I will never forget this safari
The three of us had booked a 4-day safari in Nyerere National Park. There was a boat safari and two-day game drive and a walking safari. The accommodation in Mloka was excellent and we were well looked after. The food in particular was a highlight. We had two guides Mudi and Gladia. The two of them accompanied us throughout our safari and did everything to make our first safari unforgettable. We were picked up and brought back from the hotel in Dar es Salaam in the coolest jeep ever. All in all, we had a lot of fun and felt completely comfortable. Value for money was very good and despite the rainy season we were able to see everything we wanted. Ps: Mudi is the best driver we have ever met.

Fantastic. Loved every minute.
We pre-booked our safari while still in England. We searched a lot of companies but Akondo seemed to have a little bit more luxury.
The process was so easy we advised Boris what we wanted and he put together a package for us. He sent a link for payment and within an hour we had our flight details and booking confirmations. We opted for two nights and three days.
We were on holiday in Zanzibar and a driver picked us up from our resort and Richard and Boris greeted us on arrival to Tanzania.
Richard escorted us for three days to three different reserves and was excellent. He knew everything about the animals and it was so interesting to hear about and we learned so much. We saw all the animals we wanted to and will have memories to last a lifetime. I cannot recommend Akondo enough, the hotels we stayed in were outstanding, 5⭐️ with our own infinity pool and even butler service. Everything felt extra special.

A most fantastic experience with Axis Africa Expeditions!
I’ve just returned from this fabulous 3-day Masai Mara trip and it’s ended up being one of the most memorable experiences in life! Mine was an absolute last minute booking request (the previous evening before departure) and Cynthia’s handling of it was super prompt and smooth.
The tour itself was beyond amazing, all thanks to our fantastic guide Charles, fondly called Sir Charles! He made our Safari fun and packed it with loads of tidbits on animals and animal behaviour, his informative commentary laced with humour! He also made sure we were able to get in time for all the mesmerising sightings, thanks to (I’m guessing) his brilliant information network! And he made sure to accommodate the requests of everybody in his landcruiser group!
I stayed at the Flair Camp and cannot recommend it enough for their warm hospitality and great food! At no point did anything feel unsafe for me as a female solo traveller.
All in all, absolute 5-star trip all around, and I found it to be great value for money. I hope to be back for more trips with Axis Africa.

Experience
We opted for a budget safari, staying in simple lodges and tented camps. Goodluck organized the entire tour based on our preferences, starting with Tarangire, followed by Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater and we ended the tour at Lake Eyasi while visiting the Hadzabe tribes. Goodluck helped during planning the trip, he swiftly responded all the time before but also during the trip. While the accommodations were basic, the incredible wildlife more than made up for it. Our guide, Louis, and chef, Idrissa, took excellent care of us throughout the journey. Thanks to Louis, we had amazing sightings, including the Big Five. It was a fantastic adventure—an authentic experience surrounded by stunning landscapes and breathtaking nature. Each park had its own unique beauty, making the journey truly unforgettable.
Thanks again Seregenti Wakanda, we had an unforgettable experience and truly enjoyed our safari.

It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, thanks to the tour operator’s exceptional service
Planning my trip to Tanzania with Kuzurura Safaris and Arts was the best decision I’ve ever made. They crafted an unforgettable experience, ensuring every moment was filled with adventure and joy. From breathtaking landscapes to cultural gems, they made sure we enjoyed every place they took us. Their exceptional care and attention to detail made the journey seamless and truly special. We didn’t just explore Tanzania—we gained a family along the way. Huge thanks to Mesika and Joseph for their warmth and dedication. I highly recommend Kuzurura Safaris and Arts for an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

18-Days Safari Exploring Almost All Uganda’s National Parks
18 Days, All of Uganda, and a Ton of Adventure!
If you're going to Uganda, do it properly! Our group of twelve spent January 28 – February 14, 2025, on an unforgettable journey with Tubale Safari’s tour: “18-Days Safari Exploring Almost All Uganda’s National Parks” (yes, it was just as epic as it sounds!). And we don’t regret a second of it – this trip felt like a National Geographic documentary, but without the TV screen and popcorn.
Most visitors come to Uganda mainly for gorillas and chimpanzees (understandably so – who can resist those big, soulful eyes?), but we wanted more. No basic “must-see” checklist for us – we aimed to truly get to know the country. Some in our group were seasoned Africa travelers (for the seventh time, no less!), so we have plenty of experience for comparison. And we can say with certainty: this trip was top-notch!
The itinerary was put together with expert precision, offering the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and delicious meals. The accommodations were fantastic, the food was excellent, and our drivers? Absolute legends! Kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable – they made sure every moment was smooth and enjoyable. A special shout-out to Annette, who did an amazing job planning everything down to the finest detail.
And, of course, the wildlife! There was plenty of it, magnificent and exactly where it should be – in its natural habitat. Every national park on the itinerary was fascinating, but Kidepo Valley… that was a true hidden gem, a breathtaking landscape straight out of a dream. Meeting the Karamojong people was another highlight, offering a deep dive into local culture. White-water rafting on the Nile gave us a thrill, and then… the gorillas and chimpanzees. No words needed – just WOW!
There’s simply too much to sum up in words. But if you have the time and opportunity – this trip is highly recommended! A huge thank you to everyone who made this adventure unforgettable!

Excellent from the start til the end
Efficient planning from the beginning til the end.The journey started with paying the balance money of the tour at the office.Then was sent to another spot where other tourists were waiting.Took a 4WD to Masai Mara,guided by Abdul Dennis.Vehicle was comfortable.Was sent over to Flair Camp Experiences.Very good lodge with good value with fullboard meal.They served fine dining style like food during breakfast,lunch and dinner.Electricity was working well with hot shower and wifi.Evening game on the first day was excellent as we got to see many animals and sunset.The second full day game was great too and although we didn't get to see Rhinoceros(one of the big five),but we got to see plenty other animals.Definitely worth it.Abdul Dennis has tried his best to locate all the animals for us.He is a great guide.Overall everything is great.Shall return back again in the future.

Brilliant experience, would recommend everyone
My girlfriend and I had an amazing trip and unforgettable experience with Kihinido Tours and Safaris for a reasonable price.
First I came in touch with Winnie, who answered me every question immediately. I felt free to ask everything, even if the question seemed dumb. She was very polite and professional, and the booking process was very easy and fast. Then she also considered our wishes, like additional breakfast and the pick-up place.
Then the actual trip started, and Michael picked us up from our hotel in Dar es Salaam. He was on point and very polite even if it was 4 am in the morning. We had a very pleasant 4-hour ride to the Mloka Safari lodge and a very nice talk with Michael. His English is very fluent, and he is also a smart person one can have interesting conversations with.
The Mloka Safari lodge was not very special or luxurious, but the staff was very polite and the food was also very delicious. After that we went on a full-day (9 am - 6.30 pm) game drive in Nyerere National Park with Michael and Tiko. For us the day was unforgettable; besides very nice and unique landscapes, we saw giraffes, lions, elephants, crocodiles, hippos, and much more. Michael and Tiko also told us very much about the animals, which was very interesting. Their passion for what they were doing was contagious.
We also learned much about their lives and Tanzania in general and told them things about Germany. We felt very safe all the time, and the two were trying their best to show us much. This game drive surpassed our expectations.
On the next day we had a boat drive in the morning in the Rufiji River, which lasted 2 hours. Luckily the boat was covered with a roof so the strong rain was bearable. We enjoyed this experience, where we saw hippos, crocodiles, and monkeys because of the unique landscape, but would not do it a second time. I would recommend talking to Kihinido Tours and adding an additional game drive in the morning instead of the boat drive, which I assume would be possible because of the flexibility of this company.
Ultimately the ride back was also very pleasant, and we talked for hours with Michael. He brought us to the airport in Dar es Salaam, and we arrived on time for our flight.
To come to an end, I would really recommend this company for a safari because our experience was perfect. Every person we were involved with (especially Michael) was very polite and professional. We also would really recommend doing a two-day (or longer) trip instead of a one-day trip like people who are staying in Zanzibar like to do. We also stayed actually in Zanzibar but came to Dar es Salaam for the safari and spent three very nice days on the mainland, which was the highlight of our vacation. I recommend everybody choose this company for a safari experience, and especially the people we were in touch with. Thank you for everything.

We had an unforgettable safari experience with this company and highly recommend their services.
From start to finish, everything was organized perfectly — the lodges were beautiful, the itinerary was well-planned, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
A special thank you to our guide and driver, Ken, who truly made this trip exceptional. Ken is not only an incredibly skilled and safe driver — which made us feel comfortable at all times — but also a highly knowledgeable and passionate guide. He went above and beyond every day to ensure we saw as many animals as possible, sharing his expertise and tracking skills to give us the best possible sightings. On top of that, Ken is a genuinely kind and pleasant person, which made our time together even more enjoyable.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, you can’t go wrong with this company — they made the trip truly special!

Professional and patient
The vehicles were clean and well maintained, the drivers were fun, professional and respectful of the animals. Excellent value for money and again, the drivers made it excellent. We had a very good lunch as well! Clare was very good at managing our groups tour details. We never had to wonder what was going on because communication was excellent 👌
