A wonderful travel organised by Wild planet Safari
We were very lucky to have our short tour from May 18 to 20, 2019 in Hwange National Park and Matobo National Park organized by Wild Planet Safari. Lance did not only answered my request very quickly, but also adjusted the whole programm in accordance with our wishes. We appreciate his flexibility very much! Lance accompanied us personally during the whole tour and took great care for everything. The two restaurants booked by Lance for our dinners are located so beautifully with a real ambient, and we, of course, also enjoyed our food very much. The game drive in Hwange National Park was unforgettable. I made some of my best photos there. We are also very grateful to Lance for all the first-hand information not only about the parks and animals, but also about Zimbabwe. Our tour ended in the hotel in Bulawayo, but Lance offered us transfers from the hotel to the airport without any extra charge for this service.

Excellent!
First, I would like to thank Lennox, he was very prompt at answering all my questions and concerns from mail and WhatsApp. And he organized everything really well. Our driver and guide Joshua throughout the entire trip was a fun guy to be around. We learned a lot about the animals and environment that we did not know about. Joshua was also very accommodating to our needs and always asked if we were okay. I would highly recommend this tour group for future travelers. If I want to do safari again my choice will definitely be Axis Africa. And right now I’m recommending it to everyone. Thank you for this experience!!

Great day trip to Ngorongoro
My Lodge set me up with a day trip to Ngorongoro with Rupia at the last minute. I was on a tight budget and was happy to see it was more affordable than other places. I had to wake up really early since Ngorongoro is pretty far from Arusha, but it was definitely worth it. Elsa was skeptical because I have been on a safari in South Africa and salt that I had checked that box. But Ngorongoro is a whole different animal, pardon the pun. There are animals EVERYWHERE in the crater.
The guide/driver was friendly and kept saying these unrushed and fun. They provided us with ample lunches. The one thing to note is that at least for that trip they used an older, somewhat slower vehicle, but it was a totally fine and safari-appropriate land Rover with a top that opened up. I didn't travel to Tanzania to experience luxury vehicles.
The owner of the company was very friendly and since I book last-minute was fine with me paying afterwards and he came to my hotel to make that easier.
Good deal, great day, locally-operated - exactly what I wanted. Thank you!

6 days self drive and camping in Ngorongoro and Serengeti
We just came back from a 6 days self driving safaris trip and camping in the Ngorongoro and the Serengeti National park !
Gladiola have been simple perfect, from the booking, the car delivery, the Land-cruiser with roof tent that we hired as well as the follow up as we were driving in the parks. Lalashe was on call H24 for us, and ready to assist or answer our questions immediately !
This was simple above my personal expectations.
We are already thinking about our next trip in the region, and I already know that I will not look anywhere else for the rental.

Unforgettable Masai Mara safari with John, our first class guide
We signed up for a four day safari including two days in the Masai Mara, and a day in Nakuru National Park and Lake Naivasha. We were lucky enough to witness the start of the animal migration North from the Tanzanian Serengeti to the Kenyan Masai Mara. We saw thousands strong herds of wildebeest and zebra crossing rivers and the Savannah. Also lions, a jaguar, elephants, water buffalo (that's 4 of the big 5), Thompson's gazelles, grand gazelles, eland antelopes, topi antelopes, impala, giraffes, hippopotamuses, crocodiles, ostriches, warthogs, a jackal, mongoose, vultures, a fishing eagle, and all this on the second day alone. We later saw five white Rhinos including a few months old calf in Nakuru. This concentration of animals all in one place felt truly remarkable, like being in a BBC documentary. I can't rate our guide John highly enough. It was his expert knowledge that enabled us to be exactly where we needed to be at exactly the right time. And the cost? An absolute bargain!
