Best Travel company
Thank you for such a wonderful trip and for all the unforgettable memories. Everything was very well organized. The food was good, the accommodations were comfortable and as a solo traveler, I felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire journey.
A special thanks to Mr. Derrick, who was my point of contact during the booking process. He patiently answered all my questions, was always available to respond to my queries and helped me plan an amazing trip.
Dennis was an excellent driver and guide knowledgeable, patient and always made sure we had the best experience. Sylvester was also incredibly kind and welcoming. He took the time to show us around the city.
I would happily recommend your company to anyone planning a trip to Kenya. Thank you once again for an incredible experience. Until next time, Africa!

8 Day Safari Across Kenya
Thank you Axis Africa for organising an excellent Safari adventure. Communication was excellent throughout, making our trip smooth, and straight-forward to book.
We had the pleasure of spending 8 days on safari in Kenya with Marcos as our guide, and he was absolutely outstanding. His ability to spot wildlife was incredible. Time and again, he would point out animals that we simply could not see, even with our binoculars!
Marcos's knowledge of the wildlife, their behaviour, and the ecosystems of Kenya was exceptional. He was always enthusiastic, eager to share information, and it was clear that guiding is far more than just a job to him. His passion for Kenya, its wildlife, and its people really shone through every day.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Marcos and learned so much about Kenya during our trip. He played a huge part in making our safari such a memorable experience, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional guide.

Serviceteam was great. Guide was awful
We had a very disappointing experience. Our tour guide was rude and unfriendly, with very poor hygiene. He did not wash his hands after using the toilet and then handled bread and cheese with dirty hands. There was also a complete lack of communication.
In addition, we had four breakdowns with the vehicles. The cars were old, unreliable, and not suitable for use in the wilderness, which caused significant inconvenience.
On a positive note, the service team was excellent. They were very friendly, the food was great, and the tents were well set up and clean.
Unfortunately, due to these serious issues, we cannot recommend Kalahari Skies.

Exploring Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Heart
My family and I visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Diana Tanzania Safaris. All in all it was a great trip! As a women-owned company, the care and professionalism they have shown is truly commendable. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The best part is their social commitment - it's great to know that 10% of the profits from our tours are spent on local children and women.
Beautifully decorated and environmentally friendly. Will definitely be back! 🌍❤️

Leopard PAW delivered the perfect safari, Great service, great sightings.
We had a wonderful day at the Tsavo park,
The reception at the park was excellent and set the tone for the whole trip. Our tour guides were very friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable throughout.
We were lucky to see so many animals up close and the journey around the park was so smooth. It really felt effortless from start to finish.
I highly recommend visiting the park if you want to have unforgettable wildlife experience.

Nice guide/driver but bad business partner
Really had a wonderful journey with our field guide Mohammed. He is a decent man and an experienced guide. He has a very good skill at driving and he is the guy who can pull you out when the vehicle gets stuck in the mud. He is always happy to help people. Mohammed always tries his best to find animals and solves problems. We have spotted many amazing animals with his help.
BUT, if you don’t want to be asked to pay 120 USD surcharge just one week before your departure even with a contract signed off 2 months ago and pre-payment transferred, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER AGRNT.
Also, we were cheated by a KLA staff. He took us to a local restaurant and charged us 10 USD per person while we found the actual price is just about 2 USD. And this guy shared the additional 8 USD with the restaurant owner and thought we are fools and won’t be able to know. We’re really disappointed with this dishonest behavior.

Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family
Here’s a version that keeps all of the points you mentioned, gives James more credit, and still reads like a genuine review rather than something overly polished.
We had an amazing honeymoon safari with Bushtop Safaris and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
We did a private 5-day safari with 2 days in the Maasai Mara, 1 day at Lake Naivasha and 1 day in Lake Nakuru, travelling in a comfortable pop-top Land Cruiser.
Denis was excellent from the start. He always replied quickly, was easy to communicate with, tailored the trip to fit our schedule perfectly, and organised our airport pick-up and drop-off. He also recommended all of our accommodation, which was a great mix of lodges and tented camps. We were really happy with every place we stayed and the food was excellent.
The real highlight of the trip was our guide, James. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and passionate, and taught us so much about the animals, plants and Kenyan culture. His experience really showed throughout the safari, and he was well connected with other guides and rangers, which helped us find some amazing wildlife. Thanks to James, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, including a leopard and a black rhino, which were unforgettable moments on our honeymoon.
James was also very flexible and happily changed our itinerary when we asked, making sure we got the most out of every day. The Land Cruiser was clean, comfortable and perfect for game drives. He was also a very safe and competent driver. The long journeys between parks were so comfortable that my wife often fell asleep, and James always stopped regularly for breaks whenever we wanted one.
A huge thank you to James for making our honeymoon so memorable, and to Denis for organising such a fantastic trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bushtop Safaris.

The great adventure
As we embarked on our five day tour visiting four counties (Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia), the anticipation was high. Our group consisted of seven persons and everyone was blown away! We started at Victoria Falls, led by two knowledgeable tour guides. One on the Zimbabwe side and other guide on the Zambia side. The waterfall was absolutely breathtaking! We strongly recommend you to bring a change of clothes because the mist is actually a rain shower on the Zambia side...LOL. Our journey took us to Botswana, where we had a morning boat ride safari excursion that was a different view from the traditional jeep ride. There were many times that we believed our tour guide was too close to the hippo and crocodile but we lived on the edge and the photos that we captured were truly amazing pieces of art work! The next day in Botswana, we went to the game drive to see the lions. That excursion started at 6AM and as we watched the sun rise. WE were able to locate lions. Words cannot describe the feeling that we all experienced during that excursion. We were off to Namibia, where we went to visit the Impilia Island and took a tour of the village led by a native. We were meet by the Impalilan dancers and a bobo tree that was over thousand years old. It was an amazing journey that we will cherish and highly recommend to anyone who loves adventure and nature.
