Blew all expectations out of the water!
Absolutely amazing experience, 10/10! I solicited 6 quotes from 5 operators because I wanted to make sure that we got an amazing experience with great value for money, and Kilimanjaro absolutely delivered. Prince was my contact and tour organizer, and he was very responsive and made small adjustments to our itinerary as I requested. I met with him via video chat before sending any money, which I very much appreciated and he explained all my questions and helped me feel confident to book.
When we arrived, our guide was waiting for us to transfer us to the hotel. The owner of KASC met us at the hotel the first night and explained everything, and collected the rest of the money. He allowed us to pay the rest after going to the ATM the second day because we spend some of the cash we had. Tour guide Eli was amazing! He was sweet and kind, and extremely prepared. There were no questions he did not have the answer to while we were traveling, and I felt like he took a lot of care in making sure we saw everything but also managing our time well. There was one instance where he spent a lot of time making sure we saw lions rather than giving up on trying to find them. You could tell he was a very experienced guide (he said he had over 10 years of guide experience) and was willing to help out whenever we or anyone else needed. He was always on time in the morning waiting for us and shared all kinds of info about all the animals and Tanzania. When a rock got stuck in our wheel in the middle of the Serengeti, it was a minor pitstop we needed to take to get it fixed and keep going. He drove very safely the whole week.
We saw everything! Not just all the more common animals (wildebeest, zebras, elephants, giraffes, etc.) but a bunch of lions, some leopards, and one cheetah. We went during the Great Migration time, and we got to see 2 different river crossings which was amazing! We even saw crocodiles grabbing a wildebeest during the one crossing, straight out of a National Geographic documentary. It was an amazing trip, and our family loved it!

Amazing
We had an amazing experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris! From the beginning, the communication was very good and everything was well organized. We felt very comfortable and well looked after throughout the whole trip.
Our guide was very attentive and always made sure we had the best possible view of the animals. He was also very friendly and kind, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see so many incredible animals and the safari was truly unforgettable.
We are very happy with the service and would definitely recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience in Kenya. Thank you for everything! 🦁🐘❤️

The tour was fantastic; Amos, our driver and guide, was very attentive and cheerful. He was the best possible driver. He made every effort to ensure we saw all the animals from the best vantage points.

An amazing Safari!!!
The WhatsApp communication while planning the safari was perfect, and the service provided by our driver, Amos, and at the accommodations where we stayed was excellent. They offer great value for money and are very reliable. You don't have to worry about a thing!

The best Safari tour
Everything was perfect—fully organized from start to finish, so you didn't have to worry about a thing. Our guide, Amos, was delightful; he was a great driver and incredibly skilled at spotting animals up close. Highly recommended.

Highly experienced, professional and excellent value
Our driver and guide Peter went above and beyond to ensure that our safari tour was superb. From the very beginning of our trip, Peter helped get us set up and ensured that our journey was full of interesting sightings, information and options, not only taking us through everything we would be doing but getting us from one place to the next quickly and with stops of interest along the way.
Peter seems to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of each of the different reserves we visited over the course of 5 days (The Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Ol Pejeta and Samburu), as well as a deep network of connections to ensure that we found the best sightings and points of interest each day.
We saw everything we could possibly have hoped for, and so much more, on our journey. From all of the rare or big animals to the most incredible vistas and sunsets, our journey will remain totally unforgettable and I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful, honest, personal and heartfelt journey of Kenya's treasures. I cannot recommend Estleon Adventures and Peter more.

A Journey That Exceeded Every Expectation – 12 Days Across Kenya & Tanzania
I recently completed a 12-day midrange safari with Tai-Oak Travel and Tours, and I can honestly say it was one of the best trips I've ever taken.
From the beginning, Beth was amazing. She was always quick to respond, answered all my questions, and made the booking process so easy. I felt confident that everything was in good hands even before the trip started.
We were also incredibly lucky to witness the Great Migration, something I had always dreamed of seeing. Watching thousands of wildebeest and zebras moving across the plains was simply breathtaking. It's a memory I'll carry with me forever.
A special thank you to our guide, Mike. He wasn't just our driver he made the whole safari come alive. His knowledge of the parks and wildlife was impressive, and somehow he always knew where to find the animals. He was patient and professional, and he made sure everyone in the vehicle had the best possible experience.
The itinerary was well planned, the accommodations were comfortable, and everything ran smoothly throughout the 12 days. I never had to worry about anything; I could just relax and enjoy the adventure.
This trip made me fall even more in love with Africa. The wildlife, the landscapes, and the people were all incredible. Twelve days went by so quickly, and I was genuinely sad when it came to an end.
I would happily recommend Tai-Oak Travel and Tours to anyone planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Thank you, Beth, Mike, and the entire team for making this such a memorable experience. I can't wait to come back. Tai-Oak to the world!!!!
