Gilbert was everything you want in a safari guide - knowledgeable, friendly, and accomadating.
In 2 days we were able to find ALL the animals! Every animal in the Big 5 & Ugly 5 & more up close. Only cheetah & leopard were farther away. With Ndutu Green Explorers we went to 3 safari sites. The Ngorongoro Crater was the best and we saw Rinos twice up close. Gilbert answered all our questions and he knew where to go to get the most out of our short safari.

Amazing experience with Lobo Africa
Our 2-day safari to Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater was an amazing experience. Even though it was a short safari, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, which made it truly unforgettable. The breathtaking scenery and wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater were absolutely outstanding.
A special thank you to our guide, Laizer, for his professionalism, knowledge, and for making this safari such a memorable experience.
I highly recommend Lobo Africa to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. They exceeded our expectations, and I would definitely travel with them again.
Gilbert delivered an awesome animal sighting experience, was very personable and entertaining.
Gilbert delivered an awesome animal sighting experience, was very personable and had a lot of good facts about the animals, land, and Masaai people. He was accommodating on where we went and had good instinct on what time and how long to stay in certain places.
Great lunches and night stays included with the Safari.

"The Safari of a Lifetime – Expertly Planned, Perfectly Guided."
Our recent safari in Kenya with Viega Expedition was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The itinerary was expertly tailored to our needs, taking us through the breathtaking Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, where we experienced the true beauty of nature and incredible wildlife.
The accommodation was outstanding, offering a perfect balance of comfortable camps and luxury lodges, each with its own unique charm. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the adventure.
One of the biggest factors in making this safari so special was having an expert driver and guide. Robert's knowledge, instincts and years of experience made all the difference. He knew the parks exceptionally well, anticipated where wildlife would be, and his skill and patience enabled us to see the entire Big Five, along with countless other incredible animals and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
A special thank you also goes to Rodger, whose dedication and professionalism ensured everything ran seamlessly. He maintained regular communication before and throughout our trip, making sure every detail was taken care of and that our safari was truly exceptional.
If you're looking for a personalised, professionally organised safari in Kenya, we cannot recommend Viega Expedition highly enough. They delivered memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.

A Truly Exceptional Madagascar Experience - thank you Danielos!
We worked with Danielos at Friendly Tour Guide Madagascar to plan a bespoke 14-day itinerary for our family of five, including our three children (ages 17, 12, and 10). From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful, responsive, and attentive, taking the time to create an itinerary that perfectly matched what we wanted to experience in Madagascar.
Everything was exceptionally well organised. Danielos selected wonderful local guides for each part of our journey, and every single one was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing their corner of this amazing country. He also took care of all our transport and accommodation, making the entire trip completely stress-free.
What really set Danielos apart was the personal care and attention he gave us throughout the trip. He was there to welcome us on arrival, regularly checked in with us to make sure everything was running smoothly, and was always available if we needed anything. We genuinely felt well looked after, completely safe, and in very capable hands from start to finish.
Madagascar is an extraordinary destination, and thanks to Danielos, we were able to experience it in a way that exceeded all our expectations. It was a truly unforgettable family adventure, unlike any holiday we've ever had, and one that has given us memories we'll treasure for the rest of our lives.
A huge thank you to Danielos for making our trip so special. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Friendly Tour Guide Madagascar to anyone looking for a seamless, authentic, and unforgettable experience in Madagascar.

Good tour operator.but not so good driver
The was good until the last day. On the second last day our driver Roger made us aware of protests happening on the following day and gave us a choice of whether or not to go straight back to Nairobi rather than do an early morning game drive. We wanted to go back to Nairobi to avoid the protests but then he adamantly took us to the national park in order to "secure a good review" (his words). We all told him that we didn't feel safe to hang around to do the game drive after which he said we'll go back to Nairobi, but then he lied and still drove us to the park. We were all furious with him.
All in all, although the tour operator and safari were good, best to find out who your driver is in advance to see if it is roger.
Also a side note, Axis may say it's not needed to carry your passport with you (in case you decide to leave it at your hotel for safe keeping), but one of the hotels in Nakuru did request at least a copy of your passport upon check in.
Final side note, we gave our dietary requirements (vegetarian) but for some reason Axis did not relay to the camp in amboselli. Fortunately the camp managed to accommodate us as best as they could.

Everything was well organised. The lodges and camps where very good. We would recommend it!
Lodges where very good. The organisation was perfect. Jackeline was in contact with us during all the safari. The jeep was perfect and also the guide Raymond. We had a person in charge on each lodge which is very good.

fantastic！
This has been an absolutely wonderful trip. I never imagined I would have such an amazing experience before coming here.
First of all, the staff here are extremely warm, hospitable and patient, always ready to help us resolve any problems we ran into.
Secondly, Uganda boasts stunning natural scenery. We encountered silverback gorillas and visited Queen Elizabeth National Park, where we spotted a wide variety of wildlife including lions, elephants, buffalos, rhinos and crocodiles.
Thirdly, our accommodation was excellent. The resort was lovely and offered us a comfortable place to rest well. Our 4WD safari vehicle was also very clean and tidy.
All in all, every part of this journey was fantastic. I highly recommend everyone to travel to Uganda.
