an unforgettable and excellent journey in Kenya
Among countless local tour operators, we chose Camp Trek primarily because of Margaret's exceptional efficiency. Almost every email I sent received a reply within half an hour—even late at night in Kenya. When we met in Nairobi, I even joked with her, asking if she was a superhuman who could work 24/7 without rest.
After landing, we were handed over to our guide Ben. He is a highly professional safari guide who opened the door to Africa’s wild world for us. We saw nearly every animal we had hoped to encounter, and each time he positioned the vehicle perfectly—right in the ideal spot—for breathtaking views.
Every detail of the trip matched exactly what we had booked beforehand. We were extremely satisfied and found the entire experience trustworthy.

Safari – It couldn't have been better!
We changed our plans at the last minute and decided to book a **5-day private safari in Tanzania**. Through SafariBookings, we quickly received a very competitive offer directly from Lion King Adventures.
Rebecca did an excellent job designing our itinerary. She understood all our wishes, incorporated every detail, and put together exactly the safari we had hoped for.
Once the payment was completed through a secure process, Rose took over the operational planning. She kept us well informed and gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly—and it did.
Our safari exceeded all expectations. Benny, our driver and guide, was highly professional, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs.
Without going into every detail, from the first enquiry to the last day of our trip, everything was perfectly organised. From A to Z, it was a truly memorable holiday, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures.
Very knowledgeable & friendly
Muzi was an excellent guide. He seemed to know all of the best viewing places. He was also extremely nice to our children aged 14, 11, & 11.

Exceptional Safari from Start to Finish
Our safari experience with Axis Safaris was exceptional from start to finish, and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Kenya for a Safari Tour.
The pricing was fair and competitive, and from our first enquiry Tabitha was helpful and responsive. Communication was great throughout the booking process, with all of our questions answered promptly, making everything straightforward and stress-free.
Our 6-day safari was very well organised and ran smoothly from beginning to end. We visited the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, along with many other animals and scenery throughout. Our accommodation at each stop was lovely and everyone we met - staff and other tourists - were also great.
A special mention has to go to our guide, Mohammed, who was fantastic throughout the entire trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient and always happy to answer questions or share information about the wildlife, local culture and the areas we visited. He worked incredibly hard to ensure everyone in the group was comfortable, well looked after and had the best possible experience.
We had an amazing time and are very grateful to have had Mo as our guide.
Thank you to Mohammed, Tabitha and the whole Axis Safaris team for delivering a first class Safari experience.

Wonderful 5-day Mount Kenya Trek with a great team
I had a fantastic time doing a 5-day trek to Mount Kenya with Mountain Hiking Ventures. The communication with Irene during booking and pre-departure was smooth and she answered all of my many questions that I had. I met my excellent guide Kevin and porter Stanley at the office on the morning of departure where I also left my suitcase while going on the trek. We travelled by a shared minibus to Nanyuki where we also picked up the equipment I rented and then started the trek in the afternoon. The trekking itself was amazing with beautiful views. Kevin kept a good pace throughout the trek to help me adapt to the high altitude (I am an experienced hiker but I had not been to altitude above 2500 m before this trek). He was also always keen to tell me about the fascinating plants and animals we saw along the way (I am a biologist so this was very welcome!) and we had a great time chatting about life in Kenya. We reached the summit successfully which was amazing (but very cold and windy, even for a person who lives in Scotland!). The rest of the team, Stanley, Morris, and Naftari, were all super friendly and hospitable, always tried to make my experience as good as possible, and prepared some amazing meals for me (in fact, there was always more than I could eat!). I did the Sirimon Up and Chogoria Down version of the trip which I thought was a great choice with very good spacing of the camps along the elevation gradient and sufficient time to relax in the camps after hiking. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and can absolutely recommend Kevin and the rest of the group to anyone who is considering doing this trek!

Knowledgeable, kind and professional from start to finish
Communication before the trip was clear and quick, and everything was well organized. Our guide was very knowledgeable, polite and friendly, always happy to answer our questions and share insights about the wildlife and local culture. The service felt personal and reliable, and the value for money was great. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the whole safari. Highly recommended.

Professional company with experienced drivers who provide an unforgettable experience
We recently completed a 6-day safari covering the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli, including a hot air balloon safari, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every destination offered something unique, from the incredible wildlife of the Masai Mara to the beautiful scenery around Lake Naivasha and the breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli. The hot air balloon safari was a real highlight and provided a completely different perspective of the African landscape at sunrise.
A huge part of what made this trip so special was our guide, Mo. His knowledge of the animals, their behaviour and the surrounding landscapes was exceptional. Rather than simply driving around hoping to spot wildlife, he understood where different animals were likely to be and how the terrain and time of day influenced their movements. Thanks to his experience, we were able to enjoy some incredible sightings that we might otherwise have missed.
Mo was also extremely accommodating throughout the trip. He always took the time to understand what we wanted to see and do, adapting the game drives and daily plans wherever possible to make sure we got the most from our safari. Whether it was spending longer watching a pride of lions, searching for a particular species or finding the perfect viewpoint, nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. His enthusiasm for wildlife was infectious, and he was always happy to answer our questions with interesting facts and stories about Kenya’s ecosystems, history and culture.
Just as importantly, Mo was friendly, approachable and professional throughout the six days. He created a relaxed atmosphere that made every game drive enjoyable, and it genuinely felt like we were exploring with someone who was passionate about sharing his country with visitors. Long journeys between parks flew by thanks to his conversations and local knowledge.
The accommodation throughout the safari was also excellent. Each lodge was comfortable, clean and well maintained, providing the perfect place to relax after long days of exploring. The staff at every location were incredibly hospitable and welcoming, always greeting us with a smile and making sure we had everything we needed. The quality of the food was very good, and the service consistently exceeded our expectations.
Overall, this safari was one of the best travel experiences we have ever had. The combination of stunning landscapes, unforgettable wildlife encounters, excellent accommodation and outstanding hospitality made it a truly memorable trip. Having a guide like Mo elevated the experience even further, and we are incredibly grateful for all the effort he put into making our safari so special.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a safari in Kenya. From the incredible destinations and well-organised itinerary to the fantastic accommodation and exceptional guiding, everything was handled brilliantly. It was an experience we’ll remember for the rest of our lives, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to friends and family.

An unforgettable experience!
Our safari with Loren Safaris was truly amazing! We did an 8 day safari through the Masai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti in Tanzania. Loren worked with us from the beginning in a timely and professional manner to design a safari itinerary that was perfect and accommodating for us. The vehicles were very clean and comfortable for the safari. Our guides Ally and Aron were excellent, with lots of experience and great eyes for spotting wildlife! I would highly recommend booking with this Tanzanian-owned and operated safari company. I would also recommend requesting Ally or Aron as your guide!

Efficient, friendly, fantastic!
Out of the many tour companies available, we are so happy we picked Peak Cruise Safaris as it surpassed our expectations! Jennifer (owner) was very professional and worked with us promptly to design the itinerary of our dreams! We did 3 days and 2 nights full of gorilla and golden monkey trekking! Originally we booked gorilla trekking in Uganda, but given the recent Ebola outbreak, we were forced to change our itinerary to be exclusively in Rwanda. Jennifer helped sort this out for us and eased any worries on our end. Our tour guide Godfrey was also exceptional - very friendly and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend this tour company especially given the value for money and reliability! Our accommodations were really nice as well :)
