Professional
This was one of the best experiences of my life. We had Emmanuel Chamboa as our guide (and driver) for a 3-days private safari covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. Emmanuel is a great driver, and he's a really polite and gentle person. He patiently asked all our questions regarding the wildlife we saw, and he has a gift to spot the animals in the park (even those that are harder to find). If I ever have the chance to come back to Tanzania, I will definitively try to have Emmanuel as a guide

A smart, funny, warm, and loving person.
We became very close to our guide Tesha. To us, he felt like a father figure — he took care of everything for us, explained everything in such a warm, engaging, and enriching way, and we learned so much from him.
We spent hours talking in the car about history, geology, wildlife, different cultures, and, of course, life itself.

Friendly, reliable, helpful
The two of us went on a 6-day shared safari organized by Tanzania Pilgrimage. Thanks to the lower number of tourists during the off-season, we shared a jeep with two other travelers from the Travel Africa Safari Agency. Everything went smoothly, and we had a great time.
A special thanks goes to our guide, Julius. He was very friendly and always happy to explain the unique features of the savanna. Despite the dusty and bumpy roads, we felt we were in good hands with him. If we wanted a little more time to observe the animals, it was never a problem, so the experience never felt rushed.
With a bit of luck, we saw the Great Migration, all of the "Big Five" and countless other animals.
On the last day, we drove to Lake Natron. The lake is beautifully situated with a view of Ol Doinyo Lengai. However, the drive was too long and exhausting for a day trip, so it’s not something we would do again.
The highlight was definitely the Serengeti with its endless expanse. We would certainly recommend spending three days there. But we were also constantly amazed during the day trips to Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Exceptional safari experience, made unforgettable by our knowledgeable guide, Kelvin Ngamiya.
We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. From the planning and communication to the actual game drives, everything was handled professionally and reliably.
A very special mention goes to our guide, Kelvin Ngamiya, who made our safari truly memorable. He is extremely knowledgeable, punctual, patient and attentive to every request. What impressed us most was his experience and tactical approach during game drives—he knew where to search, where to wait patiently and when it was time to move to another location.
Thanks to his efforts, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, including both black and white rhinos. Our sightings were incredible: around 22 lions, 2 leopards, a cheetah with a kill, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, and many other animals.
The highlights went even beyond the Big Five. We witnessed wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River, as well as the dramatic sight of crocodiles catching a zebra and a wildebeest during the crossing. These were truly once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Kelvin also provided excellent information throughout the safari about the animals, their behaviour and the ecosystem. This added another dimension to the experience—we weren’t simply seeing wildlife; we were learning and understanding what was happening around us.
The overall service from Axis was dependable, well organized and good value for the experience we received. Our requests were taken seriously, timings were maintained, and we always felt that the team was making an effort to give us the best possible experience.
We came to Kenya with high expectations for the Masai Mara, and Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, together with Kelvin Ngamiya, made the experience even better than we had imagined. We leave Kenya with some extraordinary memories and photographs that we will treasure for years.
Highly recommended, and a special thank you to Kelvin Ngamiya for making our safari such an unforgettable experience.

Just an amazing experience!
First of all, I would like to thank Kibo Mawenzi Safaris for the excellently organized one-day safari, which included hotel pick-up, drop-off, lunch and many more. Everything was arranged down to the last detail, and at no point did we feel alone or abandoned. Our driver, Mr. Ibrahim, provided excellent transport on both the outward and return journeys. Upon arrival at the safari, we met Deo, our tour guide. My friend Wessel and I couldn't have asked for a better guide; he is a man passionate about his profession and knowledgeable about everything. He took the time to answer all our questions—even teaching us a thing or two—and managed everything perfectly to ensure we had the ultimate experience. It was clear from everything that these people are highly experienced and truly know what they are doing. We saw so many animals—far too many to count. It was an experience we won't soon forget. We want to thank everyone involved for the amazing safari. Special thanks to our guide Deo. Good good, Yum Yum and Hakuna Matata. You’re a Legend 😉

Safari with Dennis Koome Kithinji
I don't think you can have a great safari without a great guide. Dennis was spectacular! From the very first moment, he zipped around in the jeep to show us as much as possible. He always made sure we had enough time to observe the animals, and he was kind, friendly, attentive, and gave perfect explanations. Not to mention the hours he spent driving every day, he’s a champion! We’re taking home a wonderful life experience, and that’s thanks to him, too!

Wonderful trip with Wakanda and Zepha
My girlfriend and I booked an 8-day safari with Wakanda, and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish
Even before the trip, communication with the team was incredibly efficient and clear. They always replied quickly, gave honest recommendations, and made the planning process very easy
During the safari, our guide Zepha was absolutely excellent. We kept joking that he was like Santa Claus, we would make a wish, and somehow he would find it for us! We managed to see all the animals we had hoped to see
He is also an exceptional driver. During normal transfers, he drives very smoothly and comfortably, but when it came to the Mara River crossings, he suddenly turned into a rally driver, reacting incredibly quickly and always managing to get us into a great position to see the action. We were very grateful to have him as our guide
Overall, the whole experience was a 10/10. We had an amazing trip and would absolutely recommend Wakanda, and especially Zepha, to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania

An unforgettable experience with Wild Experience Safari!
We booked a fly-in safari from Zanzibar to the Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. The organisation by Wild Experience Safari was perfect– from our very first communication with David right up until our drop-off at the hotel.
Wild Experience Safari tailored the entire tour perfectly to our needs, e.g. offering us various accommodation options to choose from so we could customise our trip. David was great- he was always available and reachable for any questions we had, even throughout the safari itself, which gave us great peace of mind.
We saw so many animals, and I still get goosebumps thinking about the moment we saw a lion right in front of our jeep! Beyond the incredible wildlife sightings, the food, the accommodation, and our driver were absolutely fantastic.
Thank you to the whole team for this perfect and unforgettable adventure. We highly recommend Wild Experience Safari to anyone visiting Tanzania and would definitely book with them again. Keep up the amazing service!

Tom was brilliant and excellent..
I had a wonderful experience on my Maasai Mara trip with Tom as our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made the whole experience truly special. He did an excellent job of helping us spot wildlife and explaining everything along the way. The trip was beautifully organized, and I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout. I highly recommend Tom to anyone visiting the Maasai Mara. It was an unforgettable experience!
Thank you Axis Africa Safari for giving us a good guide..
