Kale Voyage — best overall value for a Kenya‑Tanzania safari
Communication was excellent. Even with a five‑hour time difference, replies were prompt. They answered every detailed question thoroughly, never made empty promises, and delivered exactly what they had committed to.
Our guide was a perfect match: incredibly patient, happy to chase the animals we hoped to see, and we spotted almost everything on our wishlist. He also had a great sense of humour, which lightened the long, tiring game‑drive days.
The meals and accommodation were well‑organised too — we had proper hot, freshly‑cooked food throughout, and the tented lodges were comfortable and full of character.
After comparing several other operators, I feel Kale Voyage offers outstanding value for money. Highly recommended.

They made us feel like family and showed us the very best of Tanzania
We had an amazing experience with Kiota Adventures & Safaris. The safari vehicle was comfortable and well maintained, and the pop-up roof was perfect for photos. Visiting the Maasai village was a special, eye opening experience we'll always remember. Everything ran on time, and every detail was taken care of, so all we had to do was relax and enjoy. For the quality of the service and the experiences we had, it was great value for money

Choose Chez
Absolutely stunning experience with lots of life moments. Highly recommended! Our guide Chez is incredible, I have absolutely no idea how he managed to have that GPS in his brain which allowed him to find his way in a place like Serengeti where there is nothing but dust and trees. He was also really nice not to get too close to the animals, which I really appreciate as I don’t want to disturb them. I was a bit scared when we first arrived at the campsite, panicking slightly over how to go to toilet at night but Chez introduced me to a staff and dragged my tent next to theirs so I could get help really close and any time. The only downside is the slow response at the booking stage, and the fact that they regrouped us on the last day when I was already used to our vehicle and everything, that was a bit of a chaos, but other than that, everything’s cool. The hotel in Arusha, Safari Homes, is also super welcoming. The food of the safari could also have been better, we ate pretty much the same thing every day and no chance to try real local food

A legitimate, systematic tour operator. They delivered a very smooth service.
Our driver-guide Ezekiel is a professional and passionate person. He knows and cares deeply about wildlife. He can accurately predict the movement of elephant herds and always finds excellent photo angles for us. He drives fast yet safely. He is very attentive — after his long hard working days, he still always checks whether the guests are happy. We were so lucky to have such a professional driver-guide.

It was a good experience! Saw the big five and lots of other animals. Jeremiah made sure we always had a good view of the animals without disturbing them. :)

Absolutely amazing safari!
We had the best 8 day safari for 2 people with Axis. Everything was well arranged with the office and easy to communicate. The lodges and camps were very comfortable, especially at Amboseli and Masai Mara, where we stayed the longest. Our guide was Charles Pilipili and can’t I say enough about what a wonderful guide he was. He has extensive knowledge of all the parks and the best spots for seeing all the animals. He is from the area and answered all our questions and gave us lots of info, and was helpful in every way. It was obvious he really loves what he does, the land, and the animals, which made our time even more enjoyable. Axis seems to have the best vehicles, and ours was well maintained and much better than others you see driving around the parks. I highly recommend Axis and Charles Pilipili for a safari! Thank you!!

An Incredible Safari Experience – Excellent Service, Experienced Guides and Outstanding Value for Mo
We recently travelled to Kenya for a safari, visiting the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, on a 6 day 5 night package, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience!
I was initially a little sceptical about booking with this tour operator because their prices were significantly lower than those of many other operators, and there were fewer reviews available online. I wondered whether choosing a cheaper package might mean compromising on the quality of the experience as well as our safety. However, having completed our safari, I can confidently say that we made an excellent decision!
The entire experience was absolutely wonderful, and the service was comparable to what other travellers received from operators charging more than double what we paid. The tour guides were highly experienced, knowledgeable and professional. Although we missed out on sighting a leopard, we've had several incredibly close sightings of the other members of the Big Five.
Another thing that really impressed us was how smoothly everything was organised. All the arrangements were made efficiently, and everything happened without unnecessary delays. When travelling across different destinations on a safari, good organisation makes such a huge difference, and this operator delivered exceptionally well.
I would also like to give special recognition to Gentrix, who was incredibly helpful from the very beginning. I had quite a few questions before booking, and she patiently answered my queries and provided the information I needed. I never felt pressured to make a decision. Instead, I felt comfortable asking questions and taking the time I needed to decide. She made the whole process pleasant and stress-free, and that gave me confidence in choosing this company.
Overall, we had a fantastic safari experience, with experienced guides, excellent organisation, helpful customer service and genuinely outstanding value for money. We paid considerably less than many other travellers, but we certainly didn't feel that we received a lesser experience.
I would recommend this tour operator to anyone planning a safari in Kenya, especially those who are working with a budget but don't want to compromise on the quality of their experience.
A big thank you to Gentrix and the entire team for helping make our Kenyan safari such a memorable experience. So glad we chose you!

An absolutely incredible safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro, a unforgettable experience :)
We had an absolutely exceptional experience in Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Breathtaking landscapes, magnificent animals, and memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. We also had the privilege of meeting the Maasai people, thanks to Donald and Donath—a cultural discovery that made our adventure even richer and more memorable.
But what truly made this safari so special were our two guides, Donald and Donath. They were incredible from start to finish: kind, attentive, thoughtful, professional, and always focused on our happiness. It is clear that they approach their work with passion and heart.
Beyond just a safari, we formed a genuine bond with them. We came to discover Tanzania, and we are leaving with so much more than just memories.
I recommend booking your safari with them 1000%! If you are coming to Tanzania, you should absolutely choose Donald and Donath—without a moment’s hesitation. We will definitely return to Tanzania, and we already know that we will reach out to them again. We couldn’t have dreamed of better guides!
I sincerely hope this review brings them the visibility they deserve, as such wonderful people truly merit recognition.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Donald and Donath, for this unforgettable adventure. You were more than just our guides; you have become a part of our most cherished memories. Asante sana!

Access to Amazing Africa
This is the second time I have used Safari 365. The first was for a trip to South Africa in 2018 (fantastic trip) and this summer to the Masai Mara, another wonderful experience.
