An amazing way to experience the Masai Mara!
Our first interactions started with David. He was just great at given us all the information needed and explaining the different options we had so we could make the best of our safari. He made sure all the logistical details were in place and also set airport transfers and a very spontaneous Nairobi city tour! We appreciate his honesty and the fact that he really tailored the safari to our needs and budget.
Chris was our safari guide and he was just amazing!! He definitely went above and beyond to make sure we could spot as many animals as possible (and we saw so many!!) He took extra good care of us and made sure that the trip was an unforgettable (and educational) experience!

Morris was very accommodating, organized and always there for us.
Morris put together the right offer for us and was very helpful with any additional requests. The choice of driver Charles was perfect. During the safari, he found the right places to get close to the animals without being disturbed by others. Charles was always in a good mood without being pushy. Thank you Charles!

Once a life time experience Safaris
We did a 4 night / 5 days private safari including Tarengire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Our guide was a fantastic guy called Justine. He was experienced, patient and helped us get the best out of our time. He has a knack of know where to be and where not to be to see the animals. We felt safe at all times with Justine. He even arranged a visit to a Maasai village, which we will never forget. We highly recommend him and Abroad to Tanzania Safaris
we topped all our expectations and were amazed how close we were able to get to the wildlife. This is genuinely a once in a life time experience.
We set this up with the Manager, Zephania, who patiently responded to all our request and questions. They are a truly skilled firm.

From enquiry, booking and completions of safari the experience was fantastic
Four of us did a self made tour form Nairobi, Samburu, Masai Mara, Serengeti and the crater. Our guide was Rufus who was fantastic, friendly informative and patient. Our driver in Tanzania was Rogers who was a true professional and navigated the roads with expertise. Would highly recommend Gametrackers. We had a great trip with fantastic accommodation.

Perfect trip experience from planning through execution
We had such an amazing time, from the planning and booking all the way through the end of our custom adventure, with Tanzania Choice Safaris. The planning process was wonderful—Brenda listened carefully to our desires, our likes and dislikes, and our timeline and planned us an incredible trip with perfect additional stops that we'd never have known about without her, despite all our guidebook (and guide site) research.
When it came time for our safari we were met at the airport by our guide, Leslie, and from then on we had such a fantastic time together. We visited Arusha National Park, Lake Natron, and Ngorongoro Crater (along with other stops you'll just have to contact this great team to find out about) and saw an incredible number of animals—Leslie was amazing at spotting them all—and breathtaking vistas of natural beauty. Leslie was knowledgeable, gregarious, and great fun to be around, and he instilled our trip with a lot of humor and just the right amount of flexibility when we wanted to take longer at something or cut something else short. Our transportation was well equipped and comfy and Leslie was an expert driver, and each lodge we stayed in was wonderfully welcoming and comfortable—and we all agreed, much too generous with amazing food! We really appreciated the extra touches like the eco-friendly Tanzania Choice Safaris water and food packaging.
We enthusiastically recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris and we would love to travel with them again. When you go to Tanzania, safari ngema!

Friendly and accomodating operator trying to fullfill all our wishes.
Our experience with Crater Explorer was very good. The communication with Emanuel the owner was always swift and to the point and very convenient via email. Upon arrival he explained us the details of the tour again and asked for any additional wishes.
The guide on our Safari was Frank - a freelance guide which is very common in Tanzania. He was extremely knowledgeable, always friendly, accomodating our wishes and fun. Everything was as expected by the tour description upfront. The Jeep was comfortable with a rooftop to pop open.
The accomodations were good - clean and spacious rooms, local food mostly as buffet for breakfast and dinner and a warm lunchbox every day on safari. Only on our first and last night in Arusha it was a B&B where we paid for dinner which was very affordable.
All in all a great value for money and we would definetely do it again!
The tour we did was starting with 1 night in Arusha upon arrival, 1 day Tarangire NP with a sleep over at Karatu Farm of Dreams Lodge, 2 nights in Serengeti Heritage Camp with the first day being a half day game drive en route passing by Ngorongoro Crater Rim and half day Southern Serengeti game drive. The second day in Serengeti was a full day game drive in central Serengeti. 1 day in Ngorongoro Crater floor and 1 day cumtural experience visiting the Hadza, Daatoga and Maasai tribe. After 1 night in Arusha we went to see the Materuni waterfall and a coffee tour. Upon request Emanuel also organized a hotel for our last night in Tanzania before going to the airport the following morning.
We saw tons of wild animals - all the big 5. Definetely a great tour for 5 days!

Very friendly, professional people and they know what to recommend
We’ve had an amazing time in Kenia thanks to Jemmy Safari’s. Everything was very clear when we were booking and they made sure everything was alright. We almost never had any troubles and if we thought there were any, Jemmy Safaris was ready to help us right away and always came with the best solutions. This is a business run by the most capable, reliable and friendly people. We now recommend their services to all of our friends and family and definitely would recommend to anyone who is interested in an amazing experience in the beautiful scenery’s of Kenia.

Absolutely Amazing, Exceptionally Facilitating!
Absolutely Amazing and Facilitating!
Where do I begin? Safari with AxisAfrica was so much fun! We stayed at Lenchada Camp, which was so welcoming, and met all of our needs. The food and service was very good. Our Safari guide was John, who was equally brilliant and ensured that we go to see the Big 5, up close and personal!
Now the part that AxisAfrica did the best, was being facilitating and helpful. Unfortunately on the second night of Safari, I fell unwell with a severe migraine. In the morning, we were due to begin the 7 hour journey to Lake Nakuru for day 3 and 4 of the Safari. However, the very second sat in the car, I vomited. I knew I would not be able to make the journey. So I asked our guide John, whether there was any scope for my husband and I to forgo the rest of the Safari, and just stay at Lenchada camp, and then make our own way to the airport the next day. We explained that we would be happy to pay for any extra costs associated with this. AxisAfrica stated that they were happy to arrange for us to continue to stay at Lenchada camp for the night, and that they would arrange our transfer to the airport the next day, at no extra charge! This was super nice of them, considering we changed our plans at the very last second! This meant a lot to me, as I was understandably very upset at being so physically unwell, and the worry of having to do a 7 hour journey scared me. However, AxisAfrica were so facilitating and ensured that I remained comfortable no matter what.
Honestly, do not hesitate to book with AxisAfrica. They are absolutely brilliant! The campsite is amazing, as are the guides, alongside the office staff who are impeccable at quick communication.

Cuckoo delivered a well organized tour with amazing memories.
I booked with Cuckoo Safaris after reading positive reviews. I’ll add mine to them. Incredible days in Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana in the company of friendly, knowledgeable guides. The game drives and boat excursions were great with numerous animal encounters. The Oct weather warm temps and clear skies. I’m glad it was off season. The game drive trails were not so full of vehicles and the river not congested with boats as I’ve heard it can be. Plus it’s dry season and the animals must visit the river to drink. Amazing to watch. I added a day trip to Impalila Island, Namibia to get the passport stamp. It’s a very simple little village of mud and stick houses. Not shops of any kind, women selling woven baskets. Loved Africa.
