Incredible Experience!
My husband and I went on a 4 day 3 night safari to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, and Ngorongoro Crater. The trip was amazing! Seeing all of the animals up close was truly an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend going on a tour with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Bartho was very professional and he responded to my questions quickly when booking the tour. Our safari driver and guide was Malisa. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, very good at spotting the animals and just enjoyable to be around and talk to. Our chef was Dula. He prepared amazing homemade food for us such has pizza, quiche, dinner rolls, breads, tartes, soups, curries, and so much more. We were totally spoiled on this budget safari!

Amazing time on 8 day safari
In November, my husband and I booked Home to Africa Tours for an 8 day custom safari in Uganda. They were so easy to work with, fast to reply and accommodated some last minute itinerary changes. We had an amazing time with our guide Karim visiting multiple national parks across the country. Karim was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the parks - there was no question that he couldn’t answer! He even spotted multiple leopards during our game drives - a highlight of our trip! The lodges (mid-range options) they chose were beautiful and so comfortable, and all logistics during the trip were seamless. We’re so glad we chose them and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!

It was a great safari.
It was a great safari. We had booked 5 days safari tour that included Maasai Mara National Reserve (2 nights in Lenchada Tourist Camp), Lake Naivasha (1 night in "Magic" Naivasha Sopa Lodge) and Amboseli National Park (1 night in Kibo Safari Camp). The price was quite reasonable compared with other agencies. All tour was according to the schedule, we had two professional drivers-guides (Albert and Dennis). They did their best for our amazing safari. We saw a lot of animals, such as lions cub, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, zebras, giraffes etc. The accommodations were great too, especially Sopa (where we saw giraffes and hippos from our room) and Kibo (where we saw Kilimandjaro from our camp). We liked everything and highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris.

The best adventure
Communication with Lisa was excellent and Major was a fantastic guide and experienced driver. The safari tour itself was well planned and we had a great time both on the road and in lodges (Sentrim Tsavo East and Sentrim Amboseli). Unfortunately, some of the animals went outside the parks due to earlier rainfall but we still saw a lot of them as well as beautiful sunsets and Mount Kilimanjaro. I would definitely recommend it!

Fantastic safari - great company to travel with!
The safari game drives were incredible, and the whole tour was faultless from the start and the quote and booking process was so easy. Bartho was great - reliable and really informative with the planning and details, as well as answering any questions. Our guide, Maliaki, was excellent at giving us info on the nature and wildlife we saw and made sure we got to see as much as possible. The cook, Sule, was also fantastic - there was always plenty of food (all very good food!) and he catered for all of our different food requests and requirements. They all worked really hard to make sure the safari was the best it could be, and were all really friendly - would definitely recommend this company!

Eyes on Serengeti are so professional and everything ran very smoothly.
We did a 5 night and 6 day safari with Eyes on Serengeti in January 2020 and it was absolutely unbelievable beautiful.
While planning our trip and after searching through the web and contacting several safari operators we chose Eyes on Serengeti.
They were the most prompt and detailed in their replies and they were more than happy to assist with personalising a private safari experience for 2, as we already had a rough itinerary worked out of places we wished to visit.
On arrival at Kilimanjaro airport we were greeted by Richard, one of the owners, who we were in constant contact with through WhatsApp, before and during the safari. When we met we straight away got on very well, he’s just a really nice guy.
The next day we set off and first visit was the Tarangire National Park where we saw many animals though mostly I enjoyed watching the elephants taking a bath in a large pond which was such fun.
Then Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area for a day, next day to Lake Masek and 2 days in the Serengeti plains. All of them are astonishing places.
There is quite a bit of driving between the parks, as they’re all a few hours apart, but our Toyota Landcruiser was modern, very clean and well maintained. The top popped up so that you could stand and see all around you and the extra hight really gives you a better view.
Godwin is exceptional, he is so familiar with all the wildlife and could anticipate how the animals would behave which meant that he always managed to steer our jeep into prime viewing position. I don’t know how he did it, but he was able to spot animals from very far distances as he was manoeuvring the jeep over very bumpy roads. He has a very good knowledge on all the different wildlife and ecosystems and answered our question about the culture, government and history of Tanzania, too.
I guess the wildlife sightings will be different for every trip depending on what’s around, but we literally got to see every animal we could have wished to see: giraffes, elephants, hippos, and even rhinos. As we were there for the migration we saw many many zebras, gazelles, wildebeests and cheetahs, hyenas and lions following them.
Godwin was great at knowing where to look for specific animals and gave us plenty of time once we spotted them to take pictures and observe. It really was amazing to see these animals out in the wild.
Eyes on Serengeti offers a variety of different accommodations at various price levels. We found our choices, to be pristine - some had showers open to the sky, I thought this was great.
The food was delicious and plenty and beer and wine was also included in the room rate. The staff and service is outstanding, the Tanzanians are all so friendly, welcoming and accommodating.
Overall it was an absolutely unforgettable trip.
I cannot recommend Eyes on Serengeti more highly! They were always responsive and helpful with all our crazy questions. They were so professional and everything ran very smoothly.

Extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.
Faisal would supply us with information even outside the safari tour to help make sure we had a wonderful time in South Africa. His guide in Kruger national park “Pete” is a very special man who was an unbelievable guide. Luckily we were able to see all the big 5 in one day! If you’re staying in SA and want to safari definitely call Busch Explorers!

It was an awesome experience and my expectations we're fully met.
SAFARI EXPECTATIONS MET
Jadi safaris is the best place to meet your safari expectations and have fun in many amazing ways. My experience with jadi safaris was great from the first emails, the pick up and drop off in town. With jadi safaris i was able to get a chance to see all the big fives at Amboseli National Park and had a close view of Mt kilimanjaro. I recommend jadi safaris for all who wanna travel around East Africa.

7 amazing days of seeing gorillas, chimpanzees, lions hunting, and the amazing landscape of Rwanda/U
I did a 7 day tour with Ronald to see the gorillas at Volcanoes and Bwindi, game drive and lions hunting in Kazinga National Park (Queen Elizabeth), and Kibale for the chimpanzees and night walk to see the bush babies (I saw 13! Thomas and Demidoff's galagos). All of it was amazing to see and enhanced by a flawless and super fun guided tour by Ronald. Ronald makes sure to answer questions prior to your trip in a timely manner and makes you feel secure about your travel plans. I met a number of travelers that had terrible guide experiences, so be sure to get a reputable guide especially when spending so much on Gorilla permits! Throughout the trip, Ronald and intern Bella were so much fun and full of information on all things Uganda/Rwanda and the areas where we traveled. As a solo traveler, I always appreciate guides that make you feel like a fast friend - we laughed and conversed on so many interesting topics. All of the hotels, especially at Bwindi and Kazinga, were amazing with great food and staff. I am already looking forward to another trip with Kajie and will be highly recommending them to any friends looking to travel in Uganda!
