Friendly, Comprehensive & Beautiful Experience
5/5

Our trip through Makasa was incredible. I had contacted them with a general outline of what we were looking for and the dates we wanted to go. I was overwhelmed with thinking about how to organize such a trip and they came back to me in just a day with a full itinerary and potential accommodations. They made the process very easy and the link to a personalized website illustrating everything was very helpful. This helped minimize the back and forth because the information was very comprehensive. In just a few email exchanges with some adjustments it was done. We ended up visiting the Masai, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Ndutu & Serengeti, then flew to Zanzibar. Our safari guide, Robert, was very friendly and a father himself so he knew how to engage or step back depending on how we were feeling. We had just one miscommunication with a transfer but having Selma, the founder, as our local contact meant it was managed relatively quickly.

We had a great time for short safari (2 game drives at Amboselli). Isaiah answered all our questions and helped us have the best experience for the time allotted. Recommend!

Our tour operator was friendly, experienced, and kept the trip well organized.
5/5

The tour guides all seemed very knowledgeable in what they do, and made the trip a fun experience. This was my first time to Africa and doing a safari, but after this trip I want to come back and do it again. Isaiah our tour guide was awesome and I really liked his leadership with the other tour guides with the company.

Bucket-list experience delivered phenomenally well!
5/5

​I cannot say enough good things about Mimsoft Safaris! From the very first interaction, the director, Steve Amimo, demonstrated incredible professionalism and a genuine desire to help. Despite being half a world away, he was extremely prompt in answering all my questions and addressing details of our trip. I was organizing the trip on behalf of 24 participants total, so we had a large group and lots of logistics to work out.

The execution of our Amboseli safari was flawless. Steve’s staff and drivers picked us up right at our hotel to begin our adventure. I was particularly impressed by the punctuality—the drivers were 30 minutes early for pickup to ensure we maximized our time in the national park.

​The safari itself was spectacular. It has always been a dream of mine to visit Kenya and see Mt. Kilimanjaro, and Steve’s team delivered exactly that. They curated an itinerary that provided the perfect balance, allowing our group to see as much as possible even on a limited schedule.

A few things that stood out:
​Comfort: The vehicles were clean and comfortable.
​Hospitality: Our drivers always had water available and were courteous.
​Expertise: During our two game drives, the guides consistently positioned us for amazing views of the wildlife.

​Choosing a safari company can be overwhelming, but I am so glad I did my research and landed on Mimsoft. They truly delivered on our Amboseli safari experience. If you are looking for a phenomenal, stress-free adventure in Kenya, I would highly recommend reaching out to them.

​Thank you, Steve, for everything! I truly hope to return to Kenya one day, and when I do, Mimsoft Safaris will be my first call for any safari excursion!

Good experience, good contact from the start, good driver! We had a great time!
5/5

Doing a safari tour with Axis Africa was great. We had good communication with the team from the start, as they are quick to answer.
Our driver Rodger, seemed very experienced, and was really helpful all the way. He knows what he's doing.
We chose " economical' for accomodations so it was simple but clean and good. Food was also simple but good. We followed what the program was saying. Only bad side : the optional parts (like renting a bike at Hell's gate) was more expensive that announced in the quote (15$ instead of 7$, plus 10$ dollar fee to get the bike inside the park).
Except for this detail we had a really good time and enjoy chosing Axis Africa!

Very nice tour, very good driver too.
5/5

Very good driver Rodgers, we learned a lot about Kenya thanks to him.
We enjoyed every safari, he takes a lot of time to be sure that we took all the picture we want and with the best angle.
Everything was awesome, maybe just few more information about the organisation could be helpfull.
Rodgers answered every questions that we had, and we spotted a lot of animals thanks to him.

Everything was well planned!
5/5

We had an amazing time in Kenya with Spirit of Kenya tour. Our expectations were far exceeded.
Our favorite stay was in the Masai Mara. The proximity to nature and the beautiful green park truly astonished us. Lake Nakuru and Naivasha were also stunning, with their incredible animal diversity, breathtaking landscapes, and luxurious hotels. The food was always so tasty. The drive to Amboseli was quite long, but seeing so many elephants gathered together in the swamps along with my personal highlight, -a python- made it absolutely worth it.
Overall, we could not be more thankful for Charles -our guide-, who was our feet, ears, and eyes throughout the entire week. He is a very knowledgeable guide with a kind heart!
Everything went perfectly, and we truly appreciate the tour provider being so responsive over the past few months. I highly recommend Spirit of Kenya as your tour provider in your next trip in Kenya!
