Amazing 10 day trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar
We took a 10 day trip, includeing a safari and stop in Zanzibar. This was an amazing trip. Our guide, Eric, was superb, funny, and pleasant. He was attentive and looked for ways to help accommodate my older parents who have difficulty getting around. He was very knowledgeable of the animals, which greatly impressed my father. We were able to see all of the big 5 plus more. We wish everyone could have a guide like Eric.

Amazing adventure
We recently enjoyed a 4-day safari with Swahili Safari Escape, organized by Seth, and we can confidently say it was the trip of a lifetime. From the very first message, Seth made everything easy—his professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that we were in the best hands.
As a couple traveling together, this safari was more than just a holiday—it became a shared adventure we’ll cherish forever. Every day was filled with breathtaking moments: the sight of elephants wandering gracefully in Tarangire National Park, the tree-climbing lions and colorful birdlife of Lake Manyara, the sheer magic of descending into the Ngorongoro Crater surrounded by wildlife in every direction, and the endless golden plains of the Serengeti, where we spotted cheetahs, leopards, and herds of wildebeest stretching as far as the eye could see.
Seth and his team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient and fun, always making sure we had the best angles for photos and the time to truly appreciate each moment. The lodges and camps chosen were comfortable and welcoming, allowing us to unwind together under the stars after each exciting day.
What really stood out for us was Seth’s personal touch—he treated us not just as clients but as friends. He understood exactly what we were looking for as a couple and created a safari that felt both adventurous and intimate.
We came back with hearts full of gratitude, thousands of photos, and a deeper connection to each other and to the natural wonders of Tanzania. This truly was the safari of the year, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Swahili Safari Escape with Seth to any couple looking for an unforgettable journey.
Thank you, Seth—you gave us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Amazing Memories Safaris lives very much up to its brilliant reputation, even better
Before this private tour, we compared 3 5-star local operators, like the itinerary, vehicle, accommodation options, as well as exact price that they offered, and how responsive they were to our message and requirements. Without doubt, Amazing Memories Safaris is unbeatable in every aspect. During the communication with Nevill, the tour advisor and product manager, we directly felt that he was patient, specialized, genuine and trustworthy. Most importantly, he assigned a literally flawless tour guide for us, Philip, who was energetic, accommodating, responsible with high-standard work ethics. As a result, we have made memories full of countless wonders, like leopord climbing down a tree, cheetah predation, lion group hunting buffalo etc. Thanks to their professionalism and arrangement, we have savored the primitive charm of East Africa immersively and enjoyed every minu te of Safari. Again, thanks for making this trip amazing and memorable.

Unforgettable safari with Wildness Insights—great planning by John and amazing guide Shedrack
We booked our safari with John from Wildness Insights Safaris, and the entire planning and organization process with him was smooth and easy. He was always available for any question and responded clearly and professionally. We felt we could truly rely on him, and even when challenges arose along the way, he always did his best to assist.
When we arrived, we met our guide, Shedrack. The experience with him was outstanding. He is a very kind and welcoming person, with extensive knowledge, deep passion for his profession, and genuine love for his country. He was eager to share his knowledge with us, making our journey even more meaningful. We always felt in good hands with him—he was attentive to our needs, gave immediate responses, and made great efforts to ensure we had the best possible safari experience.
We warmly recommend Wildness Insights Safaris

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Do Not Recommend
We had an awful experience with Explorers Wild Adventures and cannot recommend this company.
The safari vehicle they provided was completely unfit for purpose, which caused us to miss an entire game drive — one of the main reasons we booked this trip. When we raised the issue, the company admitted fault and promised to refund the park fees for the day we lost. Months later, despite repeated follow-ups, we have still not received our refund and they are now ignoring our messages.
A safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the lack of professionalism, poor communication, and failure to deliver what was promised ruined what should have been a highlight of our trip to Kenya. There are many reputable operators in Kenya — avoid this one if you want reliability, honesty, and a properly run safari.

Best guiding company for Kilimanjaro!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THE BEST TEAM ON KILIMANJARO – BOOK WITH ALMIGHTY KILIMANJARO!
Climbing Kilimanjaro has been a lifelong dream of mine, and the only reason I made it to the summit was because of the phenomenal Almighty Kilimanjaro team. From start to finish, their care, patience, and support were beyond anything I could have imagined.
Let’s talk about the food first – because WOW. You don’t expect much at altitude, but Mathew the cook is truly a magician. Every meal was nourishing, delicious, and kept us fueled for the climb. Honestly, the food exceeded all expectations and became one of the highlights of the trip.
Now, the guides… Inocent Arico (Chief Guide) and Baraka (Guide) are absolute legends. Calm, knowledgeable, patient, and endlessly encouraging. If you are climbing Kili, trust me – you want these two leading you. They know the mountain inside out and made us feel safe and supported every single step of the way.
A very special mention must go to Baraka the waiter porter. What a star! Always smiling, attentive, and lifting everyone’s energy when things got tough. His warmth and positivity made the long days so much brighter, and his service was absolutely exceptional.
And then there’s Ali, our summit porter. I don’t have enough words to thank him. When altitude sickness hit me hard on summit night, it was Ali’s kindness, encouragement, and steady support that got me to the top. He and Innocent stayed by my side, reassured me when I felt like giving up, and gave me the confidence to keep moving. Without him, and the help of Innocent - I would not have reached Uhuru Peak. Ali is destined to be an incredible guide one day – he already has the heart and leadership for it.
To the rest of the incredible team – Rama, Novatus, Vicent, Peter, Raiton, Baltazar – your hard work behind the scenes, your smiles, and your encouragement made this expedition unforgettable. Every single one of you played a role in helping us succeed, and I will never forget the part you played in this journey.
If you are considering climbing Kilimanjaro, stop searching. Book with Almighty Kilimanjaro. They are professional, caring, unbelievably well-organized, and they feel like family by the end. I will forever be grateful to this dream team for making my summit possible.
🌍❤️ ASANTE SANA ALMIGHTY KILIMANJARO TEAM – you gave me memories for a lifetime.

A solid 7 day safari!
My wife and I did a 7 day private budget safari with Axis and had a wonderful time. The company was amenable to our customization requests and we felt their organization of our trip helped for a smooth operation. Thank you to Philip for the timely itinerary updates to help us decide on our tour quickly. When we first visited the office, we also felt confident in the supervision by Cynthia to ensure our trip would go smoothly. The roster of preferred accommodations were great, especially the camps. The food quality and personal touch made them great and we actually preferred them to the hotels.
Our guide, Yasin, was knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. He seemed well-known and liked among the other tour guides from different companies, which allowed him to receive information on animal sightings so we could efficiently see the wildlife. His phone takes great pictures too and he shared them with us to supplement our own and provided informational commentary with the videos he took. His vehicle was comfortable, well-maintained, had universal charging outlets, and had a fridge in the back to keep drinks cold.
I would consider myself an overthinker so choosing Axis was not an easy decision, but I’m glad I did and would recommend them to my friends and colleagues who are now interested because of the great pictures we took. We believe the private safari is definitely worth it because of the space in the vehicle and the ability to make decisions based on our individual desires. Definitely research your options, communicate what you like, and ask questions about how to customize a trip beforehand.
