Laxatrails is a 100% safe, considerate and professional safari team!
Since me and my friends arrived in Nairobi where Laxatrails warmly and friendly welcomed us, our previous concerns about safari have gradually disappeared. Dennies briefly but specifically introduced our 6-day journey and we had a warm greeting from all team members. It made you feel safe as you clearly know there was a whole team to support your safari in Kenya.
And our two guides, Peter and Wisley are excellent! They are caring, considerate and humourous. Peter, our safari driver and main guide, always try his best to find the best angle or provide different angles for us to observe those gorgerous wildlifes so we can watch them safely and clearly. It is acknowledged that leopards are rarely spotted and we desperately want to see them,but Peter didn't let us down, he did everything he could to make it realize! He has efficient and reliable connections with other safari drivers to get updated info. Also, he is knowledgable about wildlifes, patiently introducing species, habitats, characteristics of different animals for us. Wisley, photographer, our other guide, actually is more like our bodyguard. He would make sure that none of us would get alone and dangerous so we literally feel secure during the whole trip and we could safely experience the local life. Both of them really did care about our physical health and emotion during the whole journey. Besides, they would always be there if we had requests or encountered any problems. For example, we want to try local papayas and they helped us find them in a local stall and bought them in a fair price.
The accomodation was good, beds were clean, the staff were kind. The only deficiency is that hot water and cold water is not stable in some of lodges. It is totally worth changing mini van to safari jeep, because of its larger space, you would feel very comfortable for a long drive.
Luckily, we successfully completed the Big Five challenge in our first safari and totally enjoyed the game drive with reliable Laxatrails. It is an absolutely unforgettable and precious experience in my whole life. Highly recommend!

Guaranteed best safari of your life!
Our safari tour with Shafino was a once in a lifetime experience and will stay with us for a long time. He was the best guide, with the best facts and information on the animals as well as extensive knowledge of the landscape. Shafino made us feel safe while navigating the rough terrain of the national parks. He would always try to get us as close as possible to the wildlife, and was very patient as we watched in awe at the natural beauty. We enjoyed this so much we want to come back already! Definitely will book with Shafino the next time we return.

Very personable and quite knowledgeable
I learned so much about Africa, its people, its nature and its wildlife! It was truly a lifetime experience and I would do it all over again in a minute! Our guide was the best. Hussein is man knowledgeable in the most interesting of details. It was all worth every penny.

Incredible
It was incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We saw numerous families of animals, and our guide gave us information about each one. The service was magnificent, and everything we saw was incredible. 100% recommended. I'd love to repeat the experience.

Best unforgettable safari experience
We had the best safari with Mr. Ombeni from Gosheni! He’s super experienced and knows the parks inside out. Every day he somehow found animals we thought we’d never see — from tiny cheetah cubs to rhinos far in the distance.
He’s fun, friendly, and clearly loves what he does. Thanks to him, our trip was unforgettable.

Unbeatable
The experience with Kihindo was incredible. Everything was easy: hotel pickup, transfer to the train station, and transfer to Mikumi. Communication was very easy and pleasant. Jackson, our safari guide, was incredibly kind to us (thank you for your patience, Jackson). It's definitely an experience I'd love to repeat.

Great transfers
Thomas took us from Hoedspruit to Joburg and was great - arrived promptly to pick us up and we arrived on time. He kindly let me sit at the front because the back row was uncomfortable.
