Exciting
Overall, I really enjoyed my safari experience. I got to see leopards twice. I would have liked to stay a bit longer to watch animals in their daily activities such as the elephants- but the other passengers may have other interests and needs. The guides did their best to be accomodating. I tried a night drive which I would not recommend- I did not see much. My last drive was amazing- I went on a dirt road without other vehicles around and saw a few amazing birds since we went at a slower pace. The guide was very knowledgeable beyond the Big 5, which I appreciated. I was very lucky and saw quite a few animals in my first two drives, so after that it was a plus. I also did the Panarama drive. The scenary is beautiful but the driver was not very good at informing us how much time we had in each location- so we rushed through some of the stops that were gorgeous and then ended early. Fortunately, the driver allowed us to go to one more location that was not part of the tour. It would be good to figure this out at the beginning of the day. The tour company helped me figure out the logistics so that I could do everything that I wanted to in very few days- and the women at the lodge were also very flexible and accomodating. I would recommend this company to others.
Paul was knowledgeable, very helpful, good interaction at the beginning and end of our trip.
We were on a lowish budget trip but we still saw beautiful places, ate delicious food and had a great experience in Africa. Our guide tried very hard to cover enough ground so that the group saw the scenes and animals they had on their wish lists. Plenty photography stops and great images captured.
We did have a patch where we stayed at several lodges for one night only and my advice is to stay 2 nights minimum to cover the ground and also to leave enough time to relax and not be packing your bags every day. However we knew that at time of booking and that proved good for the young and energetic!

Good value safari
The Kruger Safari with Panorama Drive was an enjoyable experience. The lodge was nice, and the cost of the trip was a good value for the experience.

Our 5 days in Kenya // Excellent tour but can be improved
Our experience with Baboon Budget Safari was great, but it surely can be improved. We have booked 5 days tour with them. The owner Dennis and his team were very nice to us. Their response time was also quick and helped us with every doubt. On the last day too, Dennis arranged a vehicle for us to cover some other locations in Nairobi at an extra cost.
The driver was on time to pick us up at the airport. Our only bad experience was that the driver was not able to understand our English. He knew little English, and communicating with him was a problem. This continued for all five days. He even missed our lunch location but then Dennis arranged our lunch at a different location. But still, we lost time in the same.
But the driver was a very good-hearted person. He went the extra mile and even did offroading so that we could see all the animals. The effort was visible in him. He even asked other drivers about the spot of animals and then drove us there. He was with us at all times, and lastly drove us to the airport on time.
In short, I can recommend the Babbon safari to any traveler.
Babbon Safari- You guys can help improve the driver's English and provide him with internet access. He did not have Internet, hence he can't use Google Maps either.

I absolutely enjoyed travelling My friend and the guide John from afritrek. We saw Akagera, lake buyoni, bwindi, kisoro, nyungwe. I Akagera John made sure we saw everything.
John is optimistic. He makes sure we will do everything and more. He is flexible and will listen to suggestions on the way.

perfect organization
I texted them for a visit in Gombe NP and immediately got an answer. They organized me a day trip for the next day, connected me to a very nice guide, and even provided me vegetarian food on request. The guide then picked me up early in the morning from Kigoma. We saw a lot of chimpanzees and other monkeys and the guide could give me a lot of information about them. I could then spend the rest of the day on the beautiful beach at Gombe NP.
To sum up, it was an amazing day with perfect organization.
The only minor disadvantage was the prize. Although, they were adapting it to my low travel budget, I found it still a little bit expensive. However, the good thing was, that everything was already included (breakfast, lunch, boat cost, entrance fees, guide and pickup from hotel)

Cynthia is a good planner,accomodating, prompt in respnding my queries.
We had the most wonderful experience on safari with Axis Africa.The safari helped us to witness several wonderful experience.such as lions mating.Lions, giraffe, elephants crossing our roads.We saw many animals during our 3 days trip at Masai Mara . Jambo mara safari lodge was good to stay. But the experience of staying 1 night in Lencheda delux camp was amazing.Especially the fresh food served by them.
Nakuru game drive was another exiting part.we saw white nd black rhinos, beautiful birds nd flamingos.
At Naivasa we took just the boat ride.We saw feeding of so many hipoos, innumerable special beautiful birds.The eagles diving nd picking up the fish thrown by the boatman was worth watching.
Finally,we took a walk in hell's gate.I will recommend,one should take the pain of getting down to have lifetime experience of that Spectacular scenery including the towering cliffs,water-gouged gorges,stark rock towers nd a natural spa.
I will strongly recommend to choose Axis Africa for safari in Kenya to everyone.They are professional, reasonable cost nd fun to be with.During safaris communication of the driver/guide was very good nd clear.

Kind friendly and knowledgeable
My three-day gorilla experience with Antique Safari was incredible. Geofrey was knowledgeable and friendly, and the reliable car made navigating Bwindi Forest exceptional. The local guides were well-informed, and interacting with the local community added a meaningful touch to the adventure.
