Hidden Gem in a Packed Market
We used Safari Bookings to search for our first Kenyan Safari since moving to East Africa. As you will have seen there are dozens of companies to choose from!
Laxa Trails didn't have the most reviews but the ones there were generally positive, so we took a chance. I have to say I'm so glad we did!
The guide Ben was amazing throughout, answering questions, stopping for toilet breaks, doing everything he could to find the best animals possible, but without the constant stream of information that you sometimes find with guides. For our group it was perfect!
Hotels really exceeded our expectations, with some really nice lodges beyond the mid-range I was expecting. They are long days when going on Safaris, so the comfortable return was welcome 😴😴
Top Tip: We saw in another review to ask to upgrade to the Pop Up Room 4x4, and you definitely should! The difference between the Land Cruiser and the minibus is second to none and space is amazing! For the small additional cost it's worth it 😁

well organized, perfect expirience - we highly recommend
We highly recommend Professional Safaris Africa if you are interested in a safari in Tansania.
We had a 3-day tour in Sep. 25 (Serengeti-Ngorongoro-Tarangire) with Anton. He is a real professional, highly motivated and well expirienced driver. He had an answer for all that we questioned during the tour, also with tons of background information about culture, history, people and animals. He is also a very expirienced mechanic. During our tour he managed to help three other drivers getting their Landcruisers back on the road so you can feel really safe having him as your guide.
All paperwork and preparations (we had to fly in & out from Sansibar) prior to our arrival were perfectly communicated and managed by Jesca. All camps and lodges are well organized, safe and clean. The food was great and they all offered a top view to catch a cold beer and end an exciting day.

Excellent trip - perfect guide
From being picked up in Nairobi our guide Ben provided us with a brilliant experience. He was knowledgeable of all the animals on the safari, he could answer our questions but was not intrusive. He was friendly and good company too. We saw all of the animals we hoped to see, the hotels were nice especially the first two and the travelling was as painless as possible. I would definitely recommend!

Perfect!! 👌🏻
We had an incredible experience! Our adventure with Kiwoito Africa Safari began in February/March with Evaline! A strong contact in humanity! We exchanged more than 45 emails before our departure. She made us a customised stay. Depending on our expectations, our budget, our periods. She was of remarkable responsiveness, infinite patience and above all of all of exceptional kindness! Each of his messages was of a rare benevolence! She concocted a stay perfectly adapted to our expectations! We had the chance to meet, she made her way to us when we arrived. Our exchanges were so warm that it's like we've always known each other! Thank you ☺️ Evaline you were great! Really .. then we met Deo. Our French-speaking guide. The one who made us discover the savannah, with so much passion. He knows everything about everything, animals, flora, culture! He knows the roads like the back of his hand. He gave us the time we needed to admire the landscapes, explained to us so many things that we did not know. Deo is a book, a well of science! What a pleasure to have had the chance to be with him during these 6 days! He took great care to make this safari unforgettable for us and he did it tremendously well!! Thanks again Deo 🙏🏻. We closed our stay by meeting Charles, the manager! He came to greet us at the airport and brought us small souvenir gifts! Thank you, Charles. So many touching attentions for us! In short, this local agency that respects animals and nature is the one you need. Everything was so perfectly organised by them that we just had to let ourselves go!! Each lodge tent was perfectly cosy, meals of various and varied choices, all very good. All the staff of the camps were smiling, attentive and attentive. For all this I thank this Kiwoito team who allowed us to realise an immersion in nature with authenticity!

Amazing service
I booked my microlight flight thru Afro Dawn adventures. My flight was cancelled initially because of the wind picking up but Isabella was absolutely amazing in working with the microlight flight operator to reschedule my flight. She was in constant communication with me and was able to get me on a microlight flight in the afternoon when the conditions were better. Within 10 minutes she had a driver in front of my hotel to pick me up and take me for my flight. The microlight was one of the most exhilarating experiences in Victoria falls. I wanted to go again!! Next time in Zambia God willing I would not hesitate twice to book thru Afro Dawn Adventures

Truly Amazing Experience.
What an incredible journey from start to finish. From the moment I booked, Daniel from Ecolife kept in constant touch via whatsapp and answered any questions I had or any adjustments I required to be made. Then from the moment I landed at Kilimanjaro airport and throughout the Safari and well as the cultural visits (Maasai, Hadzabe and Datonga tribe), everything ran smoothly. As for the safari itself, I dont have enough words to describle. My guide, Lucas was again just the best - made sure we got the best views.
Top Highlight: Was lucky enough to see the big 5 and even more special was seeing both the leopard and rhino (known to be bit elusive) on multiple occasions. Another highlight was visiting the hadzable tribe, a unique and memorable experience.
All in all, a truly wonderful experience and would highly recommend.
