Great tour operator! Well organised and very enjoyable.
Excellent experience from start to finish! Communication before the trip was very good, and everything was arranged smoothly and on time. The pickup was punctual, and the entire trip was very well organised.
The AA Lodge in Amboseli was fantastic, with a beautiful setting, great service and excellent food.
A special mention goes to my guide, who was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of interesting information and knew exactly where to find wildlife, including several large elephant herds. As I was particularly interested in birdwatching, he also made an effort to focus on birds and helped me spot and identify several species. We spotted also some rare animals like gerenuks, dik-diks and more.
I had an absolutely wonderful time in Amboseli and would definitely recommend this safari experience!

Hands down the best safari ever, thanks to Somewhere in Africa and Charles's incredible guiding!
finding the right safari agency is the hardest part for the safari tour. I contacted almost more than 30 agencies, and I chose the somewhere in Africa.
and this is my best choice.
Nuhu who had connected me for itinerary is so nice. he didn't push me as the other agency, he answered for around 20 questions, made sure there were no misunderstandings about the itinerary. he is the first one who checked the lodge availability at the 1st itinerary. he worked so clear, fast and well communicated.
For our guide, Charles is the best guide ever. he is so smart, humble and thoughtful. we started game drive from Northern for the great migration, and we saw it around 4times during only 1and a half day. he drives so well, found the animals so fast, and knows about everything in the serengeti wild-life. he answered us every questions. he is also very passionate. when we were watching the leopard on the tree, it was hard to see because it was hiding in the leaves. Charles kept trying find a good position so all of us could watch the leopard soooo well. not for leopard but every moment he did his best for us. If i come back to serengeti I'd absolutely do this again with Charles.
Hope my review is helpful to all future visitors, don't hesitate and make a nice deal with this agency and have wonderful experience!!

Great safari
We did an eight day safari with Axis Africa covering Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Overall our experience with Axis was great - Tabitha was very responsive from my first enquiry and was great to deal with while we tried to narrow down exactly what safari to go for. Our guide Ben was excellent - very chilled, really personable, amazing at spotting animals and finding the best place to park so we could get great pictures. Everything ran very smoothly throughout our safari and Ben was happy to make stops along the way if we needed to. I'd compared a few different companies and Axis came out the cheapest for a private safari - some of our accommodation wasn't amazing but I guess that's reflected in the price. Would highly recommend!

Did 2 Safaris: 4 days group safari followed by 4 days of private safari
I came across Axis because of the positive reviews I found online.
After 8 days of safari together with my partner (4 days of group safari, plus 4 days of private safari), I can only confirm these positive reviews.
Everything was excellent organized. Starting with the individual planning of the two safari tours, the information and transparency of the prices, the pickup of the drivers to the Axis office before the start, as well as the food places while being on the road (special places were selected by several safari companies to ensure good food at hygienic places for safari tourists).
The overall communication with Peter from the sales team was very responsive. Usually I am quite skeptic when it comes to making upfront down payments to other countries. However, due to the excellent communication, at no time was I concerned that it could be any sort of fraud.
The two drivers Khalifa and Mohamed did a great job of driving between the parks, spotting the wildlife, trying to get the best spots for taking photos and explaining whatever there is to know.
Sufficient number of brakes were made and the cars were cleaned from the inside and outside at the end of every day.
I can highly recommend going on Safari with Axis and would for sure choose this company again.

Enthusiastic, professional, and responsible
We were a group of three who joined Full Package Adventures for a safari at the end of August. Our guide, Kazi, was extremely professional and always put the client experience first. Whatever needs we had, we could consult him. We saw almost all the animals and landscapes we had hoped to see — it was a fantastic trip. In the Northern Serengeti, we were very lucky to witness the wildebeest migration. We waited there for less than half an hour before seeing the most unforgettable moment. At the same time, we built a deep friendship with our guide. He was highly knowledgeable about animal behaviour and knew their habits, sounds, and favourite spots. This trip was truly worth it.

Very Proactive, Efficient Safari Organizers. Esp. for private safaris like ours,great in customizing
Excellent itinerary was customized fitting our asks - 9 days covering Amboseli, Naivasha, Ol Pejeta, Nakuru & Masai Mara.
The stays were tailored to our quoted budgets - high-end lodges at Masai Mara, Amboseli & Ol Pejeta; more pocket friendly options at Naivasha & Nakuru.
All this was stitched up with their Sales Team (our handler was Tabitha Mwangi) over multiple messages & mails from India and throughout we evidenced great communication + willingness to modify & accomodate - a truly Customer-First attitude!
The Safari itself was just a dream come true. Apart from a good & very well maintained Land- Cruiser, & a well chalked out itinerary.
Full credit to Collins Sampelle, our Safari Guide - who with 29 years experience, excellent knowledge and an innate understanding of how to get the best experience out of any situation in a game drive; ticked off all boxes and more in terms of all that we had wished to experience & see, including the migration at Masai Mara... The Big 5 were of course a very basic ask quickly completed - but he went on to show us a lot more well beyond our expectations - cheetah or crocodiles or eagles swooping down for a catch, or lions with a kill, or a leopard trapped on a tree by a lion below, or elephants, rhinos & hippos tending to their young; or jackals, hyenas and vultures fighting over left- overs of a kill; or indeed so many other experiences...And he not just got us to see & experience them, he also gave us great insights & knowledge on what was happening & why....his knowledge of the animal kingdom is really vast & diverse! WE GIVE COLLINS A 5 ON 5 RATING JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GIVE MORE THAN 5!! Else, he is surely a beyond 5* Guide!

The best driver in masia Mara, James Gichina
Me and my partner had the best time on our 3 day safari. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver. James was kind, funny and very knowledgeable.
