SETH WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND ATTENTIVE. TRIED VERY HARD TO PLEASE.j
COMMUNICATIONS WERE FINE. ONE PROBLEM WAS THAT TWO OF OUR SAFARI DRIVERS DID NOT ALWAYS COMMUNICATE BETWEEN THEMSELVES WELL. ARRIVED LATE TWO OR THREE TIMES TO OUR LODGINGS WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED WITH BETTER TIME MANAGEMENT.
ONE DRIVER, DICKSON, WAS OFTEN ON HIS PHONE WHILE DRIVING, CHATTING WITH FRIENDS OR WIFE.
THAT SEEMED TO BE HIS PRIORITY DESPITE OUR COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. NOT GOOD.
OPANY AND ALI BABA WERE GREAT AND KNOWLEDGEABLE.
RIFT VALLEY ROUTE VERY CROWDED AND FRUSTRATING...BUT TRIP TO MASA MARA FROM LAKE NAKURU WAS BRUTAL. FORTUNATELY, THE GAME VIEWING AND VISIT TO THE MASAI VILLAGE FAR EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS. WELL WORTH IT, VERY MUCH SO. P.S DO STAY AT THE WONDERFUL, CHARMING SAROVA NELSON HOTEL IN NAIROBI. OUTSTANDING STAFF!

Amazing
Exceptional 5-day safari thanks to the attentiveness and patience of joel who concocted a tailor-made stay for us. The accommodations chosen were just crazy!!
So typical (the zebras in front of the lodges, hearing the roar of the lions at night, what a treat!), the food so good and the staff so nice! Incredible!
Thanks also to Hassan, our guide, who was very patient and who knew how to listen during this stay. He brought us so many explanations also on all the animals!
Thanks to you 2, you made this stay an unforgettable experience!

This company is currently bankrupt and will take your money and give you nothing!
We booked with African Sunsets for a 2020 tour of Namibia. We prepaid for lodge reservations, a vehicle and a guide. After we were in Namibia we found we had to pay for almost everything ourselves, with the promise that our expenses would be reimbursed before our trip was over. Reimbursement was delayed “for a few days”, them promised “ before we left the country”. Five months later we have never seen a penny of it. The worst of it was that the company stiffed our guide, who was the best guide we’ve ever had in a lifetime of travel.
We have been in contact with African Sunsets off and on since we returned home, with no response. I realize that Covid hurt the South African tour business badly, but this tour company was not honest with us about their financial condition and let us travel halfway around the world before we found out we still had another $4000 of debt to cover. Don’t book with them. They are not an honest agency.

Very helpful planning and wonderful safari while we were there!
Paul Muthui was helpful in planning our safari. He was helpful with a custom itinerary, booking the lodging exactly where we wanted to stay, and letting us book some of the places ourselves. He was flexible on payment terms as well. Our guide Pascal took us to some great spots for food, helped us find all sorts of amazing wildlife (saw the Big Five, a newborn giraffe, and so on). Just make sure you tell him what you're looking for (he started pausing to photograph birds in flight when I explained that's something I like to do). He tolerated my overly chatty father as well, haha. Overall we were very pleased and had a wonderful, affordable private safari.

My best friend and I went on a 17 day Safari trip through Kenya and Tanzania with Twinkle Star Tours. James, the company's Director, and our two guides, David and Jose (David on the Kenya side, Jose on the Tanzania side) were absolutely delightful! In those 17 days we really felt like we became family.
David and Jose were extremely attentive to our needs, considerate, and highly knowledgeable of the flora and fauna we saw, which enhanced our experience ten-fold.
We would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to do a Safari in East Africa.

Best safari ever with such a kind and knowledgeable guide!
Just got back from an incredible 3 day/ 2night camping safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Cannot recommend Freddy and itravel safari enough! Freddy did everything to ensure we had the most amazing time and had such a personalised experience. We had the privilege to see the animals up close and had an unforgettable experience. He is so kind and took incredible care of us. Such amazing value for money! The tents, the car, Freddy’s knowledge we’re all top notch and I cannot thank you enough Freddy!

A once in a lifetime experience
From start to finish my experience with Axis Safari has been excellent! Everything was perfectly organized, yet there was always time for spontaneity. Our driver Kalifa new the park incredibly well and got us to see more wild animals then we could have ever wished for. I did and I will recommend Axis Safari anytime!

3 DAYS RWANDA GORILLA EXPERIENCE
Very detailed website with up-to-date information. The staff give you assistance all the way from the airport and offer you a complementary tour of Kigali city. Be reminded to carry your Yellow Fever vaccine upon entry into Rwanda as it will be required. As indicated on the website, the weather is chilly and true to it dressing appropriately for it would save you from a lot of discomfort. Ruhengeri is endowed with some of the most eye-catching gorillas and its an amazing to interact with them cause of the high intelligence they poses.
