Priceless experience with family care
We just returned from 3days safari in group guided with best host/guide/driver-Jimmy!
Everything was organized perfectly with care of each member of our group of 7 people.
During safari itself we managed to see all the animals, that was amazing.
The stay in the camp, which the axis booked for us was also nice end even in hard night rain we felt comfortable in our let say house)
The long way from Nairobi to masai Mara is planned with comfort brakes for coffee/toilette, when everyone can manage to move and walk a little after a long stay on car.
The car itself is also comfortable and clean every morning, even after strong rain.
Everything is made with real care and hospitality.
I will recommend Axis to my friends for sure!

Trip of a lifetime by discoverafrica.com
We booked our Tanzanian and Kenyan safari though Megan Warrington of Discoverafrica.com. Megan was superb and planned the perfect safari for us. All connections / pickups and accommodations were flawlessly executed.
We started off in Ilkeliani, on the border of the Masai Mara park (you cross a little footbridge next to the tents over the Talek river and you are right in the park) which is professionally managed by Sylvester. He happily and obligingly dealt with all our requests. We were treated to 3 delicious meals / food boxes per day. The camp prepared food exactly according to our dietary requirements. At night we heard the hippos and hyenas of the park from our perfectly appointed tents.
The highlight of the stay were our safari drives. Our devoted guide Joseph showed us amazing sights ranging from cheetahs marking their territory, a leopard guarding its kill, and lions feasting on zebra. In addition to that, Joseph opened our eyes to the Masai culture.
After that we flew over to the Serengeti where we spent 5 wonderful days at the Nasikia mobile migration camp in the northern Serengeti national park.
Our game drives by Andrei were an unforgettable experience. Through his patience and insights were experienced several Mara river crossings, one spanning over 15 minutes. We saw all the big 5 including a Leopard stalking gazelles and lions and their pride playing in tree.
The mobile camp is located on the top of a hill, and we were literally surrounded by wildebeest and zebra herds.
The food was deliciously prepared by Martin who took great care of our dietary requirements. Showers were a little challenge because there is no running water, so they are bucket showers. The tents though were well equipped and very comfortable.
After that we flew over to Karatu where we visited Lake Manyara park (didn’t see flamingoes or tree lions unfortunately, but the park is beautiful) and the Ngorongoro Crater, filled with game.
We would highly recommend Megan and her team at Discover Africa.com.

EXCELLENT SERVICE, I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY TRIP
They were very good and we had a good opportunity to see Animals and to do the boat ride over the Okavango delta. It was a very amazing experience and the staff was super friendly also and I got to learn a lot from them.

Lion King created the perfect safari for our family!
Our safari with Lion King Adventures was perfect, from the moment of booking, until our departure flight. They provided clear and concise communication throughout the booking process and through our arrival. Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable and professional, he seemed to know how to get us into the perfect spot to view the animals. He was patient with our kids, on time, and an all around great guide. They also provided VERY GOOD food for lunch each day.

Our guide made the Safari a lot better than we could imagine!!
For our first safari experience, we chose It Started in Africa following a friend recommendation and we couldn't have made a better choice.
Everybody was kind and friendly, all emails were answered within 24 hours and everything was organized very well (a lot of patience in answering all our doubts and crafting the tour on our desires with many excellent suggestions).
We did a 4-day private safari and it was the best experience ever! We visited three parks: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide Jarabu was great, very knowledgeable providing us with lots of information about the parks and the animals. His huge experience in Safaris and his safe and patient driving, made us feel super leisurely and gratified. And became a friend not only a guide but a companion of the trip.
Also the accommodations booked by It Started in Africa were super, very comfortable and clean.
After the safari we also spent a day in Kilimanjaro base in which we visited a Coffee farm and a waterfall. It was very interesting and the local lunch was delicious.
Everything went perfect and we loved our trip.
We highly recommend It started in Africa!!

Perfect
Perfect experience with this travel agency. 3-day safari in Masai Mara. Detailed description of the trip, accommodation. We got what was promised and more. They answer questions immediately. Very polite guide. We felt safe all the time. We took advantage of accommodation in Rhino - very good care, clean, tasty food, fresh. Obviously it's a budget hotel but we paid for one and nothing let us down. You can see that they care about the client, which will give them more. I wish them this

Second trip to Namibia
This has been again a wonderful experience. Visited 4 different locations, which I rate below starting with the best:
1. Little Kulala - fantastic accommodation, super friendly staff, very good food, very knowledgeable guide Markus, Soussusvlei at its best!!
2. Fish River Canyon - breathtaking location, super accommodation, very friendly staff, not much to see accept the canyon. Hike down to the canyon truly challenging and better save your energy to go back up!. Guides really focusing primarily on the canyon hike.
3. Aus Vista lodge Eagle's nest - impressive location of the chalets, though remoteness from the main lodge (7 km) requires driving for every meal - not the best. Very friendly and helpful staff, good food, beautiful hikes and sundowner rides.
4. Kalahari Anib lodge - operation set up for large groups, quick turnover, reasonable accommodation, average food, good for a short stop-over
In the first 3 locations they had no problem do address my daughter's dietary limitations (diary products), at Anib lodge they cared less.

Excellent Communication, made it very easy for us
We could not have chose a better trip or Safari. The accommodations were excellent and the games drives were amazing. We were able to capture all of The Big Five plus many, many more. The memories will last my lifetime as will the wonderful people I met along the way.
Thank You Darren and Kate

Amazing trip with Charles!
From the moment our tour started we got to see wildlife, even on the first drive. Charles our guide was amazing. He really cared about us to make sure we had a good time and we saw all the animals we wanted in Masai Mara. He ensured we were having fun and comfortable. The best part about our trip was making friends especially with our guide Charles! Highly recommend this safari tour with Jocky and ask for Charles
