Johnny super star
want to leave a sincere five-star review for our safari guide, who made our entire Kenya trip absolutely unforgettable and far beyond our expectations.
We booked a multi-day wildlife tour covering Hell’s Gate, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Park, and we were worried we would only spot large common animals like elephants and zebras without seeing unique small creatures. But our guide’s professional wildlife knowledge and sharp eyes completely surprised us. He is extremely familiar with every corner of each park, knowing exactly where different birds, reptiles and tiny wild mammals prefer to rest and feed. He quickly spotted giant kingfishers, African spoonbills, grey herons and various rare raptors hidden among reeds and wires that we would have easily missed on our own. He also patiently pointed out small antelopes, baboons and other lesser-seen creatures, stopping the car quietly to avoid scaring the wildlife away every time we found a subject to photograph.
Besides outstanding animal-spotting skills, he is incredibly thoughtful and friendly. He took time to introduce detailed background knowledge about the East African Rift Valley, volcanic landforms, animal living habits and local Masai culture, answering all our curious questions with great patience. He adjusted our driving schedule flexibly according to light conditions to help us capture perfect photos of Mount Kilimanjaro and flocks of water birds. He always reminded us of safety tips and provided warm help when we needed water or adjusted our shooting equipment.
Without this attentive, experienced guide, we would have missed most of the delicate, lovely small wildlife that became the highlight of our journey. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Kenya for safari; he will bring you a rich, fulfilling wildlife experience you will cherish forever. Johnny is the best

Perfect and great time in Mikumi (Well organized!)
With "Widman Safari" we planned and booked a two day trip in the Mikumi Nationalpark. We decided to use the SGR train from Daressalam and a two days game drive in the Nationalpark. We also decided to sleep in the Nationalpark in a silent environment to hear the noises of the animals at night. During our booking process, I still was in contact with the team via WhatsApp and we were able to adjust our special needs for the trip. Everything was perfectly organized and we had the BEST Guide of the world. We saw a lot, we had a great time and I will remind me to these both days in the future of my life.
Thank you for everything and we will wish all the best! Annika and Daniel

A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
For the second week of July 2026 (followed by an extra week of beach vacation in Zanzibar), we had booked a private safari tour through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater National Parks with TANZANIA ROADSIDE EXPEDITIONS. Their CEO, Paul Justine, carefully planned and organized everything down to the last detail. We were assigned Anocell as our driver and guide, accompanied by his assistant and highly capable trainee, Alphonse. Their expertise regarding the landscapes and wildlife was truly profound. But what impressed us most of all was Anocell’s ability - thanks to his intuition and years of experience - to position his vehicle as close as possible to the wild animals, including the BIG FIVE. Of course, the car windows were closed for safety reasons; otherwise we could have almost touched them on many occasions. The absolute highlight among countless others was the zebra hunt by two lionesses that started right next to our Land Cruiser.
But on a personal level, too, this was a wonderful experience. Anocell and Alphonse were so friendly, helpful and supportive in every way. We met as strangers on the first day and said goodbye as friends on the last day. Thank you for everything !
If you’re ever planning to have such a unique experience we can highly recommend TANZANIA ROADSIDE EXPEDITIONS. Ask for Anocell or Alphonse as Guide / Driver !

Beyond our expectations !
We chose Meektrails for a 6-days tailor-made private safari (Masai Mara–Nakuru–Naivasha) for our family of five.
We’re all absolutely delighted we chose this agency, which enabled us to enjoy a fabulous week. I’d recommend them 200% !!!
- Before the trip: my contact person, Peris, was incredibly responsive, patient with my endless emails, and really helped me in the fine-tuning of our itinerary, and even more in the research and selection of lodges fitting what we were looking for…while staying in our budget. Thank you for everything, Peris!
- The welcome from the whole team at the airport was really great and immediately put a smile on the whole family’s faces!
- The safari was organised flawlessly. The car (a Toyota LandCruiser) was reliable, very spacious and comfortable.
- Our driver-guide, Georges, was also brilliant! He was punctual, attentive and did all the efforts to ensure our days were packed from park opening to closing time, particularly in the Masai Mara! We saw a huge number of animals, particularly big cats, far exceeding our expectations. Georges has a keen eye for spotting them and always manages to position the car in just the right spot for photos (especially when there are other cars at the same spot). He also provides excellent explanations.
- The accommodation (Mtito Camp, Nakuru Sopa Lodge and Naivasha Sopa Resort) exceeded our expectations.
- When I consider the services provided and the accommodation we were given, I think the value for money is absolutely unbeatable.
All five of us were delighted with the week and really pleased with our choice of agency!

Nice safari
It’s my first safari and I felt happy with this company. I read many reviews and felt happy that it’s a good decision. I saw many animals and the guide, Kelvin Mimi, helped a lot and know many things. I was in Masai Mara, Nakuru and Ambosili. They were all very impressive.

Nice experience
It's better than I expected. I read a lot of reviews of this safari company. It was a good decision. I spent 6 days for safari and saw a lot of things. A guide, Kelvin Mimi, knew many things for all parks.

The safari was incredible; it lasted 6 days, including 2 days in the Masai Mara, 1 day at Lake Nakuru, and 3 days in Amboseli.
It was a fantastic experience. Our guide was Kelvin Mimi, and I can honestly say he's the best safari guide around. My girlfriend and I compared different agencies, and Axis Safari is one of the best on the market. Kelvin knows the parks like the back of his hand, he drives incredibly well, and he's very attentive to his guests. I'm so happy with our experience with Axis and our guide!

Excellent service and driver. Highly recommended
We were dreaming to do a safari with my wife in Kenya, and had the opportunity this year.
- about the agency: Payment by visa possible thought a secured link - and they are well referenced. Very easy communication (they answer thru WhatsApp), I asked them document for the ETA, they shared them properly.
- about the tour itself: as we were in Diani, Tsavo is the easiest parc to access. We saw a lot of animals - more than what we would have expected. The hotel is impressive, in the middle of the parc - we could see the animals from our dîner/breakfast area, and also from our room!
- about the driver, Abdallah: Very nice and professional. He tried to find the best spot to see the animals, and was indicating us where they were (you need sometimes good view!), and telling us a lot of stories about their life, but also about the parcs, and Kenya in general - very knowledgeable. What was appreciated was his flexibility - when we needed a break, or more time for an activity - but also his respect of given timing (he was always coming a little bit ahead of schedule, so we didn't have to wait for him). I highly recommend this agency, and our driver Abdallah.

Unforgettable Tanzanian safari with Silas
Our 11-day safari with Luwai Tanzania Safari, guided by Silas, was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived at Kilimanjaro International Airport and began our safari in Arusha, until our relaxing beach stay in Zanzibar, every detail was perfectly organized.
Our journey took us through Tarangire National Park, Karatu, the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti before flying to Zanzibar. Every destination offered something unique, and thanks to Silas, we experienced the very best that Tanzania has to offer.
The game drives were incredible. We enjoyed early morning, midday, and sunset safaris, each revealing different aspects of the African wilderness. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, witness the breathtaking Great Migration, and countless other unforgettable wildlife encounters. Every day exceeded our expectations.
Silas planned our entire vacation with exceptional professionalism. His communication before and during the trip was excellent, giving us complete confidence that everything was taken care of. The lodges he selected were outstanding, offering beautiful locations in the heart of nature, excellent amenities, delicious food, and warm hospitality. Even the connecting flight to Zanzibar was seamless and stress-free.
What truly made this safari extraordinary was Silas himself. He is an exceptional guide—professional, punctual, incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife, birds, and the natural environment, and passionate about sharing his expertise. He always seemed to know where to find the best wildlife and the hidden gems that made every game drive special.
Beyond his expertise, Silas is kind, humble, respectful, funny, and easy to spend time with. After 11 days together, we felt we were traveling with a trusted friend rather than just a guide. We always felt safe, comfortable, and in the very best hands.
We cannot recommend Luwai Tanzania Safari and Silas highly enough. If you’re looking for an authentic, well-organized, and unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania, look no further. Thank you, Silas, for creating memories that will stay with us forever. We hope to return one day!
