We would like to thank African Pangolin Safaris, met in the special guide Mansoor. We rode with Mansoor for a week. He is enthusiastic during the entire trip. Mansoor knows a lot about the country, the animals and nature and tells this with a lot of passion. We have learned a lot from him. Mansoor is a friendly man and listens to personal wishes regarding food, for example. It offers comfort and safe driving. In addition, Mansoor has a great interest in his passengers. You can tell that he enjoys the work and being in contact with people.
The program is low-key and according to our perfect planning. The program is versatile so you see and learn a lot about the country, culture and nature. The safaris were great! We definitely recommend the trip.

Experience of a Lifetime
The safari was an incredible experience that everyone should do once in their lives. I highly reccomend a trip to both Masai Mara and Nakuru as it allows for the best opportunity to see all of the big 5. Additionally, 4 days was the perfect amount of time to see everything and not feel like we missed anything. We had great guides/ drivers throughout including at the Masai village. I rated 4 stars instead of 5 for the slightly unorganized logistics (we switched tour guides/drivers and vehicles 3 times) and lack of notice that there would be no outlets in our tents at the first accommodations (it made charging our phones, our only cameras for the trip, very difficult). Overall, we had an amazing time and I would reccommend everyone have this experience.

Very lovely safari trip
Intent on a three day (two nights) trip to Maasai Mara, accommodated at Mara Chui resort.
The communication prior the trip was excellent. I received a quote in less than a day and all my questions were answered promptly via WhatsApp.
The tour itself was very nice thanks to our guide Kelvin. We saw four of the big five and Kelvin could answer all our questions.
Improvements could be made regarding the safety of the vehicles. Seat belts in the safari vehicle were not working but more concerning was the car that took me to the airport after the safari. In the end, I arrived safely but it made me quite nervous during the ride to the airport.
Other than that, I can fully recommend axis safari!

Great trip with minor hiccups
We went on a 4 four day trip to Masaai Mara and Lake Nakuru. First of all, we were lucky to have Charles K as guide, he is excellent and ensured we had overall had a great trip. There were also some minor problems along the tour, like not getting solo accommodation despite paying for it.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had a fantastic 11 days in Tanzania with Gorgeous African Safaris, and everything went perfectly smoothly for us. Every day exceeded our expectations, from the food and accommodations to our safari jeep and game drives in the Tanzanian wilderness. The beach relaxation was absolutely unforgettable. The entire trip was arranged perfectly, making it a truly memorable experience.

Amazing - once in a lifetime
I want to thank ROBIN for taking care of me and the group during the once in a lifetime safari trip from June 14-18. As a female travelling solo for the first time in Kenya, he really made me feel safe and comfortable! I love that my stuff was actually safe in the car and the accommodations especially since I was carrying my camera and telephoto lens for the first time. What I also loved was he always had water available which was great and much needed. This was my first safari so of course I'll never forget it and he is a part of that.
We saw 4 of the big 5: elephants, lions (lots of them), buffalo, and rhino. Just didn't see the leopard but we saw a beautiful cheetah! He made sure to try to make everyone happy --- stopped for the birdwatchers, the giraffe lovers, and just the general request take the amazing Masai mara scenery in --- thank you for stopping for the sunset!
We saw so many animals - it was like seeing them and learning about them for the first time. Truly a magical experience.
Thank you Robin for your cool personality and for the great adventure. Hope to see you again!

Why 4 stars instead of 5:
1. I hope the tour can be more accomodating to Muslims - one of the restaurants said that everything was halal except the chicken-- I would've eaten it by mistake if I hadn't asked. I was initially told that everything will be halal. A lot of hotels weren't aware of what halal was.... Not sure how this works...
2. Last hotel --- Chambai Safari in Navaisha-- had a glass window like blinds in the bathroom where anyone could see and look into the bathroom!! Please take note to not place any guests there until this is resolved as that's unacceptable. Rest of the accomodations were great!! Especially the resort with the massage -- Jennifer was amazing. The lenchada camp exceeded expectations --- clean - hot showers - decent regular food
