Very careful and nice
Our Kenya wildlife safari was an absolutely unforgettable experience, and our guide, George , truly made it exceptional. From the moment we set out on our first game drive, George’s expertise and passion for Kenya's ecosystems shone through. His ability to track animals was uncanny – whether spotting a leopard camouflaged in acacia trees or predicting wildebeest migration patterns, his knowledge left us in awe. He patiently answered every question, sharing fascinating insights about animal behaviors and conservation efforts that transformed simple sightings into meaningful encounters.
What sets George apart is his genuine dedication to creating personalized experiences. He coordinated seamlessly with other guides via radio to ensure we witnessed the Big Five, yet never rushed us through moments like watching a lioness teach her cubs to hunt. His attention to detail extended beyond wildlife – from surprising us with chilled drinks during sunset viewings to adjusting routes for optimal photography light, he anticipated needs we didn't even realize we had.
The trip's success hinged on George's professionalism and warm hospitality. His deep respect for both the animals and Maasai culture enriched every game drive, while his safety awareness (especially during close elephant encounters) kept us secure yet exhilarated. For anyone seeking more than just a checklist safari, George's guidance transforms a good trip into an extraordinary journey. We returned not just with photos, but with stories and understanding – the hallmark of an outstanding guide.

Incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone
I booked my tour less than a week in advance and Axis were responsive and able to arrange everything quickly. I had a 3 day tour, the first two days you go into the park and the last day you drive back to Nairobi. I stayed in Flair Camp which had great food and everyone that worked there was lovely. Johnny Jackson was our guide and he was excellent, we saw so many amazing animals including lions, elephants, and even a leopard. The wildest part was when he realized that two cheetahs we were watching had spotted something and we followed them for a while and eventually witnessed them hunt and kill and impala. Could not recommend this tour enough!

Perfectly organized
Everything was planned nice. The trip was made accordingly to the timeline sent to us. Especially the stay in Sami Sands was amazing.

Wonderful operator thats always on time.
Had a great experience with Baraka as our driver and he always had enough water and snacks. He was always 15 minutes early and would highly reccomend him and Expedition Rwindi Voyage. We were only there for a short amount of time and was very impressed with the tour company, Rwanda as a very clean and productive country and the once in a life time trek to see the endangered mountain gorillas. Amazing coffee too.

Unique experience
Wonderful experience ! We had a private safari and everything went so smooth. The driver is very experienced, the lodges are top notch and safe. We also got to see all the animals ( big 5 ✅ ). I really recommend Crater explorer.

Best operator to book your honeymoon safari with!
Our wedding was in September and we asked well travelled friends where they suggested us to go and they unanimously said to go to Namibia. I found Nature Travel Namibia (NTN) online and out of all the operators I reached out to, NTN was the most engaged, prompt, professional and tailored operator. After reading a lot of guides, I had some ideas on what I wanted us to see and do and my husband wanted to leave from Victoria Falls. We did a 3 week tour mostly in Namibia with the end of the trip in Botswana and Zimbabwe. We self-drove across Namibia and had the most magical experience, starting the trip with sceneries (canyons, desert, sea) and finishing our Namibia and Botswana experience with Safaris. We love Petra, who organized the whole trip for us, she picked the best hotels - some of the most beautiful and surprising places we could only dream of and didn’t know existed. We had some of the best food in Namibia. We loved the calm and relaxing end of the trip in Botswana. We wouldn’t return to Zimbabwe- the falls were beautiful but it was enough to be there for 1 night before returning to our home country. We would definitely return to Namibia and Botswana, and would chose NTN again as operator in a heartbeat. We have to say that Hoodia Lodge was maybe the highlight of our trip - even if we stayed in many magical places, the staff and owners were just fantastic. Do book different types of safaris: boat, drive, morning, evening as the animals you can see and the experiences are so unique. We love the hot air balloon tour over the desert, seeing wild animals running down below. The peace and quiet of the desert and nature was fantastic, it was a shock going to a town after getting used to living with the rising and setting of the sun. Since the honeymoon we have grown our family and cannot wait for our kids to be old enough to take them on a safari, shame we will have to wait a while before going back. If you have any doubts on who to chose for a safari honeymoon or luxury holiday, I cannot recommend Petra and NTN more.
My tour guide Luke was so professional & friendly. I would highly recommend this tour.
He showed me all the sides of Namibia upclose & personal. Even though i had a very short time, he did really well

Great experience!
We did a 5-day family safari with our 9- and 12-year-old children, and we all loved this experience!
We were able to see many animals and witness very interesting scenes from the wild at a great distance and with complete safety! Thank you, Abhou!
Our package included stays at excellent accommodations, where we were always provided with wonderful food while fully respecting my dietary restrictions. I am especially grateful for the attention given to this matter. The chefs were amazing and very careful with our family.
Overall, the entire staff was very kind and attentive, ensuring that we had an unforgettable experience. Linah, who assisted us from the beginning, was always very attentive and answered all our questions. Thank you!
One important point would be for the park to have clearer rules regarding the proximity of vehicles to animals, depending on the number of cars around. We witnessed a situation where many vehicles got too close to some cheetahs that were clearly trying to rest but couldn’t due to the movement and noise of the car engines. It was nice to see these animals, but I’m afraid it may be harmful for them…
We noticed a considerable increase in the number of safari vehicles over the past 15 years, so it’s important to reflect on the impact that tourism may have on wildlife.
We highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to explore this fantastic part of the world! We have had an amazing time! Thank you all so much!
