Awesome
Memorable Masai Mara
Our 3 days Masai Mara Safari had been incredible. And the man behind this incredible show was our guide and driver Saddam and Vooh. He made the best use of our time and his expertise to spot the big 5 besides other animals and made us feel the breathtaking Masai Mara at its best. Our trip was organized by Axis Africa Safari. I must praise this company for their well organized arrangements and our stay in Mara Chui Resort was also highly satisfactory. I will certainly recommend Axis Africa Safari and Saddam to my friends and families interested in experiencing safaries in Kenya.

An unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania
We had a wonderful and unforgettable safari experience with Shemeji Safari. Our guides, Bonny and Laswai, were amazing: attentive, kind and very knowledgeable. They were always teaching us about the animals, the environment and Tanzania, which made the whole experience even more special.
The accommodations were excellent, always clean and comfortable. We also felt very safe, even when staying in places surrounded by wildlife, which was an incredible experience in itself. The food was also very good.
Everything was well organized and we felt very well taken care of throughout the safari. We are leaving Tanzania with wonderful memories and a much deeper appreciation for its wildlife, nature and people. We would definitely recommend Shemeji Safari!

It is much more than just a hot-air balloon flight — it is a unforgettable Serengeti experience
About a month ago, we had the opportunity to take a hot-air balloon flight with Miracle Experience over the Serengeti. It was truly one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had as a family.
The balloon flight itself was absolutely spectacular, but what made the experience even more special was the entire package surrounding it.
Our experience started at 4:00 AM, with a transfer in complete darkness through the Serengeti. Even the journey to the launch site became part of the adventure, with stops along the way to observe lions and other wildlife during the night. Experiencing the Serengeti at those early hours, seeing the nocturnal life of the animals, and driving through the reserve in complete darkness was an adventure in itself.
When we arrived at the launch area, we received a wonderful welcome, including hot drinks, high-quality snacks, and warm clothing for anyone who needed it. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and made us feel comfortable despite the early hour and cold morning.
We then had a short and professional briefing from our excellent balloon captain, Rosa Parera, who immediately gave us confidence and made us even more excited for the flight.
The flight itself was simply incredible. Seeing the Serengeti from above and watching the wildlife from a completely different perspective was an unforgettable experience. We were able to observe the animals from the air while enjoying a hot cup of coffee, surrounded by the breathtaking sunrise and endless Serengeti landscape.
After landing, we were treated to a wonderful and elegant toast, followed by transportation to an amazing breakfast location. The breakfast was served out in the middle of nature and was of an exceptionally high standard. The experience was made even more special by a fantastic traditional singing and dancing performance.
Even the restroom facilities were something special — beautifully arranged in nature with a unique and spectacular view. It was an incredible attention to detail and another example of how much thought Miracle Experience puts into the entire experience.
From the early-morning pickup to the wildlife encounters, the balloon flight, the hospitality, the breakfast, and the entertainment — every single part of the experience was exceptional.
A huge thank you to the entire Miracle Experience team, and especially to Captain Rosa Parera, for giving our family such an unforgettable experience.
We highly recommend Miracle Experience to anyone visiting the Serengeti. It is much more than just a hot-air balloon flight — it is a complete, beautifully organized and truly unforgettable Serengeti experience! 🇹🇿🎈🦁🐘

Professional, knowledgable, and flexible tour operator who will help you plan your dream trip!
Brilliant Adventures and Safaris lived up to their name by helping my wife and I an amazing safari trip in September 2026. Lightness (Sales Manager at Brilliant) helped us look at all sorts of different options to suit the length of trip, budget and key things we wanted to see and do. All questions and itinerary change requests were replied to promptly with clear details of how each option would play out. We must have gone through 5 or 6 different versions before picking one, and his helped us plan confidently over the year or so leading up to the trip.
We ended up having flight issues on the first day of our trip, but Brilliant kept in touch with us and made last minute adjustments to ensure we were picked up from a different location and able to get our plans back on track. Once we arrived, Lightness took us through our trip details again to make sure our expectations were met; it's clear that they wanted to ensure we had the best time, and we did!
During our trip we had everything we could need, and all of our various activities, lodges and hotels all taken care of. Our driver Joshua was a pleasure to spend time with, as well being a consummate professional. Excellent driving kept us safe, with a well maintained vehicle stocked with snacks/drinks etc for our long days out.
Top quality service from a very professional team.

Patient, kind and knowledgeable.
Lawrence was very patient and ensured we tracked the animals. He drove safely to and from Lake Nakuru.
He was very professional and safe at all times. I completely recommend that you can book Lawrence as a group and as a solo traveler. He’s a great tour guide!

Axis Africa - experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated guide was undoubtedly one of the BEST.
Our Maasai Mara trip was truly an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that credit goes to our wonderful driver and guide, Saddam.
From the beginning, Saddam was extremely friendly, supportive, and professional. He was especially wonderful with my 7-year-old son, making him feel comfortable and keeping him engaged throughout the journey. His friendly nature and positive attitude made us feel like we were travelling with someone we had known for a long time.
Saddam is very knowledgeable and understands the Maasai Mara incredibly well. He is also well connected with other guides in the reserve, which made a big difference during our game drives. We were extremely lucky to see lions, a group of lionesses, lion cubs, a leopard, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, and many more beautiful animals.
What impressed me the most was his ability to spot wildlife and understand exactly where to take us. At times, I was genuinely amazed at how he could identify the exact location and get us there at the right moment. Thanks to his experience and efforts, I was able to capture some of the best photographs and videos of our entire trip.
The driving was smooth, the journey was comfortable, and every game drive was exciting. Saddam was always patient, supportive, and willing to make the extra effort to give us the best possible experience.
I must say, Saddam is one of the best guides you could have for a Maasai Mara safari.
Thank you Axis Africa for assigning him for our trip. He made our family trip truly special and turned it into a lifetime experience that we will always remember.
Thank you once again, Saddam and Axis Africa, for making our Maasai Mara adventure so wonderful. Highly recommended!
