An experience of a lifetime
We had a wonderful time with Jocky Tours and with our guide and driver, Brian Muthui.
We were a group of 7 people. Brian Muthui knows his way around the Maasai Mara Natl Park! He spotted a male lion and we were able to see it sleeping barely a few meters in front of us. We also were lucky enough to witness the Great Migration thanks to Brian Muthui who knew to communicate with other guides and waiting until the right place and time. It was such a thrill and an experience we'll remember for a lifetime. We highly recommend Brian Muthui as a guide.

Best experience ever!!!
Our safari with Luwai Tanzania Safari from July 2–11 was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we could not recommend him more highly.
From the very beginning, everything was incredibly well organized, but what made this trip truly unforgettable was the people, especially our guide, Silas. He was absolutely exceptional. His knowledge seemed endless; he could identify virtually any bird we encountered and tell us fascinating details about it, and his ability to track wildlife was unbelievable. There were moments when we could barely see an animal ourselves, sometimes only an ear above the grass, and Sillas somehow knew exactly where to look and what was happening.
Thanks to him, we were able to experience some truly unimaginable moments, including an incredible leopard sighting that he personally tracked down for us. Seeing the great wildebeest migration was another unforgettable highlight and something our family will talk about for years to come.
What made Silas so special, though, went far beyond his skills as a guide. He made our family feel completely welcomed from the moment we met him. He was so accommodating, kind, and thoughtful that it genuinely felt like we had known him for years. He didn't just show us Tanzania, he shared it with us. On our first day, he took the time to show us his town and introduce us to aspects of his culture and everyday life. That personal connection meant so much to our family, and by the end of the trip, we had developed a genuine friendship with him.
The places we stayed throughout the trip were also amazing, with beautiful views, wonderful food, and incredibly welcoming staff. Every accommodation added something special to the experience, and we always felt comfortable and well taken care of.
Our itinerary through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti gave us such an incredible variety of landscapes and wildlife, but it was the combination of the breathtaking places, unforgettable encounters, and especially the people who shared the experience with us that made this trip so meaningful.
We came to Tanzania hoping for an incredible safari, but we left with memories that our entire family will treasure for the rest of our lives, and a friendship with Silas that we never expected to make along the way.
A huge thank you to Luwai Tanzania Safari and especially to Silas for giving our family such an extraordinary experience. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend Luwai Tanzania Safari. You will be in wonderful hands.

Excellent Tour Company
We went on an 8-day safari with Journeymark. Our experience was amazing. The quality of service throughout the trip was impressive. Especially our guide David, who made the trip so memorable. He was professional, knowledgeable, skilled, enthusiastic, and funny, which made the whole journey really enjoyable. His in-depth knowledge of wildlife and the local environment greatly enriched our experience, and his excellent driving skills and sharp eyes ensured we didn’t miss any special moments. It was an unforgettable adventure, and we would definitely recommend Journeymark to friends and anyone looking to experience wildlife in Kenya.

Amazing wildlife, welcoming people, safe country
Tanzania is an amazing country with abundant wildlife. Nature and scenic beauty is unparalleled. Food was very good and easy to find vegetarian food there. People of the country were so kind and honest and hardworking. We never worried about petty theft or crime. I, as a female, felt totally safe the whole time. The safari guide was so knowledgeable and kind. I loved the trip. I would definitely go back again.

I would describe Axis Africa Safaris as a professional, reliable, and customer-focused tour operator
If you are booking a safari with Axis Africa Safaris, you absolutely have to request Charles Pilipili as your guide and driver! From start to finish, Mr. Pilipili was kind, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly fun to be around. He taught us so much throughout the entire trip, from the animals we encountered and their behaviors to the land, wildlife, and rich Maasai culture and traditions. His incredible knowledge of the area and wildlife gave us the opportunity to see so many amazing animals and understand not just what we were seeing, but why they behaved the way they did. Mr. Pilipili went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience, always making sure we were comfortable, well taken care of, and safe throughout the entire trip. His attentiveness and responsibility gave us complete peace of mind, while his adventurous personality and Maasai pride made every day even more memorable. We truly felt that we were learning something new every day and gained a much deeper appreciation for Kenya, its wildlife, and its people. We left with incredible memories that will last a lifetime. You will truly not regret any part of your experience. Asante sana, Mr. Pilipili and the Axis Africa team!

Knowledgeable and professional
We had an amazing 5-day safari in Tanzania. Our guide, Mkwanda, made us feel safe throughout the entire trip while still getting us incredibly close to the wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hippos. He is an outstanding guide who knows every corner of the parks and always seemed to know exactly where to find even the most elusive animals.
We also really enjoyed our stays at Olea Farm Lodge and Land of Nature. I highly recommend finishing the trip with a stay at Aya Sophia Wildlife Villas—it was a wonderful way to end an unforgettable family adventure.
Kilimanjaro and safari
Kilimanjaro trip
July 2026
As we come to the end of an unforgettable journey through Kilimanjaro, the safari, and the beautiful island of Zanzibar, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this experience so special.
A huge thank you to Ahmed, HTS adventures whose meticulous planning, constant troubleshooting, and unwavering support throughout the trip ensured everything ran smoothly. Having you accompany us during the safari and Zanzibar, especially with such a large group, gave us all tremendous confidence and peace of mind.
Our deepest appreciation also goes to our wonderful mountain guides, Casper and Prosper, together with their incredible team of 99 angels—the porters, cooks, and support staff—whose dedication, encouragement, smiles, and tireless efforts helped us conquer Mount Kilimanjaro. Every step of our journey was made possible because of your hard work and care.
A sincere thank you to the safari team, especially the excellent drivers across the four safari vehicles under Ellie's guidance. Your professionalism, knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm made every game drive memorable and enjoyable.
Special thanks to our exceptional group leader, Prabhu, who successfully led our group of 28 people with calmness, positivity, and great organisation. Our appreciation also goes to Nanda and Priya, whose constant support, coordination, and attention to detail helped keep everything running seamlessly.
To every member of our group—from the UK, the USA, and India—thank you for making this more than just a holiday. It became a journey of friendship, shared laughter, mutual support, unforgettable memories, and lifelong bonds between families and friends. Whether celebrating summit success, encouraging each other through difficult moments, enjoying the incredible wildlife, or relaxing on the beaches of Zanzibar, every moment was richer because of all of you.
May this be just the beginning of many more adventures together.
Finally, my humble gratitude to Lord Hanuman for blessing us with strength, courage, protection, and a safe journey throughout, and for bringing us all home safely.
Until we meet again on another adventure...
Ciao! 🙏🏔️🦁🌴
