Unforgettable experience!
Innocent (Arico), Freddy, and Robby were our guides on an 8 day Lemosho trek. They were extremely knowledgeable and attentive to every need. They carefully watched for altitude sickness and helped us successfully reach the summit. Aside from being experienced guides, they also were great people to be around while on the trail and at camp. The food was amazing, and they even had a miracle tea to help one of our members who became sick just before summit day.
Great experience, can't imagine having better guides. Thanks a ton!

Kush guided us on an unforgettable Journey through Africa’s Untamed Beauty
If you're seeking an African safari experience that combines great service with an authentic touch, Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris is the tour operator to choose. From the moment we reached out to them, their communication was prompt, informative, and tailored to my interests. They provided detailed itineraries and were always available to address my queries, making the planning process a breeze.
The service throughout the safari was outstanding. Kush was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife, ensuring every game drive was both thrilling and educational. The mid range accommodations were good, offering comfort amidst the wilderness.
Overall, the tour itself was a breathtaking adventure. From the awe-inspiring wildlife sightings to the serene beauty of the landscapes, every moment was memorable. I highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris to fellow travelers looking for a seamless and extraordinary safari experience.

The Suricata dream team made this the most unforgettable experience!
Wow what an unforgettable experience! I booked my six day private safari with Suricata Safaris online and I can say that when I come back with the rest of my family I will 100% be booking with them again.
So where to start, first off Chuke, what an absolute legend of a guy. I arrived in Arusha a day early and asked Suricata what I could do around town and they immediately organised Chuke to meet me the next day for a full tour of Arusha and also to fulfil a request of mine to donate to a local organisation in need. I’ve travelled personally to around 40 countries and Chuke is the best host I’ve ever had for a city tour. We spent a good part of the day helping a local childcare as I’d requested, which was amazing, and also we toured the city by car and on foot through markets, met a lot of locals and friends he knew personally that really added to the experience, had lunch at his favourite restaurant, this was a personal tour, not just your typical commercial style. Through a Chuke’s connections we even finished the day with a special rooftop view of Arusha that I can guarantee is not on any other tour’s list…Chuke was then my briefer for the Safari due to start the next day and just made the whole experience super smooth. There were no hidden catches or fees like happens so often, just exactly as described, which I loved. (And when I returned back from my safari Chuke was there at my hotel waiting, with a huge smile and a hug. He then made sure I was all sorted and my airport transfer (included) was setup as it needed to be. Honestly I didn’t need to worry about a thing).
The first morning of my Safari I was greeted with a warm smile at my hotel by my guide for the next six days ‘Golden’. When you’re travelling solo having a good rapport with your guide is so crucial and I knew straight away that this wasn’t going to be an issue. First stop was Tarangire National Park which was epic and so well worth it. Golden knew all the best spots, often taking me locations not frequented by the other jeeps to find ‘hidden treasures’ of the park. (This continued all week).
Along the way to Serengeti we picked up our personal chef for the six days Jeremiah (yes I was very spoilt!). Over the next six days he produced restaurant quality three course meals breakfast lunch and dinner on his own that simply blew my mind. He even baked fresh bread over charcoal morning and night, the food was so so good I made him give me some recipes to take home. It was a bit of a running joke that other tour guides didn’t want to sit their clients next to us at the picnic lunch spots because while they had their cardboard boxed lunches, we had three course restaurant quality! The other guides didn’t want their clients asking why they didn’t have what we had!
Once we got to Serengeti we were lucky to have three nights four days to really experience the park. Like Golden said, many people come to Serengeti, but very few really experience what it has to offer. We drove far and wide, away from the hustle of central Serengeti and man did it pay its rewards. We saw the ‘big five’ but so so much more. Countless up close and personal experiences with lions, and also Cheetahs and Leopards (and everything else) that can’t be found without an extremely knowledgeable guide. I have absolutely no doubt that this experience would not have been what it was if I didn’t have Golden as my guide. If you’re going Suricata, you want Golden. Trust me.
On my last day in Ngogorogoro Crater, everyone was on the hunt for a Rhino when we arrived in the morning, no guides had found one. Golden drove us straight to a location and within a minute found two rhinos, the only sighting that day and soon enough we were surrounded by a dozen cars all asking where to see them. Very cool to be in that team.
On my way home I’d even shown an interest in purchasing Tanzanite and Golden personally took me into Arusha in his own time to make sure I didn’t get ripped off and got a good deal.
It was genuinely a sad day saying goodbye to Chuke, Golden and Jeremiah. I don’t normally write reviews but I just had such a great experience with these guys that I felt it needed it, and also I know how hard/scary it can be booking online from overseas when you have no idea what the company is like. I’ve just done that work for you.
And also the value for money was exceptional in my opinion. Others I met couldn’t believe the great price I paid compared to them and they didn’t get the perks I did!
Suricata all the way. Thank me later.

Wonderful experience! Velam made the holiday unique and unforgettable
It was a truly wonderful holiday.

Velam THANK YOU! Number 1, absolutely top
It is almost impossible to find the right words to fully express all the emotions I felt on this holiday with my partner, we have within us a combination of joy, happiness and recognition.
Adam was fantastically GREAT! He followed everything down to the smallest detail and nothing went wrong.
He and our guide Graziano were exceptional, priceless.
We will return to travel with Adam and his Velam: certainties and quality. Hurray!!!
