Really good.
We went on a two-day safari with Mountain Warriors and the experience was incredible. The whole process was very convenient, as they take care of picking you up and taking you to all the sites.
Our guide was Victor, who did a fantastic job. He was very kind, attentive, and professional. Thanks to him, we were able to see a wide variety of animals, as well as learn a lot about them and the environment, since he gave us very interesting explanations and patiently answered all our questions.
We're so glad we went on the safari. We loved it!

Victor was amazing, had so much knowledge to share on all the wildlife
We had an amazing time and saw so much amazing wildlife. Our guide Victor had so much knowledge to share about each of the animals, we definitely saw a lot more than we expected to and felt so fortunate to benefit from his knowledge of the parks and where the animals were. Our accomodation was also amazing with great food and a lovely room. The experience was amazing value and for what we anticipated to be a budget experience we got so much more than we could have imagined.

Knowledgeable! Experienced! Friendly! Professional!
From the very beginning, when I first inquired about gorilla trekking in Uganda/Rwanda, this company responded immediately and with the best prices in town. From the time we were picked up on the first morning of our tour, to the time we were dropped off on the last day of our tour—- we did not have to worry about anything! Everything was taken care of, including meals, transportation, admissions, etc.. special shout out to Andrew, our trustworthy and amazing driver! Thank you for everything :)

A truly amazing safari with Axis Africa Safaria and Driver Daniel Sururu
After many weeks of deliberation and throughly reviewing multiple safari operators I finally decided to go with Axis Africa Safaris - this decision that was not taken lightly, but one I am very pleased to say I did not regret.
The service provided by Rita at Axis Africa Safaris was fantastic. She promptly responded to all of my emails, addressed all my questions and concerns, and arranged an amazing safari for myself and my family. And to top it all, their prices were incredibly competitive.
When deciding which accommodation to select Rita provided detailed information regarding hotel options split by budget. We finally decided on Ashnil Mara Camp, Sarova Lion Hill (Lake Nakuru) and Naivasha Swela Lodge.
Ashnil Mara Camp was amazing - the tents were huge and very comfortable. The service and food were fantastic! We all throughly enjoyed our 3 night stay and particularly appreciated the hot water bottles which were carefully placed into our beds every night! The food was also good at Sarova Lion Hill and Swela lodge, but the rooms at Sarova lodge were rather small and in need of an upgrade.
When arranging the safari I specifically requested a Masi guide, and we were lucky enough to be allocated Daniel Sururu. Daniel was our dedicated driver for the six days and he was fantastic. His knowledge of the parks and wildlife within it was exceptional! On Day 1 of the safari Daniel asked each of us what we wanted from the safari and he did his upmost to make sure our expectations were met. And I am pleased to say that they really were and more! This included seeing loins taking down a buffalo, the big 5, the beginning of the great migration and much, much more! My husband is a keen photographer and bird lover, and Daniel was super good at pointing out the many species of birds in the Mara and Lake Nakuru. And as luck would have it, Daniel was also a keen photographer and appreciated the importance of positioning and lighting, so he would do his best to put his car in the optimal position for my husband to take a photo.
As part of the safari we had arranged a 2 hour boat ride on Lake Naivasha to see the many hippos and bird life the lake has to offer. Unknown to us, Daniel called ahead of our visit to arrange for a specific guide who he knew was very knowledgable about birds. The boat trip was amazing, even for those of us who were not bird lovers. I would strongly encourage anyone who has the time to go and visit this area.
Overall, we could not ask for anything more from Daniel, we felt completely safe with him and all times and he was really a truly an amazing guide (and driver) and if were fortunate enough to come back to the Masi Mara I would not want any other guide!
Thank you to Axis Africa Safaris for arranging our amazing safari and to Daniel for making our trip fantastic and so unforgettable - you really were the star of our trip!

Flexible, accommodating. Professional, and friendly.
Choosing Serengeti Smile was the right decision. They were flexible and accommodating in helping to design the type of trip and vacation we wanted.
The lodging accommodations, were excellent in all of our locations. transportation was easy.
Our guide, Libe, was excellent. He was a great driver , was very knowledgeable on where to go to see the most wildlife, and was very friendly and professional. We saw the Big 5 plus many more animals.
I would highly recommend Libe to anyone wanting to do a safari in the Serengeti or surrounding parks.

Knowledgeable, friendly, professional , accommodating, and a perfect blend of adventure and fun.
We had Libe as our guide and he was exceptional. We would recommend him and Serengeti Smiles to anyone traveling to Tanzania. Our trip was designed specifically for us and we loved all parts of it. We especially loved traveling around the Serengeti and hunting with the Hadzabe. On safari we saw the big 5 in one day (rhino, elephant, buffalo, lion, and leopard) and even got to see lions hunting up close. This was a very memorable trip and we would definitely come back again.
Superb, Delivered Everything, Highly Recommend!
We are a group of 5 people who recently completed a tour with the great team of Jacmiya Safaris, travelling through the Great Mara, the Mara River, the Mara Triangle overlooking the Serengeti, and onward to Lake Naivasha for a boat and walking safari. From start to finish, this trip surpassed every expectation in every possible way.
Our guide, Francis, was exceptional throughout. He was consistently informative, polite, and attentive, ensuring every detail of our experience was thoughtfully managed. His deep knowledge of the region meant he always knew the best times and the best places to take us, giving us the flexibility to see all the wildlife we hoped for — lions, elephants, rhino, giraffe, zebra, hippo, buffalo, cheetah, and a beautiful variety of antelope, all up close. These unforgettable moments were possible because Francis understands the land and its rhythms with remarkable skill.
The Jeep was extremely comfortable, making long days in the bush enjoyable and relaxed. The accommodation arranged by Jacmiya Safaris was equally impressive: Sarova Mara Camp Masai Mara and Sopa Lodge Lake Nakuru were excellent, offering comfort, great service, and stunning views that added so much to the overall experience.
Jacmiya Safari’s communication was outstanding from beginning to end. Every question was answered promptly, every request handled with care, and every detail organised flawlessly. The company’s attention to detail was evident in every part of the journey — from logistics, to timing, to ensuring we were always comfortable, safe, and well looked after.
Francis himself kept the Jeep spotlessly clean, took immense pride in his work, and brought warmth and humour to each day. His professionalism, kindness, and patience made us feel completely supported throughout the trip. It is rare to encounter someone who blends expertise and genuine care so seamlessly.
Jacmiya Safaris delivered a safari that was not only memorable, but truly exceptional. The combination of superb guiding, comfortable transport, excellent lodges, flexible planning, and meticulous attention to detail created an experience we will treasure for a lifetime.
We cannot praise Jacmiya Safaris — and especially Francis — highly enough.

Beyond expectations and safety first at all times
Glory (our kojuu agent) Silas (our safari driver) & Emanuel (our photographer for 3 days safari and serval wildlife. ALL AMAZING. Each and every one of them went above and beyond.
We had alot of changes when we were booking. Glory was kind, understanding, and made everything we wanted work with the budget we needed. There was even a last minute change is our group size and she handled it flawlessly. The entire trip Glory checked in with us to make sure we were safe, understood where we were going next, & answered any questions we had along the way. I did book my own boat tour in zanzibar, and I gave her our company’s information and she made to ensure our safety and we checked in with her when we were back! 5 stars Glory Christopher!
Our safari was 3 days with Silas and Emanuel. Silas was extensively knowledgable, funny, and a well skilled driver. Both of them had their eyes on a swivel to make sure we didn’t miss a moment! Their expertise was invaluable to use. They provided the highest quality experience. We saw all big 5, plus many more. The conversation was easy and we felt well taken care of! Emanuel showed us some of our amazing photos along the way and we never had to worry we missed a shot. This let us experience the animals without having to constantly be on our phones.
Kojuu safaris was a wonderful experience overall. We booked higher level accommodations and it was well worth it. We will be recommending them to our friends and family!
