The best experience!
The whole experience was incredible. This was the trip of a lifetime and I am glad that Safari Smile was the operator and that Samuel was our driver.
He was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also always attentive with us and generous with other drivers when they needed help along the way.
We were able to see so many animals because of the routes he would take us on, which were ones the other drivers would not typically take.
Overall, for me it was a 10/10 experience and would 100% recommend.

Outstanding
Jockey Tour operators are the most responsive, professional and capable tour operators. They responded quickly to every question I had, and were very patient and knowledgeable.
We spent 3 adventurous days at the Masai Mara Safari made even more exciting by our very capable, kind and knowledgeable driver Brian Ondigo. Brian is an expert driver and we felt safe with him. During the safari he took the time to make sure we saw all the animals and experienced the best views possible. He was also extremely patient with us as we took the time to make sure we captured the perfect photos. Overall, Brian was excellent! He was attentive to our needs, very professional, and his easygoing personality made our experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a fun and rich adventure.

An unforgettable experience!
If it were possible, I would give Topy Tours 6 stars. We booked a total of 10 days with them: 3 days Mount Meru trekking, 4 days on safari, with 3 days in Arusha in between. There are over 3,500 organisations offering safaris arond Arusha, but we couldn’t have chosen a better one. Organisation, communication and reliability were all top-notch. We also had two fantastic guides: Zakayo for the trek and Ben for the safari. Both were absolutely crucial to us having such a wonderful time in Tanzania. Zakayo was incredibly helpful, has a wealth of knowledge about trekking and always adapted to our individual preferences. Thanks to him, we made it safely to the summit of Mount Meru and back down again. The safari with Ben was not only incredibly educational and informative, but also full of humour. He, too, catered to our individual needs, whilst at the same time we benefited from his vast knowledge and experience and enjoyed an incredible number of wonderful moments with animals. We were also super lucky and got to see all the "Big Five".
Thank you once again for this unforgettable experience. We arrived as strangers and left as friends.

Clear and efficient
This is our very first Safari adventure. We compared several safari operators, and Axis stood out because of its excellent communication from the very beginning.
Tabitha provided clear, detailed information throughout the planning process and was always responsive to our questions and requests.
Our guide and driver, Andrew, made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. With over 20 years of safari experience, he was incredibly knowledgeable and did his best to help us spot the wildlife we hoped to see.
Although we didn't get to witness the river crossing this time, we had an amazing safari experience and we will come back for a different trip!

Excellent Safari Experience!
We had a great time on our 3 day Safari that was planned by our manager Leonard! It was a very fun and smooth experience with our guide Abraham and our cook Yohani!
We saw tons of wonderful animals and learned so many facts about the wildlife from Abraham! The food and drinks that were included in our package were all very tasty and well portioned. We would highly recommend booking with Meru Slopes!

Splendid safari: trip of a lifetime
The trip was perfectly planned from beginning to end. The communication with Alice was efficient and she was always able to accommodate our requests. We were lucky enough to have the wonderfully wise Mwololo as our tour guide. He taught us so much over the nine days and was always ready to accommodate felxibilities in the schedule. We would like to have him next time!
Authentic Botswana experience with exceptional guiding and genuine hospitality
Being hosted by the Chobe House team was an unforgettable experience - one that has remained etched in both my memory and my heart. Their warm hospitality made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived, and every detail reflected a genuine passion for sharing Botswana’s wild places.
Our guide’s knowledge of the local birdlife was exceptional, and his tracking skills led us to some truly unforgettable lion sightings. Combined with delicious home-style meals inspired by local flavours and a team that consistently went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, the experience felt authentic, personal, and truly memorable.
Long after returning home, I found myself thinking about the people, the wildlife, and the sense of peace I experienced there. It’s a place that genuinely changed how I feel about Botswana, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended.

Well organized, reliable and great attention to detail
We had an amazing 7-day Kenya safari in May, and it turned out to be the perfect time to visit. The parks were beautifully green, there were fewer vehicles around, and the wildlife viewing was incredible.
Amboseli was a fantastic start, with large elephant herds and beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro when the clouds cleared. Lake Naivasha was a relaxing stop, and the boat ride among hippos and birds was a great change of pace before heading to the Maasai Mara.
The Maasai Mara was the highlight of the trip. We enjoyed unforgettable sightings of lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and even a leopard. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and always seemed to know exactly where to be for the best wildlife encounters.
Everything was well organized, from the accommodations to the daily logistics, making the entire safari smooth and stress-free.
We highly recommend Mzingo Wild Adventures to anyone planning their first safari in Kenya. May may be considered the green season, but for us, it was an unforgettable experience. Thank you Annie and our amazing guide!
