Wonderful safari!
We went on a 5-day safari in August, visiting the Tarangire/Manyara area, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our safari was very well organized. On the day of our arrival, we were warmly welcomed at the airport by our two guides, Mahmoud and Hamisi.
Mahmoud is a really excellent and experienced driver. We always felt safe with him. Hamisi shared a lot of information with us in very good German, which made our trip not only safe but also very informative.
We were able to admire the beautiful landscapes of Tanzania and see many different animals. We experienced some truly unique moments and even saw the Big Five.
We were very happy with our trip and would definitely recommend Mega Adventures to others.
A very big thank you to our two amazing guides! Thank you, Mahmoud and Hamisi!

Well organized, priority to customer and quality over budget
We went for a 6 days budget trip (masai mara, nakuru, amboseli) + 1 day trip to Nairobi NP.
The travel: the car was comfortable with enough space for all the people joning. We spent of course lot of hours in the car, but the stops where planned perfectly.
The parks: there are no words to describe the parks we visited, we were able to see almost all the animals and the great migration. Even if the animals repeats, it's never boring and the landscape changes every time.
The lodges: this was the point that i was afraid of when i looked for the lodges on internet, but as soon as we stepped into the lodges I've find out that they were completely over the expectations and actually very clean, cool, and the food was all right! We've been in the Wild Nest Camp, which i think was better than the one initially on the options (lenchada) at masai mara, buraha zenoni at nakuru, and Manjaro Eco camp at Amboseli. I would like to spend a few for this last camp, the manjaro eco camp, because it was very very far away from a budget camp, the food was very good but the thing that we didn't expected was that we saw animals and had the chance to do some walking outside the camp (and we saw elephants, giraffes and others!), with a stunning view of the kilimanjaro. Peter, the manager, knew how to deal with tourists.
The guides: Andrew was our guide for masai mara and Nakuru, very thanks to him because he always tried his best to make us watch animals from a close distance and the great migration.
Then we changed car and we met Amos, a very expert guide always ready to provide us informations about the parks and the animals. Moreover he has a very safe drive which is rare in kenya. Thank to you too!
The company: i definetly suggest Axis for your safari trip in Kenya, they will provide you the best experience.
Why 4 stars: the only reason i give four stars instead of five is because of the itinerary. In my opinion it should be mentioned that most of the chances to see the cats are at Masai Mara, so it would have been better to do the trip in the opposite way, or focus the masai mara experience on the cats since the other animals are a lot also in the other parks. Also, we went to naivasha for the boat ride, which is very good, but if we only knew that it was such good we wanted for sure to do the walk. I think that with those 2 points fixed it would have been perfect.
Anyway it's a very positive experience that we will never forget. Thanks to Axis and all the team.
See you

A professional and friendly company
It is a great and unforgettable experience. There are too many impressive moments to write, my favorite leopards, the smiled elephants, elegant giraffes, the crossing, biting flyings... Thanks for my my guide Heriel, he is professional, nice, wise and has strong execution capability, thanks for taking me to see all the animals I wanted to see, the sunrise and sunset, the local shops ranther than the scenic shops...And also my consulting manager Omar, he can always respond and solve problems timely, the accommodations he booked are also very good, like Dove, Ngorongoro Farm House.. Wish see more hunting time next time!
Big 5 for great value!
We had a fantastic experience with Axis Africa Safaris and would absolutely recommend them for a great-value Kenyan safari. We chose a budget option and were really impressed with how well everything was organized and executed.
Our driver/guide, Peter Ngige, was excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and especially good at getting us into position quickly when animals were spotted. His ability to navigate and anticipate where the wildlife would be made a huge difference, and we were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five during our safari as well as the great migration.
Overall, Axis Africa offered an amazing safari experience at a very reasonable price. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife, felt well taken care of throughout the trip, and had a wonderful time. We would definitely use them again!

9.5/10 Nice Safari Tour Experience
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Colours Africa. Our 7-day tour included exploring Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru, and Maasai Mara National Reserve. The accommodations were nice, and the tour package was definitely worth the price.
From what I researched and compared with other tour operators, Colours Africa offers a reasonably priced package. They can customize the itinerary based on your budget while making sure you are able to visit all the places you want to see. The sales team was very responsive and patient with all our enquiries, especially since we did not have much experience with safaris.
A big thumbs-up to our tour guide, Jack! He guided us very informatively and has excellent driving skills, which was especially important as the road conditions in the national parks were mostly rough. Besides being a tour guide, he was also a reliable person who advised us on making slight adjustments to the itinerary while ensuring that we did not get too exhausted from the long game drives. Jack even cleaned the vehicle for us as we were exposed to a huge amount of dust throughout the safari.
The only thing I would suggest is that communication within the Colours Africa team could be better aligned. I requested the tour guide’s contact details and pickup information before arriving in Nairobi, but I did not receive a clear response on WhatsApp from the sales representative even after following up multiple times and providing my flight information. However, we still managed to get the pickup service without any major issues.
Overall, we had an amazing experience with Colours Africa and would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

Perfect
The most incredible experience!!
Was so excited before the trip had started knowing we had Loth as a guide after reading all the reviews about him. He exceeded expectations and we are so grateful for him and the experience he gave us with Amshar! Every day something magical happened for us from watching a pride of lions feed to having lunch in front of a lion all on our own, such special moments to have to ourselves. Teaching us Swahili, talking about cultural differences and he was so informative about the animals and the parks. What a great representation he is to Amshar Serengeti adventure I could recommend them enough.
Can’t fault our trip at all, Asante sana

Hands down, best tour company!!
I started corresponding with Alex a year prior to our trip. He was so kind and patient, answering my many questions. Once my group and I finally met him, it was like we were already great friends! Alex was an exceptional guide and gave us a five star safari! We were able to see just about every animal possible in Tarangire, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. He shared his wealth of knowledge and joined us in the fun camaraderie. The visits to the tribes were a fun and educational surprise!
Alex always had a smile on his face and was so accommodating to our group of seven. I cannot describe in words how awesome our experience with Tanzania Safari Deluxe was!! Thank you, my friend!!

Incredible East Africa , Zanzibar , Serengeti and NgoroNgoro Crater 👍👍
I’ve previously visited Tanzania but only on business trips to Dar EsSalam .
I’ve informed my two sons all of their life that one day I would love to take them on an African Safari . I booked us to visit Zanzibar and then booked a two day Safari and we were picked up at the hotel in Zanzibar then flew from the airport over to mainland Tanzania . Our guide picked us up and then took us through Serengeti , we had an incredible day including a wonderful lunch in a restaurant but the amount of wildlife we saw was incredible and I’ve previously been on a small safari in North Kenya and another one recently in Cape Town . They were both very good but this safari in Serengeti was unbelievable and I saw several species of animals I hadn’t seen before . We then stayed overnight in a lovely hotel in Serengeti and the following morning we left at sunrise and drove to NgorNgoro Crater and again the scenery was unbelievable and the wildlife was amazing and the greatest was to see a Female Cheetah with 5 cubs , once we got to the Crater the wildlife was unbelievable with thousands of Wildebeest and lots of Zebras and Gazelles and thousands of Greater Flamingos in one of the large lakes . The food in Tanzania was excellent , and it was lovely to see lots of Maasai Tribes with hundreds of cattle and goats
