Kenya Safari Parks offer a wide variety of habitats and wildlife encounters
June was a perfect time to experience a multi-park safari as past the rainy season and cooler temperatures. Starting in Nairobi we stayed 2 nights at the Garden Hilton near the airport before starting our private 6 day safari to Amboseli, Nakuru and Massai Mara with Erwin Safaris. A lot of time was needed for the driving due to the congested roads and the poor condition of the roads near Nakuru. Our Safari accommodations included very attentive staff, free wifi, comfortable well appointed rooms and excellent buffet style meals. Overall we had a great experience seeing and photographing an amazing variety of wildlife while learning about the everyday lives of rural Kenyans.

Adventurous
I had an amazing experience during my time in Kenya. I visited Amboseli National Park and all I can say is it was an unforgettable experience. The booking was smooth and seamless. The weather was good although a bit cold in the morning. I was able to see the big five amongst other animals although it was peak season, there were a lot of people. The accommodation and food were great. The tour operator showed great knowledge of the destination, provided great service and ensured everything was well organised from start to finish. The experience was enjoyable and memorable. I will definitely recommend, and visit again.

A very informative tour of Maasai village
At the end of a safari tour, we added this day-trip to see the Olpopongi Maasai village, operated by Hilltop. Daniel of Hilltop quickly responded to our inquiry, provided quotes for different vehicles. From there, the communication via WhatsApp was smooth. Hilltop was flexible with arrangements.
We had four people in the group, and we needed to be dropped off at the Kilimanjaro airport. Hilltop made it without a glitch.
Daniel and David of Hilltop also accompanied us during the tour, and took group pictures for us. They brought bottled water and other drinks, for the village lunch didn't include drinks.
Overall, Hilltop's service exceeded my expectations.

Cost effective, organised and responsive
We had a very enjoyable experience on our safari, prior to booking we were interested in a number of different options and the company was very helpful preparing packages for all alternative options. The tour itself was very cost effective, all meals and accomodation were sorted meaning we could relax and enjoy the safari. Our safari guide (Joyo) was excellent and was very knowledgeable about the different wildlife present.

Adventure in the Wild Safaris is exceptional and was the highlight of my time in Uganda.
The staff at Adventure in the Wild headquarters were helpful, giving clear answers to our questions and devising several itineraries so we could fit in as much as possible over the two days we had available. They were very open on prices, with no hidden extras, and realistic about what activities could be fitted in. Our driver guide, Deus, was charming, knowledgeable, and punctual - keeping us on schedule and organising all the meals and accommodation so we really only had to relax and look out for animals. It was brilliant!

The operator was very responsive, respectful and helpful.
This was a luxury Safari Tour but very well priced. Ramesa as a company was very easy to work with and did their best to provide excellent service. All the accommodations were superb and we received the best services from them as well. Noteworthy are the quality of the places. They were well equipped, very clean, and had awesome views and very close to nature. No "roughing it" experience for us. After a long day of game drives we came back to a very nice relaxing camp and good food.
We've experienced the best a Safari tour at its best most especially what we came for, seeing the great migration. Seeing wild animals in their natural habitat was quite the experience of a lifetime. Our tour guides did their best to provide us with an awesome Safari experience.

Very helpful and provided a very comprehensive tour.
I booked a tour to see the Gorillas in Rwanda Volcano Park. John my driver and guide was very friendly and kind and provided excellent driving to the park. He was very helpful in making sure everything ran smoothly. He also drove me around Kigali on a day tour. Highly recommend John and his company.

Great experience at a fair price
We had a great experience with Axis Safari, being from the first time in Kenya. We booked the 4 day tour.
Naivasha lake and the walking safari were great, as well as Maasai Mara. The accommodation at Wild Nest was very good.
The entry to the Maasai Village is 20 USD and after they take you to show the homes, they will try to sell some objects much overpriced. You can negotiate them at the village market which you visit at the end and buy them for a correct price.
Nakuru is also a great place to visit for thr birds or Rhino. For accommodation, El-Dorado was below expectations
We had John Mwangi as a guide, who is a great driver and very knowledgeable, even though he was not so talkative, but he answered all our questions and we found out a lot of things about the Park, the wild animals. John offered some of the best spots for pictures and videos, he is very skilled and we definitely recommend him as a guide.
Thank you, Axis, for this experience.

The perfect tour operator: safe driver, super friendly, great guide with a lot of experience
We are a family of five, two adults and three teenagers. For the first time in our lives we went on a safari trip and we were very happy that we’ve contacted Nick to organize this for us. We visited several parks in Central Kenya first (Ol Pejeta, Buffalo Springs, Mount Kenya). Then we went to the lake district and Maasai Mara. Thereafter we visited Amboseli and Tsavo. To end at Diani beach. All was perfectly organized. Nick is a great guide with a lot of knowledge about the country and all wildlife. He knows the best spots to observe animals. Thanks to him we managed to see the big 5. He is also a safe driver. And most important, he is always happy and friendly and great with kids. Nick, again thanks a lot for this amazing journey through Kenya!!
