Great organisation and itinerary
Really great experience from start to finish. Excellent organisation and communication from Joy both when we booked and whilst on our safari. Our driver, Tim, was a great driver and had good knowledge of the animals. He spotted animals in the distance which we hadn’t! We were fortunate to see the Big 5. This has been an incredible holiday and we would really recommend Morning Star to book a safari through.

everything worked perfectly, from the time we were picked up at the hotel to the time we returned. Very friendly staff at the lodge, and an incredibly knowledgeable guide. Fantastic experience.
Mark was. Dry knowledgeable, flexible and helpful.
Do not miss this trip! It is fantastic value for money, combines history and culture and a fantastic opportunity to spend time with the people of Soweto.

Axis safari was uncomplicated, quick, very reliable and super friendly
We had the greatest experience ever, our tourguide Yasin was very experienced and we got the chance to do so many different animals like lions, cheetah and elephants from a very close view but still keeping the respectful distance to not harass the animals and their babies. The nature was breathtaking. We had a very easy and fast communication and booking with axis safari. Everything was covered for a stressless trip from pick up from Nairobi to the booking of the hotel. Communication was very convenient through WhatsApp and phonecalls to answer all our questions and make the booking. We contacted axis safari and could start our trip the ne t day. Also the stuff at the office was super friendly and supportive. We would always book again with axis safaris
John was AWESOME!
John was an absolutely fantastic safari tour operator! He took us through the Masai Mara and made the entire experience unforgettable. Thanks to his sharp eyes and deep knowledge of the park, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big 5 — plus so many other amazing animals. John was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made us feel safe, comfortable, and totally immersed in the adventure. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

Amazing two day safari - cannot recommend highly enough
We chose Serengeti Savannah Adventures because they planned an exciting itinerary with great accommodation and helpful communication from the start. Erick was always happy to answer the smallest question and we felt that we had a really personal service.
Our guide, Gilbert, met us at the airport and was immediately helpful, flexible and full of interesting information about the animals and places we saw. The vehicle was extremely comfortable, with soft drinks and water on tap, and we were wowed by the range of wildlife we saw. A highlight has to be the lionesses and cubs who walked only a metre or so away from us.
Gilbert gave us great advice about how to make the most of our time on safari. We particularly appreciated how he prioritised looking for the animals we wanted to see, and his strategies meant that we saw lots more than we were expecting. It was easy chatting to Gilbert, and we benefited hugely from his expertise.
The food provided on the trip was delicious, and we loved Escarpment Luxury Lodge, where the staff were welcoming and the facilities delightful. We would recommend staying more than one night if you possibly can!
Overall this was an unforgettable introduction to safari for me, and I would strongly recommend Serengeti Savannah Adventures for your personalised tour. Make sure you ask for Gilbert as your guide - he really made the experience amazing for us.

An unforgettable tour, where almost everything worked great
The value was excellent, however we unfortunately missed out on one safari tour, as our flights were at different locations than written in the plan - this was not considered in the scheduling. We had decent communication via WhatsApp and almost everything was as promised. Much was organized at the places we stayed (Paul Kruger Gate and Sabi Sands), so we did not interact much with Cape Town Tours during our trip. The trip itself was incredible and a once-in-a-life-time - we highly recommend visiting both Krüger National Park and Sabi Sands in one trip. Given the value for money and how incredible the safari was, we would book the tour again.

An Unforgettable Safari – Ask for Gilbert!
We had the most incredible 2-day safari, made truly unforgettable by our guide, Gilbert. From the moment he collected us at Arusha Airport, we knew we were in the best hands. Our first day took us through Tarangire National Park, where Gilbert’s expertise and sharp eye meant we saw animals we would never have spotted ourselves—elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, rhino, and so much more.
After an epic day, Gilbert drove us to Escarpment Luxury Lodge. The name couldn’t be more fitting, every detail was impeccable. The staff were warm and relaxed, the service seamless, and the rooms both luxurious and comfortable. Waking up to those breathtaking views was a highlight in itself.
Day two began with a 5:30am start into the Ngorongoro Crater, and the experience was simply magical. Gilbert once again showed not only his deep knowledge and skill at finding the best vantage points but also his kindness and patience—always willing to stop, explain, or help others along the way. His professionalism and genuine care made the entire trip stress-free and so enjoyable. The safari vehicle itself was perfectly equipped, with water and soft drinks always available.
For us, Gilbert made this safari extraordinary. If you’re booking with this operator, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you ask for Gilbert, his experience, warmth, and professionalism set him apart.

Wakanda Forever!
Our 4 day fly in fly out safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and full of joy.
We saw 4 of the big 5 in the first few hours of arriving in the Serengeti!! And all 5 by the end of the 3rd day! (The rhinos were hiding from us it seemed🤪).
Our guide Stanley was absolutely impeccable — his humour, patience, and professionalism, made every moment special. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and always having fun.
Stanley’s knowledge of the Serengeti was incredible — you can tell he’s not only passionate but also highly educated and trained in what he does. The depth of what he knew about every animal, bird, and even the plants was so impressive and made every day feel like a fascinating learning experience.
It was evident that his impressive knowledge stems from both formal training and years of dedicated experience within the Serengeti. His ability to share complex information in such an engaging, understandable way made the whole experience even more memorable.
The company itself was also outstanding. Serengeti Wakanda Tours were incredibly accommodating and supportive, even when we had a little mishap along the way - we left our medication in the mini fridge in the previous hotel and they had it flown out to the Serengeti to us on the next flight! Their organisation and care made us feel completely looked after throughout the trip.
I would highly recommend booking through wakanda - the booking process was seamless and Beatrice was brilliant with any changes we needed! Beatrice was also contactable throughout the whole booking process AND during the trip via WhatsApp which made you feel even more supported.
Make sure you spend a day in the Ngorongoro crater as well as the Serengeti.
I would also be so jealous of anyone who gets Stanley as their guide in the future! Truly a legend!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you Stanley, Beatrice and the whole team for making our time in the Serengeti a truly magical experience! 🌿🐘🦁

A bucket list experience!
Overall great communication with the tour guides. Easy and quick to answer any questions when we reached out and they followed up during the tour and we felt really looked after. The driver were very helpful if we needed anything, Assad and Luka more than helped us with our wishes.
What a trip! We did a shared group and got paired up with two other couples in the same age group, which was a bonus! We all clicked well and enjoyed this trip with lots of memories stored 🫶🏼
We've been lucky enough to see even the elusive Cheetahs, leopard and black rhinos - an absolute pleasure! And of course alot of other animals. The second day we drove in to Serengeti- a bucket-list item checked! We saw the vast plains and pretty quickly some lions basking in the sun. The elusive Leopard that was eating his prey up in a tree was the highlight of this day! Second day gave us three male lions sunbathing and chilling and an big elephant roaming the plains. Ngorongoro Crater gave us 4 of the big 5 in the first hour, even baby lion cubs that wandered right beside the car! This was everything and more for a dream come true 🫶🏼🩷🦁
Thanks to Luka and Assad our drivers, who gave us an amazing journey with lots of knowledge and happy times!
