UNBEATABLE EXPERIENCE
There is no better option in Tanzania for a safari than "Mountain Warriors." True professionals in the field. The booking and payment process was very easy and secure. The staff was wonderful, with both our driver Bwana and our chef Inocent making the experience unforgettable. Their knowledge of the animals, the stay in the best national parks of the country, and the tasting of local food made the safari one of the best trips of our lives. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to experience wildlife in its purest form.

VISIT UGANDA, forget the rest. Lots of animals, beautiful countryside, and welcoming people
Unbelievable experience!!! Don't be afraid to go to Uganda, with a few stipulations. Do NOT go anywhere near the Sudan border. Don't just go and be put in what we saw were labeled tourist vehicles. Some of these were mini vans without a pop up roof and had many people inside. Others had pop up roofs but usually had 6 people crammed inside with everyone trying to get their great safari shots. You definitely will want to go with a tour company that will have you in a 4X4 vehicle (ours was a Toyota Land Cruiser) with a tour guide. Not just a driver. A guide, like the one we had, knows the country, the people, the animals and the history. Karim, our guide, with Home To Africa Company was nothing short of excellent. Fellow guides communicate with each other letting others know what they had seen or didn't see. Otherwise, we may not have seen the elusive leopard. Be sure to ask how your tour company books people. Will you be with people you don't know? (red flag for us) Home To Africa does not mix groups. They know different people have different interests. You don't want to be unhappy with fellow travelers, especially those who may not be as prompt a traveler as you are.
We did the 10 day- Big 5 Tour. Rhino sanctuary- A+, Murchinson NP- A, top of the falls- A-, boat trip on the Nile near falls- A-, Bugodi wetlands and community visit- B+, Queen Elizabeth NP- A-, Kazinga Channel boat tour- A-, chimp trekking-B, gorilla trekking A++, Lake Mauro NP- A.

Trip of a lifetime!
Wow!! We recently spent 4 days at the Karen Blixen Camp, North Mara Conservancy (booked with The Out of Africa Experience) & I can honestly say it blew our minds, the camp & staff were amazing, the accommodation exceptional & the safari experience was out of the world, we saw so many animals in their natural habitat, our guide was fantastic, clearly very experienced & was a pleasure to spend time with. We felt that every day was an unbelievable treat - thank you

Passionate, loving, welcoming and easygoing
Ben has done a brilliant job. This has been my best travelling experience ever. His passion for travel and sharing experiences with clients is very strong. He has put in the work on the backend and in the administrative process to make the tour as smooth as possibly yet also making the most of visiting such a beautiful part of the world. He has a wealth of knowledge in every aspect of South Africa and his love for the country is very prominent. He also has a very astute and friendly personality. He has the ability to read his tour group members and do his best to fulfill their needs at every stage of the tour and is just an all round great person to travel with. He also has many valuable networks with locals who are a great contribution to the experience a great balance of typical tourism as well as a true insight to the day to day local life and culture. I could not recommend Ben enough, he was key facilitator in elevating the trip to South Africa from a good trip to a trip that I will honestly cherish for the rest of my life and will go back in a heartbeat for myself but to also visit Ben again.

He was kind and personable and prioritized us having the experience that we wanted.
I was referred to Extra Miles Unique Adventures by a fried and they did not disappoint. From the first encounter through text and call, I was assigned an agent who facilitated my bookings and made sure that we were provided with everything that we needed before the day of the excursion. The tour operator was also on time and arrived very prepared. They were also very understanding with and budget friendly. They work with everyone depending on their budget and make sure you enjoy the trip as much as possible. We did a two day safari and a 4 day Diani and we enjoyed every bit of it. Their customer service was also great-Something I definitely appreciate.
I will definitely do another trip with this company again.

Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli private safari - an amazing, unforgettable family adventure
This safari adventure was an incredible once in a lifetime experience for my family (my wife, daughters aged 10 and 11, and I).
Our guide Khalifa was exceptional - his knowledge of the animals, the people and the places was outstanding and he made the whole trip informative, relaxing and great fun. Nothing was a problem and he went above and beyond his job to help when we had a few issues with our return flight arrangements which I'd booked independently. I don't believe that anyone could do the job better than he did - it's not possible. My kids were most disappointed that he wasn't joining us on our post-safari trip to Zanzibar!
Our exposure to the wildlife was way better than I'd expected - we saw everything we could have hoped for and more. Masai Mara was the highlight for wildlife viewing, Nakuru was the best hotel and offered a different landscape and variety of wildlife, and a highlight of Amboseli was seeing the wildlife with Mount Kilimajaro as the backdrop. We now have hundreds of amazing photos to sort through to decide which pictures to put up on the walls at home.
We stayed at Sopa Lodges in each location and the accommodation, food and service was of a very high standard throughout. I found the planning through Axis Africa to be very straightforward and reliable due to timely communication from Lucy, and everything on the safari was as planned in the itinerary.
Overall, a fantastic family adventure that we'll never forget - I can highly recommend this company without reservation. A big shout out for our guide Khalifa is necessary - his knowledge, character and kindness added huge positivity and made a massive contribution to making this such a great experience.

Simply The best
Me and my boyfriend came in Tanzania From Italy and booked 3 days tour with 2 days Safari and one day hiking Kilimanjaro.
I can’t even describe how beautiful and amazing was. We went to Tarangire and Ngorongoro, we can see lot of animals and our Safari Guide Simon was so patient and kind. Also Food was good. Agency organization was perfect, all was great. The day hike on Kilimanjaro was great and we recommend it if we have only few days for visit Tanzania. We really recommend this travel agent, affordable prices and very good quality.
We hope will be back in Tanzania with this Agency very soon 🙏🏼
