Easy to organise.
We had a great 2 day safari to Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. Everything was well organised, the guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole trip felt easy and enjoyable.

Great safari, bad timing
I want to first say that our guide, Rodger, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and helped us find all the ‘Big 5’ and many other beautiful animals. The accommodations were lovely- the campsite was great to connect with nature, and the hotel was comfortable and clean with tasty meals. The game drives were fantastic.
The reason I gave this safari a 3/5 is not the fault of the guide. On May 18th, the 3rd day of the safari, there were massive protests over gas prices all over Kenya, which turned into rioting, blocking roads and stopping cars. This is not the fault of Axis. The issue was the way the company handled the situation (this does not include Rodger- he was calm under pressure and kept us as safe as possible). Part of the issue here is that Axis combines travelers who are on different tours without clarifying it. There were people on the tour that were only there for 3 days, while others booked for 4 or more. This means that our third day involved bringing the people who had to go back to the office to a drop off point near Nairobi. This is where we got stranded for multiple hours with very little communication or assistance from the office. We spent the whole morning driving, leaving at 6 am, arriving midday and then staying in place. When asked about a refund of some sort for the day that really only included 2 hours of activity, we were told ‘well, day 3 is always a travel day’. The itinerary does not disclose that. They make it look as if there’s multiple activities that happen on day 3. On top of that, guests on our safari had to pay to change flights, without help from the office or clarification on what would happen to help them. Two of the people who were split from the group eventually to go to the airport were hit with a bag of rocks through the window of the car they were put in, leading to them being covered in glass. Again, this isn’t something the company can necessarily control, but the things they can control were handled poorly in my opinion.
Again, this would’ve been a great safari. The issues I had were partially the situation but mostly the office’s handling of it. Rodger was an excellent guide.

Very accommodating and thoughtful
Gift was a great guide and was very friendly and a great and safe driver. Our group had a great time with him, and Dennis who made sure that we had good food wherever we were in our 3 day safari from Arusha to Serengeti to Ngorongoro. I especially loved the campsite in Ngorongoro and would have loved more days there. Gift was a thoughtful guide who made sure that our safari experience was something we will forever remember. He took great pictures with us too! Elizabeth was also very helpful in getting us discounts and deals. Thank you soooo much, Josh Dreamland for the beautiful experiences.

Well organized safari
Everything was well organized. The staff was nice and funny. They do their best to spot many animals. Tremisana was a good lodge. The food was tasty and varied.
Sometimes you have to drop off another group for a different safari, which means you travel a little longer, but it was well arranged so we didn't have to wait unnecessarily long.

OUR BEST EVER SAFARI
We had the best safari experience ever! Chobe National Park is absolutely amazing. We saw lions every day, a leopard, four cheetahs, mongooses, two hyenas, and about 20 sable antelope crossing the road right in front of us, plus all the other incredible African animals such as elephants, giraffes, and so much more.
Tony Mobile Safaris looked after us so well. Everything was excellent.
Starting with our guide, Martengu — he is a good boat and vehicle driver, and best of all, he has such a wealth of knowledge and is an excellent tracker. The best guide we have ever had in in any tour Africa and South America.
Ta and Dishon were also so friendly. Ta is a fantastic cook; we loved all the meals he prepared, and Dishon set up the camp so well. We were not expecting such a large tent and private amenities.
Thank you all for making this such a memorable experience.

Perfectly organized and unforgettable safari with an amazing team and guide!
We had an absolutely amazing experience on our safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru! Everything was perfectly organized from beginning to end.
The hotels were beautiful, the food was great, and every person we met during the trip was incredibly kind and welcoming. A very special thank you to Lucy, who organized everything so perfectly. She always made me feel safe, was constantly checking in on us, and responded incredibly fast whenever we had questions or needed anything. Her communication and support throughout the whole trip were truly exceptional.
And of course, a huge thank you to our driver and guide, Kikitu.. he was absolutely AMAZING! He had the best energy, gave us so much information, amazing tips, and made the whole experience even more special and fun. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.
If you book this safari, definitely ask for Kikitu, he truly made our trip unforgettable! We saw incredible animals, enjoyed stunning landscapes, and created memories we will never forget.
We highly recommend this company 10000000% and would absolutely book with them again when we come back to Kenya!

Extremely responsive and confidence inspiring leading to a great trip
I booked a very last minute tour (luckily it was the off season) and received very clear, responsive communication from Dominic. The trip started without an issue and went very smoothly the whole time. We were lucky to get Modi as our guide who did his best to make sure we saw the animals we were interested in and was very fun and interesting to talk with. I think for the price of the tour you are paying for an operator who is going to do his best to be prepared and ensure things go smoothly. The lodgings are nice and comfortable, but I have to say the night drive and the walking tour definitely stood out as cool unique things that I didn't see when looking at other options before booking. I think this operator does a good job trying to design tours that keep things interesting the whole time from a logistical standpoint (it is a lot of driving around after all).

professional, friendly, and exceptionally helpful.
We had an amazing experience with Proviem Safaris, all thanks to Musawenkosi! From the very first day of booking our accommodation and activities, he was incredibly helpful, professional, and friendly. He made the whole process smooth and stress-free, always ready to assist and answer any questions.
His warm personality and excellent service truly stood out and made our trip even more enjoyable. If we get the chance to visit Victoria Falls again, we will definitely be contacting Proviem Safaris (Musawenkosi) without hesitation.
Highly recommended!
