Memorable Kenya Safaris with Excellent Guide but Room Coordination Needs Improvement
We had a wonderful safari experience with Axis Africa Expeditions & Safaris. The communication during booking was smooth and their driver-guide, Livingston, was simply outstanding—very knowledgeable about wildlife and birds, and made our game drives in Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli truly memorable. The value for money and service during the safari were excellent.
However, we faced an issue with the hotel room in Amboseli. Despite confirming a Mt. Kilimanjaro view room in advance, we were initially given a different room and had to put in extra effort to get what was promised. After a long 8–9 hour road journey, this was quite inconvenient.
Overall, the safari itself was exceptional and I would highly recommend Livingston and Axis Africa for game drives, but better coordination on hotel arrangements would make the experience completely hassle-free.

One of the best in the business. Professional and knowledgeable.
Singe Tours and Travel is one of the best in the business. From the planning stage to in-country excursions, they were reliable and trustworthy. My students left with pleasant memories of magical Kenya. I highly recommend them for study abroad experience in Kenya.

Amazing, knowledgeable and delicious
The six of us (parents and teens) enjoyed every minute of our safari with Wakanda. We chose a 4-day camping safari covering Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide Issa was fantastic. Thanks to him we same the big five and their little ones, truly one of the most exciting experiences one can have. He is is really knowledgeable and quick to spot and locate animals as well as very kind, patient and helpful. In addition, we became fans of our chef Idrissa and his meals. We are happy that we could taste Tanzanian flavours thanks to him! The girls absolutely enjoyed his pancakes and desserts. Very important for me as our group’s main contact with Wakanda was to feel Beatrice’s responsive presence on WhatsApp as we got everything ready. Asante sana to the whole team!

A passionate and professional tour operator who customizes tours for you.
My wife and I returned recently from a safari trip arranged by Safari-online and we both enthusiastically tell our friends that this was the trip of a lifetime. We began planning in 2024 by working with our operator, Ilona Biagio. Ilona met with us twice by remote video calls. She took the time to get to know us and find out exactly what we like and know. She had questions for us and did not try to "sell' us a package before she figured out the perfect customized itinerary. I highly recommend to future customers that you begin your journey by meeting with the tour operator face-to-face. Ilona then put together two options and then considering what she knew about us, she guided us to the best option. One more thing: at some point she learned that 2025 was our 20th wedding anniversary, so at each destination, the camp staff did something special for us. We were truely touched. Thank you, Ilona!
Safari-Online works with Desert and Delta Safari tours. D & D Safari is also a highly professional team that made our experience rich and safe. The accomodations were over the top. The food was amazing. The staff are unforgettable.
Thank you, Safari-online and Desert and Delta

Worth It
Such a beautiful country and people, experience and professional guides. The big five in Ngorongoro and the plains of Serengeti was paradise in front of our eyes. Recommend to family and friends

Ok
The camping safari is pure adventure.
However, there were a few things that didn't go perfectly.
We were reliably picked up from the airport by taxi. The taxi driver told us the safari started at 7:00 a.m. At the hotel, we were told the safari started at 8:00 a.m. The actual start time was 8:30 a.m., but we were misinformed. The safari itinerary was also changed (Lake Manyara on Friday instead of Tuesday), which isn't a problem in principle. However, this needs to be communicated. According to the description, the game drives last about 6-7 hours. In reality, however, they lasted a maximum of 4-5 hours, as we didn't start at the agreed time on a single day.
Some of the campsites were very run down, often with only cold water, and only one of the three showers working.

Destiny Explorers Issa is a Trickster.
We booked a 4- Night Serengeti Safari which included Mid luxury Lodge booking. He confirmed 4- nights in 4 different lodges. He showed us good Lodges when we booked but then he changed the lodges to low catgory & CHEAP lodges rather small with minimal facilities. We really suffered with him. We checked with the 2 of the Lodges (Ikumbi & a Farmhouse) & these were booked only about 3/4 days before our arrival while he collected the Advance payment almost 30- days before our arrival. And both these lodges were small & even had more 50% vacant rooms. Initially he showed Kankari Lodge & Eileen Tree House.
Even the Guide was too slow & I dont know if he had knowledge about Serengeti. He asked to guide him where we wanted to go.
My advice NEVER book a full Safari with Destiny Explorers.

Unforgettable Family Safari with Knowledgeable Guides, Breathtaking Wildlife, and Stunning Views
We had an unforgettable two-day safari experience in Tsavo East and West with Steve and Richard Safaris, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
From the beginning, Steve was extremely professional, punctual, and trustworthy. He shared a wealth of knowledge about the animals and the landscape, telling us many fascinating facts and stories during the game drives. He was always patient and happy to answer all of our questions, no matter how many we asked — which made the experience even more enriching.
Our driver, Simon, was absolutely wonderful. He was incredibly patient, calm, and skilled behind the wheel, even during long hours of driving across diverse terrains. His gentle demeanour and friendly attitude made the journey even more enjoyable, especially for our 5-year-old son.
A real highlight was our night at Ngulia Lodge, where we could watch elephants and buffalo coming to the waterhole straight from our bed. In the early morning, we were greeted by baboons and many other wild animals just outside — a magical and unforgettable moment. With a bit of a luck you can see leopard coming in the evening or spotting a rhino through the scope thanks to the beautiful view over the Rhino Sanctuary - definitely recommend!
We spent two amazing days in their company, exploring the beauty of Kenya’s wildlife and nature. The entire experience was smooth, educational, and full of wonder — a true family adventure to remember.
Thank you, Steve, Simon, and the whole team!

We had amazing tour guide
First of all, thank you for providing excellent service during our trip. We could honestly say, it was one of the best trips we ever took.
We believe we got very lucky with our tour guide named Isaac Long. His personality was exactly what we needed. He was very calm, respectful, quiet (in good way), patient, always on time and accommodating to our needs.
Food was excellent!!!
Service in the restaurants and hotels too!
The only thing that we didn’t care for was Lake Natron. There was nothing to see and extremely hot. Hotel didn’t have A/C or fans, which was disappointing.
I would definitely recommend using this agency and I would request Issac to be your tour guide.
Thank you.

Considerate, professional, knowledgeable, very able and kind.
It was a pleasure and fun to spend time with our guide Jackson. As stated above he was very considerate, professional, knowledgeable and looked after us extremely well. We saw lots of wildlife close-up without mad races here and there and sensitively. We couldn't have asked for or expected more, fantastic.
