Good organization with flexibility and great support
The self-drive tour was well organized, with an adequate vehicle and nice places for accommodations, and diverse things to do and see according to our wishes. In addition, the agency was really available to answer questions, organize the tour as we wished and even provide support during the tour. Very great

Amazing
Unforgettable Safari with Serengeti Smile! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Serengeti Smile from start to finish. The service was excellent, the organization was seamless, and everything exceeded our expectations.
A very special mention goes to our guide, Dominic, who was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, nature, and Serengeti, and his experience really made a difference. Dominic was patient, friendly, professional, and always focused on making sure we had the best possible experience. Thanks to him, we were able to see all of the Big Five and, most incredibly, witness the Great Migration crossing 🥹 something we will never forget!
The tents were comfortable and well maintained, the food was good, and the entire team was welcoming and attentive. Sleeping in the Serengeti and waking up surrounded by such incredible wildlife was a truly special experience.
If you are planning a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend Serengeti Smile, and especially Dominic as your guide. He made our trip unforgettable. Thank you, Dominic, and the whole Serengeti Smile team, for an incredible adventure! 🦁🐘🐆🦏🐃❤️

Very organised and great communication!
From the moment we booked with Akondo, the communication and organisation of the trip was exceptional. Any questions we had were answered promptly and they listened to everything we wanted within our package. Once we arrived in the Serengeti, we were greeted by our extremely knowledgeable and friendly safari guide Richard. He made our trip so enjoyable and we were able to capture images and videos which we will cherish forever thanks to him. His English was brilliant and he had a great understanding of the game drives and where the likely place would be to spot specific animals. He also made sure we arrived at our lodges with enough time to fully enjoy them after each day on the safari. Thank you Richard and Akondo Adventures for a perfect honeymoon trip!

Accurate, responsive. Easy to deal with
We were picked up at our Nairobi hotel by Peter, our driver and guide for the following 4 days. We drove to Naivasha and stayed at a beautiful camp, where we experienced our first close encounter with zebras, giraffes and other animals. After a lake boat ride the next day we went on to the Maasai Mara reserve. A several hours drive with rough spots (you can also choose to fly). We stayed 3 nights at a beautiful camp in a "tent" with bathroom and shower and electricity. The meals were all buffet style and adequate. I particularly liked the Indian food options. At the game rides with Peter, each of which was seveal hours ling and tailored to our taste and needs, we saw all kinds of animals at very close range: lions, cheetah, elephants, hypos, hyenas, crocodiles, giraffes, buffalo, countless varieties of antelope, etc. Peter was amazing at spotting them from far away and was an encyclopedia about their name and habits.

Safe for Solo and Wonderful Adventure
I had a wonderful time doing a 2.5 day safari in Akagera national park. Eric was very responsive to my questions and helped me feel comfortable booking. He also worked to meet my financial and booking needs to make this solo trip happen for me. I felt safe and had outstanding accomodations on the trip. My guide helped me see the wildlife I had hoped to see and was very knowledgable about the bird population. This helped me finish the trip of a lifetime in Rwanda.

An unforgettable seven-day safari with Axis Africa — thank you, Mohamed
I booked the seven-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli joining safari with Axis Africa after reading the glowing online reviews, and the company fully lived up to them. From my initial enquiries to the final day of the trip, everything was smooth and well organised. Tabitha in the office answered all my questions before booking, and her communication was always clear and responsive. Our group had the pleasure of having Mohamed as our guide, and he was truly fantastic. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the whole trip unforgettable. We saw the Big Five, and during the long drives he not only answered our questions but also told us about life in Kenya, local traditions, the people and family life. These conversations made the experience feel much more personal. His communication throughout the safari was excellent: we always knew where we were going, what we would be doing and what time we would be picked up the next day. From day one, he tried to remember everyone's names, which was a lovely touch. He also warned us before moving the car to get a different view of the animals, helping everyone avoid injury. These may seem like small details, but they showed how much he cared about giving guests the best possible experience. As a solo female traveller, I felt very safe and well looked after throughout the trip.
It is also worth noting that, with a joining safari, the group can change after the third or fourth day. My fellow travellers and I had not realised this beforehand. For the final part of my tour in Amboseli, I joined another group, with John as our guide. He was also knowledgeable and brought us back to Nairobi safe and sound.
I had an amazing time in Kenya. I met so many lovely people and saw countless incredible animals. Seeing them in their natural habitat for the very first time was truly special, and the sunset in the Masai Mara was unforgettable. If you are thinking about doing a safari, I would wholeheartedly recommend booking with Axis Africa — you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Axis Africa and Mohamed.

Best Safari Tour Operater Ever ✅✅
Our safari was perfectly organised from start to finish, and our tour guide Kisotu was simply outstanding! 🦁🐘🦒🐆
Kisotu's knowledge, experience, and incredible spotting skills helped us see so many rare animals that we would have otherwise missed. He has a real gift for finding wildlife and making every game drive exciting, memorable, and full of surprises. 👏👏
The entire safari experience exceeded all our expectations. It is hard to put into words just how amazing it was. Every detail was well planned, and the professionalism of the team made us feel comfortable and well looked after throughout the journey. 🌍✨
Thank you so much for providing one of the most wonderful experiences of our lives. We will highly recommend Kipruto Safaris to all our friends and family in Australia 🇦🇺.
A special thank you to Kisotu, Winston and the entire Kipruto team for creating unforgettable memories that will stay with us forever. ❤️🙏
Well done team! Keep up the fantastic work! 👌👍👏

They promise the big 5 (we missed rino)
Sammy promised that he would have done everything he could do to see the big 5, Unfortunatly due to traffic jam we could not visit the rino sanctuary included into program 😡… that said the rest of safari was really amazing.
The first 2 lodges where impressing with animals just feeding in front of our rooms … The last one instead there is room to improve from the rooms to the food … and yes with Wi-Fi because when you are away and there is no connection available is not a great things (no tour operator didn’t gave us the promise mobile that we could had used during the safari 🤔)
