Macvek Tours and Travels has the best team members. The staff were great right from consultations to advise on the tour packages and managing my trip bookings. My trip experience to travel to Uganda my homeland using their services was great. They helped with securing my e-visa and tickets for all three of my family members. I can't wait to travel to Sao Tome and principe with my family and Costa Rica all with the wonderful services of the team at Macvek Tours and Travels. Dorothy, Rachael and Alex great team players.

Highly organized and professional
our group of four had an unforgettable experience with Mellivora African travels. We visited Tarangire National Park, Ndutu Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. We watched all big five and plenty of other animals and birds. Before the trip, I had very effective and smooth communication with the owner Fransisca when planning our trip. He always answered my questions very quickly and patiently. Mellivora African travels is a local travel agency and their pricing is very reasonable compared to other travel agencies, especially international travel agencies. Our safari guide and driver Ben is simply gorgeous and amazing! He worked very hard everyday and made our trip such a wonderful experience! The guide Issa for our one-day Kilimanjaro hike is amazing too! Thank you guys and you are the best!

Perfect unforgettable Safari!
Our trip in Kenya was amazing experience. And our guide Mike was a perfect guy to show us always the hospitality and took care of us and kids during the Safari tour.
We were thrilled to be able to closely observe a cheetah devouring a baby Thomson's gazelle. Mike was wonderful because when we were distracted by a nearby hyena, he thoughtfully told us that there was a cheetah over there and showed us the cheetah meal scene when no one had arrived yet. He knew the animals so well that he waited until the cheetahs had finished their meal. And as he predicted, after the cheetahs walked away, hyenas and vultures came scavenging for leftovers at great speed. We were amazed and impressed by his professionalism as a safari guide.
At Naivasha Sopa Lodge, we were greeted by a zebra on the terrace of our room. The lodge grounds are home to zebra, giraffe, waterbuck, and a variety of beautiful birds that kept us entertained during our short stay and allowed us to see the animals very closely.
Also, the terrace breakfast at Masai Mara Camp was excellent. The Maasai staff made us feel welcome and provided excellent service. The fresh blue sky, the beautiful savannah, and the giraffe and her cubs walking peacefully in the savannah, made breakfast an unforgettable experience.
The walk to the Maasai village was an adventure due to the muddy soil after the rain. This made the experience in the Maasai village even more memorable. We enjoyed the Maasai dance and jumping competitions, and the children enjoyed our Japanese kendama performance, which was a memorable time. Mike always had a smile on his face and took care of us. We loved him and will miss him when we leave Kenya.
Lastly, this was our first trip to Africa and we were excited, but at the same time we had anxiety before we got to Kenya. Thank you so much Filipa for planning the tour all through online communication and responding to our detailed questions in a polite and prompt manner.

helpful and very friendly
We were very satisfied with this trip from end to end.
We experienced so many awesome things in Namibia.
The guy from the rental car agency gave us all the tips required to have a safe trip.
We never had any issue regarding the trip except one night in the desert camp lodge where our booking has not been approved properly. But it was solved very quickly.

Amazing safari company organized the best trip!
This was one of the best safari adventures I have been on. Bernard organized the perfect itinerary for us, with a lot of back and forth with me to ensure that the trip was exactly what we were looking for. Martin the guide met us at Kilimanjaro Airport with a very comfortable land cruiser (which sounds like an oxymoron but it really was!) that we spent the whole week in. He was incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, and with a great sense of humour. We visited four different national parks (Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Tarangire), and each one was an amazing experience. All in all, I highly recommend It Started in Africa, and will definitely recommend them to everyone I know.

Khalifa was absolutely incredible we could not fault him he had buckets of info and stories to share
We chose Axis Africa as it was recommended from another group of friends. I was in contact with Lennox who was organising our trip. The safari itself was incredible and our driver Khalifa made it more special. He shared loads of information about the animals we were seeing and always had a funny anecdote to share which kept everything so interesting! Unfortunately, Lennox scheduled and charged us for a day of activities that we were unable to complete as he didn't allow for transfer time to the airport that day which was a bit disappointing. He didn't have any way to compensate for this and my last two emails to Lennox have been left unanswered.

Fantastic private custom-made safari through Kenya and Tanzania
From the drawing board to the actual tour, the support was simply outstanding.
Took a private custom-made safari of Kenya and Tanzania and the organization was superb.
Everything worked like a charm during our stay - from hotel bookings to venues, visits, vehicles and guides - all excelled.
The greatest plus for me wast hat we had wine included in our pic-nic meals in Tanzania :) Yay!
