Great experience in Maasai Mara
I won’t talk about the wildlife experience in Maasai Mara, which needs no introduction: the desire to see animals—encountered literally just a few steps away and in great numbers—is fully rewarded after only a few hours. Here I want to talk about the team at Axis Safari in Nairobi.
From the very first contact and booking from Italy, I immediately sense their professionalism and availability; Tabitha helped me with administrative matters and was very kind in organizing my stay in Nairobi both immediately before and after the tour. In Nairobi, Maureen was extremely kind and patient in accompanying me from the hotel to their office. Kelvin was our guide in the park, leading us with friendliness, teaching us zoological facts, and showing us practically everything that could be seen.
I have traveled enough to know that agencies with this level of professionalism are rare to find around the world. Unfortunately had a bad experience with another company, while I am confident that Axis Safari is the best one, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a great safari experience in the Maasai Mara.
Excellent
Genes Adventures ensured I did my Kilimanjaro Summit effortlessly. It was an organised adventure, and even my small inconveniences were attended i.e. as luck would have it I forgot my shoes and they ensured I had some for my summit. Great guides on the trail, very informative but also cheery along the way and to rhe Summit, thank you to Goddie and Hemedi. Even the potters, zero damage to my items during transport and the cooks provided is with nutritious meals during our stay up the mountain. I wholeheartedly recommend the Genes Adventures

A Real-Life NatGeo Experience in the Serengeti
John was an exceptional guide for our 4 days in Serengeti National Park. We did multiple game drives, and like everyone else, we hoped to witness all of the Big Five—and John was more than eager to make that happen. His knowledge of the park was outstanding. He knew the best spots and constantly coordinated with other guides to ensure we reached locations where the action was happening live.
The entire experience felt like a real-life NatGeo episode—raw, powerful, and deeply humbling. Being so close to the wilderness truly reminded me of the hierarchy of the food chain and left a lasting impact on me.
John was also incredibly thoughtful and attentive. He made sure I had vegetarian food everywhere we stayed, took some amazing photos for us, and ensured we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey. I will definitely visit again, next time with my kids, and I know without a doubt that I can trust John to plan everything perfectly with great safety measures. Highly recommended!

An untapped delight
We can not recommend Uganda and Kajie Safari’s enough. The planning process was simple and pricing was very modest. The accommodation, tour guide, vehicle, food and animal encounters all surpassed our expectations.
We squeezed a lot into our 7 days, but the travel and activities were all incredible.
We hope to return to Uganda one day and see the sites that we weren’t able to cram into this trip.

Tanzania turned out to be very green and vibrant. The people are very kind and welcoming, with a very distinctive culture.

Personable, knowledgable, caring and fun!
I have done 2 tours with James as my guide. I enjoyed every second with him, as he shared his knowledge about the wildlife in Uganda. I have recommended so many people to him and I cant wait to go on another safari with his company again.
Excellent!
I have been on a number of safari's over the years in Kenya/Uganda and this one was up there with the best. Our group felt very well looked after and we really enjoyed the excursions. Everything was handled with ease and professionalism from the transport, to accommodation. Highly recommend!

Book with Alex for an amazing trip of a lifetime
From the 1st conversation I had with Alex, she listened carefully to what we wanted to do, made good suggestions and tweaked the itinerary several times to accommodate changing numbers in our group and our budget.
Alex was available throughout the trip to help. Fortunately we only needed to contact her once when we came close to missing our connection to Kigali.
The trip was very well organised, and all the local logistics worked seamlessly.
All her recommendations were valuable & appreciated:
• The itinerary and length of time in each place
• Staying in the parks to maximise our experiences
• Getting quality guides particularly in Tanzania
Our guide in Rwanda, Nuuru was helpful, courteous and very knowledgeable about his country. Always on time to meet us with a ready smile on his face. He went over and above- took us to airport early in morning to get our delayed luggage, ensured that we were assigned an easy gorilla trek and a friendly gorilla family so that everyone in our group was able to see and enjoy their time with the gorillas.
In Tanzania we were so lucky to have Gabriel Mushi from Nomad Tanzania as our guide for the safari through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks and conservation areas. Gabriel is a world class guide, extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. He is also a very safe driver (an important consideration when you see some of the other driving).
We had the time and, Gabriel showed us the value of being patient, to watch animal behaviours and be rewarded with some amazing animal experiences every day. Gabriel encouraged us to start early to experience areas with fewer people and more animal activity. Without him. there were so many things we wouldn’t have seen or experienced. He was always early, immaculately dressed and has a wicked sense of humour.
When one of our group required medical attention, Gabriel came early in the morning, cleaned and dressed the wound, drove us to a clinic and ensured the person got the necessary medical help. Fortunately, it was not serious. When we parted, it was like saying goodbye to a good friend.
We went for 2 weeks in September 2025.
If you would like to have an amazing trip to see the gorillas in Rwanda and a Tanzanian safari, we highly recommend Alex.

Excellent tour operator that made our safari unforgettable.
Thank You, Allday in Africa.
From the first inquiry to the final goodbye, the Allday in Africa team delivered a level of professionalism and care that exceeded every expectation. Our journey through Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Mto wa Mbu was perfectly organized - seamless logistics, beautiful accommodations, and experiences that touched our hearts. Traveling with friends made it special, but Allday in Africa made it unique.
But what truly elevated this experience was Augustino our guide, who had sharp eyes, and was a storyteller, protector, and friend. His deep knowledge, warm heart, and instinctive understanding of nature turned every moment into something unforgettable. Augustino didn’t just guide us through Tanzania, he brought it to life.
To tell a few sightings, we witnessed majestic elephants in Tarangire, lions lounging in Ngorongoro, playful zebras, giraffes, and even a glimpse of the rare black rhino. Each day brought a new surprise guided by Augustino and other professionals who knew exactly where to look and how to make every moment count.
The trip was more than a safari. It was a deep connection with nature, culture, and friendship. Thank you, Allday in Africa, for turning our dream into an unforgettable memory.
Highly recommended. Asante sana!

An African trip that brought me surprises
Among numerous travel agencies, we chose Big Cats. It was a very right decision. We have contacted several travel agencies. They responded very quickly, and modified the itinerary as we requested. And their prices are relatively reasonable. Before departure, they confirmed all the reservations with us, and explained in detail the travel arrangements. They also arranged an experienced tour guide for us. For a ten-day trip, we got along very well with Eliasi. We learned a lot from him about wild animals. This trip is really unforgettable.
