Unforgettable Safari
Our safari with Taswira was simply perfect! Every day, we enjoyed delicious food, and dietary restrictions (e.g., gluten-free) were accommodated without any issues. Our guide and the chef were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and always there for us.
The safaris themselves were outstanding – we saw amazing wildlife and received fascinating information along the way. A special highlight was the food: while other safaris only provided lunch boxes, we always had a freshly prepared, warm meal.
The tents were spacious and equipped with mosquito protection, and the camps were all beautiful – we felt comfortable at all times. Taswira offers an absolutely recommendable safari experience that we would book again in a heartbeat!
Big thanks to Rocky and Samson!!!!

Well organised private tour
We decided to organise a 3-4 week tour of Laos/Vietnam and Cambodia and having been recommended by another travel agent we chose to go with Wayfairer Travel. From the initial planning, scheduling and extensive choice of excursions in each country we finally made up our minds on a private tour with driver and guide in each location throughout the tour. We were not to be dissapointed. The overall planning, advice and attention to detail from Wayfairer's specialists was outstanding. Even the Final itinerary with attached advice on health, currencies and contact details was provided in an easy to follow colourful digital format.
The tour itself was very well organised, with pick ups and hotel transfers all on time. We requested 4-5 star hotels and we certainly got what we paid for in each location. Excursions were all organised to suit our preferences and daily timescale. From half and full day tours to evening tours on the back of Vespas with bars, restaurants, street food and live music thrown in, we were kept busy.
We would recommend all three countries, all different, all full of history, architecture and varying landscapes. Above all the welcome received from meeting the local people going about their daily lives, learning to embrace and develop tourism as a way of life, many of them having lived through a much darker past made Indochina, for us, a fascinating and never to be forgotten destination.

Jon was so knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly.
This was a trip of a lifetime. It exceeded our expectations in every way! The food was great, our guide, Jon, was exceptional! We saw SO many animals and learned so much about them as well as the plant life. Everything was well organized and we felt completely safe throughout the experience. The company added little special touches that we did not notice with some of the other groups we encountered. We highly recommend Savannah Explorers!

Knowledgable
Tinyiko was a fabulous guide. He did a great job of explaining the history of South Africa. We book directly with the company and they were quick to answer our questions and to set up our private tour of 10. We also went to an informal settlement. This was very eye opening for us and especially for our children to see first hand.

The most wonderful guide one can ask for to visit Tanzania
Our first visit to Tanzania started at the Kenian/Tanzanian border where Abduli Steven Handu welcomed us and helped us with immigration proceedings. From there he drove us to the Serengeti and the Kontiki Camp situated in the pure wilderness, in midst of many animals, unbelievable peace and stars shining on us. The following morning we started at 7 am to explore the endless expanse of the Serengeti at some 60000 sqkm some 50% larger than Switzerland. Abduli through his knowledge and experience discovered the absolute highlight of our 9 hour game drive spending some 3 hours with 4 lion families, experiencing pups play, from one of the lions growling at the pups, taking a first bite of his wife’s lunch presentation (a fresh wilderbeest) to the lions trying to rest in the shade of our jeep. Abdul tried everything to find us a leopard resting on a tree. His eyes are perfect, he’s there for his clients, he’s eager to please and super kind. On our second day we drove through the Serengeti to Ngorongoro crater to find a local rhino! And yes he did succeed. Again his knowledge, Persistence paid off to also see buffalos, elephants, endless flamingos and hyenas. In the late afternoon we arrived in Karatu. Today upon our request we dropped all classic tourist stuff and went to a local market where bought us fruit and spices. We stopped a local clinic within a catholic school to get some itching remedy before saying hello to a local school class, helped sweeping the entrance of the church and talked to a teacher and the head master.
Everyone wishing to visit Tanzania via Clarity Travel should definitely request Abduli as their local partner - if we could give him 10 stars we would. The more bookings he gets the easier it becomes to get his daughters through school which is his single most important thing in life.

Dream safari holiday
Axis helped us curate a customised luxury holiday for our first visit to Kenya. We did a 5 day safari (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha) and coupled it with a short getaway at Diani Beach. It was organised end to end by Axis including the private safari, accommodations, internal flights and required transfers - all we had to do was to enjoy!
The entire experience was seamless and well crafted, from the organisation of the trip, the selection of great accommodations and the planning of the itinerary. The accommodation choices were on point.
Our representative Lucy not only helped us plan a great trip but also accompanied us throughout the trip until the very end ensuring that everything was going to plan. We are extremely grateful for her patience and support!
Our guide Julius was absolutely great during the safari. He knew the habitats and used his network to find animals and was also shared interesting facts and anecdotes. We ended up seeing a ton of lions and also elephants, rhinos (both white and black), cheetahs, hippos, gifaffes, and lots of other animals and birds. It was the first time seeing many of them and it was delightful!
Thank you Axis team for a great holiday! Highly recommend!

Going on a safari in Tanzania with Kimgoni was an unforgettable experience full of awe and wonder.
Regarding the safari with Kimgoni, communication was great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish, with no issues at all. The hotels, especially the lodge in the Serengeti, were comfortable and beyond my expectations. The service and hospitality were impeccable, and the food was excellent. I told my guide that I love big cats, and thanks to him, I was able to see all of them. He really went above and beyond to make that happen, and I will never thank him enough for it. However, I would have liked him to be a bit more talkative, offering more explanations. As a solo traveler, I would have appreciated a bit more conversation. Also, the guide was always on time, very reliable, and reassuring.

Excellent safari experience!
Beautifully planned 5 day safari with 3 days at Maasai Mara and 2 at Nakuru National Park. Our driver Timothy was very professional and genuinely passionate about his work with the keenest eye of us all. We had a group of six (3 locals and 3 visitors) and got the benefit of the latest addition to the team's fleet. An excellent time was had by all, despite the crazy bumpy road in the Mara. It was our first time to work with Lamech and the African Suburbs team but will definitely be back for our next adventure!
