Our safari in Kenya was amazing thanks to our guide and driver, Charles. He was kindhearted, supportive, helpful, and very knowledgeable. I wasn’t very happy with the hotels and food, but Charles truly made the trip unforgettable!
A well organised safari
We had a good trip with Axis Africa, everything was well organised from the first hotel pick up to the days we were out doing activities. Guide, Peter Kapino, was very knowledgeable, friendly and ensured we had a good time. He tried hard to find all animals whilst we were out on safari and answered all our questions, both about the animals and generally about life in Kenya! We felt safe at all times during our trip.
There were a couple of negatives of the trip. Firstly, a few of the optional activities were a little more expensive than we were told or had hidden costs which were not stated in the description. Secondly, the last day was very rushed, when in Hell's gate it felt as though we were being rushed along and didn't have time to 'explore' as described, we did the minimum not exploring the caves etc. Following that visit, we were taken for lunch at 11:30am before driving back to Nairobi, although we had been told we would end the day around 4pm. This 5th day was realistically only half a day and it was a shame to end on such a rushed and disappointing note when we were expecting a whole day of activity. It seemed this was because another couple on the shared trip were staying another day and and travelling to amboselli and so our day had to be rushed to accommodate them, which I felt was unfair to us. I don't believe this was the guides fault as I understand this would be a long day for him, but the other couples trip should not have impacted ours.
The trip seemed generally good value for money, although it seemed other similar priced trips did include the day 4 boat ride price, which this didn't. And the very limited final day reduced the value for money.

Every Moment Unique, Enjoyable and Informative
The safari experience was truly one of our most memorable, and we booked it for five days with Jastro Safaris. Watching the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara was a unique experience thousands of wildebeest crossing the river, while lions and crocodiles hunted nearby! We were blown away by the views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the herds of elephants from Amboseli, and the pink flamingos at Lake Nakuru were truly amazing. Our guides George, Saitoti, were very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, making every moment more enjoyable and informative. Every day of the safari was filled with excitement, nature, and cultural experiences. Traveling to Kenya was definitely a once in a lifetime experience for us!

Structured and Entertaining
I had a wonderful time with Viva Safaris. It was very organized without much downtime. Which is great when you have limited time. The accommodations were lovely, the food was delicious, and I met lots of interesting people. I would book again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend if you don't want to self drive in Kruger!

Very well organized
We had the best time with Beyond the Plains Safari. Julius, our coordinator, was very responsive with all our queries, and helped us line up the itinerary seamlessly. Our tour guide Joseph was incredible, very informative and made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the trip. He was incredible with animal sightings and answered all our various questions on the wildlife we saw. He was constantly coordinating with the other guides to enable us to see all the animals! We saw a hunt, the wildebeest crossing the mara river, and so much more, all thanks to him. Would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

He is very knowledgeable about animals and has a great eye for finding them. He made sure that we had a great safari experience.

He is a very pragmatic young man. He answers all kinds of questions with great patience, takes our feelings into consideration, and is always willing
The service is very good, the accommodation is also great, the driver had a great time chatting with us, took us to find various animals, and they can also handle various emergencies very well. This is a very trustworthy company!

Amazing Guide and Flawless Safari Adventure
We had an amazing experience with Kingtomondo Safaris. From booking to pickup to the game drives, everything was incredibly smooth. The team was very flexible in accommodating our requests, and communication was excellent throughout. Our guide, Saidi, was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced, with a great eye for spotting animals. He consistently went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible views, even in crowded situations (like when a lion was spotted). Truly a memorable safari, and we highly recommend them!

Amazing experience
The experience was amazing! We were able to see the Big Five very quickly, and the guide put in a lot of effort to make sure we had this experience. He was always kind and kept asking if we were satisfied. It was our first safari, and I would definitely recommend it to others.
