Fantastic Safari + Kili Experience
Found the provider randomly on Safari bookings and had a great time!
Was able to see the big 5 + a variety of rare birds.
One of the things I appreciated was the ability to customize lodgings based on desired level of spend - I opted to camp in the wild two of the nights, but upgraded to a lodge the other two, which I thought was a good balance.
My guide was very knowledgeable, and he tailored our sightings based on the group’s bird interest, which I thought was a nice touch.
Emmanuel runs the company - it’s a family-run Tanzanian-owned business, so you don’t see the same mark ups you might from Western tour providers. Additionally, he acts essentially as a personal concierge upon arrival - shuttles you around.
He also arranged a Kilimanjaro trek for me, which was great. I was in a private group on a 7 day Lemosho route trip. It was nice having continuity between both experiences. Kilimanjaro is definitely not for the faint of heart - I struggled with the conditions, but the porters and guide did everything they could to help me summit (including carry my day pack) and ultimately I made it. Relative to some of the bigger brand names you’ll see out there (Altezza, Climb Kili) - honestly I felt like I got a pretty similar experience. I didn’t have a large group of fellow western tourists, but I got more personal time with my guide, Mike - and felt like I learned a lot more about the culture.
Overall a great option for Safari / Kili.

Knowledgeable guides and good communication led to an incredible experience
My fiancé and I just finished an incredible 5-day safari with our guide Geofrey and Lion King Adventures. We unfortunately arrived a full day late due to a missed connection and Lion King and Geofrey made it seamless and easy to re-structure our itinerary. Geofrey knew all the places to go, was prompt and attentive, and made sure we saw the best spots for our interests. I would recommend Lion King Adventures, and especially our guide Geofrey, for your trip to Tanzania and for a safari. An experience that can’t be beat!

We think Axis is a great operator.
We had a great vacation. We have no complains, everything was great. The safaris, communication, service, all of it was very good. It was for sure value for money. Further more, we want to thank our guide, Richard. What a nice guy and what a terrific guide. He is friendly, helpful and knows a lot. He showt is the big five, a cheeta and a lot of other animals. Very, very good.

The best adventure 🫶
We had an amazing safari experience! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared so much interesting information about the animals, nature, and the national park, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We felt safe, well taken care of, and had plenty of opportunities to see wildlife up close. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure. Thank you for such wonderful memories!

Everything was perfect, except for the food!
Very respectful staff from the office and also the lodge. David Mukami was our driver, very chill guy and easygoing. He was precise with his timing and drives safely. He knew the park very well and managed to get us to the points that mattered to see the animals. 5 ⭐️
Lucia and Lucy at Sancali lodge were very friendly, always smiling! Loved their vibe.
The only thing that I didn’t like was the food. I know they can do better and have better options. The chicken was really bad! The beef was not well cooked.
I would suggest taking care of the bed mattress. It seemed a bit old and hurt my back.
Otherwise, I would definitely book again with them.

Tanzania Songbird Safaris is a must!
What a magnificent experience. We went on a group safari with of our family and friends to northern Tanzania, and we got a recommendation from our friends back home about Tanzania Songbirds Safaris. We all appreciated it was the best trip we have ever been to. Our guide Erick and Israel were the absolute the best and our group was so glad to have them. Eric & Israel were able to share so much about Tanzania especially wildlife and general history of the country, culture and people. They responded to all the questions we asked promptly, graciously and in detail. We spent 4 days in Central Serengeti and we saw the great migration which is very lucky since we had never seen it before. Thanks so much to Erick, Israel and the entire team of Tanzania Songbirds Safaris for making our dream come true. During the migration safari we saw a lot of animals including the African big five and small animals too. The jeep, accommodations and all meals were the best and we felt very welcomed at the lodge everyday and there so much food on offer. I would be jealous if I couldn't say Tanzania Songbirds Safaris deserve to be the top rated operator in Tanzania and I can confidently recommend them to all travelers looking for a wonderful safari experience in Africa

Amazing Kenyan Safari with Beyond the Plains
TAKE THIS TRIP! Before we booked our trip to Kenya for our family (2 adults and three teens), we were a bit unsure we would get what we wanted. There were worries about heath risks, shady businesses and political unrest. I can say that our experience in Kenya with Mike and Beyond the Plains couldn't have been a more magical experience. Mike was always ready on time, always positive, and skilled at delivering on what we wanted. Everyone we met, from the hotels to the shops, were pleasant and focused on amazing customer service. The second best thing about our trip, after the people, was the wildlife. Because Mike was an expert guide, he always asked what we wanted then delivered (which is difficult when at the mercy of nature). We can say we enjoyed 3 national parks (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara), each with different offerings. If you love wildlife and have been thinking of traveling, don't hesitate to book with Beyond the Plains.

Safari Line Defender made my trip fluid and convenient
Safari Line Defender communicated their services really well and transparently. In addition, they were in constant communication with me throughout my trip which made me feel at ease, since I was traveling alone. The operator went above and beyond by greeting me at the hotel and briefing me about the itinerary for the safari trip. Highly recommend.

Unique experience
We had a blast on our safari trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. Our guide Richard is super knowledgable about the area, animals and people. Obviously spotting a lot of wildlife is always dependent on luck to some degree, but I believe that Richard his knowledge and expertise contributed a lot to some unique encounters we had with the wildlife here. From the safari itself to all the stays, everyone was very welcoming and we had a great experience. I would highly recommend booking your safari with Axis and you’ll have a great once of a lifetime experience!
