Sunworld Safaris has got to be Africa's best safari company.
With a plethora of safari companies, I wanted the best fit for me. I discovered Sunworld Safaris through Ken Conger, world renown wildlife photographer with whom I had worked on magazine articles.
From the planning stage, safari, and return home, I was overjoyed with Sunworld Safaris. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, these outstanding men and women are highly professional, intelligent. ethical, friendly, and caring. Carolyn Ndungu, my safari planner, has excellent communication skills and a warm personality. My amicable airport representative Baraka Genya made sure I was safely transported where I needed to be. Francis Wathika, my safari driver/guide, was knowledgeable, humorous, and observant.
As a nature travel writer and photographer, I have explored seven (7) continents. By far, my solo adventure with Sunworld Safaris is at the top of my list. As a wildlife biologist, I saw, appreciated, and photographed stunning wildlife and habitats in southern Kenya and Tanzania. I would give them 10 stars!

A wish comes true
Our plan was to book a three-day safari starting from Zanzibar. We had contacted three providers before leaving home. Davis from Safaribookings engaged with us in a friendly and genuine manner via WhatsApp He was available day and night and ready to answer any questions. We booked
a tour covering Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater,
and Lake Manyara-three different parks with three distinct types of vegetation. Our guide took us to see all kinds of animals; some walked right past our comfortable jeep, while at other times we watched animals gathering at watering holes. We received interesting information about the country, the people, and the wildlife. He was perfekt.
The entire tour was perfectly organized, and our expectations were exceeded in every respect.
We stayed at the Hhando Coffee Lodge and felt very comfortable there. While enjoying an after- tour beer-to which we had naturally invited our guide--we could watch elephants from the terrace. The staff were incrediblv attentive. and the food was excellent and homemade. We also picked up our picnic lunchboxes there; they were always delicious. On a personal note: please don't throw food in the trash. Children wave from the roadside and would be very happy to take any leftovers off your hands The Lodge is situated at an altitude of over 1,500 meters, so don't forget to bring a Sweater.
Many thanks to everyone
involved in making this incredible experience possible for us. We wish you all the best.

Rogers was our guardian angle
We booked a massai mara group tour through Axis Africa Safaris for 4 days 3 nights. We connected with Winnie Rose (tour operator), she guided us throughout and shared with us the packages they have. They gave us 2 pair of T-shirts each (no extra charges) because our luggage was delayed by the airline. This helped us manage for few days.
Our guide was Roger throughout our Safari. He is an amazing human being. He made sure that the Safari van is clean and there is plenty of drinking water for all of us. He was always on time and well prepared for the day. He made sure we see all the animals in the jungle. He shared detailed knowledge about animals - some fun facts, their behaviour, species, how they live, etc. He also made sure during the trip that we are safe and gave us enough time to watch the animals we spot. He was our guardian angel.
Our overall experience exceeded beyond expectations, it was only possible because we chose Axis Africa Safaris. Our accommodations, meals, and entry tickets to the park were all taken care of which made it hassle free for us. We truly enjoyed our trip and happy that we chose Axis.

Magic
For our very first safari, we decided to put our trust in Axis Africa Safaris, and it was the best decision we could have made!
We were taken care of from the very first day to the very last, which allowed us to fully enjoy our safari without having to worry about a single thing.
But the most important part of a safari is the guide! And what can I say about our guide, Marcos? He is a truly kind-hearted man, always smiling, humble, and incredibly warm and caring! He won our hearts from day one, and we came to consider him a member of our little “safari family.”
Marcos is someone who truly lives for his job and is incredibly passionate about what he does. Thanks to him, we learned so much about nature and wildlife.
So, here’s our advice: if you want to experience one of the best adventures of your life, one that you will never forget, there is only one choice!
One safari company → Axis Africa Safaris
One guide → Marcos!!
Thank you for this wonderful, extraordinary, and unforgettable experience!

Very good
We had a very good experience with Rawson Touring. The drivers were very personable and knowledgeable. We booked the trip on short notice and were still able to do most everything we wanted to do. The safaris were spectacular.

An incredible experience
It has been an experience we will never forget. Visiting Nyerere, Mikumi, and Ruaha National Parks with Maarufu made it even more incredible; he was more than just a guide. From day one, we felt incredibly well looked after by the entire Kihindo team. The number of animals we were able to see up close was amazing—a dream come true.

The perfect tour operator for a safari in Tanzania.
We chose this tour operator for a safari in southern Tanzania, visiting Nyerere, Ruaha, and Mikumi parks. It was a great decision—an incredible experience. Communication with the agency was excellent throughout, and our guide, Maarufu, was amazing. I would do it again without hesitation.

Super-personal, responsive and professional organisation
The initial contacts with David completely differentiated Horizon from the other operators we approached. He was friendly, extremely responsive and very quickly tailored an itinerary that met every one of our requirements. Each hotel selection was well thought out, each offering different experiences, good quality food and accommodation and friendly. He was also very flexible to change, as our requirements flexed a little! David stayed in touch throughout the tour; checking that we were happy with each element of the schedule.
Our driver/guide, Tony, was extremely knowledgable - of not only the animals, but also the best routes and places to find them. He was very professional throughout, liaising with hotels on early breakfast arrangements and any other requirements, and driving safely and considerately. He kept to the schedule - always ready at the arranged time and place, with chilled water in the safari vehicle - a well-maintained 4x4 Landcruiser. He was also excellent company, with lots of local information, his quizzes and sense of humour.
We would highly recommend both Horizon Wanderlust and our drive/guide Tony.
