A well organised safari
We had a good trip with Axis Africa, everything was well organised from the first hotel pick up to the days we were out doing activities. Guide, Peter Kapino, was very knowledgeable, friendly and ensured we had a good time. He tried hard to find all animals whilst we were out on safari and answered all our questions, both about the animals and generally about life in Kenya! We felt safe at all times during our trip.
There were a couple of negatives of the trip. Firstly, a few of the optional activities were a little more expensive than we were told or had hidden costs which were not stated in the description. Secondly, the last day was very rushed, when in Hell's gate it felt as though we were being rushed along and didn't have time to 'explore' as described, we did the minimum not exploring the caves etc. Following that visit, we were taken for lunch at 11:30am before driving back to Nairobi, although we had been told we would end the day around 4pm. This 5th day was realistically only half a day and it was a shame to end on such a rushed and disappointing note when we were expecting a whole day of activity. It seemed this was because another couple on the shared trip were staying another day and and travelling to amboselli and so our day had to be rushed to accommodate them, which I felt was unfair to us. I don't believe this was the guides fault as I understand this would be a long day for him, but the other couples trip should not have impacted ours.
The trip seemed generally good value for money, although it seemed other similar priced trips did include the day 4 boat ride price, which this didn't. And the very limited final day reduced the value for money.

Peaceful
It was really nice we saw many wild animals including the ones that are very difficult to see like chitas and leopards. It was an awesome experience

Professional and good tour operator
Nice trip, good service and lots of good info from our driver. Very punctual driver. The only downside was that the driver operated with different schedules than what we had been informed in advance, so there were some challenges with communication. Otherwise satisfied.

Good experience
They were always helpful whenever something came up and replied fast. The guide for the game drive was amazing, always knew the best spots and we were able to see so many animals. Food and hotel was not as good, but what can you expect to be the level of that in the middle of nowhere. In other words: good quality for its price but do not expect luxury. Even though it’s not glamorous you get the safari experience for a cheaper price.

Decent
We recently returned from a 7-day safari in Kenya and had a great experience overall, thanks in large part to our guide, David. From the moment we met him, he was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He made sure we were comfortable, answered all our questions, and had a great eye for spotting wildlife.
David went above and beyond to make our days enjoyable – from early morning game drives to sharing insights about the local culture and environment.
The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is not because of David, but due to some of the accommodations along the way. While we understood some might have been 3-star lodges/camps, a few were below what we expected in terms of cleanliness and comfort.
That said, the last accommodation – Manjaro Tented Camp – was absolutely amazing. It was clean, comfortable, and had a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. A perfect way to end the trip- 100% recommend!
If you’re planning a safari in Kenya and have the chance to request David as your guide, do it – you’ll be in good hands!

professional.helpful and always present
We were met at the airport by our guide Judith at the Victoria Falls airport. She was lovely. She made the safari tour a great experience. We started our tour in Zimbabwe. She drove us through Botswana to various locations. We were introduced to local guides.
Loved our tours.

Nice Experience with Almana Africa Safaris
The experience through Almana Africa Safari‘s Service was really good, the price for the quality of journey was good.
The only thing is the difficulty of payment, in my opinion there should be a easier, more comfortable way.
Other than that, I can only recommend going with Almana Africa Safari.

Very good jeeps with enough space and water
Kenia, driver Laurence.
Not very interested, except for his cell phone. Not very informative and not a careful driver. My husband suffered a head injury. Asked a couplof times to stop for a picture, but did not.
Tanzania, driver Erneste.
Very friendly, caring, protective, accurate, and helpful. Received a great deal of useful information. Trieded to stop on a good place, when asked. This is one to keep and recommend.
Negative was that de 3 jeeps always had to wait for each other, so we lost a lot of time waiting, sometimes even more than half an hour.
