Amazing
Well organized trip with amazing people. The accommodation was really nice. We were also pleased with our driver, John. This was our first safari, so really an unforgettable experience. We would definately recommend Axis Africa Safaris to everyone.

Gecko Organized Our Terrific Trip to Selous Game Reserve and Zanzibar
Gecko is a first-rate operation. They were tireless in offering different options for both the safari and Zanzibar beach parts of our trip, and then being super-responsive and helpful throughout, both before and after we booked. The trip itself was terrific, and everything was perfectly organized, especially the accommodation and transport reservations, as well as all transfers. Both Rama in the office and Rama on safari as our guide did an excellent job, as did Amani as our Zanzibar contact. It was also important to us to work with locally-based operators, and Gecko is great in this regard too. I would travel with them again in a minute and recommend them unreservedly.

Well organised, good liaison, excellent guide and unforgettable experience
We did the 4D3N Kruger and Panaromic Tour Experience. Due to our flight schedule, we had to change the itinerary of the trip and Danielle/Amy kindly accommodated our requests. We were given an upgrade to our room with private candle light dinner. What a great way to enjoy our honeymoon. Our guide, Jayden entertained us throughout and was very knowledgable about the safaris and behaviours of the animals. Caught the big five and many other animals up close. Guess the point in spending so much to go to a safari is because each trip will definitely be different. There is always the anticipation of possibility spotting an interesting sight, the disappointment and frustration when you missed something and the satisfaction when you see something out of the blue. The leopard and the lions were just meters away from us. The panaromic tour would have been better if not for the fog. We managed to see half of what was planned. On our last morning safari before departure, we were treated to a big surprise; a pack of wild dogs along S1 when we were driving towards Phabeni gate. Totally enjoyed ourselves and it was an unforgettable experience for my wife and I.

11 days Kenya and Tanzania
The booking process was easy after selecting the safari group. We initially found Amazing Memories through Safari Bookings. Emails were answered quickly with the appropriate information. Accommodation was great – glamping and hotels and the staff friendly and helpful. Our guide Daniel (in Kenya) and Charles (in Tanzania) were amazing and put us in front of the big 5 (rhinos from afar). They shared their knowledge of the culture and the animals and we had many discussions of the African way of life. I would happily recommend Amazing Memories Safaris to take you on an incredible journey.

A par excellent person (Antony Gitau), in all fields of his tour operation, and knowledge!
Right from the beginning to the end of our safari package, he had firstly understood our requirements and given 100% in terms of selection of place of stay, travel within, meal, safari tours and of course his own personalized service which is so very valuable, in every aspect.
He had meticulously planned the entire Safari tour, not to mention of his own inept knowledge about the animal kingdom, which was so valuable to understand for our own knowledge and understanding!!!!
An excellent human being, with a clear and focussed approach to the entire process with a well-defined advance agenda. Every agenda was so well rehearsed and planned that nothing was missed or had an ambiguity!!!!
I personally would recommend every African Safari (In Kenya) to avail of his services. Wishing him all the best of endeavors in the future.......

An all Life-changing exciting adventure with a fantastic professional team!
My Hubby, John and I climbed Kili in June 2015. We met a really awesome group of guys led by David who is the head guide. The team are really passionate about their jobs and love what they do making sure you enjoy every step of your journey. We loved the experience so much we went back in June 2018 with a group of friends to experience the Machame Route a 2nd time. The experience for us was even better than what we remembered the 1st time. Although the 2nd time was quite different to the first with heavy ice on the summit night. The porters as always were very friendly and welcoming, making sure they were always prepared and awaiting our arrival at each camp every day. Each day we were welcomed by singing, popcorn, biscuits, hot tea and coffee and of course the mandatory bowl of warm water to refresh ourselves. Each day had its own challenges but David and his team made each step a memorable one with the usual "Pole Pole" whenever we felt quite adventurous and wanted to motor ahead. The meals at lunch and dinner were spectacular and one would never know that they had been prepared on the mountain.
Overall, it was a breathtaking and an awesome experience for us and especially to experience the climb again with good friends and a team from Enjoy Kili who you could rely on at all times. Their experience over more than 20 years really showed in the manner in which they shared their knowledge and skills.
I would highly recommend David, Frazier and their team from ENJOY KILI.

Much better than what we expected
In the 8 days trip (6 days safari in southern circuit + 2 days in Zanzibar), our guides Ibrahim and Khalifa have arranged an amazing tour for us. Of course the national parks, natural environment and culture in Tanzania are remarkable, but the most impressive thing for me in Tanzania was the hospitable and friendly people. We enjoyed this trip so much and wish to go there again soon!

Exceptional Service with Namibia Experts
This is the second time we have used the Cardboard Box - working with Lilly each time. The service each time has been exceptional with clear communication and support provided when needed. Booking was made easier by using their website to look at accommodation options, possible itinerary's, general information about the country and pricing.
The vehicle and all accommodation were provided seamlessly and were to the standard expected and at times more.
The Cardboard Box is the place to go to when booking travel in Namibia. I cant speak highly enough about the service they provided.

Helpful tour operator
Communication with Lydia was very easy. She responded fast and she covered all my questions.
I knew what to expect from the whole safari experience with this company because my friend had done the same tour a month ago. The camp is basic, regarding the tents and the food but you don’t spend much time there. In the camp I met travelers from different tour operators and we had more or less the same schedule with more or less the same prices.
Undoubtedly the experience with the animals is unforgettable and you will see quite many!
My recommendation is to find a tour operator that is helpful and his/her price fits your budget. The rest depends on the driver you will get!
P.S. If you are traveling solo be prepared to share a tent!
