Great experience and service
We recently completed a 5‑day trip to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha with Axis Africa Expedition and Safaris, and it was an excellent experience.
From the very beginning, Ms. Tabitha was extremely helpful in arranging our booking, ensuring everything was smooth and well‑organized.
During the safari, our guide Mr. James was outstanding — enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making sure we saw the best of the wildlife. His energy and passion truly elevated our trip.
We are very happy with the services provided and would highly recommend Axis Africa to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

A friendly, professional local safari operator that goes above and beyond
An incredible safari with Serengeti Smile!
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Serengeti Smile and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
From the very beginning, Piniel, our point of contact, was fantastic. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted from our safari and tailored the entire experience around our wishes. He was incredibly flexible, prepared multiple quotes for us, responded to all of our questions (at all hours!), and was always friendly and helpful. We really felt that he cared about making our safari perfect rather than simply selling us a package.
And then there was our driver, Davis, who was simply amazing. He was extremely friendly, polite and professional throughout the entire safari. His knowledge of the parks and, most importantly, his ability to spot animals was incredible. Thanks to Davis, we managed to see virtually everything we had hoped for — including some absolutely unforgettable encounters with wildlife from incredibly close distances.
The whole experience exceeded our expectations. From the planning with Piniel to the actual safari with Davis, everything was handled professionally and with a genuine personal touch.
We are so happy that we chose a local Tanzanian company, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Smile to other travellers looking for an unforgettable safari experience.
Thank you Piniel and Davis for an incredible trip and memories that we will never forget!

Serendipitous adventure with unexpected encounter and unforgettable memory
The adventure is fantastic. Our trip includes 6 days of safari and 3 days in Arusha (for city, Materuni Waterfalls, Serval wildlife). We are a family of three and Unveiled Tanzania Safaris gave us a really good discount on the kid. The tour guide Mike is really experienced, thoughtful and kind. Some of the unique encounters includes:
1. A group of 6 cheetahs. On our way to north Serengeti we did a game drive in the morning, Mike managed to found a group of cheetahs (1 mother and 5 kids), which is extremely uncommon given the difficulty of bringing up that many kids. We even got to see them pooping and digging for small animals. Very interesting.
2. Hyenas hunting baby buffalo. In the game drive at NgoroNgoro Crater, we encountered a huge group of buffalos, where two hyenas were hunting a baby buffalo, whose mother tried to protect, but had to give up and moan by side with another hyena coming. We managed to witness and filmed the whole process, which only lasts several minutes. Mike told us it is extremely rare to see because hyenas ususally do not perform active hunting and the hunting would usually happen in the night or very early morning.
3. Elephants & giraffes drinking water. In Tarangire National Park (aka elephant paradise), we saw a huge group (>20) of elephants drinking, playing and splashing in the water. It was so funny! Also, later the giraffes came to drink in the same spot, with front legs spreading, it was cute and amusing.
Thanks to Mike's rich experience (and a little courage), we got to have all the amazing enounters.

Great agency for an unforgettable trip!
The agency represented by Pretty organized our 14-day family trip with four children aged 6 to 13 and two parents. They made sure everything was planned for our family size beforehand and scheduled visits to the most beautiful and unforgettable places in Uganda. Our driver-guide, Vincent, was also fantastic—patient and attentive to our needs. We saw an incredible number of animals, including some of the rarest species, thanks to Vincent's keen eye and extensive knowledge! We had an unforgettable trip thanks to this agency, which I wholeheartedly recommend. A huge thank you to Wagatil Safaris, Pretty, and Vincent!

Amazing safari experience
We came to Tanzania for our honeymoon safari and had an incredible time! Aishwarya was really helpful and responsive in planning our itinerary, and the quality of everything throughout the trip was amazing. It genuinely felt like a 5-star experience.
Our guide, Zephania, was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to tailor the experience around what we wanted. We saw the Big Five and every animal we hoped to see! We’d definitely recommend Wakanda Tours, especially Zephania, for an amazing safari experience 😊

Well organised and had a memorable safari experience
We had a wonderful experience with Axis Africa Safari and would definitely recommend them for an African safari experience.
Our driver Saddam was one of the highlights of the trip. He was extremely disciplined, punctual, and professional throughout the safari. He planned the days very well and had a great understanding of where and when we were most likely to spot the animals. Thanks to his planning and experience, we were able to see an amazing variety of wildlife and make the most of our safari.
One small area for improvement would be to inform guests in advance about the approximate amount of cash they should carry. We were aware that we would need to pay for certain things, but we ended up needing additional cash for some extras that we hadn’t anticipated. Of course, we were completely fine with paying for the extras, but we had to make an additional stop during the safari to collect cash, which was a little inconvenient and took away some time from the experience. A clear estimate of the expected cash requirements beforehand would make the trip even smoother.
Overall, we had a great experience with Axis Africa Safari, and the professionalism, punctuality, and excellent planning of our driver really stood out. Thank you for a memorable safari experience! 🦁🐘🦒

Unforgettable 6-Day Safari Adventure
We had such an amazing time on our 6-day safari! It was honestly an unforgettable experience.
A big thank you to Wangari, who did a really great job organizing the whole trip for us. Everything was well arranged, and we felt taken care of throughout the safari.
All the drivers were so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They really made an effort to make sure we had the best experience and, most importantly, that we got to see all of the Big Five!
Thank you so much, Wangari, and to all the drivers for making our trip so special! ❤️

Trip of a Lifetime!
People from my country (Indonesia) didn't often come to Africa hence we have very limited information. Traipsing did a splendid job helping us book a safari lodge during it's most peak season where anywhere else we can only found sold out lodges. The communication through Whatsapp with our 5hr time difference was so helpful, Thanks to our agent Sandra! We found the perfect lodge which is Nyala Safari Lodge. Airport transfers are included, they were on time, smooth travel in a spacious car with snacks too, we are spoiled! Nyala was just perfect, still dreaming about it while I write this review, it was small but private, the service was imppecable, Nicky and Dave made all their guests feels like a family and best of all, we saaw 4/5 Big 5 in one game drive! Just amazing! Would highly recommend, 10/10!
