An Unforgettable Journey with Exceptional Service
Our trip was absolutely magnificent and filled with unforgettable memories. Moran Discoveries & Tours provided a truly professional service from start to finish. Everything was well organized, reliable and seamless. Our guides were extremely kind, helpful and attentive throughout the journey. We truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend them for an amazing safari experience.

It was the worst possible start to our safari.
When we were communicating with the tour company about paying the remaining balance, Emmanuel did not show up at the agreed time. He contacted us and said, “I’m at church now, so I’ll be one hour late.” However, even after an hour had passed, he still did not show up.
We were very disappointed and became worried about paying the safari fee. We started to feel that we could not trust the company. We even wondered whether this might be a scam company where we would pay the remaining $370 and then the safari vehicle would never come to pick us up on the day of the safari.
After another two hours, he finally arrived. He told us, “I will never do this again. The safari tour is safe and reliable. Hakuna Matata.”
On another day, a different member of our group went to pay the remaining balance. Even then, there were several things that made us worried. He tried to change the agreed meeting time repeatedly at the last minute, and he also seemed to have misunderstood the starting date of our safari.
We may also have been too easily irritated by small things, and there are certainly things we can reflect on. However, since this was our first contact with the tour company, it was very unpleasant to have someone casually arrive several hours late without showing much sign of regret or concern about the situation.
Fortunately, the safari itself went smoothly. The food was very delicious, and the safari vehicle arrived to pick us up on time on the actual day. We were also able to see many of the animals we had hoped to see, so overall, we were satisfied with the safari experience.
I sincerely hope that Emmanuel will keep his promises and respect agreed times, so that other customers will not have to experience the same kind of situation.
I look forward to seeing how Emmanuel handles his work in the future. Thank you for taking care of us. We really enjoyed the safari.

Unforgettable
Topy Safaris and Tours will make your trip to Tanzania an unforgettable experience. Jackson is very accommodating and makes sure you get what you want out of a safari. His guide Ben is truly an amazing person and guide! The knowledge, compassion and dedication that he has is overwhelming. We learnt so much about the wildlife from him. We met other Topy guides also who were very personal and engaging. You will not regret booking a safari with Topy Tours. I cannot recommend them enough!

Highly professional and perfectly organized safari agency
Axis Safari is highly professional and well-organized agency.
John Mwangi was our guide; he turned the trip we had always dreamed of into an exceptional and truly magical experience. He knows the parks inside out including the territories of the various animals, and always does his utmost to ensure we see as much as possible. He went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout this six-day safari.
It's a 10/10 experience that I highly recommend.

I had a great time on the safari experience. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and seeing the animals in their natural habitat was unforgettable. Everything was well organized, and I would definitely recommend it to others.

5 stars! Fantastic company
We had a brilliant time with Mercy Africa, I would highly recommend them to everyone. They kept in great communication with us both before the trip and during- making sure that everything was ok for us. The accommodation they chose was beautiful and the food was great. We had a hot lunch every day and we added in alcohol which was a nice touch. Our food appeared much better than lots of the other safari tour guides with some people coming over to ask who our safari company was- because the food looked that good! Our driver Benjamin was fantastic! He made sure that we saw everything that we wanted to and we were able to get great photos. He was friendly and easy to chat too, but also a great driver and we felt very safe. Beatrice and Derek were great! They helped to organise our entire trip for us and even organised a dinner on our last day as our flight had gotten delayed. I also want to thank Shedrack who did our transfer to the airport- he was a great driver and a really nice guy. The entire experience was good value for money. I will be recommending Mercy Africa to all my family and friends.

Great tour operator! Well organised and very enjoyable.
Excellent experience from start to finish! Communication before the trip was very good, and everything was arranged smoothly and on time. The pickup was punctual, and the entire trip was very well organised.
The AA Lodge in Amboseli was fantastic, with a beautiful setting, great service and excellent food.
A special mention goes to my guide, who was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of interesting information and knew exactly where to find wildlife, including several large elephant herds. As I was particularly interested in birdwatching, he also made an effort to focus on birds and helped me spot and identify several species. We spotted also some rare animals like gerenuks, dik-diks and more.
I had an absolutely wonderful time in Amboseli and would definitely recommend this safari experience!

Hands down the best safari ever, thanks to Somewhere in Africa and Charles's incredible guiding!
finding the right safari agency is the hardest part for the safari tour. I contacted almost more than 30 agencies, and I chose the somewhere in Africa.
and this is my best choice.
Nuhu who had connected me for itinerary is so nice. he didn't push me as the other agency, he answered for around 20 questions, made sure there were no misunderstandings about the itinerary. he is the first one who checked the lodge availability at the 1st itinerary. he worked so clear, fast and well communicated.
For our guide, Charles is the best guide ever. he is so smart, humble and thoughtful. we started game drive from Northern for the great migration, and we saw it around 4times during only 1and a half day. he drives so well, found the animals so fast, and knows about everything in the serengeti wild-life. he answered us every questions. he is also very passionate. when we were watching the leopard on the tree, it was hard to see because it was hiding in the leaves. Charles kept trying find a good position so all of us could watch the leopard soooo well. not for leopard but every moment he did his best for us. If i come back to serengeti I'd absolutely do this again with Charles.
Hope my review is helpful to all future visitors, don't hesitate and make a nice deal with this agency and have wonderful experience!!

Great safari
We did an eight day safari with Axis Africa covering Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Overall our experience with Axis was great - Tabitha was very responsive from my first enquiry and was great to deal with while we tried to narrow down exactly what safari to go for. Our guide Ben was excellent - very chilled, really personable, amazing at spotting animals and finding the best place to park so we could get great pictures. Everything ran very smoothly throughout our safari and Ben was happy to make stops along the way if we needed to. I'd compared a few different companies and Axis came out the cheapest for a private safari - some of our accommodation wasn't amazing but I guess that's reflected in the price. Would highly recommend!
