Lifetime xperience in Africa!
We had a wonderful safari in Kenya. It was best of the best tour in my life. Our guide Vincent was absolutely outstanding! Jong patiently answered all our questions and made our safari memorable! We visited Amboseli, Nakru, Masai Mara and Naivas. We saw migration, lion hutning, cheetah family and rhinos in the bush. It was amazing!! Thanks to Vincent and Jong!

Great organization, great driver/guide and very good accomodation
I would greatly recommend tanzania horizon safaris because of their professionality, the availability (at every hour) of Elizabeth and the super driver/guide Davis. The jeep was very confortable, spaciou, and cleaned every day! Pleanty of water eveey day. Davis always accepted our requests with smile, putting his experience in looking for animals (he knows everything and where they are!!!). Thanks to everybody.

Safari very nice. But a lot of administration with refund.
Our guide was great. Safari as well. But there was a lot of administration with refund. For example I do not understand why you asked your invoice from me. And refund took too long.

Dependable, Caring and effusive- Will we go again with his tour company? A definite Yes.
In August 2023, our group of 14 embarked on a 10-day private safari across Kenya and Tanzania, a journey we began planning nearly a year prior. Throughout the process, Niko and Susan were instrumental in ensuring our experience was seamless, even though there were occasional communication delays.
Upon our arrival at Nairobi Airport, Susan warmly welcomed us. We had a free day in Nairobi before our tour began, and at our request, Niko promptly arranged a van, allowing us to explore the city thoroughly.
Our adventure took us through Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Amboseli national parks. The first, second, and last parks are located in Kenya, while the others are in Tanzania.
Our guides, handpicked by Niko, were not only knowledgeable but also went above and beyond to enhance our experience. In Kenya, Adson and George led the way, followed by Adson and Julius. In Tanzania, Denis and Alfany took the reins. Their kindness, patience, and passion for nature were evident as they introduced us to the wonders of the wild. We were fortunate to witness the diverse fauna, including the "Big 5", and the awe-inspiring great migration of wildebeests from Tanzania to Kenya across the Mara River.
Our stays at the Serena hotels, Lion Sarova in Nakuru, the Canvas tents under the Mara, and Ole Sarai camp were nothing short of luxurious. Throughout the trip, Niko maintained close communication with our guides, ensuring every detail was perfect.
On behalf of our group, I extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved. This journey has etched unforgettable memories in our hearts.

Everything was perfect, very well managed from A to Z
great. Anwar was a great guide and driver we saw the big 5, he knew a lot about animals and knew all the parks and where to go to see some animals. The tent in the middle of the Serengeti was simply incredible

Controller down to the last detail. Trustworthy.
I found JT Safaris here on Tripadvisor. Julius arranged our safari down to the last detail. We were picked up from our hotel in the morning and taken to the Diani beach (Ukunda) airstrip. Our plane was already waiting to take us to the beautiful Massai Mara. When we got there our guide Lucky was already waiting for us. The Drive from the airstrip to the hotel was already an experience. As Lucky says "a free african massage". Our hotel The Fig tree camp is a beautiful hotel located on the Talek rivier. The tents were clean and equipped with every luxury. The hippos in the river in front of our tent was fantastic. In the afternoon we had our first game drive. Lucky is a star at finding animals. On the first day we saw two leopards, cheetahs, many zebras and so much more. Around 7p.m. we were back at the camp where we had a delicious diner. After sitting around the campfire for a while, we went to sleep early, because Lucky would pick us up around 6. We had our breakfast and lunchboxes with us and in the dark we started driving again. To see the sunrise over the savannah with the elepants in the mist is something i cannot describe you have to experience that. After a beautiful day and after seeing so many animals Lions, leopads, widerbeest, pumba etc etc etc we returned to the camp in the evenibg, tired but satisfied. After a dip in the pool and another delicios dinner, we went to bed early. At 6 a.m. Lucky was waiting for us again fot our last game drive and onze again we were not disappointed, Kenya is a beautiful country. Around half past 11 we were back at the hotel. We packed our things and had lunck. Unfortunately our safari was over. Lucky tool us back to the airstrip. We really had tree great days. Julius thank you for arranging it ans Lucky you are really the best and nicest guide.

Very responsible agent
Four of us went to Tanzania safaris by using this travel agent. Our driver Noely is a great guy who took care of us on every details. Our last day back to Kilimanjaro airport had a tight schedule. Noely calculated very carefully and let us had breakfast in hotel in the morning. The trip was perfect. I would highly recommend this agent!

Friendly, fast communication with the company.
I booked my 5 day safari via Axis safari because they answered my questions quickly and friendly. They told me that I would be picked up at 8 am. In the evening before my safari started, they suddenly changed the pick up to 07am because my hotel was too far away (airport hotel) which stressed me out a bit. Then they picked me up to bring me to the office in the city centre where I met my group and we had to wait until 9am to leave. Once we started with our tour guide Solomon I had a beautiful 5-day safari experience. Solomon was a very good driver and I always felt safe although the streets were muddy and bumby. He knows everything about the national parks we visited and the animals we saw. He answered all our questions and it was fun to talk to him. It was easy to add or change something from our itinerary. Solomon is a super friendly, competent and funny guide. I would recommend everybody to go on safari with him as a guide! All in all I had an amazing experience and I would always book it again with Axis and Solomon as a guide. However I would suggest to communicate the pick up times earlier or let the customers know from the beginning that you will meet at the office in the city centre. Cause then they can just book a hotel nearby to avoid the long wait. Thank you Axis and Solomon!
