Awesome Safari
July 2026
Wow, it was a lifetime excellent experience with Serengeti Landmark Tours, organised our 7 days midrange exclusive tour of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, & Serengeti, journey starting from Arusha. The sales manager Raymond was very professional and very prompt in replying to our queries even during out of office hours. We were a family group of 11 adults & 3 childrens from UK & Raymond planned our whole trip very well with outstanding service. We all 14 of us really enjoyed the whole safari in our 3 Toyota jeeps. Thanks to our 3 drivers, Herman, Robert & Asenge were knowledgeable & made sure that we had the best experience.
Finally, thanks to everyone for making this safari a memorable excellent experience.

Can't believe they are so amazing
I recently joined the 10-day Kenya and Tanzania tour organized by Global Threads Safari, and it was an unforgettable experience. The entire trip was very well organized, and I truly enjoyed every part of the journey.
First of all, I would like to express my appreciation for the team’s excellent communication. Their responses on WhatsApp were always prompt and helpful, which made it easy to solve any questions or unexpected issues during the trip. Their support gave me great peace of mind throughout the safari.
I would also like to give special thanks to our Kenyan driver, Gilbert. He was extremely professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. He always made sure we were comfortable and safe, and his experience helped us enjoy the best possible safari experience. His driving skills and knowledge of the wildlife made the game drives even more exciting and memorable.
In Tanzania, the chef also did an amazing job. He was very thoughtful and paid close attention to our preferences and needs. Every meal was carefully prepared, delicious, and varied, which was especially impressive considering the camping environment. We truly looked forward to every meal.
Overall, this was a wonderful and memorable trip. The professional staff, excellent service, delicious food, and beautiful wildlife experiences made the journey truly special. I highly recommend Global Threads Safari to anyone planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania.

An amazing trip with Alphadean tours and safaris!!
It was an incredible 7-day safari packed with wildlife and great discoveries. Alphadean Tours put together a very diverse itinerary for us, with every stop having its own unique feel. The guides and drivers were highly skilled, and everything was completely faithful to the initial description.

Raymond my man
A transfer took us from the airport.
I'm in a group of four, and in the Jeep another kind couple join us.
All the organization was fantastic, with lunch stops back and forth to the Masai Mara. The accomodations are simple but comfortable, with WiFi and hot water within the time limits.
Raymond was the guide assigned to us: we just love him, funny and always smiling, he do all he can do to make sure we're having a memorable experience!

Opt for Raymond and Sankale
Choosing a safari company was honestly quite confusing. We spent a lot of time researching and contacting different operators before deciding on Axis Safaris. After the experience, I can confidently say we made the right choice.
We visited Masai Mara during the peak season, so we were a little nervous about the crowds, pricing and whether everything would actually go as promised. But Axis was very professional from the beginning. The communication was clear, the arrangements were smooth, and everything felt trustworthy and well organised.
But the biggest reason our safari was so good was our guide, Raymond.
Raymond was exceptional. He has great leadership and people skills, and you can tell that he genuinely enjoys what he does. He wasn’t just driving us around looking for animals — he understood the Mara, knew where to look and was constantly communicating with other guides. He has good relationships with guides from other companies as well, which was a huge advantage. When there was a good sighting somewhere, information would quickly travel between the guides and Raymond knew how to get us there.
That made a massive difference, especially during peak season. We got some incredible sightings and never felt like we were just following the crowd. Raymond was also extremely patient and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.
Our stay at Sankale was another pleasant surprise. Considering this was a relatively budget-friendly safari, the room was excellent — clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. After spending hours on game drives, having a comfortable place to come back to was definitely appreciated.
For us, we somehow ended up with the perfect combination: a reasonably priced safari with Axis, an amazing guide like Raymond, and a comfortable stay at Sankale. It gave us the experience we wanted without feeling like we had to spend a fortune.
There are obviously many safari operators to choose from, and we did our homework before booking. Based on our experience, Axis Safaris is a company I would happily recommend if you’re looking for something professional, reliable and reasonably priced.
And if you get Raymond as your guide, consider yourself lucky! 😄
Thank you to the Axis team and especially Raymond for making our Masai Mara experience one of the highlights of our Kenya trip. 🦁❤️

Axis provided me the best budgeted safari and stay
Axis gave me one of the best Masai Mara safari experiences at a great price.
They arranged my stay at Sankale Camp, where the caretakers were incredibly warm and welcoming. They truly made me feel at home throughout my stay.
I was lucky enough to see the Big Five on Day 1 itself! A big thanks to Raymond, our guide, who went above and beyond to give us the best experience and make sure we got the best views of the animals.
I’m really glad I chose Axis. They made my Masai Mara trip truly memorable, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a safari.

Good arrangement, nice adventure
They arranged everything within the tour, so we can just simply enjoy the safari during the 6-days tour. It was great to see such many wild animals and the crossing over even with a pretty tight schedule, and enjoy the natural scenery of Africa.

Flexible, understanding and fun
We had an amazing 2-day safari to Mikumi National Park with Asante Bibi Tours & Safaris, and we highly recommend them.
From the very beginning, the experience was excellent, even though we were late with planning and booking. Communication was very fast, and they always answered our questions quickly. The booking process was easy, including secure online payment, and they were very flexible and willing to adjust the safari according to our wishes. We really appreciated that they listened to us and helped create the experience we wanted.
When we arrived by ferry in Dar es Salaam, everything was organised perfectly. We were met and taken care of from the start. Pray was with us throughout the whole journey and made sure everything went smoothly, from the train and car transfers to the safari and return to Dar es Salaam.
The safari itself was unforgettable. We had a private safari vehicle with a knowledgeable guide and driver, giving us plenty of time to enjoy the wildlife. We were lucky to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos and many other animals. Seeing lions and elephants in their natural environment was a truly special experience. We also saw a lot of animals on our way to and from the national park.
Pray was not only professional and helpful, but also very friendly and funny. His good humour and positive attitude made the journey even more enjoyable. We felt safe, relaxed and well looked after the entire time.
The trip included lunch, dinner, accommodation at a comfortable lodge, breakfast, a visit to a Maasai community, time to relax by the pool and lunch before returning to Dar.
A special thank you to Pray, our guides and drivers Abel and Mwanaidi for making this safari such a memorable experience. Their personal attention made a big difference. If you are looking for a reliable safari company with fast communication, flexibility and genuine personal service, we can highly recommend them.

Terrible organization and program not followed
Unfortunately for us, the expert was very disappointing... particularly regarding the organization, which turned out to be disastrous with the agency manager.
We were informed the day before that the program would be modified. The manager confirmed that the activities would remain the same, only the schedule was changing. We accepted because we trusted her.
On the first day, we set off for a hike around Mount Kilimanjaro, where a guide was supposed to accompany us. A taxi driver arrived to take us, we drove for two hours, and when we asked the driver when the hike was scheduled, he told us there was no guide and no hike. Yet we had paid for it. The manager hadn't informed us.
We told the manager, who, as compensation, promised to take us to see the animal migration in the northern Serengeti the next day. We accepted.
We thought it was probably a mistake, which can happen, that the next day would be better. WRONG!
She told us that the safari guide would be there the next day at 6:00 AM. Except that when we woke up at 4:30 AM, we saw a message from the manager at 12:30 AM, telling us that the guide would actually be there at 7:00 AM... We weren't exactly thrilled, as we could have easily slept another hour, given how tired we were.
So we explained to our guide that, as compensation for the previous day, the agency manager had promised us a day trip to the northern Serengeti to witness the animal migration.
The guide hadn't been informed of the change in schedule, so he called the manager, who told him to proceed with the trip to the northern Serengeti to observe the animal migration. He hung up with her and explained that it was okay for him, we could go, however, it added 10 to 12 hours of extra driving with no guarantee of seeing any attractions.
The manager had assured us that it was close to our hotel and that it wouldn't affect the itinerary.
To put it simply, she lied to us because if we had known it would take a whole day on the road, we wouldn't have accepted this compensation.
So we set off and drove for about 6 hours as planned to reach the Serengeti.
But there, we saw a lot of wild animals, and our guide didn't stop. He continued driving quite fast. We asked him why he wasn't stopping, and he told us we had to go to the hotel because it was far.
So we showed him the agreed-upon itinerary, and he told us he hadn't been informed, that their agency manager hadn't told him there was a safari day on the very first day.
Our guide was very understanding; he even took the time to stop whenever he saw wild animals so we could observe them. As a result, we arrived at the hotel at night, and that's when things started to turn into a nightmare.
We arrived at a sort of base camp in the middle of the savannah. So far, nothing alarming; it was what was planned in the itinerary.
Except that after about 10 hours of driving, we discovered to our dismay that there was no water or electricity there, and our phones were nearly dead.
We tried to contact the manager to request compensation, but we haven't received a response since.
The next day, our guide told us he had spoken to the manager and that we would receive compensation equal to half the price, and that we would go to the camp that evening to get water and electricity.
We arrived at the camp and found a tent to sleep in, and one shower for 50 people (see photos).
Our guide told us the manager would be waiting for us at 4:00 PM at Arusha airport to arrange the compensation. She never showed up and hasn't responded since, so we filed a complaint with the relevant authorities.
We haven't heard from the manager since, and we are devastated.
