Great company, too bad for our driver
$1700 per person, 6 days
We visited Masai Mara, Hell's Gate & Amboseli.
Cons:
- Scam(ish) behaviour
We were meant to pay $33 to visit Crescent Island and $30 to get there by boat. When we checked our gps, we found out that the boat hadn't taken us to the island, just 1km farther along the shore. We stayed there 10 mins then we were told to go back. I called our driver and told him we refused to pay 63 dollars per person for this, so he agreed to only make us pay for the boat ride. We had only agreed to the boat ride because he'd told me it was the only way to reach the island. We never got to visit the island because there was no more time left.
- Our driver was constantly on his phone.
Not only while driving, but even during safaris he wasn't really looking for animals cause he was staring at his phone. When we did find animals, we obviously tried to be quiet and listen to nature but he'd be watching videos on facebook or talking on the phone and ruin the moment (and the videos we took).
- He would tell us to wake up at 5.30am to leave very early, then show up 30mins late.
- He made a misogynistic comment at us about my friend being the one who should make decisions because I'm a woman, and shaming him for not doing so.
Pros:
- sufficiently trustworthy
- best price we found
- accomodation was GREAT. good food, very good rooms, it felt like we paid for the budget option but got the luxury one.
- we met another staff member, in charge of making us food one night, and he was very very kind and a great cook
- they reply to texts and emails very quickly
- they are readily available if you want to change the arranged schedule in any way.
- there really aren't any additional expenses whatsover except the optional ones that are specified within the program. food, water, car fuel and anything you can think of are included in the agreed price.

Lovely custom safari
Keny Bush Expeditions did us a great service by allowing us to dial up the safari we wanted and make it work for us. We spent 2 days in Amboseli and 1 day in Tsavo East to see the red elephants. Just marvelous! And our driver was a joy to spend the 4 days with. They even dropped us off in Diani when the safari was finished. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

Clear/consistent communication and jam packed itinerary!
There is no better way to describe this package as one that will leave you feeling like you got your moneys worth! I am still in awe do everything we were able to fit into our 4 days/3 nights.
The hotel choices provided some of the best views we have seen, their incredible driver Max knew how to navigate each park and the communication leading up to the program was swift and consistent which was important me when wanting to feel confident in planning overseas travel.
They are a smaller/newer program which is clear and I hope to see them mature/grow with time as they uplevel their offerings to compete with some of the larger companies out there.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Eberhard
Impressive suede and beautiful Landscape. Many tourists and the visit was rather short.

Better than I expected.
Safari in Tanzania was unforgettable. We visited Serengeti Park and Nogorongoro Crater. Three days in the car, but it was not boring. A lot of animals - especially zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, lions. In Ngoringoro Crater the same only more birds. Our tour operator was at a high level, as in Europe.

Perfect
The safari experience was truly incredible and something I would absolutely recommend to anyone considering it. We did a four-day safari and overall had a wonderful time. Our driver, Gifty, was excellent—very kind, cheerful, and always willing to help and show us as much as possible. I was completely satisfied with him, and he definitely contributed to making our experience even better.
The only aspect that could be improved is the food. Personally, I was not very satisfied with either the quantity or the quality, except for one dinner which was very good. Most of the time the portions were just barely enough, and sometimes it seemed like there wasn’t quite enough for everyone. Nevertheless, the safari itself was a unique experience and one that I would still highly recommend. 🦁🌿

Best in the business!
It was one of our most memorable trips. Axis Safari helped us curate the entire safari perfectly. They have packages for all budgets and great plans. Their tour guides are amazing and poses great knowledge about the entire reserve. Great communication and very friendly. Food options alone can be better in terms quantity in camps. Our guide khalifa was amazing and fun to be with, he gave lot of insights about the animals and culture. Overall it was an amazing safari.
Budget Safari but still a great experience
This was a budget trip, sleeping in canvas tents and a room with comfy bed one night. Only the one place had a warm shower but that did not worry us at all. Food was basic but delicious and ample. The 4x4 vehicle was comfortable considering road conditions with a pop up roof. Our driver was excellent in difficult road conditions and we saw everything, big five, hyenas and lions feeding and much more.

Beautiful experience
Our 5-day safari in the Serengeti was without a doubt one of the most beautiful travel experiences we've ever had. From the moment we drove into the park, it felt like we were in the middle of a nature documentary.
The vast plains of Serengeti National Park are impressive, and there's wildlife everywhere you look. During the game drives, we saw an incredible number of animals: lions lounging in the shade, giraffes strolling leisurely alongside the jeep, and huge herds of wildebeest and zebras roaming the savannah.
Our guide, Habibu, was fantastic. He knew exactly where we needed to be and told us so much about the animals and the ecosystem. Thanks to him, we saw a huge variety of wildlife in a short time.
Five days turned out to be just the right length: enough time to explore different parts of the park without feeling rushed.
In short: an unforgettable experience. The Serengeti is truly a place you have to see at least once in your life.

Very good
Our driver Rudzani was excellent . He has always been very nice and very helpful. The driver of the safari,Muzy,was also excellent and did everything he could to look for the animals of the safari and to explain interesting things about them. The room was nice and clean. The picnic breakfast was of very poor quality. And the food at the restaurant needs improvement as well..
