Reliable Organized Tour Operator
We enjoyed an excellent four day tour of Lake Mburo and Queen Elizabeth National Parks in early May with Semu. The parks and lodges were quieter at that time of year, which made the experience even better, and the weather cooperated throughout. We were fortunate to have Edison join us, along with Jimmy, our driver and guide. From the earliest planning stages right through to the end of the trip, Edison provided clear, helpful information and always responded promptly.
For our budget accommodations, I was pleasantly surprised by Mpogo Lodge — it was outstanding. Our second stay at Engiri Game Lodge offered a different charm: the huts were simple but comfortable, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We were even treated to daily visits from elephants wandering through the property, which was such a memorable highlight. Meals at both lodges were very good.
The itinerary kept us busy, with several activities each day. We saw an impressive variety of wildlife, thanks in large part to Jimmy’s sharp eye — he often spotted animals long before we did. Although the drives from Kampala to the parks were long, they were enjoyable, with plenty to see along the way. Our guides did everything possible to make the trip smooth and enjoyable.
We added an extra day to visit Jinja and the Source of the Nile, and it was absolutely worth it.
Overall, it was a fantastic trip filled with lasting memories. I highly recommend booking with Semu.

Great tour and excellent communication throughout
I did a 6 day Tanzania safari tour via Sacred Wilderness Expeditions in May. I saw Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Materuni Waterfalls.
During the planning of the trip Lulu at Sacred Wilderness was always super quick to respond to any questions i had (usually within an hour, despite my timezone being in Australia) and the same was the case during the safari. Whenever i had a question about timing, drop/offs or pickups or anything else, Lulu was always there and super helpful. The guides we had, Mike and Jonathan were both awesome, knew the parks and animals very well and were super polite, helpful and i always felt safe with them.
I would definitely recommend Sacred Wilderness to organise a safari trip to first timers like me or anyone else. They were awesome

Amazing safari experience with an incredible guide
I did the 3 days / 2 nights Masai Mara group safari and honestly had such an amazing experience from beginning to end. Everything was very well organized and smooth, and I never had any problems during the trip.
Our guide Francis was absolutely incredible! you could really tell how experienced and knowledgeable he was. He always did his best to make sure we saw as many animals as possible and gave us a truly unforgettable safari experience. Even in just 3 days, we saw so much wildlife and experienced a lot, including the Maasai Mara itself, the Maasai Village, and so many beautiful landscapes and moments during the game drives.
He was also super friendly and made the whole atmosphere really comfortable and fun. The group was relaxed as well, which made the experience even better.
Overall, it was such a beautiful experience and definitely one of the highlights of my time in Kenya. I would 100% recommend Axis Africa Safaris.

Responsive, thorough, professional
Based on a referral from a Kenyan on a cruise ship i was aboard, I contacted Dennis and he proposed an itinerary for a private daytour in Mombasa which would include 3 landmarks I specified, at a reasonable cost.
My guide was punctual, got me to the three sites, plus several other intriguing venues which were rich in local culture. He was erudite and informative, accompanying me in the preserve and the cooperative campus.
