Safari to Ngorongoro Crater
Our safari to the Ngorongoro Crater was a wonderful experience, and everyone in our group had a great time. The landscape was breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to see a wide variety of animals in their natural habitat.
During the safari, we saw rhinos, lions, hippos, wildebeest, buffalo, zebras, monkeys, and many different species of birds. It was amazing to see so many animals up close and to experience the incredible wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide was exceptionally friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He took us to all the best places to see the animals and made sure that we had a great experience throughout the entire safari. He explained a lot about the animals, the landscape, and the crater, and he was able to answer all of our questions.
For lunch, we were provided with a lunch box, which was absolutely sufficient and gave us everything we needed for a relaxing break during the day.
Overall, the safari was an unforgettable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and would definitely recommend this safari to anyone visiting the Ngorongoro Crater. It was well organized, informative, and full of amazing wildlife encounters.
Nicole was outstanding!
Axis was a great value for a your. In fact, I feel it was way beyond what you would expect at this price point. The company is so organized and communicates so well with their staff. The tour guides themselves collaborate to ensure all guests get what they need. If one tour guide sees an animal- they call each other to share the location, etc. Also, the guides are so professional and polite- and so knowledgeable about the animals so they share such interesting facts! Their number one goal is to make sure get experience everything you hoped for. We had an amazing guide, Nicole, who knew do many facts and went far and beyond to take us to all the animals. I would highly recommend this company!

Amazing experience!
We went to Safari with jocky tours and David Mukami. It was a really nice experience and the driver made sure we saw all the animals! Beautiful Masai Mara experience including a hot air ballon flight we will never forget! Thank you Jocky Tours for planning everything including some changes we did on the way!

Best experience
Our honeymoon with Engolong team was pure magic. Their exceptional service captivated my spouse, making our Masai Mara and Nakuru safari absolutely unforgettable, deeply romantic, and seamless throughout.

A must-visit in this lifetime: a hunting trip
This was hands down the best safari itinerary I have ever experienced in my life! From the moment we stepped into the reserve, every second was filled with pure wonder. Thanks to our expert guide's incredible tracking skills, we not only got up close with the magnificent "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo) but also witnessed thousands of wild animals roaming freely across the plains.If you are looking for a soul-stirring adventure that perfectly blends wild exploration with luxury, I highly recommend this safari. It will exceed all your expectations!

very experienced, funny, good English, perfect pacing, a guy youd want to hang out with in private
We had Andrew Kamau as a guide and were astonished by the proffesionalism of him and Axis. He was funny, very experienced with a good English, led us to alle the big five and much more and always knew when to speed up on a "mission" and when to slow down, take a photo/washroom/lunch break to make this exhausting trip really enjoyable and memorable throughout.
The diversity and amount of wildlife to be seen was way beyond what we were expecting, and we felt that Kenyans in general had really made preservation a priority for their country and are rightfully proud of the success.
Vegan or vegetarian options on this tour and in Kenya in general have a way better availability than in many European countries.
We were wondering before the vacation, if it could be worth it, to rent a car and do the drives ourselves, but gladly decided against it and booked this fantastic pretty much all inclusive tour. Just lean back and enjoy all the wonders on the way, you do not need to drive on Kenyan highways and through Savannah rivers, all the Hotels, entrance fees and Lunch options are prearranged for you.
We also had a "special" wish granted in dropping us off on the way back to Nairobi with all our luggage near Naivasha. Communication before our trip was flawless and really helped us to get the most out of our vacation.
Only thing Axis should review in their process: Tripadvisor has a field for Hotel-pickup-time that let us choose 7:30 (which would have been to late anyway considering the 8:00 start at the Headquarters that we couldnt know of). At midnight before, the driver told us he would arrive at 7:00, making it impossible for us to take our hotel breakfast or arrange a breakfast bag or something. So probably review the options given in this field or communicate changes from that plan at least half a day in advance.
Thank you for the fun time and all the memories!
Safe, reliable, helpful
We arrived in Moshi and got talking to a guy on the street who recommended us Bora Trekking. He came and met us within minutes and explained what he could offer. We went to his office and had a chat. Agreed on prices for trekking Kilimanjaro, toilet, gear and all that’s needed. We went two days later. He came to check our gear and dropped off a bag for the porters to carry our stuff in, then 1 hour later he got his team of 10 merry men to take us up to the start - it was a great experience.
Not Bora trekkings fault, but do check out the gear you hire before climbing. My zipper on sleeping bag was broke, would have been a disaster if it couldn’t have been fixed with needle and thread. So just check the stuff before you set off.
We also went to see the waterfall with him. He took us personally and it was a great day out.
And he collected us from our hotel yet again and arranged to go see the hot springs.
We can highly recommend Bora Trekking. He works with the locals and will help you out with anything, restaurants, hotels whatever you need.

Jacob is a true professional, took us to see the Big Five in just two days with 4 on the first day.
Jacob is a true professional, took us to see the Big Five in just two days with 4 of them being on the first day. Excellent driver, took us to see the animals without stressing them or annoying the wildlife. He spots animals with ease from hundreds of meters away and overall is a great great guide
