James Gichina
Our safari in Kenya was an unforgettable experience! 🇰🇪🦁
A special thank you to our amazing guide, James Gichina, who made our safari truly special. He was very professional, friendly, patient and knowledgeable. James knew exactly where to find the animals and always made sure we had the best views and photo opportunities.
Thanks to him, we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and many other incredible animals in their natural habitat. It was an absolutely breathtaking experience!
Everything was well organized, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the whole safari.
We highly recommend James Gichina as a guide to anyone visiting Kenya. Thank you, James, for the unforgettable memories! ❤️

Perfect 9 day Safari from Masai Mara to Thabo West
First and foremost, I would like to thank Filipa for the excellent organization of the entire safari. Our safari was postponed by a year due to family circumstances; after we provided the necessary medical documentation, they rescheduled it to this year without any issues.
After arriving at Nairobi Airport, we were promptly picked up by a taxi arranged through Spirit of Kenya. Our guide for the nine-day safari picked us up right on time at our hotel at the start of the trip. Our guide, Kamau, drove us safely from park to park. He took the time to look for wildlife and provided us with information and the opportunity to take close-up photos whenever possible.
We were lucky enough to spot the Big Five. For us, the Masai Mara ranks number one due to its diversity. Lake Nakuru was a wonderful place to complete our Big Five sightings by spotting the rhinoceros. During our visit, we hiked through Hell's Gate—an experience well worth it, especially for fans of *The Lion King*. In Amboseli, we were fortunate enough to spot a cheetah on the hunt, alongside countless elephants and views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
All the accommodations were excellent—the food, the comfort, and the staff. Everything was perfectly organized down to the last detail. We would certainly choose Spirit of Kenya again.

The best
Was very worth it but make sure you understand that the roads are extremely bumpy and the travel is very tiring. Other than that, we had the best time. Spotted all 5 animals.

5 stars with no hesitation
What an amazing experience!!! Honestly words cannot describe how incredible our two day safari was!
We got to see all different kinds of land, water animals and birds, whilst also learning more about them as every guide is extremely knowledgeable. All the workers are very kind, patient and very passionate about what they do. Our personal guide Bugusa and Nelson were absolutely incredible, we had the best shared day with them, constantly cracking jokes whilst also educating us on animals, plants used for medicine, local villages and so much more!
We got a two day safari which included food, water, accommodation, full day land safari, bush walk and a water boat safari. It was the perfect amount of time with which we came away with memories that will never be forgotten.
I would recommend this safari to literally anyone, 5 stars with zero hesitation.

Luxury, Adventure, and Outstanding Service
From the moment we arrived, the team treated us with genuine warmth and professionalism. The safari vehicle was spacious, the lodges were beautiful, and every detail felt carefully planned.
Serengeti was absolutely breathtaking, especially during the early morning game drives when the plains were filled with wildlife. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, and even a leopard resting in a tree, which was a dream come true for me.
What made this trip special was the balance between adventure and comfort. After exciting game drives, we returned to excellent accommodations where we could relax and enjoy delicious meals.
Africa Joy Tours exceeded every expectation, and this remains one of the finest travel experiences I have ever had.

Good Service, great communiction and friendly people.
The tour was well organized from start to finish. The guides were friendly, communicative, knowledgeable, and we felt safe all along. From pickup at the airport, to the national parks and finally our return, everything was well planned and ran smoothly.
One of the highlights was definitely Murchison Falls National Park, where we had the chance to see a wide variety of wildlife and experience the impressive Murchison Falls themselves. We also really enjoyed our time in Kabale, with its beautiful landscapes and completely different scenery. Jinja was another great part of the trip, offering a different side of Uganda and a chance to experience the country beyond the national parks.
Overall, the tour was a great way to experience Uganda, combining wildlife, nature and different parts of the country. We would definitely recommend the tour to anyone looking to explore Uganda in a well-organized and safe way.

What an incredible few days with the best guide anyone could wish for. Yasin was superb!
What an incredible few days with the best guide anyone could wish for. Yasin from Axix Safari’s was exceptional. Hugely knowledgeable and willing to impart information freely and also good fun with a super sense of humour.
We got to see so much and he always instinctively knew the best spot to be in and places to go, very much at one with the wildlife.
I can’t recommend Yasin enough, I stayed at Masi Sopa Lodge which was indulgent but absolutely worth it.
Out of so many amazing experiences it’s really hard to narrow it down to one but Lion Cubs were definitely a huge bonus highlight.
Saw 🦁🦡🐨🐖🐗🦬🐐🐆🐘🦛🐊🦒🦓 🐆and many more!

Reliable
After having done many safaris across the African continent, I must say that Tavira Tours was among the best. Since the first contact I felt welcomed, trusted and appreciated and this feeling also continued throughout the journey. They offer comprehensive and extensive tours to many different national parcs in Uganda, which is definitely a hidden gem for wildlife compared to the more expensive safaris in neighbouring Kenya and Tanzania. Tavira African Tours has modern vehicles, good guides that speak excellent English and have good knowledge about the flora and fauna of Uganda. If you are in Uganda and you look for a reliable and comfortable tour company that will show you the beauty of the pearl of Africa, I definitely recommend Tavira African Tours.
