Great safari
We had an amazing experience on this safari! We saw so many different types of animals right from the start, and most of these were so close to the car we had a great view. Our guide Lewis was very knowledgeable and could answer any question we put to him. The food and camping facilities were all great and better than expected. Chef Salim made sure we were always well fed with great food. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience
I am so happy that I have chosen a Blue Mountain for my safari adventure. We were a small group of two and chose to explore the Amboseli park. Due to short time we had only 2 days for this safari but thanks to our guide - Brian - his expertise and deep knowledge of animals and wildlife, we were able to spot most of the incredible creatures. Brian has deep knowledge of animals and wildlife & it’s clear that he loves what he does, which made the experience even more memorable and enjoyable—a true bonus when aiming for an unforgettable adventure. Also special thanks to the lady from the office for her remarkable patience, round-the-clock availability, and thoughtful advices, which proved invaluable in planning and organising our safari trip.

value for money
Only problem we face is the 1st day pickup from hotel is delay by more than an hour. (Suppose to pickup at 6:45-7am) But wait until 8am (no contact info given and email reply after 7:30pm) should provide WhatsApp or WeChat for easy communication. And day before should let us know who will pick us up and what time to pick up and contact information (specially WhatsApp)

Available and attentive to the needs of the guests.
The 5 day safari was beautiful and exciting. You can trust this agency, more or less everything as described during the tour negotiation. Reliable and honest. Our guide Six was available and pleasant during all the days of the safari. We recommend.

They provided quick reponses to our questions, a tour at short notice, and an outstanding guide
We found Axis an efficient organisation who were able to meet the dates we had available at short notice. They made clear what options there were and provided a detailed account of the programme, and of what was included, and what was not included. It was a well thought through schedule, and went to plan.
We did the 3 day budget tour in the Masai Mara and reckoned it good value for money, although you should be aware that the journey there and back takes many hours. On the main, middle day we saw a great variety of game, at close quarters, including 4 of the big 5 (Rhino's are scarce in the MM). Our guide, Peter, was excellent, and very knowledgeable. He clearly had good relationships with many of the other guides, which meant he was informed of sitings and was able to get us to see the maximum range of animals. He was also amongst the best at manoeuvring our vehicle into the optimal position for viewing, and persisted beyond the usual ending time so that we could see a Cheetah.
We thought the food provided was good. Being a budget, tented tour, the accommodation is obviously basic, and only cash could be used for drinks and local crafts. Our one reservation about our tour was that we were not convinced that the extra we paid for a small upgrade in terms of the camp we stayed at was worthwhile.

7 days tour
We visited Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli parks. the safari was amazing and we saw a bunch of animals. one thing though, I did not like most of the foods that were offered in the budget camps. I hope in the future they will be able to add more options for people who are not Kenyans.

I had the best experience with Escape to Adventure Safaris.
Escape to Adventure Safaris offers the best experience for someone who wants to reconnect with nature. Coming from the gloomy winter in Canada to an African adventure was a thrill to my Family. These guys offer the best service in Victoria Falls.
I recommend that anyone who wants the best vacation, try them first. The staff is super friendly and courteous….everything is done with a smile

Local friendly company with excellent service
I was a solo traveler and did a group joining budget safari. I was impressed by Lucy and Josephat at Savannah Woods, a small locally owned company. Lucy communicated with me promptly and clearly, and provided me with multipage detailed itineraries and hotel information. I especially appreciated that Lucy had visited all the hotels and put a lot of work into finding the best budget accommodations -- the camp I stayed at was a step above the other budget options. The service I received was clearly superior to the other companies I contacted for quotes and information.
Our driver/guide Andrew was excellent. He used the radio to communicate with other guides to figure out where the animals were at Masai Mara and went out of his way to make sure we didn't miss any viewing options. I was amazed at the number of big cats and different behaviors we saw at Masai Mara. He was fun to be around and was very knowledgeable about the animals.

Amazing luxury Safari in Amboseli
I highly recommend Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris. We did the 3 day Amboseli luxury Safari which was proceeded by a 2 day private tour of Nairobi, tailored by Mr. Alfred, the owner.
Mr. Alfred was easily accessible by WhatsApp and email and provided quick and satisfactory answers to all our questions. His drivers/guides were punctual and polite and our tour went smoothly without any hitches. The logistics were good.
Thank you Bencia!
