Safari experience done right
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Extraordinary Masai Mara Safari – Perfectly Curated by Africa Barefoot Safaris
Our 4-day safari at Basecamp Masai Mara was nothing short of spectacular, and the entire experience was seamlessly curated by Prajwal, founder of Africa Barefoot Safaris. From the very first enquiry to the moment we were dropped back at Nairobi airport, every aspect of our journey was executed with warmth, precision, and genuine personal care.
During the pre-trip planning stage, Prajwal was incredibly responsive and detailed in her communication. Every query—whether about logistics, camp facilities, game drives, or travel formalities—was answered patiently and promptly. It gave us immense confidence even before we landed in Kenya that we were in capable hands.
We were also celebrating our wedding anniversary during the safari, and what happened mid-tour was something straight out of a dream. Without revealing too much in advance, Prajwal and our incredible guide Joseph surprised us with a private sundowner with champagne in the middle of the jungle, set beautifully against the foothills as the African sun dipped below the horizon. It was intimate, romantic, and unforgettable. Later at Basecamp, they arranged a beautiful anniversary cake along with a traditional Masai tribal dance, which was deeply cultural and incredibly moving. It is rare to see such thoughtful personal touches woven so naturally into a safari experience.
Our guide Joseph truly deserves special mention. He wasn’t just a guide—he was a storyteller, wildlife expert, protector, and friend throughout the journey. From our airport pickup in Nairobi to our drop-off, he ensured we were always comfortable and safe. His knowledge of animal behaviour and tracking is simply outstanding. Because of his expertise and relentless effort, we were fortunate to witness the complete Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—along with giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas, zebras, wildebeest, serval cats, jackals and countless bird species.
What made the experience even more special was that Joseph took us through different regions of the Masai Mara every single day, ensuring varied landscapes, fresh sightings, and unique experiences during each game drive. No two drives felt repetitive—each day felt like a brand-new adventure.
Our stay at Basecamp Masai Mara was equally exceptional—eco-luxury at its finest, nestled right inside nature with stunning views, comfort, warm hospitality, and the sounds of the wild all around us at night - though food could have been better. Waking up to sunrise game drives and returning to the peaceful energy of the camp was pure magic.
What sets Africa Barefoot Safaris apart is not just their ability to organise a trip—it’s the personal involvement of Prajwal, the passion of guides like Joseph, and the heart with which they operate. This wasn’t a commercial tour—it felt like traveling with people who genuinely care about creating memories for you.
This safari will remain one of the most treasured experiences of our lives. If you are considering Masai Mara, do not look anywhere else—Africa Barefoot Safaris is hands-down the best choice.
Five stars are simply not enough. Highly recommended beyond words. 🌍🦁🥂

Well organised, great quality, still valuable company
We went with Axis to a 6 day Masaii Mara-Naivasha-Nakuru-Amboseli trip and it was amazing. Everything was well organised, on time, exactly as described in the offer. Accommodations were also great and better than we expected even choosing the budget ones. I think their service is GREAT for the value and definitely would choose them again. The whole trip was fantastic, we couldn’t ask for a better guide than Raymond, who is very experienced and knows the parks and animals soooo well. Extra thanks for Rita for the communication and organisation which was always fast and promt. One of my best experience even after 5 years of traveling. Thank you!

Thomas kept us on time and engaged in the experience.
It was a pleasure to experience South Africa with MoAfrika Tours in both Johannesburg and Cape Town. Both guides were great! Thomas, our guide in Johannesburg, was very involved in our experience which made our time more memorable. MoAfrika Tours did a great job of keeping us on schedule.

amazing experience
We booked a 14-day trip to Uganda with Prime Safari, a company recommended to us by friends, and it turned out to be an absolutely wonderful experience! Planning the trip with Cate was easy and stress-free — she was always available, attentive, and made sure all our wishes were taken into account.
Our local guide, Jerome, was fantastic. He was extremely helpful, polite, knowledgeable, and truly the best driver we could have asked for. We felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout the entire journey.
All the accommodations were excellent. We would absolutely travel with Prime Safari again anytime!

An Unforgettable Victoria Falls Experience Thanks to Thuba
Our family’s visit to Victoria Falls was nothing short of magical, and the credit goes entirely to our incredible guide, Thuba. From the very beginning, Thuba showed a level of professionalism, warmth, and expertise that elevated our entire experience.
Thuba’s knowledge of the Falls—the history, geology, wildlife, and hidden gems—was truly impressive. He didn’t just guide us; he told the story of Victoria Falls in a way that brought the place to life for my family and I. Every question we had was met with enthusiasm and detailed insight, and he always seemed to know the perfect spots for photos, views, and quiet moments away from the crowds.
What truly stood out, though, was Thuba’s patience and genuine care. He made sure my whole family felt safe, comfortable, and fully immersed in the experience. He took his time with us, answering their curious questions and keeping us engaged with fun facts and memorable moments. His kindness and calm energy made the tour feel relaxed, enjoyable, and perfectly paced.
Thuba went above and beyond throughout the entire trip—from helping us navigate the area to sharing local culture and stories that made us appreciate Victoria Falls even more. By the end of the day, it felt like we were exploring with a trusted friend rather than just a guide.
If you are visiting Victoria Falls, I cannot recommend Thuba highly enough. His passion for his work, his deep knowledge, and his warm personality turned our visit into an unforgettable family experience we will cherish forever.
