The team was able to make the most of chaotic travel arrangements and get me where I needed to be.
After a few hiccups in my travel and missing my connection, the team was able to quickly and efficiently get me to my final destination without significant hassles. I was on a new flight in a very expeditious manner. By the time I got to my final destination , everything was set up for me to enjoy a relaxing vacation in Zanzibar. Overall great experience.

A Truly Immersive Safari Experience
8 days of pure nature, from Tarangire to Central and Northern Serengeti, with an unforgettable visit to the Ngorongoro Crater. We were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five at close range.
Our guides, Eric and Zaccaria, were exceptional. They accommodated every request while consistently making the best decisions on routes and timing thanks to their extensive experience. What impressed us most was their deep knowledge of wildlife: they didn’t just identify the animals, but explained their behaviour, social interactions, and habits in remarkable detail, making every sighting both exciting and educational.
Equally important, they showed genuine respect for the environment. They always approached wildlife responsibly, avoiding any action that could disturb or stress the animals, allowing us to experience nature in its most authentic form.
If you are looking for a truly immersive safari with knowledgeable, ethical guides who put wildlife first, Serengeti Silence is the perfect choice.

Exceptional from start to finish
From start to finish, Wagatil were exceptional! After finding the estimated quote on safari tours, booking process was incredibly easy. Pretty was very responsive and easy to discuss the different aspects of their tour options.
Martin our guide for our private mid-range 6 day trip from Rwanda to Uganda (including gorillas, chimps, golden monkeys and game drives in Queen Elizabeth national park) was truly exceptional. His knowledge was second to none, he was able to ask any questions we had (even the random ones that had nothing to do with the itinerary) and did so will enthusiasm and a smile. He showed so much passion about all of the different species of wildlife we were tracking and also of his country, we learnt so much from him about both. Martin always went above and beyond for us, from the organisation of the excursions to ensure we had the best outcome he could provide, to running the scheduled tightly to ensure we didn’t miss out on something we would have wanted to see, and from his choices of accommodation which were always strides better than we had expected to be getting, to making stops when we needed at pharmacies, ATMs and food stores for snacks on long drives, he never once made us feel like we were being a pain. This is something we were truly appreciative of, having been on many tours with many guides, and this often not being the experience.
Overall, I can’t recommend Wagatil and specifically Martin enough. We had the trip of a lifetime and one we will never forget! We will be sharing the company’s details with anyone who wishes to come Uganda on a trip and hope to return ourselves soon!

Well co-ordinated & organised. Very responsive.
Axis Travel was clear with communication & options. The deposit amount & then meeting them at their office in Nairobi was all smooth. Our guide Mohammed was an excellent game drive navigator. He was a wealth of knowledge of the Masaai wildlife, birds & life. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to discover the gems of Kenya. Our lodge stay in Masaai Mara Chui was also beautiful with very friendly staff. Overall a great experience.

Guides who felt like long time friends seeking adventure to build memories of a life time.
Robert and Ivan were guides who quickly felt like friends. We were only in Uganda for a short time and both of them had a mission of giving us an authentic & adventurous experience. Between rocky roads, traffic, and motorcycles EVERYWHERE, never once did we feel unsafe. Ivan’s driving was excellent. They stopped for some road snacks, plenty of bathroom breaks, & offered some quick road side assistance to tourists stuck on the road. Our accommodations they set up were incredible & gave a once in a life time feeling. We enjoyed our time with them so much, we are looking forward to coming back! If you are at all hesitant, don’t be. We couldn’t be more grateful for our experience!

Unforgettable Family Safari in the Maasai Mara
We traveled to the Maasai Mara with Amazing Africa Tours and Travels as a family, and it was truly a trip to remember. From the first inquiry to the final drop-off, everything was handled smoothly and professionally.
Our guide was knowledgeable, patient with the kids, and made sure everyone from the youngest to the oldest got the most out of every game drive. The vehicle was comfortable and well-maintained, and the accommodations they arranged fit our family perfectly.
What stood out most was how well they communicated with us throughout the planning process and during the trip itself. We felt taken care of the whole way through.
We’d highly recommend Amazing Africa Tours and Travels to any family looking for a safari that’s well-organized, safe, and full of unforgettable moments.

Unforgettable Memories of Our Masai Mara Trip
Hello, I am Pradeep Murti from San Francisco. I booked a Masai Mara package with Axis Africa Safaris in August 2026, and I would like to share my experience.
First, I would like to appreciate the excellent support provided by Lucy before our trip began. We initially booked the trip for seven people, which was later reduced to four, and finally three, due to unforeseen circumstances. Lucy helped us process the refunds for those who could not join the trip.
When our journey finally began, our Emirates flight was delayed by one and a half days. Despite the last-minute disruption, Lucy went above and beyond to help us adjust our itinerary. She coordinated with two resorts to modify our bookings just one day before our arrival and also arranged for us to be picked up directly from the airport instead of the hotel, as originally planned. We truly appreciated her prompt support and flexibility during a stressful situation.
I would especially like to recognize our guide, Ahmed Mohamed. This was our first visit to Masai Mara, and we had an unforgettable experience exploring this beautiful part of Africa. Words are not enough to express our gratitude to Ahmed. He was energetic, cheerful, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely down-to-earth throughout the entire trip.
From the moment he picked us up at the airport until the day he dropped us off, Ahmed was patient, professional, and always willing to help. He guided us through sightseeing, game drives, and the national parks, ensured we had refreshments and breaks whenever needed, and was always punctual. His ability to adjust the itinerary based on our interests and the available time was exceptional.
Even after we lost one and a half days because of the flight delay, Ahmed went above and beyond to make sure we still covered all the destinations we had originally planned. Thanks to his careful planning and dedication, we were able to visit Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha without missing any of the major highlights.
Ahmed took us to different parts of Masai Mara to maximize our chances of seeing wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we were fortunate enough to see a lion pride, cheetahs, rhinos (including a baby rhino), a herd of elephants with playful baby elephants, flamingos, and many other incredible animals that Masai Mara is famous for.
When we expressed interest in visiting a Maasai village to meet the local tribes, Ahmed arranged the visit quickly and seamlessly.
One of my biggest wishes was to see the Great Migration. Although several people told Ahmed that the migration was not taking place at that time and that there was no point in visiting the Mara River, he still took us there and patiently explained everything about the migration and the ecosystem. I truly appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile to make our experience complete.
Ahmed also carried a professional camera with a powerful telephoto lens. He generously allowed us to use his camera to capture stunning close-up photographs of wildlife that would have been impossible with our own equipment. Later, he even shared those beautiful photos with us, which was an incredibly thoughtful gesture.
Overall, what began as a stressful trip due to unexpected flight delays turned into one of the most memorable vacations we've ever had, thanks to Ahmed and the outstanding support from Axis Africa Safaris.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Ahmed Mohamed as a guide to anyone planning a safari with Axis Africa Safaris. His knowledge, professionalism, patience, and dedication made our trip truly exceptional. I am confident that anyone who travels with Ahmed will have an unforgettable experience.
Once again, thank you, Ahmed and Axis Africa Safaris, for making this journey so special. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime.

7-Day Classic Northern Circuit
We did the 7-day Northern Circuit Classic Safari with Serengeti Wakanda in June 2026. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and I would recommend. From the beginning, Gwen was easy to work with and extremely responsive compared to a few other companies we were looking at. Airport pickup and our day in Arusha was smooth. The actual safari itself was unforgettable. Our guide, Penuel, was amazing at listening to what our priorities were and finding animals. We saw leopards nearly every day, ate breakfast with a lion pride completely alone, and found a group of hunting cheetahs.
I will say the low light of our trip was our stay at the newly opened Lala Salama (owned by Wakanda). The food was disappointing compared to other lodges, but the biggest issue was that they made us switch rooms on our second night to accommodate a large group. After a long day in the car, we were actively getting ready to shower when an employee came by and forced us into another room. This completely defeated the point of staying several nights at the same place to prevent the pain of repacking and unpacking daily. They tried to make it sound like it was for our benefit as the new room was slightly nicer, but considering we were leaving at 5:30am the next morning there was zero advantage to us switching rooms. I understand Lala is a new camp and is having growing pains, but this type of service is unacceptable for the amount of money we paid.
