Good Quality Private Game Drive Trip
Our tour with Jocky was six days long and we visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. The lodging was good, food was tasty, our vehicle was a nice 4x4 Land Cruiser, and our guide, Caxstone, was helpful spotting animals.

Very good safari experience overall
We had a very good safari experience overall, and we would especially like to highlight our driver, Ben. He was extremely professional, punctual and clearly very experienced. It was also clear that he genuinely enjoys his job and takes pride in what he does.
In just two days of safari, we were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five, which was one of the highlights of our trip. Ben is also a very good photographer and kindly shared the photos he took with us at the end of the safari. This was a lovely extra and something we really appreciated.
Ben was consistently punctual and always respected the schedules and timings that had been communicated to us, which made the whole experience very smooth and well organised. His driving skills were also excellent, and we always felt safe and comfortable during the game drives.
There are, however, a couple of areas that we think could be improved. The main one is the guiding and communication. The driver-guide was not particularly communicative and did not spontaneously provide much information about the animals, their behaviour or the ecosystem. When we asked questions, he was happy to answer and provided useful information, but the experience was more that of having an experienced driver who knows the park very well than having a traditional safari guide who actively explains what you are seeing throughout the game drive. For us, this was the main difference.
We would also like to mention the pressure placed on drivers regarding reviews. We had the impression that drivers are under quite a lot of pressure to obtain positive reviews from clients, and this made us feel somewhat uncomfortable. We completely understand that reviews are important to a company, but we believe this could be handled more carefully by the management of Axis Africa Safari. Drivers should not feel that they have to put pressure on clients to leave a review, particularly a positive one. We believe that allowing reviews to happen naturally would make the experience more relaxed and enjoyable for both clients and drivers.
Overall, we had a positive experience and are especially grateful to Ben for his professionalism, excellent driving skills, punctuality and for helping us have such a successful safari. Seeing the Big Five in just two days was an unforgettable experience, and Ben played an important role in making it possible.

Amazing safari experience
We booked our safari at kilipath african safaris with happy! She was very quick to respond and planned everything according to our wishes and expectations. Except for the leopard, we were able to see all the other Big Five animals and many more.
Since it was a 2-day tour and we didn't want to spend too much money, she also tried to offer us a more budget-friendly accommodation. The accommodation was okay for one night, but we were a bit disappointed as it didn't quite meet our hygiene standards.
Hence the 1-star deduction, but otherwise everything was perfect. So just go for a mid-range accommodation instead of a budget one then you can truly trust them blindly and have your best safari tour ever with Kilipath African Safaris! ✔️😊
Thank you Happy & Frenk (our safari driver)

Honeymoon Safari
We had a really good experience with Jambo Masai Tours overall. Communication was good throughout, and our guide, Shaban, was great. He listened to what we wanted to see and made a real effort to tailor the safari around that.
The accommodation was generally very good, with the exception of one place that wasn’t quite to the same standard as the others. Overall, we felt the safari itself was good value for money and we really enjoyed the experience.
The only thing I probably wouldn’t recommend is the hot air balloon experience, as we didn’t feel it was worth the additional cost. Aside from that, we were very happy with the safari and would recommend Jambo Masai Tours.

Very well organized, the operator explained everything
Very well organized, unfortunately we were not able to see wild cats in small range but we saw the rest of the animals.

Convenient
We organised a Maasai mara safari and mt Kenya hike with vital view safari. They were very helpful and it was convenient to have everything organised for us. Our tour operator was fast to respond if we had any problems. We could have got the tour for quite a bit cheaper if we’d organised through the guides/ drivers personally afterwards is our only complaint. Otherwise it was a great experience.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience
My partner and I booked an 11-day safari with Top Selected Tours and had an unforgettable experience overall.
Our guides, John and Emanuel, made the safari truly special. John was an exceptional guide who listened to what we wanted to see and always managed to find our favorite animals. His knowledge of wildlife and landscapes made every game drive exciting and educational. Emanuel prepared delicious meals every day and took great care to accommodate our vegetarian diet.
Unfortunately, there were some organizational at the beginning of the trip (before we met our guides). Despite these issues, the safari itself was outstanding thanks to John, Emanuel, and the other guides. With better communication and organization, the experience could have been perfect.

Precise,accurate and very available from the very beginning to the end
We have lived so many wonderful moments with Mateo and our guides really know what "welcome "means.
Regarding the organization of the safari itself we really appreciated the way Patrick answered our numerous questions which clearly contributed to our choice. Second,all has been arranged as originally planned ...and always on time...The only surprises we had were due to nature🤩And our guides happened to be unbelievable drivers as well as very effective guides especially as far as photography was concerned. They always did their best and even more to enable us to get as close as possible to the animals choosing the right angle so that I take The Picture .
