A Great Value for an Amazing Experience
Axis Safari's 5-day Masai Mara option was an incredible experience. We had the opportunity to see animals at 3 different locations (Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, and Lake Nakuru), and each area was beautiful in its unique way. We saw four of the big five, and had the opportunity to visit the Masai camp. Our tour director Josh was knowledgeable and friendly, and made sure everything went smoothly. Our accommodations were clean and the food was excellent, even the camp site at the Mara. Everything was included and as advertised on safaribookings.com, from the meals to the water. Truly a great value for the money!

I am hooked
That I like South Africa, that I already knew from a previous, private trip. But that this place would actually get under my skin, move me deeply and would have me longing to go back the moment I entered my plane back to Germany, that I did not expect. So how did that happen? Well basically it comes down to four letters: Jaco. Jaco, our guide for our Panorama Route and Kruger Park Tour has such a passion and great understanding for nature, wildlife and the lands' history, that his love for South Africa is simply contagious. Also did we as a group click very quickly and since everyone shared pretty much the same humour, it was a week full of learning, laughing and living to the fullest. Already planning our next trip with Red Africa Safaris and Jaco. Highly recommendable.

Professional, always friendly, patient for all questions
I was in Mombasa, Diani Beach. Diani Reef Hotel. Nice hotel, beautiful beach, very friendly and helpful staff. From there I've done a safari in Massai Mara with a small plane from Ukundu Airfield. The lodge named "Osero" was gorgeous, in the middle of wilderness. With an extraordinary comfort and service on a high level, I did'nt expected this. The the unbelievable richness of nature, landscape and animals in Massai Mara. That was one of my best experiences in my life.
My guide Tunu was always friendly and well organized in all situations. It was a pleasure to travel with her. She is doing her job very professional.
Her knowledge of the German language was astonishing good. That makes understanding very easy.The whole journey was organized by Tammy Tours. Next time I will travel to Kenia, I 'm sure, I travel with Tammy Tours again.

An easy, budget-friendly safari program perfect for experiencing the Serengeti's astounding beauty.
I went on a Happy World Safari with three friends from college at the end of May and really enjoyed my trip. Our safari was 4 nights and we went to Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We had a landcruiser, guide, and cook to ourselves which was great. We opted to stay in tents for a more budget-friendly safari and it was more comfortable than I imagined. The tents were very big and the guide and cook set them up and took them down for us each day. They also provided sleeping bags and thick, foam sleeping mats. The camp sites were decent, nothing fancy, but we slept well each night and spent most of our time on the road anyway. The food was amazing whenever it was prepared by the cook; at some parks all the safari guests receive the same boxed lunches which were ok, but every tour company seemed to use them. The car itself was really nice and even had a mini-fridge and chargers. This safari company was also very flexible and accommodating—we designed our own itinerary, lodging, and food preferences and they worked with us to make sure we had airport transportation sorted. I would definitely recommend Happy World. The guide went out of his way to make sure we saw some amazing animals and I was blown away by the beauty of the Serengeti.

Experience of a lifetime, a dream come true!
The Safari tour with Axis Safari was impecable from pick up to drop off. Our driver Joshua is probably the best driver out there in the Masai Mara.
Thanks to his skills we got to see 4 Black Rhinos on the second day, while other trucks that followed us got stuck in the offroad.
We got to see 4 out of the big five, only missing the leopard. Got to see one male lion, this was a highlight for me. Also got to see a lot of lioness with their cubs. Food during the trip and in the camp is basic but good.
Did the 3 days and for me it was more than enough even if I would have liked to visit Nakuru lake also.
Strongly recommend.

The best journey ever!!
My wife and I came back from Tanzania last week. We have been the most enjoyable journey of a lifetime.
First of all, we had thoughtful arrangements by Duma explorer's big boss-Stacy. All accommodation and food are excellent. We are so pleasure that the staff at the place where we stayed know that this time is our honeymoon trip. We were very happy to make arrangements for special preferential services.
Two nights at Kiota Camp was the best stay we had ever stayed in Tanzania. Thanks a lot to the manager and his staff. They were very nice, kind and helpful. We were satisfied with the accommodation that was so comfortable in the wilderness. It’s really wonderful experience.
We would like to pay special compliment to their excellent safari tour guide, Chaduu. During these eight days, he took care of us very well and carefully. In the safari trips, through his professional skills and keen sense of touch, we saw more animals than others. He had the same good visual abilities as a zebra, and his sensitive ability to predict so that we could saw the scene of a rhinoceros and eight lions hunting three antelopes. Chaduu was a pioneer a lot of time, and the tour guides of other companies followed him a lot. He is an animal dictionary and can explain to us at any time that each animal's habits and characteristics are quite professional. I can feel that he is a person who loves nature and loves his job. Thank you for arranging him as our guide.
We love him a lot!
Duma Explorer is the best ever!

Unforgettable!
Everything was perfect. This was our first safari so naturally we were speaking with a few safari agents but it was Natasha at Sun safaris who made this experience so easy and booking a no brainer. She immediately requested a phone call where we can discuss our interests and goals in order to help shape the best safari. She suggested an amazing camp for us in Botswana that was even more beautiful than she described! Two american thumbs up and 5 stars from us!

Safari dream comes true with Karibu Safaris
It was complicated for me as a solo traveler to find safaris without the "single occupancy fee" and that could meet my budget as safaris are usually quite expensive. Until I reached Karibu Safaris. They did not have a fee for single bookings and it was also very affordable. I did the 6-day safari including Maasai Mara, boat trip in Naivasha, lake Nakuru and Amboseli. My tour guides were my family during those 6 days and I hope to keep in touch with such wonderful people (Meri, Raymund and Jackson). I learned so much about Kenya's culture and the animals by socializing with each member of staff, from the Maasai protecting the camp, to the cook (Eugene) and my tour guide friends. I would advise to buy water everywhere you can because sometimes it is not possible for the driver to obtain enough to meet everyone's needs. The food is great! And, the way Raymund and Jackson know their way around and where to find the animals is phenomenal!! I will come again!! Asante Sana!!

Professional and customer-service oriented operator
African Bush Lovers is easy to communicate with, very responsive, customer friendly at a fair price. We used Transfer service and Sunset Cruise and both services were carried out very well by professional staff and 'mother nature' was with us to offer a terrific leopard sighting. We can highly recommend African Bush Lovers.
