Amazing
5/5

Amazing! It was very easy to talk to Axis to explain my doubts before the tour, via email and WhatsApp. The day the tour started, at the office everyone was very nice, they gave us T-shirt’s with the company logo for us to use at the safari.
We did 6 days Safari. (Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli) and choose the mid range/mid luxury, the hotels were amazing with good facilities and food.
Our tour driver,Tom, he was amazing! Our trip was 100% better because of him. He is a very knowledgeable man, very wise and very careful while driving. We felt very safe. He has a lot of knowledge about every single animal and he knows the parks very very well. He did everything in his power for us to have the best experience and he didn’t rest until we saw the Big Five!
I totally recomend Axis, specially Tom!

For the second time with Makasa and fantastic again!!!
5/5

For the second time with Makasa and fantastic again!!!

In 2024, together with my three teenagers, I took a wonderful two-week trip through Tanzania with Makasa. For my boys and me, that was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I have since been to Tanzania five times: that first special trip with my boys and the other four trips together with my partner.

During our most recent trip, my partner and I decided just two weeks before departure that we would actually like to go on a short safari. Because of my amazing experience in 2024, I immediately contacted Makasa again. Despite the high season and the short preparation time, they put together a fantastic 6-day, 5-night safari for us.

From Arusha, we first drove to Ol Doinyo Lengai and Lake Natron. The vast landscapes, Maasai villages, flamingos, and Lake Natron made a huge impression. The hike to the waterfalls with a Maasai guide was also absolutely worthwhile.

Afterwards, we drove via a beautiful northern route to the north of the Serengeti. We stayed two nights at Kimbilio Bologonja, a nice and small-scale camp, and then one night at Lobo, which was a bit more luxurious and in a beautiful location. Both accommodations were very welcoming, with incredibly friendly staff, delicious food, and comfortable safari tents. And after a long day on safari, a hot shower in the middle of the Serengeti was wonderful!

Our guide, Humphrey, made a very important contribution to this trip. A fantastic guide: professional, with immense knowledge of animals and nature, a great sense of humor, and above all, a wonderful positive energy. With him, we went in search of the famous Great Migration – and what an experience!

Despite the high season, Humphrey consistently managed to find routes where we hardly encountered any other jeeps. We regularly drove through the endless Serengeti with the feeling that we were completely alone. That true "Out of Africa" ​​feeling was one of the most beautiful parts of this safari for us.

Organizationally, everything was also perfectly arranged from A to Z. When we were unable to arrange our flight from the Serengeti ourselves, Selma from Makasa acted incredibly fast and ensured it was arranged after all.

By now, we have visited many different national parks in Tanzania and gained experience with multiple organizations. That is precisely why I can say with conviction that Makasa was the best choice for us: personal, reliable, professional, and flexible.

After my fantastic experience in 2024, my expectations were high. The fact that Makasa has given us such a special trip again—and with just two weeks of preparation time during the high season—says it all.

Highly recommended. I can't wait to plan something wonderful in Tanzania with Makasa again in the future!!!

An unforgettable safari made even more special by Jonathan
5/5

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris, exploring Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. A huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide and driver, Jonathan.
Jonathan was genuinely one of the nicest people we could have hoped to have with us. He was incredibly sound, fun, friendly, helpful and patient throughout the whole trip. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he always went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, happy and getting the most out of every day.

His knowledge of the wildlife and the parks was fantastic, and he was brilliant at spotting animals and knowing where to go. Whether we were exploring the incredible Ngorongoro Crater, looking for wildlife in Tarangire or enjoying the beautiful scenery around Lake Manyara, Jonathan made every day exciting and memorable.

What really stood out was how patient and relaxed he was. He never rushed us and was always happy to spend extra time watching animals, taking photos or simply enjoying the moment. He was also great company and kept us laughing throughout the trip, which made the long days in the vehicle so much more enjoyable.

Jonathan was not just a great guide and driver — he genuinely made us feel looked after and helped make the whole safari experience unforgettable.

We would 100% recommend Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris, and if you’re lucky enough to have Jonathan as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic trip!

Thank you, Jonathan, for an incredible experience and memories we’ll never forget! 🐘🦁🦒🌅

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Axis Africa Safaris and Peter Kapino
5/5

Peter Kapino and the team at Axis Africa Safaris delivered an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Throughout our entire trip, Peter Kapino was absolute magic. He is the ideal guide—hilarious, deeply knowledgeable, incredibly gracious, and fully professional every single step of the way.
​His expert wildlife tracking skills and deep understanding of animal behavior meant zero wasted time in the park, allowing us to maximize every single game drive to tick off all of the Big Five and even track down the full set of the Ugly Five. Beyond his incredible eye for spotting wildlife, Peter's warm personality and great sense of humor kept every drive lighthearted and fun, while his top-tier professionalism ensured smooth logistics, punctual departures, and complete peace of mind throughout our journey.
​If you are planning a safari with Axis Africa Safaris, do yourself a favor and request Peter Kapino—truly cannot recommend him highly enough!

Fantastic and perfectly organized adventure
5/5

We booked a three day Safari in Ruaha and we were truly taken care of. We were well assisted while booking and then we spent three wonderful days with great guides eager to share their knowledge and show us a lot of wildlife, great food and a beatiful accommodation.
