for which I am very grateful.
Safari was amazing experience. Our guide, Wilfred always did his best to find as much animals as possible and placed us to the best view spots close to the wilds. He complied with us and took care of us all the time. Absolutely recommend Morningstar safaris as the best safari agency!

Our safari with Shafino exceeded expectations, providing unforgettable wildlife experiences
From start to finish, our safari with guide Shafino was an exceptional experience that far exceeded all our expectations. From the detailed planning of our tour on-site, Shafino demonstrated great commitment by specifically asking about our wishes. Our children dreamed of seeing lions and zebras, I wanted to witness the impressive migration, and my husband had a cheetah on his wish list. It was incredible for us how Shafino managed not only to fulfill all these wishes but even to surpass them, allowing us the fortune of seeing the Big 9.
Shafino's knowledge of wildlife as well as flora and fauna is impressive. With ease, he imparts his extensive knowledge, enriched with exciting fun facts and valuable experiences he has gathered over the years. His stories and explanations made every encounter with nature both educational and entertaining.
Our kids really liked him and were fascinated by the stories and fun facts. His connections to the people in the region, his commitment to assist with challenges like a flat tire or obstacles in the way, and the respect he receives from other guides impressed us.
Every one of our wishes was seen by Shafino as his mission, which made our experience incomparable. My highlight was the drive through the migration of thousands of animals – an overwhelming moment. A once-in-a-lifetime experience that one never forgets.
Upon my spontaneous request to visit a local market, Shafino immediately responded and led us through the bustling activity, giving us an authentic insight into local life, which as tourists, one rarely gets.
For anyone wanting to deeply dive into the world of wildlife, flora, and fauna while experiencing a true adventure, I recommend Shafino 120%. His professionalism, extensive knowledge, and personal dedication make a safari with him an unforgettable experience.
Visiting the Datoga and Hadzabe tribes marked the conclusion of our journey. Under the expert guidance of guide Rama, who spent his childhood among the Datogas and learned the Hadzabe click language, we were allowed to immerse ourselves in a world that impresses with its original simplicity and contentment. This experience, to witness a life of such authentic purity still existing today, we owe to Rama. A heartfelt thank you for this unforgettable experience, which will remain in the memories of us and our children forever.

Phenomenal experience.
An excellent organisation to undertake the challenging Kilimanjaro trek. From the outset Bobby’s communication was exemplary, promptly attending to any queries and concerns we had. This was followed through on our arrival with the excellent service of Issa to transport us. Issa was not only a very safe driver, but friendly and personable.
The services on the trek exceeded any expectation. Daniel led a great team. He was caring, patient and friendly which was desperately needed particularly at the more challenging times. All the staff were friendly, but I’d like to give a special mention to Emanuel for looking after our every need, Gappy for carrying our luggage and Kalvin for being my assigned summit porter. He was incredibly encouraging and supportive.
This company do business with their hearts. I strongly recommend using them.

A brilliant tour!
I wouldn't hesitate booking with Mateo Travel & Adventure, they're really excellent.
Right from the beginning when we were looking at booking, until the tour itself and post- tour the communication was really fast, helpful and professional. Big shout out to Patrick for making it all so easy.
We did the two day Amboseli tour with our guide Livingstone who drove safely, made sure we saw some amazing animals and was really professional throughout. We just wished we'd booked a longer tour! We'll be back. Thank you!

Best trip in our life, thanks Axis and geeman
Hi there! We have been in many countries like Sri Lanka, Philippines, Middle East and European countries, but this is African trip organised by Axis Africa is our favourite now. It’s wonderful experience and our dream is came true in Kenya. We had a beautiful 5 day road trip and saw a lot of animals, location including boat safari and walking safari, and our driver and tour guide Geeman was super comfortable, respectful and friendly. We so happy and game drive was lucky — a lot of elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras and other animals from big five.
We bought individual tour from Nairobi, it was very nice accommodation near Amboseli and Navashi was fascinating. People in hotels helped us to make our vacation more better. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner was very tasty and delicious and now we with my wife very like African cuisine. Thank you Gerald, geeman, you are the best driver!

Accurate company with friendly and knowledgeable guide
We were picked up from our accommodation even though it was outside their pick up area. We had a (more than) 10 hours safari with a friendly and knowledgeable guide with very sharp eyes, ears and nose. One of the best guides we ever hadmwith our safaris. Great trip for everyone at a good price. Really recommended.
