A once-in-a-lifetime trip that stays with you for a lifetime.
From the very beginning, planning the trip was an absolute breeze. We wanted a private safari tailored to our wishes, and the team made everything super easy and fast. Tabitha and the rest of the Team were wonderfully responsive, listened closely to what we wanted, and accommodated our every request before we even set off.
Once on the road, everything ran just as smoothly. Our guide, Andrew, was a standout—he knows the parks inside and out, and his patience and sharp eyes helped us spot so many incredible animals up close. Beyond his tracking skills, he was just a warm, wonderful companion who made us feel safe and well looked after every single day.
If you are planning a trip to Kenya, we can warmly recommend Axis Africa Safaris and Andrew!

Outstanding tour company
Four of us have just returned from a 10 day safari in Tanzania and we could not have asked for a more thoughtful, experienced and professional company than African Big Cats. From our first day of enquiry to our last day on tour they were amazing to work with, tailoring our itinerary to our personal interests, responding immediately to any enquiries before and during our tour and providing the most excellent professional guide in Endeni. We felt safe and exceedingly well taken care of. Our lodgings along the way were 5 star in every way, thoughtfully located with amazing views and great service. We looked forward to our food and rest at the end of the day knowing it was going to be amazing.
We saw every creature imaginable including the Big 5. Our guide, with 15 years experience, loved his country, the people and the animals. We learnt a great deal from him. He was always thoughtful to our needs and levels of interest, taking care that we were comfortable and moving at the pace we desired.
The owner of Big Cats met with us personally at the start of the trip to go over our itinerary. This is a Tanzanian based local company who love what they do. They are superbly professional. The entire trip was excellent value for money and I would not hesitate to recommend this company for providing a once in a lifetime experience in Tanzania.
Thank you so much, African Big Cats, for making our dream Safari come true.

Perfect, timely individualized organization; providing & indulging all needs and requests.
Our family of five had an incredibly memorable and personalized safari experience. The communication with them was always clear, timely and provided us an array of options. We traveled with our three 30ish adult children who had vegan cuisine requests, extreme sports requests and different people arriving and leaving on different dates. In other words, it was like herding cats. Compass Odyssey put together a safari itinerary that encompassed four different lodges which were all very well appointed, providing unique lodging experiences and wildlife experiences. Highlights were staying at the Hide and being able to experience the The Dove’s Nest tree house and our helicopter flights to the Okavanga Delta. Also the recommendation for doing a charter flight instead of driving six hours through rough roads was excellent. We met people that were tired and exhausted because they drove, while we were fresh and enjoying drinks and an afternoon game drive. Also, having Ruth accompanning us (babysitting us) through a large part of the first part of the trip was invaluable in navigating country crossings, guiding us through what we would experiencing and ensuring every detail was always on time and ensuring we booked the extreme sports with safe and reputable providers. We loved the trip. Excellent value for the very bougie and once in a lifetime safari experience.

Truly Amazing
We had a seven days safari with the agency which was really carefully planned and executed. Our guide David was awesome and with loads of information about the parks and animals.
I recommend Tropical Wild Expeditions.

Everything went smoothly, thank you Steve!
Steve was an excellent guide! He was very knowledgeable and had a lot of stories and jokes to tell during the long driving days and made time fly. He prioritized finding animals we hadn't seen yet to make sure we would get the full experience. The highlight was seeing 6 rhinos in the crater on our last day thanks to Steve's timing and persistence!
On the first night we landed late in Kilimanjaro and found the driver easily at the airport and got to our hotel smoothly. Then we accidentally overslept due to our own bad planning and 3hr turnaround but the guides knocked to wake us up and didnt rush us, made sure we had food in our bellies and didnt make us feel too bad for delaying, which we really appreciated. The rest of the trip was like that - any hiccups were easily sorted and fixed, like the hot air balloon company was not clear but Steve figured out our booking on the fly, and the logistics of many groups going in different directions seems crazy but they managed everyone's different itineraries perfectly. I was not sure what to expect from booking something like this online from abroad but everything worked out amazing!
Otherwise, our guide Steve also helped us with coordinating logistics and finding the best prices and always could find us a washroom easily when needed. The tents and camp were comfortable and even on honeymoon it was a lot of fun and a great experience. We enjoyed the hot air balloon and enjoyed delicious home cooking from Sampson every day. All in all we had a blast!

Amazing
We had a wonderful experience at the Tsavo East Safari. Especially because of the excellent service from Steve and his driver Evan’s Steve was very friendly, polite, attentive, and professional throughout. He made sure everything was taken care of and served us with a great attitude and a smile. His excellent customer service really made our experience enjoyable. There was no rush to move on. Highly recommended.
We also used Steve’s services to visit the Old Town and we got him to stop over where my wife spent her childhood
Once again our heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional experience
