It was a wonderful, well-organized adventure
Tai Adventures handled the organization of our safari, including all transport and amenities. They placed us in the care of our guide, Jackson—a fantastic, young, and energetic guide who ensured we had an amazing safari experience. The only downside was the lack of communication regarding the itinerary during the trip. One thing worth noting: the roads in Kenya are like a rollercoaster!

Excellent
I had an amazing three day safari with John. He was always punctual, cheerful, attentive, and an incredibly careful driver. His knowledge of wildlife is impressive, and you can really tell how much he loves and respects the animals and his work.
Throughout the safari, he made a real effort to find the best spots and give us as many opportunities as possible to see different animals. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five! He explained so much about the wildlife, shared stories with us, and guided us throughout the entire experience.
John is also such a fun and friendly person. We laughed a lot, and we even ended up making a TikTok and dancing together! 😂 I absolutely loved the experience and would definitely recommend him to anyone going on safari.

Five Incredible Days and a Guide Who Made the Trip
Axis support team were very incredible, helpful and making booking easy,
We spent five days exploring Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru with Axis Africa, and it was genuinely one of the highlights of our trip to Kenya.
The safari was very well organized, communication was easy, and everything went smoothly throughout the five days. Each destination had something different to offer, but Masai Mara was definitely unforgettable.
A huge part of why we enjoyed the trip so much was our guide. He was exceptional from the first day until the last. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and, most importantly, genuinely passionate about making sure we had a great experience.
He put a lot of effort into every game drive, constantly looking for wildlife and taking us to the best possible spots. His knowledge of the animals and the parks was impressive, and he was always happy to answer our questions. You could tell that he wasn’t simply doing his job — he actually wanted us to experience the best of Kenya.
We also spent many hours driving together over the five days, and his personality made a huge difference. He was easygoing, funny and patient, and by the end of the safari it felt more like we had been traveling with a friend than just a tour guide.
The whole experience was worth it, but our guide is what turned a very good safari into an unforgettable one. I would happily book with Axis Africa again, and if I had the choice, I would specifically ask for the same guide.
Highly recommended!

Excellent tour operator, kindness, punctuality and excellent organization
The tour was very well structured, even though there were only 10 Days, we saw so many places and had wonderful experiences. The accomodations were nice and in wonderful locations. Our guide and driver were very friendly and helpful. The quality price ratio is also excellent. We would do it again if it could. Thanks Jimmy u

An absolutely amazing, unforgettable experience.
With so many African safari operators, we are so happy that we chose CampTrek.
From the very beginning of the booking process there were no surprises and everything was straightforward, and any questions or concerns were answered almost immediately.
Our safari guides were absolutely fantastic, so full of knowledge, and made our dream vacation so much fun and exciting.
All of our accommodations were out of this world, we couldn’t believe the luxury that we had on an African safari, way above our expectations.
We would definitely recommend CampTrek, and if we ever decide to come back they will be the first ones we will contact.
This is for the second portion of our Safari adventure.
For our Serengeti, and Ngorogoro Crator tour,
Our guide was awesome full of knowledge, and we really enjoyed the quizzes.
The accommodations were incredible, we felt like royalty, it’s so awesome to have Elephants right outside your room within a few feet.
If I could give our guide, and the CampTrek Safari company a higher rating , it would definitely be 10 out of 10.
Thank you for the unforgettable experience.

An Unforgettable Safari With an Exceptional Guide
We had an amazing 5-day safari through Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations.
Everything was well organized from start to finish, but what really made the trip special was our guide. He was absolutely outstanding — professional, friendly, patient and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the areas we visited. He genuinely cared about giving us the best possible experience rather than simply following an itinerary.
During the game drives, he always seemed to know where to go and made a real effort to help us see as much wildlife as possible. He explained the animals, their behavior and the surroundings in a way that made the safari much more interesting. He was also a very good driver, which matters a lot when you’re spending several days and many hours on the road.
What impressed me most was his attitude throughout the entire trip. He was always positive, accommodating and willing to go the extra mile for us. We never felt rushed, and he made the five days feel like an adventure with a friend rather than just a guided tour.
Masai Mara was incredible, and Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru each brought something different to the experience. Overall, the trip was excellent value and created memories I will keep for a long time.
I would absolutely recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, and especially our guide. If I return to Kenya for another safari, I would genuinely want to travel with him again. 10/10 experience.

Perfect 7 day safari with a wonderful company
I was lucky enough to experience the Serengeti on an all expenses paid 5 star work trip back in 2024. This inspired me to take my family.
But when we started lookng at all the options and budgets it all became quite daunting. Then we found Making Memories!
As soon as we spoke to Ally it all started to become so easy and friendly. We quickly felt that we could trust him and his advice. He tailored the schedule and the budget to our needs perfectly.
We arrived and stayed at his lodge Roots & River in Arusha where we received a very warm, fun and friendly welcome from our guide Josef and chef Mr Delicious!
The lodge is lovely quiet place to relax before and after the epic safari adventure.
And the food prepared by Mr Delicious is super tasty!
We spent 7 days exploring all the national parks in the area. The best was 3 days in the Serengeti! 7 days in the 4x4 with our excellent guide and companion Josef. His experience, kindness and knowledge made this trip even more magical. And we had many laughs with him too. All the time feeling very safe and welcome.
Another good point when deaking directly with a local company is the price is much more competitive.
Making Memories in Africa are a truly professional, kind and warm hearted team who are fully comitted to making your stay in Tanzania a wonderful experience.
We are already making plans to visit again.
Asante sana!! Keep up the good work guys. X

Exceptional guide, seamless planning, and once-in-a-lifetime Serengeti wildlife encounters
Akondo Adventures exceeded every expectation for our Tanzania safari. Communication was excellent from the start — quick replies to every message, and a WhatsApp video call with Philip before booking, who organised our whole trip. He was fantastic to deal with, patient with all our questions, and put together an itinerary that delivered everything we hoped for. That early conversation gave us real confidence going in, and it was fully justified.
Our guide, Richard, made the whole trip. With 8 years of training as a safari guide, his knowledge was extraordinary — he could tell us the behaviour, distinguishing features, and fascinating stories behind almost every animal we saw, from hyenas and giraffes to secretary birds and lions. His respect and love for nature was obvious in everything he did. His eyesight was remarkable too — spotting animals we couldn’t even find with binoculars. He knew exactly where and when to position the vehicle, which meant we didn’t just tick off the Big Five — we saw cheetahs and lion cubs up close, a lion chasing buffalo, and he made sure we witnessed the wildebeest river crossing, which was truly out of this world. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, washed daily.
Richard also introduced us to the Maasai way of life, which was an unbelievably amazing experience. We visited a Maasai village, wore their traditional costumes, joined in their welcome dancing, and saw inside their mud huts to understand how they actually live. It was a real highlight and gave us a whole different perspective on the trip.
It even started before the trip properly began: on arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, the immigration officer recognised Akondo Adventures by name and welcomed us warmly to Tanzania.
Every park delivered something special. At Tarangire, a leopard walked right past our vehicle and we watched giraffes fighting. Ngorongoro Crater gave us rhinos, flamingos, lions and huge concentrations of wildlife in one place. Serengeti National Park brought more cheetahs, lions with cubs, elephants, zebras and gazelles against classic acacia backdrops, while Northern Serengeti delivered the spectacular river crossing. We also took a hot air balloon ride with an experienced Spanish pilot, Abraham, giving us stunning views over the Mara River and savanna.
The accommodation was fabulous throughout — staff were incredibly helpful and the food was tasty everywhere we stayed. An added thrill was that animals came right up to the tents at night; hyenas even visited at midnight, which was surprising at first, but they’re naturally wary of people, so it was actually exciting to be that close to them. Clean water and toilets were never an issue either, even deep in the parks.
Huge thanks to Richard for making it unforgettable and to Philip for organising such a seamless trip. Outstanding value, reliability and expertise — highly recommended.

Safari - Uganda Sep/2026
Great experience with Dav Safari and would definitely recommend them to anyone planning to come to Uganda.
Throughout the trip, I had the opportunity to see an incredible variety of wildlife and experience some unforgettable moments. Uganda is a beautiful country, and I was also impressed by how welcoming and friendly the people were everywhere I went.
A special thanks to my guide, Goodwin, who was extremely attentive, careful, and helpful throughout the entire journey.
Overall, it was a trip very well organized
