5 Star Safari Holiday
5 stars 🌟
Where do we begin?
My long distance friend and I had the most incredible and unforgettable safari experience with Raymond from Patriot Tours and Safaris Limited, and we genuinely cannot recommend him highly enough.
From the very beginning, Raymond’s communication, responsiveness was exceptional. He patiently answered every single one of our questions and worked with us to tweak and refine our itinerary until we were completely happy with it despite planning this trip only two weeks in advance. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and it was clear from the outset that he genuinely cared about creating the experience that we wanted rather than simply following a standard itinerary.
From our prompt airport pickup onwards, we felt completely safe and looked after. Raymond is an excellent, calm and reassuring driver, and throughout some very long journeys we always felt we were in safe hands. He completely worked around us - stopping whenever we needed groceries, a bathroom break, food, photographs or simply a moment to take everything in.
Every accommodation he arranged for us was boutique, beyond comfortable and exceeded our expectations, and he made sure we were safely settled in everywhere we stayed. He was constantly thinking ahead for us: making sure we never missed a meal, never missed a beautiful sunset and, most importantly, never missed the incredible experiences we had travelled all the way to Tanzania to see.
One of the absolute highlights was witnessing the Great Migration - the greatest show on earth. Raymond was determined to give us the best possible experience. He scouted patiently until he found the perfect position for us, and the result was something truly magical that we will remember for the rest of our lives. He also worked incredibly hard to ensure that we saw the Big Five, taking us to some of the most breathtaking and unforgettable places along the way.
We enjoy photography and sometimes wanted to spend a long time photographing the animals, landscapes and sunsets or simply sitting quietly and enjoying the moment. Raymond never rushed us once. He was endlessly patient and seemed to understand that sometimes you don’t just want to see something, you want time to really experience it. He even took some gorgeous photographs and videos of us throughout the trip, including some lovely memories of the three of us together.
His kindness extended far beyond the game drives. He joined us for meals, helped us with souvenir shopping and would happily advise us on whether something was fairly priced or a good deal. We always felt that he was looking out for us.
By the end of our safari, Raymond felt like much more than our guide. He was kind, patient, thoughtful, knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating, and he made us feel safe and cared for throughout the entire journey. Every need was met, every detail was considered, and so many of the magical memories we are taking home from Tanzania are because of the effort he put into making this trip extraordinary.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we would wholeheartedly recommend Raymond and Patriot Tours and Safaris Limited. We could not have asked for a better guide or a more unforgettable experience. Thank you, Raymond, for taking such wonderful care of us and for helping to make our safari truly the trip of a lifetime. ❤️

professional and reliable tour operator that goes above and beyond
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris from start to finish. Cynthia was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the planning process, answering all our questions and accommodating all our requests. Our guides Kelvin, John and Paul, were exceptional, professional, experienced, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to making sure we had the best possible safari experience. They went above and beyond to help us see as much wildlife as possible. The accommodations and food were excellent, and the entire trip was very well organised. We highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya, you will be in very capable hands!

Great and caring people making our holiday the best
Booked Kilimanjaro hike and Safari Tour with Kisaza. Amazing guides and team leading and taking care of our needs on the hike. They made sure our needs are well taken care of and always making sure we are doing well and having fun to complete our hike safely.
Safari tour was fun and the guides did their best to ensure spot as many animals possible and explain the interesting facts about them.
Wonderful experience overall.

Kisaza Tours: Kilimanjaro Summit + Tanzania Safari — Unforgettable ★★★★★
Our group of 9 friends booked Kisaza Tours for an 8-day, 7-night Lemosho route climb followed by a 5-day, 4-night safari across three lodges, and both legs exceeded expectations.
The safari portion, led by Hussain, was just as strong. Moving between three different lodges over 5 days gave us varied terrain and wildlife without feeling rushed, and Hussain's knowledge of animal behavior and timing for sightings made a real difference versus just driving around hoping to spot something.
Logistics throughout — porters, meals, transfers between the mountain and safari legs — were seamless. Kisaza Tours clearly knows how to run both halves of this trip well, which isn't always the case with operators who specialize in one or the other.
Highly recommend for anyone considering the Kili + safari combination.

Magnificent views with superb services
Just came back from Tanzania and honestly, our safari with Ndutu Green was incredible — mostly because of our guide Emmanuel. This guy is so talkative (in a good way!) and super friendly. He never stopped sharing stories about the animals, the land, even his own life. Made the long drives feel really short. He got us all the Big Five. I wasn't even expecting to see a leopard, but he found one hiding in a tree. Dude has eagle eyes. We felt safe, had so much fun, and genuinely enjoyed every minute. If you book with Ndutu Green, ask for Emmanuel — you won't regret it. Asante, brother!

Moses was trustworthy, great with our kids, and made our time in Kenya truly special.
We had a wonderful experience with Kenya Bush Tracks! Our family of 5 spent nine days with Moses traveling to Naivasha, Nakuru, and Masai Mara, and we couldn’t have asked for a better driver and guide. He was informative, easygoing, trustworthy, and simply so easy to be around. Moses truly made our trip special, and we are so grateful that we were placed with him. We would absolutely recommend Kenya Bush Tracks and Moses to anyone traveling to Kenya!

Fun tour & relaxing tour
From the pickup, transport, stay, and tour everything was relaxing and made to be a fun moment.
Every staff member were polite and friendly.
First day tour with giude Lenard was exciting. He told us fun safari jokes along the way and he made sure all of us tourists were able to get a photo of the animals. Getting to see the lion was my favorite moment on day one.
Had a full day with tour guide Gevens. We made the best out of our day. Saw many animals we missed in our first half day including the leopard. Gevens was informative answering the many questions we asked about the animals we saw and even the birds we didn't see since its still winter season here. He drove us safely making the day relaxing. Time went by so quickly, you didn't want the tour to end. By the end of this day 2, we saw everything we expected to see.
You can tell the chef here takes pride in her cooking. She made us something different each time for appetizer and dinner. We told her we were vegetarian and she made us a separate meal from our goup. The portions were generous as well. And everything was delicious.
Our room was clean and spacious. Separate room inside for closet and changing and separate area for break room to sit and have tea/coffee. That was nice. For those coming in summer time, there are both ceiling fan and remote controlled air conditioner.
I would definitely recommend this Africa Moja to family and friends back home.

The most relaxing and treasured trip
We reached out to the team at Koi Travel for our recent journey through Nairobi and the Maasai Mara in Kenya. They truly made our entire experience incredibly memorable and stress-free. Not only did they secure a better rate than booking directly with the camp, but they also managed all flight bookings and airport transfers. When we wanted to include a day-long safari in Nairobi, they arranged everything at a very reasonable price. Our professional guide arrived on time in a comfortable vehicle for our visits to the Giraffe Center and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to see the elephants, followed by a game drive in Nairobi National Park.
Koi also coordinated with the camp to arrange a private anniversary dinner for us. Despite a minor scheduling misunderstanding, Koi immediately worked with the camp staff to resolve it. Furthermore, they kindly provided us with a complimentary dinner in Nairobi, which was a deeply appreciated and thoughtful gesture.
Their prompt communication and attention to detail with guides and transportation were very impressive. Natasha, Virginia, Mubeen, and the entire Koi staff ensured this was one of our most relaxing and treasured trips, and we look forward to reaching out to them for our next safari adventure!

Brilliant service and tour guide, Frank
Frank was an excellent tour guide who gave us a brilliant day and lots of insightful knowledge of the animals.
Exactly what we needed
Excellent coordination, professional communication, and seamless itinerary. Booked a private tour for my family at Nairobi National Park that was the highlight of our time in Kenya. Will definitely recommend.
